Initial testing (stage 1) of the topoisomerase II inhibitor pixantrone, by the pediatric preclinical testing program.


ABSTRACT: Pixantrone, a novel aza-anthracenedione with cytotoxic activity, was tested against the PPTP in vitro panel (3.0 nM to 30.0 ?M) and against a limited panel of PPTP Wilms tumors and sarcomas (7.5 mg/kg) administered intravenously using an every 4 day × 3 schedule. In vitro pixantrone showed a median relative IC50 value of 54 nM (range <3 nM to 1.03 ?M). In vivo pixantrone induced significant differences in EFS distribution compared to controls in two of eight solid tumor xenografts at dose levels relevant to human drug exposure. A complete response was observed for one Wilms tumor xenograft.
