A phase II trial of amonafide in patients with endometrial cancer: a Gynecologic Oncology Group Study.

ABSTRACT

Twenty-nine evaluable patients with endometrial cancer were treated with amonafide 300 mg/m2 for 5 consecutive days every 3 weeks. Two partial responses (8%) were seen. Hematologic toxicity was severe or life-threatening in 13 patients occurring as follows leukopenia in 13 patients (45%); thrombocytopenia in 10 patients (34%); granulocytopenia in 13 patients (45%); and anemia in four patients (14%). In view of the low response rate and high toxicity, this dose schedule of amonafide does not warrant further investigation in endometrial cancer.
