β¦ Synopsis
Patient with advanced adenocarcinoma of the pancreas and no prior chemotherapy were treated on a Phase II trial of mitoxantrone. Doses were adjusted for hepatic dysfunction as defined by bilirubin. Twenty-four patients with a bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 mg% received mitoxantrone 12 mg/m2 i.v. repeated every three weeks. Myelosuppression in the form of leukopenia was the major toxicity. There were no responses in twenty-four evaluable patients.
