N-(Phosphonacetyl)-L-aspartic acid, an inhibitor of aspartate transcarbamylase, was administered to 25 patients with advanced cancer by 10-minute infusion daily x 5 consecutive days to determine the toxicity and to look for evidence of therapeutic effect. Planned dose escalations ranged from 100 to
N-(Phosphonacetyl)-L-aspartic acid (PALA) was administered at a dose of 1.5 g/m2/day x 5 days in a phase II evaluation of 21 patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum. Courses were repeated every 3 weeks. No responses were seen, but 11 patients had disease stabilization. PALA
Thirty-seven patients with inoperable malignancies were given 75 courses of N-(phosphonaceteyl)-L-aspartic acid (PALA). Twenty-seven of these patients received PALA as a continuous iv infusion over 24 hours at dose levels ranging from 500 to 10,500 mg/m2 of estimated body surface area. In addition,
A phase I clinical trial of N-phosphonacetyl-L-aspartic acid (PALA) and 5-fluorouracil (FUra) was performed on 30 patients. PALA was given as a 15-minute iv infusion once daily for 5 days, and FUra was given as a bolus injection on days 2, 3, 4, and 5. Cycles of treatment were repeated every 3
While N-phosphonacetyl-L-aspartic acid (PALA), an inhibitor of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis, demonstrated a unique spectrum of activity during preclinical drug evaluation, multiple clinical trials have shown it to possess minimal clinical activity. One explanation for the disappointing results is
N-(Phosphonacetyl)-L-aspartic acid (PALA) was given as a 5-day continuous infusion in a phase I trial. Dose-limiting toxic effects noted were diarrhea occurring at doses of greater than or equal to 6 g/m2/course, mucositis occurring at doses of greater than or equal to 7.5 g/m2/course, and skin rash
5-Fluorouracil (FUra) is a clinically useful antineoplastic agent. Preclinical studies suggest that the therapeutic effects of FUra can be enhanced by pretreatment with N-(phosphonacetyl)-L-aspartic acid (PALA), an inhibitor of aspartate transcarbamylase. The objective of treatment with PALA is to
Twenty-eight patients with refractory advanced malignancies were treated with a 24 hr infusion of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), Leucovorin (LV), and N-(phosphonacetyl)-L-aspartic acid (PALA) weekly. Twenty-seven patients were evaluable for the assessment of toxicity and anti-tumor activity. PALA was
Twenty-eight patients with refractory advanced malignancies were treated with a 24-hour infusion of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), leucovorin (LV), and N-(phosphonacetyl)-L-aspartic acid (PALA) weekly. Twenty-seven patients were evaluable to assess toxicity and antitumor activity. The PALA was administered
OBJECTIVE
Several agents have been evaluated for their effect as biochemical modulators of fluorouracil (5-FU) in the treatment of metastatic colorectal carcinoma. In this study, we used folinic acid (FA), N-phosphonacetyl-L-aspartic acid (PALA), and recombinant interferon alfa-2a (IFNalpha-2a) in a
OBJECTIVE
To investigate mechanism-directed regimens in maximizing the efficacy of fluorouracil (5-FU) in advanced colorected cancer.
METHODS
Based on promising phase II data, a randomized comparison of various methods for the biochemical modulation of 5-FU was undertaken in patients with advanced
N-Phosphonacetyl-L-aspartic acid (PALA) is new synthetic antimetabolite which inhibits de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis. Its significant activity against Lewis lung carcinoma, B16 melanoma, and glioma 26 suggested that it might be useful in the treatment of human solid tumors. Phase I trials revealed
Three hundred thirty-five previously untreated patients with advanced colorectal carcinoma were randomly assigned to treatment with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) alone, 5-FU plus N-(phosphonacetyl)-L-aspartic acid (PALA), 5-FU plus high-dose thymidine, 5-FU plus levamisole, or 5-FU plus methyl CCNU,
OBJECTIVE
N-(phosphonacetyl)-L-aspartic acid (PALA) is a pyrimidine synthesis inhibitor that modulates fluorouracil (FU) cytotoxicity. Two previous studies of patients with colorectal carcinoma documented complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) rates of 40% and 43% using weekly low-dose
