A phase II study of menogaril (7R-O-methylnogarol) in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia: a study of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group.
Fifty-one patients (47 evaluable) with AML, 27 in first relapse and 20 either in second relapse or refractory were treated with menogaril, 100 mg/m2/day as a 90-min infusion daily for 5 days. The complete response (CR) rate was 17% (8/47), and there was one partial response. Seven of eight responders were in first relapse with a 26% response rate among first relapse patients (7/27). The median duration of survival was 3 months for all first relapse patients and 4.3 months for all other patients. Toxicity included grades 3-4 pancytopenia and fever (100% of patients) and grades 3-4 stomatitis and hepatic enzyme elevation (25% of patients). Grades 3-4 cardiac toxicity occurred in three patients (two grade 3 arrhythmias and one heart block). All had previously received anthracyclines. Remission duration was 1.6-48+ months; two patients underwent bone marrow transplantation and continue in CR at 36+ and 48+ months. The nontransplanted patients remained in CR 1.6, 2.0, 3, 7, 14 and 27 months. Activity and toxicity of menogaril in this study were comparable to that of other clinically useful anthracyclines in AML. Further investigation of this agent in AML is warranted.

Phase I clinical and pharmacokinetic study of menogaril (7-con-O-methylnogarol) in previously treated patients with acute leukemia.
Fifteen patients with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia were treated in this phase I study of menogaril (7-con-O-methylnogarol), a nogalamycin anthracycline derivative. Doses ranged from 50 mg/m2/day to 130 mg/m2/day, administered daily for 5 days. Pharmacokinetic studies were performed at each dose level and confirmed the findings of pharmacokinetic data derived from previous studies in patients with solid tumors. All patients experienced grade 4 hematologic toxicity and the dose limiting toxicity was mucositis. Two patients, one with acute myeloid leukemia and one with acute lymphoid leukemia, achieved complete responses. The AML complete response lasted 10 months and the ALL patient died in CR at 2+ months. Both patients were treated at a dose of 100 mg/m2/day for five days. At this dose, a second induction or consolidation course could be given without severe mucositis, and this is the dose recommended for further phase II studies in leukemia using this schedule.
