ns not significant, nd not determined

aAll doses are expressed as amount of irinotecan administered

bTumor regression must be evident for three consecutive measurements to be so designated. Partial: ≤50 % of Day 1 volume; Complete: not palpable

cEndpoint for HT29 was tumor volume of 1,000 mm3 or Day 73; for NCI-H460 was 1,500 mm3 or Day 57; for MCF-7 was 700 mm3 or Day 73; for NCI-N87 was 800 mm3 or Day 84; and for A2780 was 2,000 mm3 or Day 60

dNumber of animals surviving through the end of study without reaching tumor endpoint

eMedian number of days to reach tumor endpoint
