A Phase 1-2, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetic Profile of 0.1% Uracil Ointment (1UO)in the Prevention of Hand-Foot Syndrome (HFS) in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer Treated With Capecitabine
The purpose of this research study is to see if combining uracil ointment (1UO) with
capecitabine (Xeloda) can prevent Hand-Foot Syndrome. The study will also see what effects
1UO and capecitabine may have in patients with metastatic breast cancer.
capecitabine (Xeloda) can prevent Hand-Foot Syndrome. The study will also see what effects

Capecitabine is used in the treatment of human breast cancer among other human cancers.
Following absorption, capecitabine is converted enzymatically to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The
administration of capecitabine or 5-FU can cause a cutaneous toxicity known as hand-foot
syndrome (HFS) or palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE). HFS is progressive with dose and
duration of exposure to 5-FU or capecitabine. HFS is characterized by progressive redness
and cracking of hands and feet. Currently, there are no approved therapies for HFS.
