Paclitaxel + Gemcitabine + Avastin
Treatment administered once every 2 weeks, 1 cycle will consist of 14 days.
Paclitaxel (administered first) - Patients will be pre-medicated with dexamethasone and diphenhydramine hydrochloride. Patients will received 150mg of paclitaxel via IV over 120 mins.
Gemcitabine (given after Paclitaxel) - Patients will receive 1500mg of Gemcitabine via IV over 30-60 minutes. Gemcitabine will be given after Paclitaxel.
Avastin - 10mg/kg will be given via IV over 90 mins (1st dose). Patients must remain under supervision for 1 hr after completion of the initial dose of Avastin. If no side effects occur, shortened, 60-min 2nd infusion, the post-infusion observation period for the subsequent infusions may be shortened to 20 minutes, and eliminated entirely with the fourth and subsequent infusions.

Treatment Period

Treatment will be administered once every 2 weeks. One cycle of therapy will consist of 14 days. Paclitaxel is administered first after appropriate premedications. Gemcitabine is administered second and Avastin is administered after chemotherapy, all given on day 1 of each cycle.
Paclitaxel: Patients will be premedicated with dexamethasone and diphenhydramine hydrochloride. Patients will received 150mg of paclitaxel via IV over 120 mins.
Gemcitabine: Patients will receive 1500mg of Gemcitabine via IV over 30-60 minutes. Gemcitabine will be given after Paclitaxel.
Avastin: 10mg/kg will be given via IV over 90 mins (1st dose). Patients must remain under supervision for 1 hr after completion of the initial dose of Avastin. If no side effects occur, shortened, 60-min 2nd infusion, the post-infusion observation period for the subsequent infusions may be shortened to 20 minutes, and eliminated entirely with the fourth and subsequent infusions.
