Scientific titleA comparative pharmacokinetic study: 5 Fluorouracil (5FU) provided as patient specific individual doses and as standard doses according to a 'dose banding' principle
Study objectivesThe main aim of the project is to evaluate the concept of dose-binding chemotherapy drugs as a means of improving pharmacy efficiency and reducing patients waiting times. This study aims to compare the plasma profiles of the drug 5FU in breast cancer patients receiving dose-banded and the usual, individually prepared, doses as part of their normal FEC chemotherapy regimen.
