[Phase I trial of 4'-O-tetrahydropyranyl-doxorubicin (THP)--a multi-institutional cooperative study].

A phase I trial of a new anthracycline derivative, 4'-O-tetrahydropyranyldoxorubicin (THP), was conducted in 54 patients with various advanced solid tumors and malignant lymphomas. Starting dose was 5 mg/m2 i.v. and dose escalations were made by a modified Fibonacci search scheme. There were 40 evaluable courses. The dose-limiting toxic effect was leukopenia which was dose-related and reversible. The maximum tolerated dose for a single i.v. injection was estimated to be 55 mg/m2. The median nadir day for leukopenia was day 12 with recovery occurring 13 days (median) after reaching the nadir. Thrombocytopenia was less commonly observed than leukopenia. Other toxic effects were mild gastrointestinal disturbances, fever and general malaise. Ventricular extrasystole was observed in a case of pancreatic cancer who received 5 mg/m2 of the drug. There were no cases with alopecia, or with hepatic or renal dysfunction. With regard to objective tumor response, CR was observed in 2 cases with NHL, and MR in 2 cases with lung cancer, and 1 case each with breast cancer and NHL. Response occurred at a dose of more than 35 mg/m2. The recommended dose schedule for phase II trial is 35-45 mg/m2 by single i.v. injection at 3-4-week intervals.
