Abstract

Diamminodichloroplatinum, a new antitumor agent, was evaluated in 3 schedules during phases I and II trials. Fifteen patients with testicular tumors of various histologic types were treated. There were 7 complete remissions and tumor regressions occurred in 13 patients. Major toxicity was renal and gastrointestinal. There was little hematologic toxicity. The drug may have use in combination therapy with more myelosuppressive agents.
