Phase II trials of rhizoxin in advanced ovarian, colorectal and renal cancer.

Abstract:

:Rhizoxin is a tubulin-binding anti-neoplastic agent which is active in a range of murine tumour models. The recommended schedule, of intravenous (i.v.) bolus administration at a dose of 2 mg m-2 every 3 weeks, has been assessed in three phase II trials of ovarian, renal and colorectal cancer. In general terms the drug was fairly well tolerated, but the response rate was disappointing: 0/18, colorectal cancer; 0/18, renal cancer; 1 partial response (PR)/17, ovarian cancer.

  • Cyclin A is associated with an unfavourable outcome in patients with non-small-cell lung carcinomas.

    abstract::Specimens of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded non-small-cell lung carcinomas (NSCLCs; n = 187) were analysed immunohistochemically for expression of cyclin A. The analysis was intended to determine whether cyclin A has additional prognostic value for predicting patients' survival and drug response. Of the 187 NSCLCs,...
