VP-16-213 has been used in 5-day courses together with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin (Adriamycin), vincristine, and prednisone for treatment of 74 consecutive patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Ninety-one percent of patients with favourable histology and 69% with unfavorable histology achieved complete or partial remissions (overall response rate of 76%). The frequency of complete remission was disappointingly low (22%), possibly due to reduction of doses of the other myelosuppressive agents in the present combination. Further trials with VP-16-213 in other combination chemotherapy are required.
