Preview- You can notice, in clinical trials for colorectal cancer, irinotecan was not administered to patients with serum bilirubin concentrations >2 mg (milligram)/d. Bilirubin, substance formed when red blood cells are broken down. Bilirubin is part of the bile (i.e., gall), which is made in the liver (i.e., hepar) and is stored in the gallbladder (i.e., vesica biliaris, or vesica fellea). The abnormal buildup of bilirubin causes jaundice (i.e., icterus). Colorectal cancer, cancer that develops in the colon (the longest part of the large intestine (i.e., bowel, or gut) (i.e., intestinum crassum)) and/or the rectum (the last several inches of the large intestine before the anus (i.e., anal orifice)). Clinical, having to do with the examination and treatment of patients. Serum is the clear liquid part of the blood that remains after blood cells and clotting proteins have been removed.
- One can conclude that, l, patients without liverwort metastases who had serum aminotransferase (i.e., transaminases) (transaminase) concentrations >3 times the ULN, or those with hepatic metastases. Transaminase is a type of enzyme that causes the transfer of a chemical substance called an amino group from one molecule to another. Transaminases (i.e., aminotransferase) are involved in many processes in the body, such as making amino acids. Acid is a chemical that gives off hydrogen ions in water (i.e., aromatic water) and forms salts by combining with certain metals. Acids have a sour taste and turn certain dyes red. Some acids made by the body, such as gastric (i.e., gastricus) acid, can help organs work the way they should. An example of an acid is hydrochloric acid. Acidity is measured on a scale (i.e., squama) called the pH scale (i.e., s????rensen scale). On this scale, a value of 7 is neutral, and a pH value of less than 7 to 0 shows increasing acidity. Hepatic, refers to the liver.
- As an example, a multicenter, open-label, phase II study of irinotecan hydrochloride (CPT-11) in patients with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-furnace lining colorectal cancer (protocol M/6475/0006. Protocol is a detailed plan of a scientific or medical experiment, treatment, or procedure. In clinical trials, it states what the study will do, how it will be done, and why it is being done. It explains how many people will be in the study, who is eligible to take part in it, what study drugs or other interventions will be given, what tests will be done and how often, and what information will be collected.
