متن کاملAn economic evaluation of Tomudex (raltitrexed) and 5-fluorouracil plus leucovorin in advanced colorectal cancer.
Our objective was to establish the balance between costs and effects of treatment with Tomudex (raltitrexed) as an alternative to treatment with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) plus leucovorin (LV) in patients with advanced colorectal cancer. Data were used from an international, open label randomized clinical trial. Costs were calculated by multiplying resource utilization data with Dutch estimates of u...
متن کاملA phase I study of sequential irinotecan and 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin.
BACKGROUND Irinotecan (CPT-11) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)/leucovorin are active agents in colorectal cancer. A sequence-dependent synergism of SN-38 followed by 5-FU/leucovorin in vitro led us to conduct a phase I trial of CPT-11 followed by 5-FU/leucovorin to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and toxicities of this regimen and to obtain preliminary indications of its activity in patien...
متن کاملBimonthly high-dose leucovorin, 5-fluorouracil infusion and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX3) for metastatic colorectal cancer resistant to the same leucovorin and 5-fluorouracil regimen.
BACKGROUND FOLFOX2, a bimonthly regimen of high-dose leucovorin (LV), 48-hour continuous infusion of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) (LV-5-FU) and oxaliplatin (100 mg/m2) produced a high response rate (46%; 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 31%-60%) in 5-FU pre-treated patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. In this phase II study, pre-treated patients were given a lower dose of oxaliplatin to reduce...
