title: Phase I evaluation of chlorozotocin (NSC-178248): weekly schedule.
abstract: A phase I trial of chlorozotocin was completed for a weekly times four dose schedule repeated every 8 weeks. Thrombocytopenia was the acute dose limiting toxicity. Nausea and vomiting were moderate to severe and dose related. Two cases of possible drug related irreversible nephrotoxicity were seen. Transient elevations of serum creatinine and mild proteinuria were noted. Also, transient elevations in SGOT were observed. One patient with a carcinoid tumor had a 60% reduction in his 5HIAA level after one course of therapy. The recommended dose for phase II clinical studies of chlorozotocin is 40 mg/m2 IV weekly for four weeks, repeated every 8 weeks.
