Research summary
Irinotecan is an FDA-approved cancer treatment, not a supplement for healthy individuals. The available research focuses exclusively on cancer patients, not healthy human subjects. Clinical trials demonstrate that irinotecan combined with fluorouracil and leucovorin improves progression-free survival, overall survival, and objective response rates in colorectal cancer patients compared to fluorouracil and leucovorin alone. However, the drug carries significant adverse effects including severe diarrhea and neutropenia.
