trimetrexate and Lung Neoplasms

trimetrexate has been researched along with Lung Neoplasms in 16 studies

Trimetrexate: A nonclassical folic acid inhibitor through its inhibition of the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase. It is being tested for efficacy as an antineoplastic agent and as an antiparasitic agent against PNEUMOCYSTIS PNEUMONIA in AIDS patients. Myelosuppression is its dose-limiting toxic effect.

Lung Neoplasms: Tumors or cancer of the LUNG.

"Echinomycin is a potent bifunctional intercalator of double-strand DNA; trimetrexate is a new derivative of methotrexate and is active against methotrexate-resistant tumor cells in vitro."2.69A randomized phase II trial of echinomycin, trimetrexate, and cisplatin plus etoposide in patients with metastatic nonsmall cell lung carcinoma: an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Study (E1587). ( Blum, RH; Bonomi, P; Boucher, H; Chang, AY; Karp, DD; Kim, K; Stewart, JA, 1998)
"Trimetrexate (150 mg/m2) was administered intravenously over 30 minutes every 2 weeks."2.67A randomized phase II trial of amonafide or trimetrexate in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. A trial of the North Central Cancer Treatment Group. ( Ebbert, LP; Foley, JF; Gesme, DH; Hatfield, AK; Jett, JR; Krook, JE; Mailliard, JA; Maksymiuk, AW; Schreffler, DD; Su, JQ, 1993)
" The dosage schedule was single-dose intravenous administration (single treatment), followed by one or two courses of 5-day intravenous administration (5-day treatment) at 3-week intervals."2.67[Phase I study of CI-898. CI-898 Study Group]. ( Ariyoshi, H; Furue, H; Hasegawa, K; Majima, H; Nakao, I; Niitani, H; Ohta, K; Taguchi, T; Tsukagoshi, S; Yasutomi, M, 1991)
"Trimetrexate is a nonclassical antifolate with greater preclinical antitumor activity than methotrexate."1.28Phase II trial of trimetrexate in patients with stage III and IV non-small-cell lung cancer. ( Burke, MT; D'Acquisto, RW; Fanucchi, MP; Gralla, RJ; Heelan, RT; Kris, MG; Marks, LD, 1989)
"Trimetrexate glucuronate was evaluated in 70 nonsmall cell lung cancer patients with incurable disease and/or demonstrated progression following surgery/radiotherapy and no prior cytotoxic chemotherapy."1.27Clinical response to trimetrexate as sole therapy for nonsmall cell lung cancer. ( Maroun, J, 1988)
" The dosage chosen for the Phase 2 study, based only on the hematological dose limiting toxicity, was 10."1.27Trimetrexate and cyclophosphamide for metastatic inoperable nonsmall cell lung cancer. ( Grove, W; Holsti, LR; Maasilta, P; Mattson, K; Tammilehto, L, 1988)
"Trimetrexate was administered intravenously together with 20 mg/m2 cisplatin or 50 mg/m2 etoposide for 5 consecutive days at an initial dose of 4 mg/m2."1.27Trimetrexate combined with cisplatin or etoposide in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer: a pilot study. ( Maroun, JA; Natale, RB; Robert, F, 1988)
"Thrombocytopenia was dose limiting, but highly variable among patients at a given dose level; other toxicity was mild and uncommon."1.27Phase I and clinical pharmacology study of trimetrexate administered weekly for three weeks. ( Cassidy, C; Chou, TC; Fanucchi, MP; Fleisher, M; Lokos, G; Niedzwiecki, D; Vidal, P; Walsh, TD; Williams, L; Young, CW, 1987)
