title: Phase II clinical evaluation of AZQ in adenocarcinoma of the lung.
abstract: Twenty patients with advanced measurable adenocarcinoma of the lung were treated with AZQ 20 mg/m2 weekly for 4 weeks, followed by a 2-week rest. No complete or partial responses were observed. Stabilization was observed in seven individuals, lasting 6-32+ weeks, with a median of 6 weeks. Toxicity was limited to reversible myelosuppression. We conclude that AZQ administered at this dose and schedule has no significant activity against advanced adenocarcinoma of the lung.
