Combination of 5-fluorouracil and cyclophosphamide in L1210 and P388 leukemias with changes in optimum treatments as a function of the age of the L1210 tumor at first treatment.

Abstract：

:The interaction of 5-fluorouracil and cyclophosphamide in the treatment of L1210 and P388 leukemias was studied using response surface methodology. Single dose treatment of each drug was administered simultaneously or with a 24-hr interval between 5-fluorouracil and cyclophosphamide to the advanced tumors or at various times after L1210 inoculation. While at low doses the action of the combination of the two drugs was greater than expected, there was no therapeutic synergism if the drugs were given together (optimum doses cyclophosphamide 366 mg/kg and 364 mg/kg, respectively, in advanced L1210 and P388 leukemias) or in the early tumor when cyclophosphamide was given 24 hours after 5-fluorouracil. In the advanced tumor, using the regimen employing a 24-hr interval between drugs, therapeutic synergism could be demonstrated (optimum doses 5-fluorouracil 130 mg/kg followed by cyclophosphamide 248 mg/kg in advanced L1210 leukemia and 5-fluorouracil 110 mg/kg followed by cyclophosphamide 263 mg/kg in advanced P388 leukemia). The evidence generated suggested that improved therapy could be found in two separate regions of the treatment space, raising the possibility of more than one mechanism of drug interaction. The location of the optimal treatment depended on the tumor burden at the time treatment was initiated. A shift from one region to the other occurred after 4-6 days of tumor growth when the original inoculum was 10(5) i.p. L1210 cells. Another more obvious conclusion that can be drawn is that treatment was less effective as the tumor became more advanced. The notion that different tumor stages may require different ratios of drugs in a clinically useful combination should receive attention.
