“…However, it is worth noting that in this study mostly patients with primary brain tumors (11/14) were included [90]. Under gemcitabine significant neurotoxicity was observed in some patients, so that this drug does not appear suitable for intrathecal use [93].…”

“…For mafosfamide [89], topotecan [90,91], etoposide [92] and gemcitabine [93] some initial data are available. Etoposide was at best moderately effective (response in 26-45%) [92].…”

“…In a series of pediatric patients under the age of 4 years, 3 ependymoma patients treated with intrathecal liposomal cytarabine had a cytologic response47 . Intrathecal topotecan has been used in high grade gliomas, including glioblastoma and anaplastic gliomas, with 8 of 11 patients responding cytologically after 2 doses in one case series48 . A potentially promising approach in ependymomas is the intrathecal administration of monoclonal antibodies Downloaded by [Temple University Libraries] at 19:59 04 June 2016 targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitors, particularly HER2NEU/ERBB2.…”

“…Für Mafosfamid [2], Topotecan[19,23], Etoposid[13] und Gemcitabin [1] liegen erste Studiendaten vor. Etoposid war allenfalls moderat wirksam (Ansprechen bei 26-45%;[13]); Topotecan führte zu einer Sanierung des Liquors bei 10 von 14 Patienten, so dass eine gewisse Wirksamkeit angenommen werden kann.…”

“…Etoposid war allenfalls moderat wirksam (Ansprechen bei 26-45%;[13]); Topotecan führte zu einer Sanierung des Liquors bei 10 von 14 Patienten, so dass eine gewisse Wirksamkeit angenommen werden kann. Allerdings muss bedacht werden, dass die erste Studie zu diesem Thema hauptsächlich Patienten mit primären Hirntumoren eingeschlossen hat(11/14 Patienten;[19]). Unter Gemcitabin trat bei einigen Patienten signifikante Neurotoxizität auf, so dass dieses Medikament nicht als in den Liquorraum zu applizierendes Chemotherapeutika geeeignet erscheint [1].…”
