Twenty-six patients with measurable endometrial cancer refractory to standard therapy received AZQ [1,4-cyclohexadiene-1,4-dicarbamic acid, 2,5-bis(1-aziridinyl)3,6,dioxo,diethyl ester, NSC 182986] 22.5 mg/m2 diluted in 150 ml normal saline intravenously every three weeks. Thirteen patients experienced no toxicity and the dose in those patients was increased to 30 mg/m2 after the first course. The median number of courses given was 2.5 (range 1-9). The leukocyte count fell below 3000/microliter in 12 patients, and below 1000/microliter in two. The platelet count fell below 100,000/microliter in 12 patients, and below 25,000/microliter in one. Cumulative hematologic toxicity was not seen. One clinical complete response and one partial response were observed. Eight patients had stable disease. Median time to disease progression was 2 months. Median survival was 5.9 months. At this dose and schedule AZQ does not appear to have significant activity in recurrent endometrial cancer.
