Scientists test new oral combo against tough cancers

NCT ID NCT01534598

Summary

This early-stage trial tested whether two experimental drugs, FdCyd and THU, could be safely given as pills to people with advanced solid tumors that had stopped responding to standard treatments. The main goal was to find the highest dose patients could tolerate without severe side effects. Researchers also wanted to see if this oral combination showed any signs of slowing cancer growth.
