14599 Background: We prospectively conducted a phase II trial to test the efficacy and safety of irinotecan, 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin (FOLFIRI) regimens for the first-line treatment of previously untreated patients with recurrent or metastatic advanced CRC. Methods: Thirty-four previously untreated patients with advanced CRC were enrolled in this study from June 2001 to December 2006. Eligible patients had histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma, no prior systemic therapy in palliative setting, ECOG PS = 2, adequate organ function, written informed consent and at least one measurable disease. The patients received either irinotecan 180 mg/m2 on day 1 with a LV bolus of 200 mg/m2 and a FU bolus of 400 mg/m2, and this was followed by a FU continuous infusion of 600 mg/m2 on day 1 and day 2 (the classic FOLFIRI regimen), or they were treated with a LV bolus of 400 mg/m2 and a FU bolus of 400 mg/m2 followed by a FU continuous infusion of 2,400 mg/m2 for 46 hours (the simplified FOLFIRI regimen), and these treatments were repeated every 2 weeks until disease progression. Results: There were 13 females and 21 males with median age of 54 years (range: 41–79). The most common metastatic sites were lung and liver. A total of 262 cycles were administrated with median 6 cycles per patient (range: 1–22). All pts were evaluable for toxicity, and 30 pts for response to the treatment. The objective response rate was 26.4% with 2 complete responses respectively. Sixteen (47%) pts had stable disease and 7 (20.5%) had a progression. The tumor control rate was 73.4%. The median TTP was 5.3 months, and the overall survival was 10.1 months. The prognostic factor for longer TTP and survival was the ECOG performance status (PS). The type of regimens was not affected on response rate, TTP and survival. The chemotherapy was generally well tolerated and the most common grade 3–4 toxicities were neutropenia, diarrhea. The non- hematological toxicities were similar for both treatment groups, with more frequent grade =3 neutropenia being noted for the simplified FOLFIRI regimen. Conclusions: The FOLFIRI regimen was demonstrated to have a moderate antitumor activity with acceptable toxicity profiles, and tend to show more favorable outcome for patients with good ECOG PS. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
