Phase 1 Study of Paclitaxel Administered Twice Weekly to Children With Refractory Solid Tumors: A Pediatric Oncology Group Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: To perform a phase 1 trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose and the dose-limiting toxicities of paclitaxel in children with refractory or recurrent solid tumors. Paclitaxel was administered twice weekly, increasing from four to six doses every 21 to 28 days. METHODS: Paclitaxel was administered as a 3-hour intravenous infusion twice weekly. The initial dose was fixed at 50 mg/m2/dose twice weekly for 2 weeks (four doses), every 21 days. The number of twice-weekly doses per course was increased to six in the next cohort. In subsequent cohorts, the number of twice-weekly doses per course was fixed at six, every 28 days, and dosage was increased in 25% increments. RESULTS: Sixteen assessable patients were enrolled at three levels. Neutropenia was the dose-limiting toxicity at 65 mg/m2/dose, twice weekly x 6 doses, every 28 days. Nonhematologic toxicities were minor. No antitumor responses were observed. CONCLUSIONS: Protracted twice-weekly dosing of paclitaxel is limited by neutropenia. The maximum tolerated dose of paclitaxel administered twice weekly x 6 doses, every 28 days, was 50 mg/m2/dose.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
