Fourteen patients with metastatic colon cancer which had progressed under fluoro-folates chemotherapy were treated with MM-C (10 mg/m(2) on day 1), 5-FU (370 mg/m(2) for 5 consecutive days), l-LV (500 mg/m(2) for 5 consecutive days) and CDDP (70 mg/m(2) on day 4), every 29th day till further disease progression. Neither CR nor PR were observed; 3 patients only had stable disease, while the extant 11 patients progressed. Resulting toxicity was severe. Since no antitumor effects were evidenced in the first 14 patients, the study was discontinued according to commonly accepted criteria.

Abstract

Fourteen patients with metastatic colon cancer which had progressed under fluoro-folates chemotherapy were treated with MM-C (10 mg/m(2) on day 1), 5-FU (370 mg/m(2) for 5 consecutive days), l-LV (500 mg/m(2) for 5 consecutive days) and CDDP (70 mg/m(2) on day 4), every 29th day till further disease progression. Neither CR nor PR were observed; 3 patients only had stable disease, while the extant 11 patients progressed. Resulting toxicity was severe. Since no antitumor effects were evidenced in the first 14 patients, the study was discontinued according to commonly accepted criteria.
