Forty patients with metastatic breast cancer were treated with a combination of continuous 5-day infusion vinblastine and peptichemio. All patients had received prior therapy with 5-fluorouracil, adriamycin, cyclophosphamide and methotrexate. Vinblastine was given at a dose of 1.2 mg/m2/day for 5 days. Following completion of the 5-day infusion vinblastine, peptichemio was given as a rapid I.V. injection at a dose of 60 mg/m2. Ten partial responses (30%) were observed among the 33 evaluable patients with a median time to treatment failure of 6 months. Myelosuppression, predominantly granulocytopenia, was the major toxicity resulting from this combination. The response rate of this combination is not better than that observed with continuous 5-day infusion vinblastine alone.
