β¦ Synopsis
BACKGROUND.
Both paclitaxel and mitoxantrone demonstrate significant antineoplastic activity in breast cancer patients. Colony stimulating factor support allows significant dose escalation of each of these drugs when administered as a single agent.
METHODS.
We performed a Phase I study employing escalating doses of paclitaxel and mitoxantrone with granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) support. Initially the paclitaxel dose was fixed at 175 mg/m2 and an attempt was made to escalate mitoxantrone from the starting dose of 14 mglm'. Subsequently, the dose of mitoxantrone was fixed at 14 mg/m2 and the dose of paclitaxel was increased. Treatments were given every three weeks.
