A preliminary study of cyclophosphamide (NSC-26271), adriamycin (NSC-123127), imidazole carboxamide (NSC-45388), and actinomycin D (NSC-3053) with or without MER-BCG in patients with advanced sarcomas. 1978

Polychemotherapy for soft tissue sarcomas has been reported to produce response rates ranging from 24--60% (1, 2). Immunotherapy has reportedly prolonged survival after surgery for some tumors and enhanced the effectiveness of chemotherapy (3, 4). This report summarizes our preliminary experience with the combination of cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, imidazole carboxamide (DTIC), and actinomycin D (CAIA) with or without methanol extraction residue of BCG (MER) in patients with advanced sarcomas.

D003520 Cyclophosphamide Precursor of an alkylating nitrogen mustard antineoplastic and immunosuppressive agent that must be activated in the LIVER to form the active aldophosphamide. It has been used in the treatment of LYMPHOMA and LEUKEMIA. Its side effect, ALOPECIA, has been used for defleecing sheep. Cyclophosphamide may also cause sterility, birth defects, mutations, and cancer.

D003609 Dactinomycin A compound composed of a two CYCLIC PEPTIDES attached to a phenoxazine that is derived from STREPTOMYCES parvullus. It binds to DNA and inhibits RNA synthesis (transcription), with chain elongation more sensitive than initiation, termination, or release. As a result of impaired mRNA production, protein synthesis also declines after dactinomycin therapy.
