摘要: AbstractBackground: Temozolomide (TMZ) is an oral alkylating agent used in the treatment of central nervous system neoplasms and metastatic melanoma. Preclinical clinical data suggested that combining TMZ with interferon alpha-2b (IFN-alpha-2b) may result increased anti-tumour efficacy.Methods: This was a phase I, dose-escalation study to define maximum tolerated dose (MTD) dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) cyclical (days 1–7 15–21) combination pegylated IFN-alpha-2b (PEG-IFN-alpha-2b) patients advanced solid tumours.Results: We treated 19 (10 female nine male), median age 58 years (range: 41–79 years). Ten at 100 mg/m2 on days 15–21 plus PEG-IFN-alpha-2b 1·5 mcg/kg/week 28-day cycles which MTD combination. The pharmacokinetic parameters were not altered by TMZ, MTD.Conclusion: 1-7 15-21 when combined weekly subc...
