Preclinical and Phase I Studies of Malonatoplatinum

Abstract
After a preclinical toxicologic study in baboons, we are conducting a phase I trial of malonatoplatinum, starting with 3 mg/kg and now reaching 16 mg/kg. Toxicity, mainly hematologic, was mild and our study was mainly limited by poor solubility. Regressions, which have been rare in the advanced-tumor patients, have been observed in three patients considered as clinically resistant to cisdichlorodiammino- platinum (DDP). Malonatoplatinum pharmacokinetics appeared similar to those of DDP as far as total platinum is concerned.
