Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study was designed to find the optimum AVN944 dose to use in combination with gemcitabine in patients with pancreatic cancer and see if the combination of the 2 drugs was more effective for treating pancreatic cancer than using gemcitabine alone.

* No prior chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer including no prior "radiosensitizing" chemotherapy
* Patients are candidates to receive gemcitabine as first line treatment for adenocarcinoma of the pancreas
* Age \> 18 years
* Karnofsky Performance Score of less than or equal to 60
* Patients must be recovered from the clinically significant effects of any prior surgery or prior radiotherapy
* Adequate bone marrow, hepatic and renal function as evidenced by:

* Platelet count \> 100 x 109/L,
* Hgb \> 9.0 g/dL
* Female patients of childbearing potential as well as fertile men and their partners who agree to use an effective form of contraception during the study and for 90 days following the last dose of study medication (an effective form of contraception is an oral contraceptive or a double barrier method)
* Patients or their legal representatives must be able to read, understand and provide written informed consent to participate in the trial.

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients with a life expectancy \< 3 months
* Patients with known CNS metastases
* Patients with an uncontrolled active infection

* Patients who are receiving concurrent investigational therapy or who have received investigational therapy within 14 days of the first scheduled day of dosing (investigational therapy is defined as treatment for which there is currently no regulatory authority approved indication).
