Abstrakt: Sixteen patients with metastatic ovarian cancer who had not previously been treated with anthracyclines were treated with 4' deoxydoxorubicin at a dose of 30 mg/m2 intravenously every 3 weeks. There were no clinical responses in this group of patients. Toxicities were infrequent with neutropenia and thrombocytopenia being dose limiting. Nausea and vomiting occurred in only 4 patients. We conclude that 4' deoxydoxorubicin is an inactive drug in this patient population and does not warrant further investigation in this disease.
