| E.2 Objective of the trial |
| E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
| To determine whether pharmacokinetically-guided dose adjustment of 5-FU provides a stable intrapatient dose level of 20-30 mg.h /l. The primary analysis will be the comparison of the proportion of patients with AUC within 20 to 30 mg.h/L after the first 5-FU application versus the fourth application. |
| Das Primärziel der C-II-009 Studie ist, mittels Anwendung eines vordefinierten Dosierungsalgorithmus, die 5-FU Konzentration innerhalb der in der Literatur beschriebenen optimalen Area-under-the-curve (AUC) von 20-30 mg*h/l zu halten. |
|
| E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
| To determine whether pharmacokinetically-guided dose adjustment of 5-FU is able to reduce treatment-related toxicities. |
| Das sekundäre Ziel dieser Studie ist, die Häufigkeit von behandlungsbezogenen Toxizitäten zu reduzieren. |
