Escalating doses of MMC starting from 6 mg m(-2) in 2 mg m(-2)-steps to a maximum of 10 mg m(-2) were applied on days 1 and 22, given to fixed doses of 5-FU (2.600 mg m(-2)) as 24 h infusion and folinic acid 500 mg m(-2) prior to 5-FU weekly for 6 weeks. At least three patients were treated at each dose level. A total of 16 patients have been included in the phase I study. At the highest dose level (MMC 10 mg m(-2)), grade III thrombocytopenia, dyspnoea, mucositis and diarrhoea were observed in one patient each (17 %). In the phase II study 45 patients, 33 with colorectal cancer and 12 with gastric cancer, 23 patients after failure of first- and 22 patients after at least second-line or subsequent chemotherapy have been treated. Seven partial responses (PR) were registered (16%), one (3%; CI(95%), 0-16) in colorectal and six (50%; CI(95%), 21-79%) in gastric cancer patients. In all, 17 (38%) achieved disease stabilisation, 15 colorectal (45%, CI(95%), 28-64%) and two gastric cancer patients (17%; CI(95%), 2-48%). The median progression-free survival was 3.1 months (range, 0.9-9.1) in colorectal and 4.6 months (range, 0.7-12.4) in gastric cancer. The median overall survival time was 6.6 months (range, 1.9-15.6) in colorectal and 7.1 months (range, 1.7-20.8) in patients with gastric cancer. This regimen was considered to be safe and well tolerated for pretreated patients with gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma. In gastric cancer,MMC plus infusional 5-FU/folinic acid may be a potential second-line regimen with promising antitumour activity.",
