4'-Deoxydoxorubicin was given to 15 patients with drug-resistant pediatric malignant solid tumors with the objectives of determining the maximum tolerated dosage and dose-limiting toxicity. Maximum tolerated dosage was 36 mg/m2 given IV once every 3 weeks. Dose limiting toxicity was myelosuppression, which was severe and prolonged. Therapeutic benefits were not observed for these patients.
