title: Phase II trial of pyrazoloacridine in recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer: a Gynecologic Oncology Group study.
abstract: The Gynecologic Oncology Group performed a Phase II study to determine the response rate of pyrazoloacridine (PZA) in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. PZA was administered at a dose of 750 mg/m2 intravenously over 3 hours every 3 weeks. Among 24 evaluable patients, there was 1 (4.2%) complete and 1 (4.2%) partial response. The major toxicities were hematologic. With the dose and schedule used, PZA had only modest activity in this population.
