Idarubicin (4-demethoxydaunorubicin: DMDNR) is an orally active analogue of daunorubicin that has shown promising activity in animal and early clinical studies. We gave idarubicin in a phase II study to patients with advanced breast cancer unresponsive to hormonal manipulation and in some cases to s
