โฆ Synopsis
Fourteen patients with advanced/recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix received menogaril, 200 mg/m 2 by one hour intravenous infusion at four-week intervals. No objective regressions were observed. Median time to progression was less than two months and median survival was seven months. All patients experienced neutropenia. Platelet toxicity was negligible. Venous irritation and phlebitis occurred at the infusion site in 4307o of patients. Menogaril as administered in this protocol is ineffective in treating previously irradiated advanced/recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix and warrants no further investigation in this disease at the dosage and administration schedule used in this protocol.
