Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Time to Progressive Disease (TTPD) by Treatment Schedule
TTPD is defined as the time from the day of treatment to first observation of documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever comes first. TTPD was censored at the time of last follow-up for patients who were still alive without progression. Tumor response was assessed in cancer patients by using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), which define when cancer patients improve ("respond"), stay the same ("stabilize"), or worsen ("progression") during treatments. Progressive Disease is a ≥20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions.
Baseline up to 49.84 months

Interventions
Arm A: 1000 mg/m², 30 minute (min) intravenous (IV) infusion on Days 1 and 8, repeated every 21 days for 10 cycles for complete responders (CRs=disappearance of all target lesions) or partial responders (PRs≥30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions); 6 cycles for stable disease (SD=small changes that do not meet the above criteria); or until progressive disease (PD≥20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions). Arm B: 1250 mg/m², 30 min IV infusion on Days 1 and 8, repeated every 21 days for 10 cycles for CRs or PRs; 6 cycles for SD; or until PD. Arm C: 800 mg/m², 30 min IV infusion on Days 1, 8, and 15 repeated every 21 days for 10 cycles for CRs or PRs; 6 cycles for SD; or until PD. Arm D: 800 mg/m², 30 min IV infusion on Days 1, 8, and 15 repeated every 28 days for 10 cycles for CRs or PRs; 6 cycles for SD; or until PD.
Arm A: 75 milligram per square meter (mg/m²), 60 min IV infusion on Day 1 only, to be given 30 min prior to Gemcitabine, repeated every 21 days (tri-weekly) for 10 cycles for CRs or PRs; 6 cycles for SD; or until PD. Arm C: 30 mg/m², 30-60 min IV infusion on Days 1, 8, and 15, to be given 30 min prior to Gemcitabine, repeated every 28 days (weekly) for 10 cycles for CRs or PRs; 6 cycles for SD; or until PD.
Arm B: 175 mg/m², IV infusion over approximately 3 hours, followed by Gemcitabine, on Day 1, repeated every 21 days (tri-weekly) for 10 cycles for CRs or PRs; 6 cycles for SD; or until PD. Arm D: 80 mg/m², IV infusion over approximately 1 hour, Days 1, 8, and 15, followed by Gemcitabine, repeated every 28 days (weekly) for 10 cycles for CRs or PRs; 6 cycles for SD; or until PD.
