Erratum to: Cancer Chemother Pharmacol DOI 10.1007/s00280-007-0473-0

Erlotinib was erroneuosly included in the list of chemotherapeutic agents in the second sentence of paragraph 4 in Discussion. The first two sentences of this paragraph should thus read:

Many chemotherapeutic agents have been used in over 12 separate phase II or III doublet combinations with gemcitabine, many of which went on to become negative trials in large phase III studies in pancreatic cancer. These included oxaliplatin [21], cisplatin [22], irinotecan [23] and capecitabine [10, 16].
