Clinical and pharmacologic evaluation of two dosing schedules of indotecan (LMP400), a novel indenoisoquinoline, in patients with advanced solid tumors
Indenoisoquinolines are non-camptothecin topoisomerase I (TopI) inhibitors that overcome the limitations of camptothecins: chemical instability and camptothecin resistance. Two dosing schedules of the novel in...
