Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 40
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A kit for the administration of at least one dose of an orally administrable fluoropyrimidine prodrug or precursor with reduced cutaneous toxicity, the kit comprising: at least one dose of an orally administrable fluoropyrimidine prodrug or precursor; and at least one dose of a topical composition comprising uracil and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient, wherein each dose of topical composition contains uracil in an amount that is both (i) sufficient, at the site of topical application, to reduce the development of cutaneous side-effects, and (ii) insufficient to produce a circulating uracil concentration capable of causing clinically observable diminution in potency or efficacy of the kit's fluoropyrimidine prodrug or precursor, or metabolite thereof, at a neoplastic tissue desired to be treated.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
A kit for the administration of at least one dose of an orally administrable fluoropyrimidine prodrug or precursor with reduced cutaneous toxicity, the kit comprising: at least one dose of an orally administrable fluoropyrimidine prodrug or precursor; and at least one dose of a topical composition comprising uracil and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient, wherein each dose of topical composition contains uracil in an amount that is both (i) sufficient, at the site of topical application, to reduce the development of cutaneous side-effects, and (ii) insufficient to produce a circulating uracil concentration capable of causing clinically observable diminution in potency or efficacy of the kit's fluoropyrimidine prodrug or precursor, or metabolite thereof, at a neoplastic tissue desired to be treated.
