The efficiency and toxicity of Carboplatin, a derivate of cisplatin in clinical use since 1981, was investigated in combination with VP16 in 11 children with recurrent or refractory tumors. 10 patients received therapy as outpatients without hydration. 160 mg/m2/day of Carboplatin were administered days 1 to 3, or days 1 to 5 as one hour infusion, combined with VP16 100 mg/m2/day, days 1 to 3, or days 1 to 5 as one hour infusion. One patient received Carboplatin, 600 mg/m2, as 24 hrs. continuous infusion in combination with VM26, 150 mg/m2/day as one hour infusion, 8 hours after Carboplatin. 9 of the treated children had measurable disease. 3 of 9 patients achieved a tumor response of more than 50% (partial remission). 5 of 9 children showed tumor response of less than 50% (stable disease). 1 out of 9 patients had progressive disease. 8 of 9 patients reported improvement or disappearance of clinical symptoms after the first course. All patients had severe myelosuppression with different times to recover. The WBC nadir was 14 days after Carboplatin/VP16. The nadir platelet counts occurred 21 days after therapy with fast recovery. Non-hematological side effects were minimal.
