The feasibility of high-dose AMSA followed by autologous bone marrow rescue was studied in seven patients with solid tumors. They received a total of 12 courses of treatment. Total doses ranged from 600 to 1000 mg/m2/course. Major toxic effects were myelosuppression, fever of unknown origin, and stomatitis. One patient with malignant melanoma had stable disease lasting 2 months; the other six had progressive disease.
