Summary
Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining paclitaxel and bryostatin-1 in
treating patients who have locally advanced unresectable or metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop
growing or die. Bryostatin-1 may help paclitaxel kill more cancer cells by making tumor cells
more sensitive to the drug.
