Background:Gemcitabine is the standard chemotherapy for the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer. The novel multitargeted antifolate pemetrexed (Alimta®) has also demonstrated activity in this disease. These two drugs are synergistic in vitro, and a phase I study has demonstrated activity of single-agent pemetrexed in pancreatic cancer.
