Abstract

Piroxantrone demonstrated no activity in 17 eligible patients. Toxicity was acceptable and dose escalations were performed. With only 35% (6/17) of patients experiencing grade 2 or greater granulocytopenia the study might be criticized for utilizing a less than optimal dose of piroxantrone. Based on this trial, piroxantrone is not felt to have significant antitumor activity against advanced non-small cell carcinoma of the lung.
