Bofumustine, also known as RFCNU was studied as an antitumor agent. Bofumustine participated in phase II trials in patients with digestive tract tumors. It was shown that 30% has remissions among which 13% were greater than 50%. In addition, bofumustine participated in phase II clinical trials, where it showed to be effective in 8% of digestive tumors, in 1 out of 7 pancreatic cancers and in 3 out of 10 hepatic and pulmonary metastases from an undiscovered primary adenocarcinoma. However, further information is not available.
