Dear All,

I would ask you about the concentration/time curve in capecitabine study.
Here's an example from M. Mackean et al. "Phase I and Pharmacologic Study of Intermittent Twice-Daily Oral Therapy With Capecitabine in Patients With Advanced and/or Metastatic Cancer" Journal of Clinical Oncology, Vol 16, No 9, 1998: pp 2977-2985

As you can see capecitabine and 5-FU curves have 2 slopes. What is the reason of such curve shapes? fed condition or something else?
In our study we have similar results.

Kind regards,
Mittyri
