Background. Hydroxyurea is an S-phase specific drug. Constant exposure of tumor cells with a low Sphase fraction to the agent may result in improved cell kill. Because of its short half-life, a continuous intravenous infusion may result in better tumor exposure than intake by mouth. The goal of this
Eighteen patients with advanced malignancies refractory to other forms of treatment were given dactinomycin (Act D) as continuous intravenous infusions. Their median age was 51 years (range, 36-67); their median performance status was 50 (range, 40-90) on the Karnofsky scale. Act D was administered
Background. In a previous Phase I1 trial, the authors showed that a weekly continuous infusion of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) at a dose of 3.5 g/mz for 48 hours is an active treatment for advanced colorectal cancer. The overall response rate was 38.5%, and the median survival was 12 months. These data wer
A Phase I and feasibility study of combined docetaxel (D) plus paclitaxel (P) was undertaken to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) for each analogue delivered concomitantly on a weekly schedule. ## METHODS. Patients were accrued in 3-6 patient cohorts to P
