Methods:Between 04/99 and 01/00, 81 patients with recurrent or metastatic CRC were included. Mean age was 63 years (40–77), male/female ratio 46/35, ECOG 0/1/2 39/36/6. The study regimen consisted of Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 in 120-minute intravenous infusion on days 1 and 15; intravenous l,LV 250 mg/m2 given in two hours on day 1, followed by oral UFT 390 mg/m2 on days 1 to 14, and oral l,LV 7.5 mg/12 hours on days 2 to 14. Pills were taken before meals to favour absorption (for instance, at 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.). Cycles were repeated every 28 days. Results:A total of 470 cycles of chemotherapy were delivered with a median of six cycles per patient (range 1–12). A pre-scheduled preliminary analysis was performed after inclusion of 16 patients.
