title: Phase I evaluation of a weekly schedule of anguidine. Southeastern Cancer Study Group Committee on Gastrointestinal Malignancies.
abstract: A phase I evaluation of a weekly schedule of anguidine was undertaken as an alternative to the present continuous daily schedules. The dose ranged from 1.5 to 7.5 mg/m2 given as an infusion over 3 hours. No myelosuppression was noted at any dose level. The toxic effects included nausea and vomiting, hypotension, CNS symptoms (confusion, hallucinations, and psychomotor seizures), chills, fever, and diarrhea. A dose of 5 mg/m2 of anguidine produced acceptable toxicity.
