PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: through study completion, up to 2 years and 6 months

Population: Samples inadequate for testing to meet objective; early termination of protocol due to low accrual.

The quantification of serum, PBMC, and cancer tissue levels of gemcitabine from frozen samples will be assessed using standardized techniques in high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectometry (HPLC/MS).

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: through study completion, up to 2 years and 6 months

Population: Samples inadequate for testing to meet objective; early termination of protocol due to low accrual.

Gemcitabine incorporation in DNA will be quantified by a proprietary LC/MS/MS method developed by Eli Lilly and performed by Advion BioServices. DNA extracted from the tissue samples to be sent to Advion.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: through study completion, up to 2 years and 6 months

Population: Samples inadequate for testing to meet objective; early termination of protocol due to low accrual

The mRNA level is measured using real time PCR and protein expressed by IHC, Gene expression level will be correlated to the gemcitabine measurements. Additionally measure markers of proliferation and apoptosis by p21and ki67 IHC and fluorescent TUNEL analysis.

Population: Samples inadequate for testing to meet objective; early termination of protocol due to low accrual.

The mRNA and protein expression of SHH, Gli, and SMO will be measured by RT-PCR and IHC method, respectively.
