title: Phase II trial of piperazinedione in metastatic sarcoma.
abstract: Thirty-five patients with metastatic sarcomas received piperazinedione 9 mg/m2 every 3 weeks. Of 27 evaluable patients, 3 patients had stable disease for at least 6 weeks. The dose-limiting toxicity was myelosuppression. Piperazinedione is inactive in patients with drug-resistant metastatic sarcomas.
