Tóm tắt

Fifteen patients with Stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer gave informed consent to receive three or more 96-hour infusions of ATP at a dose of 50 mcg/kg/min or higher to determine whether ATP has antineoplastic activity against this tumor type and to better define the spectrum of toxicity for ATP given as a single agent. There were no objective complete or partial responses observed. The median survival of the overall group was 187 days and the median time to tumor progression was 113 days. The major toxic side effects were chest pain and dyspnea, leading to the cessation of treatment in 5 patients. We conclude that ATP at this dose and schedule of administration is an inactive agent in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
