Abstract
To investigate mechanism-directed regimens in maximizing the efficacy of fluorouracil (5-FU) in advanced colorected cancer. Based on promising phase II data, a randomized comparison of various methods for the biochemical modulation of 5-FU was undertaken in patients with advanced colorectal cancer. The control group received single-agent 5-FU as a 24-hour infusion weekly. Patients (N = 1,120) with no prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease were randomized to one of the following arms: arm A, 5-FU 2,600 mg/m2 by 24-hour infusion, weekly; arm B, N-phosphonoacetyl-l-aspartic acid 250 mg/m2 day l, 5-FU 2,600 mg/m2 by 24-hour infusion day 2, weekly; arm C, 5-FU 600 mg/m2 with oral leucovorin (LV) 125 mg/m2 hourly for the preceding 4 hours, weekly; arm D, 5-FU 600 mg/m2 with intravenous (IV) LV 600 mg/m2, weekly; arm E, 5-FU 750 mg/m2/d IV by continuous infusion for 5 days, then 750 mg/m2 weekly, and recombinant interferon alfa-2a 9 million units subcutaneously three times weekly. Median follow-up was 4.8 years. Of the 1,098 assessable patients, 57% had measurable disease. The toxicity of all the regimens was tolerable. Grade 4 or worse toxicity occurred in 11%, 11%, 30%, 24%, and 22% on each arm, respectively; diarrhea was the mos...Continue Reading
