Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Erlotinib, escalating dose
Treatment: Drugs - Erlotinib, standard dose
Treatment: Drugs - Gemcitabine
Active comparator: Gemcitabine, Erlotinib Standard Dose - Participants received erlotinib, 100 milligrams (mg), orally (PO), once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Participants also received gemcitabine, 1000 mg per (/) square meter (m\^2), intravenously (IV), on Days 1, 8, and 15 of consecutive 4 week cycles until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Experimental: Gemcitabine, Erlotinib Escalating Dose - Participants received erlotinib, beginning at 150 mg/day, PO, once daily, and increasing in increments of 50 mg every 2 weeks up to a maximum of 250 mg/day, until development of a grade 2 rash, or occurrence of other, non-rash, dose-limiting toxicity; treatment was continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, death or withdrawal. Participants also received gemcitabine, 1000 mg/m\^2, IV, on Days 1, 8, and 15 of consecutive 4 week cycles until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Treatment: Drugs: Erlotinib, escalating dose

Progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed from the point of randomization was defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of progressive disease (PD) according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) or death due to any cause. For target lesions (TLs), PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of longest diameter (SLD) of TLs, taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded since the treatment started. For non-target lesions (NTLs), PD was defined as unequivocal progression of existing NTLs. Participants who had neither progressed nor died at time of analysis were censored at the date of last tumor assessment.

Summary
Brief summary
This study will compare the efficacy and safety of escalating versus standard doses to rash of Tarceva, in combination with gemcitabine, in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. During a 4 week run-in period, all patients will receive Tarceva 100mg/day po plus gemcitabine 1000mg/m2 iv on days 1, 8,15 and 22. After 4 weeks, patients who have not developed rash, or only develop grade 1 rash, will be randomized to one of 2 groups. Group 1 will receive a starting dose of Tarceva 150mg po daily, increased in steps of 50mg every 2 weeks up to a maximum of 250mg/day po, until development of grade 2 rash or other dose-limiting toxicity. Group 2 will continue to receive Tarceva 100mg/day po. All patients will continue to receive gemcitabine 1000mg/m2 iv on days 1, 8 and 15 of each 4 week cycle. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
