Abstract

A phase I trial of docetaxel was performed to determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), the dose-limiting toxicities, and the incidence and severity of other toxicities in children with refractory solid tumors. Forty-four children received 103 courses of docetaxel administered as a 1-hour intravenous infusion every 21 days. Doses ranged from 55 to 150 mg/m2, MTD was defined in heavily pretreated and less heavily pretreated (< or = 2 prior chemotherapy regimens, no prior bone marrow transplantation [BMT], and no radiation to the spine, skull, ribs, or pelvic bones) patients. Dose-related neutropenia was the primary dose-limiting toxicity. The MTD in the heavily pretreated patient group was 65 mg/m2, but the less heavily pretreated patients tolerated a significantly higher dose of docetaxel (maximum-tolerated dose, 125 mg/m2). Neutropenia and constitutional symptoms consisting of malaise, myalgias, and anorexia were the dose-limiting toxicities at 150 mg/m2 in the less heavily pretreated patients. Thrombocytopenia was not prominent, even in patients who experienced dose-limiting neutropenia. Common nonhematologic toxicities of docetaxel included skin rashes, mucositis, and mild elevations of serum transaminases. Neuropathy was ...Continue Reading
