β¦ Synopsis
Twenty-nine evaluable patients with anthracycline-resistant metastatic bone or soft tissue sarcomas were treated with chlorozotocin, 150 mg/m2 every 6 weeks. Four patients (14%) achieved partial responses. The most severe toxicity was usually thrombocytopenia (which occurred in 31% of patients). Chlorozotocin has only minimal activity in drug-resistant metastatic sarcomas.
