Popis: CGP 42446, a third generation bisphosphonate, is two orders of magnitude more potent than Pamidronate in inhibiting 1.25 (OH)2 D3 induced release of calcium from mouse calvaria in vitro. Twenty-three patients with osteolytic bone metastases have been included in this Phase I trial. Patients received: 100 ug (7 pts.), 200 ug (6 pts.), 400 ug (7 pts.), or 800 ug (3 pts.) IV over 15 minutes q month. Patient entry continues and will include patients treated at 1500 and 2000 ug q month. No hematologic or biochemical toxicity has been observed. Side effects were mild (Grade I) and included eye irritation (3 pts.), nausea or fatigue (2 pts.), and flu-like symptoms, chills and vomiting (1 pt. each). Data on pyridinium crosslinks and C- and N- telopeptides will be presented. We conclude that CGP 42446 is a well tolerated new third generation bisphosphonate.
