title: Phase I study of DMP 840 in pediatric patients with refractory solid tumors.
abstract: The bis-naphthalimide DMP 840 has demonstrated high level antitumor activity in a number of preclinical models and has been evaluated in several Phase I studies in adults. We enrolled 10 patients with refractory pediatric solid tumors to this Phase I study of DMP 840 given intravenously by short infusion daily for 5 days. The most frequent and dose-limiting toxicity was myelosuppression. The maximum tolerated dose on this schedule was 8.6 mg/m2 daily for 5 days. One patient had a complete response; there were no measurable tumor responses among the remaining 9 patients.
