The effect of the addition of radiosensitizers to low-dose total-body irradiation was studied. SR2508 (1 g/kg) or misonidazole (0.35 g/kg) was given 30 min prior to single-dose total-body irradiation, delivered at 0.1 Gy/min. Six dogs received either SR2508 or misonidazole and 2 Gy irradiation, and 14 dogs served as controls, receiving no drug and either 2 or 3 Gy of total-body irradiation. All dogs had a decline in their white blood cell and platelet counts and were supported with prophylactic antibiotics and platelet transfusions. High plasma levels of both radiosensitizers were achieved. The degree of cytopenia with 2 Gy total-body irradiation when combined with either radiosensitizer was not significantly greater than that seen with 2 Gy alone, and the neutropenia was significantly less than that seen with 3 Gy alone. The only observed toxicity of the drugs was vomiting, which started shortly after the infusion of SR2508 and before the radiation treatment. A single high-dose infusion of a radiosensitizer combined with total-body irradiation appears to cause a mild increase in bone marrow toxicity but is otherwise well tolerated.
