[Clinical evaluation of neocarzinostatin in digestive system cancer. 1. Administration of neocarzinostatin in advanced and recurrent carcinoma of the stomach].

This study was designed to evaluate the most effective administration method of NCS for advanced carcinoma of the stomach, mainly nonresectable and/or recurrent cases which were collected by our cooperative study group. Nine hundred seventy six cases were available for clinical evaluation. Rate of the efficacy of NCS alone and combined with 5-FU was higher (P less than 0.1) in the cases administrated intravenously by drip infusion than in those by one shot injection method, and adverse effects were fewer in the former than in the latter cases. The rate of efficacy of NCS was higher in cases treated with 4,000 mu/day alone intermittently 2-3 times for a week than in those with 2,000 mu/day alone every day. The rate of clinical effect was higher in the cases treated with 4,000 mu of NCS combined with 50 mg of 5-FU intermittently than in those with 2,000 mu of NCS combined with 250 mg of 5-FU every day, especially 20.6% of the former cases given more than 50,000 mu of NCS were interpreted as clinically effective by Karnofsky's criteria of I-A over.

[Clinical evaluation of neocarzinostatin in digestive system cancer. 2. Clinical studies on the administration of neocarzinostatin in advanced and recurrent carcinoma of the pancreas].

The present study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of chemotherapy by NCS for advanced and/or recurrent carcinoma of the pancreas, mainly nonresectable cases in which exploratory laparotomy or construction of biliary fistula were performed. Three hundred fifty seven cases were available for the study. Of the 357 cases, 116 were treated with NCS alone 5-FU. In the former, the efficacy rate was higher in cases with 2,000 mu/body of NCS every day than in those with 4,000 mu/body of NCS intermittently 2-3 times for a week. 19.6% of the cases treated with more than 40,000 mu of NCS alone in total were interpreted as effective clinically by Karnofsky's criteria of I-A over. In the latter, the efficacy rate was higher in cases with 2,000 mu/body of NCS combined with 250 mg of 5-FU every day than in those with 4,000 mu of NCS combined with 500 mg of 5-FU intermittently, 22.5% of the cases given more than 40,000 mu of NCS in total were interpreted as effective clinically by Karnofsky's criteria of I-A over. The major adverse effects of NCS such as anorexia, vomiting and nausea were observed in 20% of total cases respectively, leucopenia in 10% and fever in 15% of them.
