title: A phase II clinical study of mAMSA in small cell carcinoma of the lung.
abstract: Thirteen patients with small cell carcinoma of the bronchus that had become resistant to conventional chemotherapy were given 4'-(9-acridinylamino)methanesulphon-m-anisidide (mAMSA) at a dose of 90 or 120 mg/m2 at 3-week intervals. Twenty percent of the courses at 90 mg/m2 produced marked myelosuppression. No responses were observed. Median survival from the start of treatment with mAMSA was 5 weeks.
