Pharmacokinetics of Na2B12H11SH (BSH) in patients with malignant brain tumours as prerequisite for a phase I clinical trial of boron neutron capture
Författare
Summary, in English
The disposition of Na2B12H11SH (BSH) in patients with malignant glioma has been investigated, in preparation for a Phase I clinical trial of boron neutron capture therapy. BSH was found to possess a linear disposition over the dosage interval investigated (up to 75 mg/kg). A bi-phasic blood pharmacokinetics was observed. Tumour-to-blood ratios showed variations between patients between 0.08 and 5.1. The data allow the definition of amount of BSH and timing of infusion for a Phase I clinical trial protocol.
