Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Other - filgrastim
Treatment: Drugs - gemcitabine hydrochloride
Treatment: Drugs - vinorelbine tartrate

Experimental: Treatment - Patients receive vinorelbine tartrate IV over 6-10 minutes and gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 100 minutes on days 1 and 8. Patients also receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously daily beginning on day 9 and continuing for at least 7 days and until blood counts recover. Treatment repeats every 21 days for at least 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with responding disease after 2 courses may proceed directly to stem cell transplantation off study OR receive 2 additional courses. Patients with stable disease after 2 courses receive at least 2 additional courses. Patients with continued stable or responding disease (with no disease progression) after 4 courses may continue to receive study treatment for up to 1 year or discontinue study for alternative therapy at the discretion of the treating physician.


Treatment: Other: filgrastim
Given by mouth or IV, 5 micrograms/kg/dose (up to 10 micrograms/kg/dose) daily starting on day 9 for a minimum of 7 days and until the ANC is greater to or equal to 1,500/uL.

Treatment: Drugs: gemcitabine hydrochloride
Given IV over 100 minutes dose 1000 mg/m2/dose in 500 ml NS on days 1 and 8

Treatment: Drugs: vinorelbine tartrate
Given IV over 6-10 minutes (central venous catheter). Dose 25 mg/m2/dose on days 1 and 8
