Abstract

One hundred and eight patients with non-small cell lung cancer were treated in a Phase II trial with MGBG at a dose of 600 mg/m2 i.v. weekly. Partial responses were noted in 3/43 patients with adenocarcinoma and 1/40 with squamous cell carcinoma. No responses were noted in 24 patients with large cell carcinoma. Overall, the drug was reasonably well-tolerated. At this dosage and schedule, MGBG has no substantial antitumor activity for patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
