Details

A combination therapy of Irinotecan (a topoisomerase 1 inhibitor) and S-1 (a combination of three pharmacological compounds, namely, tegafur, gimeracil, and oteracil potassium) was tested in advanced colorectal and gastric cancer. This dataset contains data from twelve studies investigating this therapy in a Japanese population; it contains the doses investigated, the numbers of patients treated, and the number of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) observed. In general, each study investigated several doses according to some dose-escalation scheme.
