Phase I trial of combined irinotecan and oxaliplatin given every three weeks to patients with metastatic colorectal cancer

Abstract: The combination of irinotecan and oxaliplatin is safe and apparently active in the treatment of MCC patients. The recommended dose for phase II studies is 175 mg/m(2) irinotecan plus 130 mg/m(2) oxaliplatin, given every 3 weeks. Neutropenia and delayed recovery of neutrophil counts are the predominant early toxicities with this schedule.
