H B Muss, and M Slavik, and B Bundy, and F B Stehman, and W T Creasman

Pala, 5G /M2 i.v. every 3 weeks was given to 32 evaluable patients with ovarian carcinoma (31 previously treated). No complete or partial responses were noted. Ten patients had stable disease for a median progression-free interval of 4.7+ months, while the remainder had progression of disease from the start of therapy. The major toxicity was dermatologic, and five patients had severe skin rash with desquamation or ulceration. There was no substantial hematologic or gastrointestinal toxicity. PALA displays no useful activity in previously-treated patients with ovarian cancer.
