Ropidoxuridine in Treating Patients With Advanced Gastrointestinal Cancer Undergoing Radiation Therapy (NCT02381561)
Phase I and Pharmacology Study of Oral 5-Iodo-2-Pyrimidinone-2'- Deoxyribose (IPdR) as a Prodrug for IUdR-Mediated Tumor Radiosensitization in Gastrointestinal Cancers
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ropidoxuridine in treating patients with gastrointestinal cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment undergoing radiation therapy. Ropidoxuridine may help radiation therapy work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the radiation therapy.
