Cisplatin. A phase II evaluation in previously untreated patients with soft tissue sarcomas.
A Phase II trial of moderately high-dose cisplatin (120 mg/m2 with mannitol diuresis) was conducted in 26 previously untreated patients with soft tissue sarcomas. One partial response (major response rate, 4%) and two minor responses were seen. Severe nausea and vomiting and transient increases in the serum creatinine level were the most common side effects of treatment. Cisplatin has minimal activity as a single agent in patients with soft tissue sarcoma.
