BackgroundIrinotecan (CPT-11) and bolus 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)/leucovorin (LV) administered weekly for 4 weeks every 42 days (Saltz regimen) is active but substantially toxic in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). The efficacy and toxicity of this regimen, however, have not been determined in Japanese patients with metastatic CRC.MethodsWe investigated the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), and recommended phase II dose (RD) for CPT-11 given i.v. (90-min infusion) and bolus 5-FU plus biologically activel-LV administered weekly for 3 weeks every 28 days (modified Saltz regimen) in Japanese patients with metastatic CRC. Eighteen patients with measurable disease, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 2 or less, and adequate organ functions were enrolled.ResultsAt dose level 2 (CPT-11, 100 mg/m2; 5-FU, 400 mg/m2; andl-LV, 25 mg/body), 1 of 6 patients had DLT (febrile neutropenia). At dose level 3 (CPT-11, 100 mg/m2; 5-FU, 500 mg/m2; andl-LV, 25 mg/body), 2 of 6 patients had DLT (febrile neutropenia and grade 4 neutropenia lasting more than 4 days). To determine whether level 3 was the MTD level, an additional 3 patients were treated at this level, but no DLT was observed. Consequently, 2 of 9 patients had DLT at level 3, this level thus being considered as the RD. At this level, grade 3–4 neutropenia was common but manageable. Nonhematological toxicities were mild. Seven partial responses were observed in the 18 enrolled patients (response rate [RR], 39%), and 8 patients (44%) experienced stable disease.ConclusionThis CPT-11/5-FU/l-LV regimen administered weekly for 3 weeks every 28 days has substantial antitumor activity, with manageable toxicities. A multicenter phase II study is currently underway.
