Description: Piroxantrone, also known as CI942; PD111815, is a n anthrapyrazole antineoplastic antibiotic. Piroxantrone intercalates into DNA and interacts with topoisomerase II, thereby inhibiting DNA replication and repair and RNA and protein synthesis. Although less cardiotoxic than doxorubicin, this agent exhibits a narrow spectrum of antineoplastic activity.

More Info: Phase II study of Piroantrone reported in 1997: Piroxantrone was administered at a starting dose of 160 mg m2 given as a 1-h infusion every 3 weeks to 19 patients with histologically confirmed advanced, persistent, or recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. All patients were required to have measurable disease and no prior chemotherapy. Eighteen women were evaluable for toxicity and response. Toxicity was modest and consisted primarily of myelosuppression with six (33%) patients experiencing grade 3 or 4 leukopenia. There were no complete (CR) or partial responses (PR) among the 18 evaluable patients. Six (33%) patients had stable disease while on treatment and 12 (67%) patients experienced progressive disease. Piroxantrone appears to have no beneficial effect in advanced or recurrent squamous cell cancer of the cervix at this dose and schedule. (source: Am J Clin Oncol. 1997 Feb;20(1):84-5.). Phase II study of Piroantrone reported in 1996: A phase II trial of the new anthrapyrazole piroxantrone was carried out by the Southwest Oncology Group in patients with advanced metastatic or recurrent endometrial cancer. A two-stage statistical design targeted accrual of 20 eligible patients. The starting dose of piroxantrone was 150 mg/m2 in patients without prior radiation therapy (RT) and 120 mg/m2 in patients with prior RT. There were 15 eligible patients, six of whom had received prior hormonal therapy while nine patients had not received prior hormonal therapy. Eight patients had received prior RT while seven patients had not received any prior RT. One to seven cycles of piroxantrone were administered. Dose escalation was feasible in four patients. No grade 5 toxicity was experienced by any patients. Most of the grade 4 (granulocytopenia in one) and grade 3 (leukopenia in three, granulocytopenia in three, anemia in two and thrombocytopenia in one) toxicity was related to myelosuppression. Grade 3 non-hematologic toxicities were nausea, fatigue and SGOT elevation. There was one partial response for a response rate of 7% (95% CI 0.2-32%) and median survival was 11 months (95% CI 3-13 months). The study was prematurely terminated due to lack of patient accrual.
