Phase II trial of 1,4-dihydroxy-5,8-bis((2-((2-hydroxyethyl)amino)ethyl)amino 9,10-anthracenedione dihydrochloride)(NSC 301739, DHAD) in patients with metastatic malignant melanoma. A Southwest Oncology Group pilot. 1985

S A Taylor, and B T Tranum, and D D Von Hoff, and J J Costanzi

Mitoxantrone, an anthracenedione derivative, was administered by members of the Southwest Oncology Group to thirty patients with metastatic malignant melanoma. The drug was administered as an intravenous infusion over 30 min at a starting dose of 12 mg/m2 and repeated every three weeks. Myelosuppression was the major toxicity. As administered, mitoxantrone is not an effective agent in the treatment of malignant melanoma.

D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.
