trimetrexate and Neoplasm Metastasis

trimetrexate has been researched along with Neoplasm Metastasis in 9 studies

Trimetrexate: A nonclassical folic acid inhibitor through its inhibition of the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase. It is being tested for efficacy as an antineoplastic agent and as an antiparasitic agent against PNEUMOCYSTIS PNEUMONIA in AIDS patients. Myelosuppression is its dose-limiting toxic effect.

Neoplasm Metastasis: The transfer of a neoplasm from one organ or part of the body to another remote from the primary site.

"The purpose of this report is to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity (Tx) of a double modulation of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) by trimetrexate (TMTX) and leucovorin (LV) in patients with advanced recurrent (inoperable) or metastatic colorectal cancer (ACC)."5.11Double modulation of 5-fluorouracil by trimetrexate and leucovorin in patients with advanced colorectal carcinoma.

"Trimetrexate (TMTX) is a second generation antifol with predominantly nonrenal elimination and antitumor activity superior to that of methotrexate in preclinical models."2.67Pharmacokinetic study of trimetrexate in combination with cisplatin. ( Comis, RL; Hudes, GR; LaCreta, F; Litwin, S; O'Dwyer, PJ; Tinsley, P; Walczak, J, 1991)
"Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death and it is clear that patients with metastatic disease have better quality of life and survival when given treatment."2.41New therapies, new directions: advances in the systemic treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. ( Holen, KD; Saltz, LB, 2001)
" The dosage chosen for the Phase 2 study, based only on the hematological dose limiting toxicity, was 10."1.27Trimetrexate and cyclophosphamide for metastatic inoperable nonsmall cell lung cancer. ( Grove, W; Holsti, LR; Maasilta, P; Mattson, K; Tammilehto, L, 1988)
" Dosage adjustment may have to be considered for patients who have renal dysfunction."1.27Clinical pharmacology of trimetrexate. ( Covington, WP; Ho, DH; Krakoff, IH; Legha, SS; Newman, RA, 1987)
