“…Based on the diVerent mechanisms of action, in vitro synergism and non-overlapping toxicity proWles, the combined administration of paclitaxel, gemcitabine and LOHP constitutes an engaging regimen with theoretical and clinical supportive background. Since bone marrow recovery from chemotherapy-induced toxic eVects usually occurs within 2 weeks, the biweekly administration schedule has been introduced, and has recently become very popular, as a means to increase dose density and, at the same time, deliver higher cumulative drug doses without excessive toxicity [18]. This phase I study was designed to evaluate the safety and tolerance of the triple combination of paclitaxel, gemcitabine and LOHP administered biweekly in patients with advanced solid tumors.…”
