In this prospective randomized study of initial chemotherapy for advanced measurable metastatic large bowel carcinoma, the response rate was 6/32 (19%) for FU + HU and 5/32 (16%) for MOF-Strep; the estimated median survival is 43 weeks for both treatments. Patients who received MOF-Strep experienced substantially greater vomiting and hematologic toxicity than patients who received FU + HU (p less than 0.001).
