摘要: PURPOSE: To evaluate in patients with advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) three treatment regimens of oral capecitabine order to select the most appropriate regimen for testing phase III. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Three schedules were evaluated a randomized II design: arm A, 1,331 mg/m2/d bid continuously; B, 2,510 intermittently (2 weeks on/1 week off); and C, 1,657 plus leucovorin 60 mg/d off). RESULTS: One hundred nine randomized; 39 assessable efficacy 34 35 C. Patient characteristics balanced arms. Confirmed tumor responses (partial response [PR] + complete [CR]) reported eight two CRs (21%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 9% 36%) one CR (24%; CI, 11% 41%) (23%; 10% 40%) Median times progression (TTP) i...
