N2 - Purpose: To determine the maximal-tolerated dose (MTD) of paclitaxel in combination with high-dose cyclophosphamide (CPA) and cisplatin (cDDP) followed by autologous hematopoietic progenitor-cell support (AHPCS). Patients and Methods: Forty-nine patients with poor-prognosis breast cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), or ovarian cancer were treated with escalating doses of paclitaxel infused over 24 hours, followed by CPA (5,625 mg/m2 intravenously over 1 hour in three divided doses) and cDDP (165 mg/m2 intravenously as a continuous infusion over 72 hours) and AHPCS. Pharmacokinetic measurements for each drug were performed. Results: Dose- limiting toxicities were encountered in two patients at 825 mg/m2 of paclitaxel; one patient died of multiorgan failure that involved the lungs, CNS, and kidneys, and the other developed grade 3 respiratory, CNS, and renal toxicity, which resolved. The MTD of this combination was determined to be paclitaxel 775 mg/m2, CPA 5,625 mg/m2, and cDDP 165 mg/m2 followed by AHPCS. Sensory polyneuropathy and mucositis were prominent toxicities, but both were reversible and tolerable. The pharmacokinetics of paclitaxel correlated significantly with the severity of mucositis (P < .001) and peripheral neuropathy (P < .00004). Eighteen of 33 patients (54%) with measurable, heavily pretreated metastatic breast cancer achieved a partial response (PR). Responses were also observed in patients with NHL (four of five patients) and ovarian cancer (two of two). Conclusion: It is possible to escalate the dose of paclitaxel to 775 mg/m2 in combination with 5,625 mg/m2 of CPA, 165 mg/m2 of cDDP, and AHPCS. An encouraging response rate in poor-prognosis patients with breast cancer, NHL, and ovarian cancer warrants further study.
