Abstract:
Four patients refractory to doxorubicin (DX) and 9 patients refractory to 4'epidoxorubicin (4'EpiDX) were treated with verapamil (VRP) (120 mg every 6 h for 3 days) plus 4'EpiDX (80 mg/m2 i.v. bolus, together with the 6th VRP administration). Three patients had partial remissions lasting 3, 3.5 and 7 months, respectively. Toxicity grading did not exceed usual levels. The study demonstrates that VRP, when added at conventional doses to 4'EpiDX, can induce objective responses in some patients refractory to anthracyclines.
