✦ Synopsis

A low-dose maintenance schedule of Adriamycin was evaluated in six children whose metastatic solid tumors regressed following toxic induction therapy with Adriamycin. Three of these children are now disease-free more than one year following discontinuation of therapy. Adriamycin can be given on a low-dose maintenance schedule free from alopecia, fever, stomatitis, myelosuppression and recognizable cardiomyopathy. Further studies of similar schedules are warranted.
