TLDR
In the extended Phase I trial temozolomide only occasionally exhibited the unpredictable myelosuppression seen with mitozolmide, which is easy to use clinically and generally well tolerated.
Abstract
Temozolomide (CCRG 81045: MB 17%) out of 23 patients with melanoma and in one patient with mycosis fungoides (CR lasting 7 months). Two patients with recurrent high grade gliomas have also had partial responses. Temozolomide is easy to use clinically and generally well tolerated. In the extended Phase I trial temozolomide only occasionally exhibited the unpredictable myelosuppression seen with mitozolomide.

Dose Escalation Methods in Phase I Cancer Clinical Trials

TL;DR: Dose escalation methods for phase I trials are reviewed, including the rule-based and model-based dose escalation methods that have been developed to evaluate new anticancer agents and specific methods for drug combinations as well as methods that use a time-to-event endpoint or both toxicity and efficacy as endpoints.

Antitumor Activity and Pharmacokinetics in Mice of 8-Carbamoyl-3-methyl-imidazo[5,1-d]-1,2,3,5-tetrazin-4(3H)-one (CCRG 81045; M & B 39831), a Novel Drug with Potential as an Alternative to Dacarbazine

TL;DR: The 3-methyl analogue, 8-carbamoyl-3-methylimidazo[5,1-d]-1,2,3,5-tetrazin-4(3H)-one (CCRG 81045), was investigated further and found to possess good activity, when administered i.p. or p.o. to mice bearing the L1210 leukemia.

DNA Sequence Selectivity of Guanine-N7 Alkylation by Three Antitumor Chloroethylating Agents

TL;DR: The DNA sequence selectivities of guanine-N7 alkylation produced by three chloroethylating antitumor agents, 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea (cis-2-OH CCNU), 2- chlorineoethyl (methylsulfonyl)methanesulfonate and ethyldiazohydroxide, are examined to suggest that the alkylating intermediates,

Phase I clinical trial of mitozolomide.

TL;DR: In the phase I study reported here, a dose of 115 mg/m2 appeared to be safe, but additional studies have shown that when given orally to an older population, most patients experienced thrombocytopenia less than 50,000 cells/mm3.

Antitumour imidazotetrazines--XVI. Macromolecular alkylation by 3-substituted imidazotetrazinones.

TL;DR: The results suggest that specific base alkylations rather than total macromolecular alkylation may be more important in determining relative cytotoxicity.
