Abstract

Aclacinomycin A (ACLA-A) was administered to 22 patients with metastatic measurable bronchogenic squamous-cell carcinoma in a Phase II trial of the drug. Sixteen patients were fully assessable for response and toxicity. The initial dose of ACLA-A was 85 mg/m2 weekly for 4 consecutive weeks; however, due to severe myelosuppression, the weekly dose was reduced to 65 mg/m2. Fifteen patients were previously untreated. Toxicity was primarily hematological. Complete or partial responses were not observed on this treatment schedule. ACLA-A administered on this schedule lacks therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of patients with advanced bronchogenic squamous-cell carcinoma.
