Abstract

Nineteen patients with advanced malignancy participated in a phase I trial of high-dose cytarabine (ara-C) and cisplatin in combination. Dose and schedule were based on laboratory data indicating synergy for concurrent use of these drugs. Cisplatin (100 mg/m2) was administered during the 2nd and 3rd hours of a 3-hour ara-C infusion. The ara-C dose was escalated in subsequent patients following a starting dose of 1 g/m2. Two brief responses were noted. The study was terminated prematurely due to protracted (several weeks) nausea, occasional vomiting, and severe lassitude.
