Fundamental and clinical studies on S6472, a new prolonged acting preparation of cefaclor, were performed and the following results were obtained. Serum level and urinary excretion. 750 mg of S6472, 500 mg of cefaclor (CCL) and 500 mg of cephalexin (CEX) were orally administered in 6 healthy adult volunteers by the cross over method to measure serum level and urinary excretion. The serum level-time curve of S6472 showed 2 peaks at 1 and 6 hours after administration. The peak serum level of S6472 was 4.2 micrograms/ml and 2.9 micrograms/ml, respectively, 1 and 6 hours after administration. The peak serum level of CCL and CEX was 5.8 micrograms/ml and 12.1 micrograms/ml, respectively, 2 hours after administration. The urine level-time curve of S6472 also showed 2 peaks at 0-2 and 4-6 hours after administration and the peak urine level was 1,320 micrograms/ml and 994 micrograms/ml, respectively, 0-2 and 4-6 hours after administration. The peak urine level of CCL was 1,337 micrograms/ml, 0-2 hours after administration and that of CEX was 2,079 micrograms/ml, 2-4 hours. The mean urinary excretion of S6472, CCL and CEX was 56%, 69% and 94% of dose at 12 hours after administration. Clinical evaluation. S6472 was tried in 200 cases of various urinary tract infections. For one group of 85 cases with acute uncomplicated cystitis, clinical effects were evaluated as excellent in 40 cases, moderate in 42 cases and poor in 3 cases, and the overall clinical effectiveness rate was 96.5%. For another group of 68 cases with complicated urinary tract infection, clinical effects were evaluated as excellent in 9 cases, moderate in 27 cases and poor in 32 cases, and the overall clinical effectiveness rate was 52.9%. Side effects. Side effects were observed in 7 cases with diarrhea, epigastralgia, stomatitis, eruption and facial swelling. Administration of S6472 was discontinued in 2 cases, but in 7 cases all symptoms were transient.

The aim of this study was to determine if lonidamine (LND) supplementation to single-agent epirubicin (EPI) could reverse anthracycline resistance in patients with metastatic breast cancer. 45 patients with metastatic breast cancer were treated with EPI 120 mg/m2 by intravenous (i.v.) bolus every 3 weeks. Patients who progressed were given the same chemotherapy regimen on day 4 in combination with oral LND, 150 mg on day 1, 300 mg on day 2 and 450 mg on days 3-5. Among the 40 evaluable patients, 6 complete responses (CR) and 14 partial responses (PR) were achieved with EPI treatment alone for an overall response rate of 50%. The median duration of response was 6.5 months. Among the 25 patients treated with EPI+LND, 5 PR (21% of 24 evaluable patients) were observed with a median duration of response of 7 months. The median survival in patients receiving both treatments was 20 months. The survival for all patients was 18 months. The survival of patients receiving LND was not significantly longer than for the other patients. Myelotoxicity was the most common side-effect followed by alopecia, nausea and vomiting, and stomatitis. LND-related toxic effects were mild-to-moderate epigastralgia and myalgia. Anthracycline-related toxicity was the same in the two treatment groups. This study indicates that LND may circumvent clinical resistance to EPI without altering the pattern or severity of the toxicity of this anthracycline. Continued investigation of the clinical modulation of EPI resistance by LND in breast cancer is warranted, hopefully in patients with known multidrug resistance status.

Twenty-six patients with advanced colorectal cancer were treated with UFT and leucovorin (LV). On day 1, patients received LV 500 mg/m2 in IV infusion, followed by 15 mg/12 h for 13 days. On days 1 to 14, patients took oral UFT twice daily. Three cycles were given every 28 days, unless grade III-IV toxicity appeared. The initial dose of UFT (200 mg/day) was increased until 800 mg/day. Dose limiting toxicities were stomatitis, diarrhea and epigastralgia. The maximum tolerated dose of UFT was 390 +/- 10 mg/m2. Three out of 24 evaluable patients achieved a partial response and 1 a complete response with UFT doses of 260 to 390 mg/m2. These results warrant confirmation in phase II studies.
