Since pentamidine has become commercially available, there is renewed interest in using it as the initial treatment for Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in AIDS patients. We reviewed the use of pentamidine in 24 patients with PCP to gain information on the prevalence and severity of adverse
Diaziquone (AZQ), a synthetic quinone with demonstrated activity against acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL), primary CNS tumors, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), is virtually devoid of nonhematopoietic toxicity at conventional doses. As a prelude to its inclusion into bone marrow transplant (BMT)
Seven patients with refractory stage III ovarian carcinoma were treated with escalating doses of human recombinant interleukin 2 (rIL-2) administered via the intraperitoneal (IP) route in an attempt to establish a dose and schedule of rIL-2 suitable for prolonged outpatient IP administration. Three
Five patients who had injected intravenous (i.v.) phenmetrazine or methamphetamine developed marked prostration resembling septic shock, disseminated intravascular coagulation, rhabdomyolysis with myoglobinuria, and azotemia. Soon after injection, four noted chills, fever, sweats, nausea, and
Forty-six patients with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were treated with a combination of high-dose cisplatin, etoposide, and mitomycin. Thirty-four patients (74%) had a performance status of 1, and 39 patients (85%) had adenocarcinoma. Of the 42 patients evaluable for response and
A phase II combination chemotherapy protocol combining methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin was designed to evaluate tumor response and survival in patients with advanced/recurrent endometrial carcinoma. Thirty patients with advanced/recurrent endometrial carcinoma were assigned to
Thirty-seven patients with advanced or recurrent adenocarcinoma of the ovary no longer amenable to control with surgery, radiation therapy, or higher prior chemotherapy were treated with cis-platinum, 50 mg/m2 intravenously every 3 weeks. Among the 37 patients, three patients had a clinical complete
OBJECTIVE
The platinum compounds are the most active agents in the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. Phase II trials demonstrated the activity of paclitaxel in patients with disease clinically resistant to platinum-based front-line therapy, and phase III studies confirmed that a combination of
Forty-nine evaluable patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial carcinoma who were no longer controllable with surgery, radiotherapy, and hormonal therapy and who had not received prior chemotherapy were treated with cisplatin 50 mg/m2 intravenously every 3 weeks. Two complete responses (4%)
A 42-year-old man came to our emergency room hyperthermic (oral temperature, 42.4 degrees C), diaphoretic, and delirious. Other findings included labile blood pressure, sinus tachycardia (heart rate, 138/min), tachypnea (respiratory rate 34/min), muscle rigidity, and incontinence. Two days earlier,
Apomorphine, a potent dopamine agonist with mixed D1 and D2 properties, has long been recognized to have antiparkinsonian effect. Its oral administration is limited by both its hepatic first pass metabolism and adverse side effects (nausea, vomiting, azotemia). It is now widely used by subcutaneous
BACKGROUND
A Phase I study of cis-malonato[(4R,5R)-4,5-bis(aminomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane] platinum(II) (SKI 2053R), a new platinum derivative, was performed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), the dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), and the pharmacokinetic profile of SKI 2053R in patients with
Six men with either recurrent (n = 4) or unresectable (n = 2) squamous cell carcinoma of the penis (n = 5) and urethra (n = 1) received chemotherapy with cisplatin intravenously at a dose of 100 mg/m2. This was followed 24 hours later by a continuous intravenous infusion of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) at
In a review of the records of 81 patients with the discharge diagnosis of digitalis toxicity, I found a preponderance of very old patients, many of whom had anorexia, nausea, and prerenal azotemia. Arrhythmias were common (93%) and reflected enhanced automaticity, enhanced AV block, or both. Atrial
A prospective study was carried out to investigate the effectiveness and toxicity of three courses of combination high-dose bolus CDDP and 120-hour continuous infusion 5-FU every three weeks prior to definitive surgery and/or radiation therapy in 35 patients with locally advanced Stage III and IV
