Abstract：
:Oral capecitabine is a highly active, well-tolerated and convenient treatment for breast and colorectal cancer. This trial assessed the efficacy and safety of single-agent capecitabine in patients with previously treated ovarian cancer. A total of 29 patients with platinum-pretreated relapsed ovarian cancer were enrolled in this prospective, open-label, single-centre, phase II study. Patients received oral capecitabine 1250 mg m(-2) twice daily on days 1-14 of a 21-day cycle. Tumour response was evaluated using serum CA125. Out of 29 enrolled patients, 28 were evaluable, and a response was observed in eight patients (29%, 95% confidence interval (CI), 13-49%). Median progression-free and overall survivals were 3.7 (95% CI, 2.8-4.6) and 8.0 (95% CI, 4.1-11.8) months, respectively. After 6 months of treatment, 28% (95% CI, 13-48%) of patients remained progression-free and 62% (95% CI, 42-79%) were still alive. The most common clinical adverse events were hand-foot syndrome (HFS), nausea and diarrhoea. Grade 3 HFS occurred in 14% of patients, grade 3 vomiting in 10%. Efficacy and safety of capecitabine compare favourably with other monotherapies in platinum-refractory epithelial ovarian cancer. The convenience and improved safety profile of capecitabine compared with intravenous. regimens make it an ideal agent for administration in the outpatient setting.

临床试验,杂志文章abstract：BACKGROUND:Wnt-signalling has an important role in renal cancer and it is modulated by genistein in other cancers. Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as new regulators of gene expression. Thus, we focused on miRNAs to examine the regulatory mechanism of genistein on the Wnt-signalling pathway in renal cell carci...
