Official Title: A Phase I Study of ADH-1 and Gemcitabine Plus Cisplatin in Patients With Unresectable or Metastatic Pancreatic and Biliary Tract Cancers

Brief Summary: This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ADH-1 when given together with gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin in treating patients with metastatic pancreatic or biliary tract cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. ADH-1 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving ADH-1 together with gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin may kill more tumor cells.
