Popis: 12 patients with metastatic cancer were treated with the substituted indazole carboxylic acid Lonidamine at oral daily doses of 270 mg/m2. Toxicity, consisting mainly of myalgias, somnolence, hyperesthesia, anorexia and vomiting, generally decreased or disappeared over time despite continuing drug administration at unmodified dosage. Myalgias and hyperesthesias were markedly relieved with prednisone 5 mg twice daily. No laboratory abnormalities were seen. Partial responses were observed in a patient with hypernephroma and in a patient with breast cancer. Disease-oriented phase II studies with this new anticancer agent are warranted.
