The prevention of post-chemotherapy symptoms such as delayed emesis, anorexia, and fatigue induced by irinotecan has not been studied. We compared the effects of dexamethasone (Dex) with those of a placebo on these symptoms in a randomized study. Seventy patients scheduled to receive irinotecan
OBJECTIVE
Given that the prognosis of recurrent malignant glioma (MG) remains poor, improving quality of life (QoL) through symptom management is important. Meta-analyses establishing antiemetic guidelines have demonstrated the superiority of palonosetron (PAL) over older 5-hydroxytryptamine
OBJECTIVE
This study sought to prospectively determine the frequency of delayed nausea and vomiting with irinotecan-based chemotherapy following day 1 prophylaxis with a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist and dexamethasone.
METHODS
Patients with colorectal cancer aged ≥ 18 years with ECOG performance status
A 64 -year-old woman was referred to our hospital with a diagnosis of advanced rectal cancer with metastases to the left supraclavicular lymph nodes and paraaortic lymph nodes. Alow anterior resection was performed because of the symptoms of ileus. Subsequently, chemotherapy consisting of XELOX with
This meta-analysis was performed to compare the effects and toxicities between irinotecan/platinum (IP) and etoposide/platinum (EP) regimens as the fist-line treatment of patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (E-SCLC). A systematic search was made of MEDLINE, Cochrane, ISI Web of
OBJECTIVE
Uncertainty exists about whether elderly patients benefit to the same extent as younger patients from combination therapy with irinotecan in the first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC).
METHODS
Combined analysis was carried out with source data from the fluorouracil
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate three technologies for the management of advanced colorectal cancer: (1) first-line irinotecan combination [with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)] or second-line monotherapy; (2) first- or second-line oxaliplatin combination (again, with 5-FU); and (3) raltitrexed, where 5-FU is
OBJECTIVE
Safety evaluation of concomitant systemic chemotherapy and liver chemoembolization in patients with colorectal cancer.
METHODS
Seven patients with metastases confined to the liver were included and stratified into two groups, depending of dosage of systemic chemotherapy. The first group
BACKGROUND
Tolerability to irinotecan may be explained by pharmacogenomic polymorphisms. The purpose of this pharmacogenetic trial was to study the relevance of thymidylate synthase (TS) genotyping and of the isoform 1A1 of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT1A1) in order to tailor a
We previously established a limited sampling model (LSM) for the area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC) of irinotecan (CPT-11). Using this LSM, we performed a pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic analysis of CPT-11 in a multicentric Phase II study for non-small cell lung cancer. Ten
The safety of front-line chemotherapies for the treatment of extensive stage small-cell lung cancer (ED-SCLC) is uncertain. We carried out a network meta-analysis to compare the toxicity of different therapies for ED-SCLC.
We searched EMBASE, PubMed, CENTRAL and clinicaltrials.gov. We performed
OBJECTIVE
Irinotecan and cisplatin (IP) significantly improved survival compared with etoposide and cisplatin (EP), in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) in a previous Japan Clinical Oncology Group (JCOG) randomized trial. JCOG9903 was conducted to evaluate the safety of
BACKGROUND
It is unclear whether etoposide/cisplatin (EP) regimen is the optimal chemotherapy regimen in the treatment patients with extensive small cell lung cancer (SCLC), this study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of patients with extensive SCLC treated with irinotecan/cisplatin
BACKGROUND
Gefitinib potently inhibits neuroblastoma proliferation in vitro, and the gefitinib/irinotecan combination shows greater than additive activity against neuroblastoma xenografts. This Phase II pilot study estimated the rate of response to two courses of intravenous irinotecan plus oral
OBJECTIVE
IHL-305 is a novel PEGylated liposome containing irinotecan. This study examined the safety profile and pharmacokinetics of IHL-305 and established the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase II dose (RP2D).
METHODS
In a standard 3 + 3 design, IHL-305 was administered IV on day 1 of a
