The Southwest Oncology Group has evaluated methyl-GAG on a weekly schedule among patients with metastatic breast cancer. Among 72 fully and partial evaluable patients, one complete and four partial responses were seen. Toxicity was similar to other trials with this compound except for thrombocytopenia which was more frequent and severe and probably related to tumor infiltrating marrow. In addition, one patient experienced recall dermatitis following methyl-GAG. This toxicity has not been previously reported with this compound. Methyl-GAG has minimal activity at this dose and schedule among heavily pretreated patients with breast cancer.
