For a brighter future: new Xeloda combinations Hans-Joachim Schmoll Martin Luther UniversitätHalle, Germany
Xeloda: rational partner for novel biological agents in colorectal cancer (CRC) • Treatment regimens are becoming increasingly complex • including up to three cytotoxic agents and one or more biological agents • Simplified administration of fluoropyrimidines will be important • Xeloda is about to replace i.v. 5-FU/LV as backbone of chemotherapy • at least as effective and safe as i.v. 5-FU/LV • convenient oral agent • simplifies infused fluoropyrimidine-based combination treatment • Preclinical data have shown synergy with Avastin and EGFR inhibitors

Xeloda: refining the next generation of treatment with biologicals • Strong preclinical rationale for combining Xeloda with EGF and VEGF inhibitors • Oral Xeloda simplifies complex combinations and improves convenience for the patient • Emerging data with Avastin support high efficacy and good tolerability of Xeloda-based combinations • In conclusion, Xeloda-based regimens are an excellent basis for combination with new biologicals
