Abstract:
:Twenty-four patients with advanced epidermoid carcinoma of the esophagus were treated with trimetrexate (TMTX), a lipid soluble non-classical antifol. Patients were given TMTX 8 mg/m2 intravenously day 1-5 every 28 days. In nine of these patients the dose was escalated to 12 mg/m2 day 1-5 every 28 days. Three patients had a partial response (95% confidence limit 3-32%) with a median response duration of 14 weeks. No hematologic toxicity was documented. Two patients developed moderate stomatitis and only 3 patients experienced any nausea or vomiting. The median survival of all patients is 12 weeks. It is concluded that a higher dose of TMTX should be studied in patients with esophageal cancer in order to assess the true therapeutic value of the agent at a dose closer to the median tolerated dose. A phase II ECOG study using TMTX 12 mg/m2 intravenously day 1-5 every 21 days is currently being conducted.
