abstract...
Ten of 23 patients with advanced measureable adenocarcinoma of
the pancreas achieved an objective response after treatment
with a regimen consisting of streptozotocin, mitomycin-C and
5-fluorouracil (SMF). The median duration of response is in
excess of 7 months and responding patients have lived
significantly longer than patients with progressive disease
(7.5 + months vs. 3 months). The SMF regimen was adequately
tolerated. Principal toxicities included myelosuppression,
which was generally mild, nausea and vomiting. There was
reversible nephrotoxicity in the form of proteinuria in 30% of
patients and persistent axotemia in 9% of patients.

abstract...
One hundred ninety-six patients with advanced pancreatic
cancer were randomized to receive one of two combination
chemotherapy programs: FAM (5-fluorouracil, Adriamycin
[doxorubicin], mitomycin) or FSM (5-fluorouracil,
streptozotocin, mitomycin). Patient characteristics were
comparable in both groups. Overall response rates for those
with measurable disease (14% on FAM, 4% on FSM) were not
significantly different (P = 0.07). There was no significant
difference in overall survival between patients treated with
FAM and FSM (median survivals of 26 and 18 weeks,
respectively). Survival benefits of FAM were significant only
for patients with measurable disease. Toxicity of both
regimens was acceptable and comparable, aside from greater
renal toxicity and more nausea and vomiting with FSM. The
results failed to confirm the 35% to 40% response rates
previously reported for FAM and FSM in advanced pancreatic
cancer.
