One partial response and 5 minor responses were observed for a total response rate of 38%. The median time to progression was 138 days. Grade 3-4 toxicity included fat
Seventy-four previously treated patients with multiple myeloma were treated with Amsacrine (m-AMSA) 120 mg/m2 every 3 weeks. A good response was observed in two patients (3%), and improvement was seen in three patients (4%). Severe toxicity was observed in 33% of patients who received three or more
