Previous studies in vitro on the influence of extracellular protein binding of Teniposide (VM26) and Etoposide (VP16-213) on subsequent cellular uptake by experimental murine tumor cells [Cancer Res 38:2549 (1978); Drug Metab Rev 8:119 (1978)] suggested that a timed-sequential combination of VM26
Cisplatin and teniposide given by intraperitoneal (IP) route exert a synergistic therapeutic effect against ascitic P388 leukemia in mice. As single agents, they display different dose-limiting toxicities and favourable pharmacokinetic characteristics in IP phase I trials. We administered cisplatin
Thirty-two patients with advanced or recurrent cervical cancer were entered into this study of single-agent teniposide as first-line chemotherapy at a dose of 100 mg/m2 intravenously on Days 1-3 every 3 weeks. Of these patients, 7 (22%) had a partial response to therapy; no patient had a complete
Teniposide, VM-26 (Vumon), was administered in a dose of 60 mg/m2 on days 1 to 5 every third week to 36 patients with histologically confirmed small-cell lung cancer. None had previously received chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The median age was 73 years (range, 52 to 79). Thirty-three patients were
In this phase III, double-random study, we compared CAV-E to CAV-T combination as induction treatment (1st randomization) for SCLC. Subsequently, patients achieving a complete response (CR) were randomized again (2nd randomization) to receive maintenance treatment with alpha-IFN or no treatment.
Twenty-two evaluable patients with advanced endometrial cancer were treated with teniposide 100 mg/m2/week administered as a 30-60-minute infusion. Escalations of 20 mg/m2/week to a maximum dose of 160 mg/m2 were performed in patients without toxicity. Seventeen of the 22 patients had prior
Twenty-three evaluable patients with non-squamous-cell carcinoma of the cervix were treated with teniposide 100 mg/m2 per week administered as a 30-60 min infusion. Escalations of 20 mg/m2 per week to a maximum dose of 160 mg/m2 were performed in patients without toxicity. Thirteen of the 23
OBJECTIVE
We conducted a randomized trial to investigate the value of the addition of cisplatin to teniposide (VM26) and to investigate the schedule dependence of the topoisomerase II inhibitor VM26, in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.
METHODS
Two hundred twenty-five NSCLC
30 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer were treated with cisplatin 80 mg/m2, day 1, and teniposide 100 or 120 mg/m2, days 1, 3 and 5, every 3 weeks. Myelotoxicity, nausea and vomiting and alopecia were the main side-effects. 8 patients of 26 evaluable had partial responses (31%): 6 had
A phase I study of teniposide administered orally for 5 consecutive days was performed. The first dose was 60 mg/m2/d, with increments of 25 mg/m2/d. Nineteen patients entered the study and received a total of 77 courses with a median of two (range, 1 to 12). Dose-limiting toxicity occurred at 160
A total of 45 patients with advanced non-small-cell lung carcinoma were treated with a combination of cisplatin, teniposide, and mitomycin C. Most subjects exhibited good prognostic factors (performance status, 0-1; minimal weight loss; locoregional disease). Toxicity consisted mainly of
Antitumour activity of cytotoxic agents, evaluated in patients with AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), is about 30-80%. However, responses are mostly partial and short. Experience with etoposide is similar. Teniposide has a longer elimination half-life and superior antitumour activity compared with
In a prospective randomized study comprising 66 women treated for gynecologic malignancies with cisplatin-containing chemotherapy, the new 5-hydroxytryptamine3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonist tropisetron (Navoban, Sandoz Pharma Ltd.) was compared with a metoclopramide cocktail for the prevention of
This report describes an unexpected adverse effect in three children receiving teniposide at 3-5 times the conventional dosage (i.e. 200 mg/m2) plus cytarabine as part of continuation therapy for acute lymphocytic leukemia. Pharmacokinetic studies in each patient had demonstrated high teniposide
We have treated sixty-two patients (21 with limited disease, 41 with extensive disease), on an outpatient-basis schedule of six drugs administered weekly for twelve weeks. Cyclophosphamide, 400 mg/m2, adriamycin, 20 mg/m2 and vincristine, 2 mg, full dose, were administered during weeks 1, 5 and 9;
