7.5mg/kg iv (cycle 3 only) Drug: Oxaliplatin 130mg/m2 iv (cycles 1, 2 and 3) Drug: capecitabine [Xeloda] 1000mg/m2 po bid (cycles 1, 2 and 3) |
- Area Under The Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Zero To Infinity (AUC0-Inf) of 5'-Deoxy-5-fluorouridine 5'-(DFUR) [ Time Frame: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours post the dose. ]AUC0-infinity represents the area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte (5'-DFUR) in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity. The analyte 5'-DFUR, the direct precursor of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), is considered to be the most important metabolite of capecitabine in plasma. The unit of measure was nanograms per millilitre per hour (ng/mL * hr).
- AUC0-inf for Free Platinum [ Time Frame: Predose , 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours from the beginning of the 2 hour oxaliplatin infusion on Days 2 to 5 of Cycle 1, and Days 1 to 4 for Cycle 2 and 3. ]AUC0-infinity represents the area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte (free platinum) in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity. AUC0-inf for free platinum was calculated for each participant from the concentration-data obtained on Days 2 to 5 of Cycle 1, and Days 1 to 4 for Cycle 2 and 3. Free platinum is not bound to plasma proteins and is considered to be the most clinically significant measure of pharmacological and toxicological activity.
- AUC (0-infinity) of Capecitabine and Its Metabolites (5'-DFCR, 5-FU, and FBAL) [ Time Frame: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours post the dose ]AUC0-infinity represents the area under the concentration-time curve of the analytes (5'-DFCR, 5-FU, and FBAL) in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity. After oral administration, capecitabine is first metabolized in the liver to 5'-deoxy-5-fluorocytidine (5'-DFCR), which is then converted to 5'-DFUR, and then catalytically activated to 5-FU.
- AUC0-last of Capecitabine and Its Metabolites (5'-DFUR, 5'-DFCR, 5 FU, and FBAL) [ Time Frame: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours post the dose ]Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the time of the last measurable plasma concentration time point of capecitabine and its metabolites (5'-DFUR, 5'-DFCR, 5 FU, and FBAL).
- Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Capecitabine and Its Metabolites (5'-DFUR, 5'-DFCR, 5 FU, and FBAL) [ Time Frame: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours post the dose ]Cmax is defined as maximum observed analyte concentration of capecitabine and its metabolites (5'-DFUR, 5'-DFCR, 5 FU, and FBAL)
- Elimination Half-life Period (t1/2 Beta) of Capecitabine and Its Metabolites (5'-DFUR , 5'-DFCR, 5 FU, and FBAL) [ Time Frame: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours post the dose ]t1/2 Beta is the time measured for the plasma concentration to decrease by 1 half to its original concentration of capecitabine and its metabolites (5'-DFUR , 5'-DFCR, 5 FU, and FBAL)
- AUC0-infinity for Total Platinum [ Time Frame: Pre-dose, and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours from the beginning of the two hour oxaliplatin infusion on Days 2 to 5 of Cycle 1, and Days 1 to 4 for Cycle 2 and 3 ]AUC0-infinity represents the area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte (total platinum) in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity.
- AUC0-last of Total And Free Platinum [ Time Frame: pre-dose, and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours from the beginning of the two hour oxaliplatin infusion on Days 2 to 5 of Cycle 1, and Days 1 to 4 for Cycle 2 and 3. ]Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the time of the last measurable plasma concentration time point of Total And Free Platinum.
- Cmax of Total And Free Platinum [ Time Frame: Pre-dose, and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours from the beginning of the two hour oxaliplatin infusion on Days 2 to 5 of Cycle 1, and Days 1 to 4 for Cycle 2 and 3. ]Cmax is defined as maximum observed analyte concentration of Total And Free Platinum.
- T1/2 Beta of Total And Free Platinum [ Time Frame: Pre-dose, and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours from the beginning of the two hour oxaliplatin infusion on Days 2 to 5 of Cycle 1, and Days 1 to 4 for Cycle 2 and 3 ]T1/2 beta is the time measured for the plasma concentration to decrease by 1 half to its original concentration of total and free platinum.
- Volume of Distribution at Steady State (VSS) of Total And Free Platinum [ Time Frame: Pre-dose, and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours ]VSS is defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired blood concentration of a drug. Steady state volume of distribution (Vss) is the apparent volume of distribution at steady-state.
- Clearance of Total And Free Platinum [ Time Frame: Pre-dose, and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours from the beginning of the two hour oxaliplatin infusion on Days 2 to 5 of Cycle 1, and Days 1 to 4 for Cycle 2 and 3 ]CL is a calculation of the rate at which a drug is removed from the body via renal, hepatic and other clearance pathways, expressed as volume (milliliters) per unit of time (hour).
- Number Of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Approximately 3 Years (up to 28 days after the last intake of study medication) ]An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product. This includes any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. Pre-existing conditions which worsened during the study were also to be reported as AEs.
- Marked Laboratory Abnormalities [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days after last chemotherapy administration ]Number of participants with marked laboratory abnormalities (hematology, coagulation, liver function, renal function, protein, electrolytes, miscellaneous).
