Oxaliplatin With Or Without Floxuridine and Leucovorin in Treating Patients With Metastatic Cancer of the Peritoneum

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 1969-12-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of oxaliplatin with or without floxuridine and leucovorin in treating patients who have metastatic cancer of the peritoneum.

• Phase: Phase 1
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
• Collaborator: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
• Treatments: Calcium; Floxuridine; Leucovorin; Levoleucovorin; Oxaliplatin
