Abstract:
:There is no known effective salvage chemotherapy for patients with refractory or relapsed urothelial tumors after methotrexate/cisplatin-based regimen. We report the results of a phase II trial with the FIFO regimen that includes from day 1 to 5: fluorouracil 350 mg/m2, folinic acid 20 mg/m2, and ifosfamide 1000 mg/m2, Q4W. Fifteen patients with metastatic measurable urothelial cancer were enrolled in this trial. Previous therapy included M-VAC regimen in 11 patients, CMV regimen in 3 patients, and both regimens in 1 patient. Thirty-one courses were delivered. Toxicity was moderate, including encephalopathy grade 2 in 2 patients and hematological toxicity grade 3 in 2 others. However, an early death occurred on day 1 in a patient who progressed rapidly and died from hepatic insufficiency after initial encephalopathy. No objective response was seen. Twelve patients progressed during FIFO therapy and 3 patients experienced a stable disease. Despite almost encouraging results of fluorouracil and ifosfamide in the literature, their combination according to our schedule is not active in urothelial cancer.
