Pharmacokinetics and exposure–effect relationships of capecitabine in elderly patients with breast or colorectal cancer
Purpose The aims of the present study were (1) to investigate the impact of great age on pharmacokinetics of capecitabine and its metabolites and (2) to evaluate the exposure–effect relationship of capecitabine in elderly patients. Methods Data collected from 20 elderly patients (75–92 years old) wi...

Zusammenfassung: | Purpose
The aims of the present study were (1) to investigate the impact of great age on pharmacokinetics of capecitabine and its metabolites and (2) to evaluate the exposure–effect relationship of capecitabine in elderly patients.
Methods
Data collected from 20 elderly patients (75–92 years old) with breast or colorectal cancer who received oral capecitabine were analyzed. In order to study the old age effect on pharmacokinetics, data collected from two phase I studies involving 40 younger adults ( |
