Abstract | BACKGROUND: PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eighteen patients with a median age of 57 years (range, 27-78) were treated with oral trofosfamide 300 mg/d for 1 week followed by 150 mg/d given continuously to analyze the efficacy and toxicity of continuous low-dose oral trofosfamide. All had received at least one anthracycline-based chemotherapeutic regimen prior to trofosfamide. RESULTS: Nine patients (50%) achieved stable disease lasting for a median of 5.5+ months (range, 1-9+). The median time to progression was 10+ weeks (range, 4-37+) and the median survival 7+ months (range, 2-13+). Toxicity was mild, grade III degree toxicity was seen in 5 patients (28%): 3/2 patients with anemia/ neutropenia and 2 patients with fatigue syndrome. CONCLUSION:
