Study Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as gemcitabine and irinotecan use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving gemcitabine together with irinotecan works in treating patients with cancer of unknown primary origin.

Primary Outcome

The primary endpoint is confirmed response rate. If measurable disease is present, a confirmed tumor response is defined to be either a CR or PR noted as the objective status on 2 consecutive evaluations at least 4 weeks apart. All registered patients meeting the eligibility criteria that have signed a consent form and have begun treatment will be evaluable for response.
