AbstractA total of 23 patients with metastatic sarcomas were treated with continuous oral trofosfamide, an alkylating agent structurally related to cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide. In all, 12 of the patients were chemotherapynaive. Doses were escalated every 3rd week until the development of leukopenia of WHO grade 2. The treatment was well tolerated and produced little subjective toxicity. Leukopenia was the dose-limiting toxicity. The daily dose that produced grade 2 leukopenia was 200250mg in 65% of the patients. Three patients responded, all of whom had been treated with trofosfamide as first-line treatment.
