NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Two studies of a drug combination used to treat colon cancer have been suspended after researchers discovered that the regimen was causing an unexpectedly high death rate.

Because of the urgency of the situation, researchers with the National Cancer Institute reported their findings early in a letter in this week's edition of the New England Journal of Medicine, published on Thursday. Publication was scheduled for June 21.

The drugs given to patients in the studies are irinotecan, marketed by Pharmacia (PHA: news, msgs, alerts) as Camptosar, and leucovorin combined with chemotherapy drugs.
