We performed a phase I/II study of CPT-11/5FU/l-LV in advanced colorectal cancer, to determine the optimal dose of CPT-11 and to estimate the safety and efficacy of this regimen
A multicenter Open-label, single-arm, phase I/II clinical trial is conducted on patients with histological stage IV colorectal cancer given irinotecan, leucovorin plus fluorouracil. The usefulness of this regimens as 1st line therapy for colorectal cancer was evaluated by the disease-free survival rate (DFR), median survival time (MST), incidence and severity of adverse event.
