     ABSTRACT:
                              Based on colon xenograft studies suggesting 
improved therapeutic index for 9-AC
                              prolonged administration, and the 72-hr infusion 
MTD, we began this study of 9-AC
                              at a dose of 6.2 ug/m2/hr x 7 days q 28 days with 
the DMA/PEG formulation.
                              Infusion duration and dose was escalated as 
below. For the CD (colloidal dispersion)
                              formulation dosing began at 14.1 ug/m2/hr. 42 pts 
with adequate organ function were
                              entered: 10 male and 32 female (DMA 33 and CD 9 
pts), 41 prior chemotherapy
                              (med 3 regimens), 10 prior RT, median age 61 
years (range 40-82). Diagnoses
                              included: ovarian 17 pts, colorectal 12, breast 
3, unk primary 2, cholangio 2 and 1
                              each lung, pancreas, renal, cervix, MF, NHL. 131 
cycles were given. In the DMA
                              cohorts no toxicity was seen at 6.2 x 7, 10, 14, 
17 or 21 days or 9.4 x 21 days.
                              Further heme toxicities are shown in a table. 
Non-heme tox included: alopecia gr 1 (9
                              pts), gr 2 (4) [all greater than or equal to 
18.75]; N/V gr 2 (3), gr 3 (3); fatigue gr 1
                              (8), gr 2(2); neuropathy gr 1 (2). PR was seen in 
ovarian (2 pts) and breast ca; SD in
                              6 ovarian, 4 colon, and 2 unk primary. Css for 
total 9-AC in DMA ranged from 1.28
                              ng/ml to 6.48 (n=36, r2=0.88); 6/8 pts showed 
more than 50% depletion of topo-1
                              in PBMCs, including some at 6.2 level; additional 
data to be presented including
                              comparison of DMA vs CD. MTD for DMA is 18.75 
ug/m2/hr (0.4 mg/m2/day)
                              and will likely be 21.1 - 25 for CD formulation. 
Accrual continues for CD at 25 ug x
                              21 days. (C) American Society of Clinical
