In anticipation of the development of clinical chronotherapy and in order to pick clinical test times for doxorubicin and cisplatin trials, two large studies were performed on rats bearing a transplanted plasmacytoma. The circadian timing of each of two anticancer drugs given at precisely equal dose intensities was expected to improve therapeutic benefit over conventionally given (time-unqualified) treatment. In each chronotherapeutic study, maximal benefit and minimal toxic effects were found when cisplatin was administered in the middle to latter part of the daily activity (dark) span, while doxorubicin was administered near the end of the daily resting (light) span for these nocturnally active rodents living on a 12-hour-12-hour or 8-hour-16-hour light-dark schedule. This was true whether doxorubicin or cisplatin was given first and whether there was a lag of only a few hours or a few days between the administration of these two agents.
