Treatment of multiple myeloma with deoxycoformycin.
A comparison of adenosine deaminase activity in intact human plasma cells and lymphocytes in vitro showed that plasma cells had at least as much activity of this enzyme as did T or non-T lymphocytes. This observation led us to examine the effectiveness of deoxycoformycin in the treatment of multiple myeloma. Thirteen patients with advanced refractory myeloma were treated with deoxycoformycin at 5 mg/m2 daily for 3 days every 2 weeks until response or progression. Of the seven evaluable patients who received more than one cycle of therapy, two had a greater than 50% reduction in the level of myeloma protein and two had a demonstrable reduction in soft tissue disease. Toxicity consisted of marked nausea, anorexia lasting several days, and mild transient confusion in some patients. Plasma levels of deoxyadenosine and adenosine peaked on day 4 or 5 with average values of 1.9 and 0.6 microM, respectively. Red cell levels of dATP reached approximately 40% of ATP levels. The viability of plasma cells was shown to be greatly reduced in in vitro incubations with deoxycoformycin and low levels of deoxyadenosine (ID50 of 6 microM).
