You may be eligible if
Patients must have histological proven adenocarcinoma of the pancreas with potentially resectable disease based upon clinical staging.
Expected survival must be greater than three (3) months.
A Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) must be 70 or greater.
Patients must be \>18 years of age. Because Leukine® is a "Pregnancy Category C" drug, female patients must be not be lactating and must be surgically sterile (via hysterectomy or bilateral tubal ligation), postmenopausal, or using acceptable methods of contraception if they are of child bearing potential. Female patients of childbearing potential must also have a negative serum pregnancy test.
Patients must be able to understand and sign an informed consent form, which must comply with U.S. regulations (U.S. 21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50) and International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines. Availability of alternative curative treatment must be fully explained to the patient and documented in the informed consent form.
Eligible patients must meet the following laboratory parameters:
White blood cell (WBC) \>3,000/mm3
Platelets \>100,000/mm3
Hct \>33% or Hgb \>10.5 gm/dL
Prothrombin time (PT) within 3 seconds of control
Serum creatinine \<1.5 mg/dL
Serum calcium \<11.0 mg/dL
Serum Amylase \< 2 times the upper limit of normal
Negative HIV-Ag and HIV-Ab
