irinotecan (180 mg/m 2 IV over 90 minutes) concurrently with folinic acid (400 mg/m 2 [or 2 x 250 mg/m 2] IV over 120 minutes) followed by fluorouracil (400–500 mg/m 2 IV bolus) then fluorouracil (2400–3000 mg/m 2 intravenous infusion over 46 hours). This cycle is typically repeated every two weeks.
