Title

A Study of ADH300004 and 5-Fluorouracil in Locally Advanced, Recurrent, or Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma
A Phase 1/2 Study in Subjects With Locally Advanced, Recurrent, or Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Evaluating the Safety, and Anti-Tumor Activity of ADH300004 (Eniluracil) With Escalating Doses of 5 Fluorouracil Administered Orally Once Weekly for 3 Weeks Out of Every 4 (Adherex Protocol Number AHX-03-103)

  • Phase

5-fluorouracil (5-FU), one of the most actively investigated anti-cancer drugs, is rapidly inactivated by the enzyme dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD). ADH300004 blocks DPD. This study will test the safety and effects of oral ADH300004 14 hours prior to oral 5-FU in subjects with locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma.
