Twenty-two evaluable patients with advanced endometrial cancer were treated with teniposide 100 mg/m2/week administered as a 30-60-minute infusion. Escalations of 20 mg/m2/week to a maximum dose of 160 mg/m2 were performed in patients without toxicity. Seventeen of the 22 patients had prior chemotherapy. Two patients had a partial response (95% upper confidence bound for response: 25.9%). Toxicity was minimal. Four patients had white blood cell counts of less than 2,000/mm3 but only two with less than 1,000/mm3. Only one patient had a platelet count between 25,000 and 50,000, and no bleeding or septic episodes were noted. Four patients had mild nausea, and eight mild nausea and vomiting. Teniposide displays no major activity in patients with advanced endometrial cancer who have had prior chemotherapy.
