Ai zheng = Aizheng = Chinese journal of cancer 2002 DecAtofloding (ATFU) is a new derivative of 5-fluorouracil. The phase I and II clinical study have been finished. The current study was a phase III clinical trail of ATFU. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, toxicity of ATFU combination chemotherapy and compare with ftorafur (FT-207) in patients with gastric cancer, colorectal, esophageal cancer, and liver cancer. A multicenter, open randomized controlled trial was carried out. A total of 320 patients with gastric cancer, colorectal, esophageal cancer and liver cancer were randomized into ATFU group (study group) and FT207 group (control group) (a ratio of 2:1), treated with MMC + VP-16 + ATFU (FT-207), DDP + HCPT + ATFU (FT-207), DDP + VDS + ATFU (FT-207), and ADM + MMC + ATFU (FT-207) regimen, respectively. The same dosage of combine drugs were used in the two groups. The response rates of the study group (213 cases) and the control group (107 cases) were 17.1% and 7.9% in gastric cancer (P > 0.05), 16.7% and 9.4% in colorectal cancer (P > 0.05), 20.0% and 24.6% in esophageal cancer (P > 0.05), 5.0% and 9.0% in liver cancer (P > 0.05), respectively. The major adverse effects were mylosuppression and gastrointestinal reactions which frequency and intensity had no statistical difference in the two groups. ATFU combination chemotherapy is effective and similar to FT207 in the efficiency and adverse effects for treatment of advanced GI cancers.
