Peter,

On December 4th I posted information from a presentation
given by Chuck Blitzer that morning. He stated that the
current MGI 114 dose was 14.15 mg/m^2, and that it would
likely go up to one more level (approximately 18 mg/m^2)
before they move to phase II. Among the handouts was a
chart listing the history of the dose levels as follows:

MGI 114 - Current Phase I Study

Dose No. of No. of
mg/m^2 Patients Courses
1.0 3 7
1.5 1 2
2.25 1 2
3.38 (nausea/vomiting) 3 7
4.5 (phlebitis) 3 5
6.0 1 1
8.04 (mucositis, fatique) 7 15
10.64 2 6
14.15** 7 9

Total 28 54

**Increased creatinine, metabolic acididosis, & thrombocytopenia
(in renally compromised patients)
5 minute infusion over 5 days every 28 days

My earlier post that you referred to was information that was
taken from a broker that had spoken to the company. The above
information is straight from MGI Pharma. Based on that I would
say that the information on the link from RDB referred to the
earlier 6.0 mg/m^2 course.

David

The reference I posted was very old data. The data
was presented last April. Sorry for the confusion
I generated. As I said, the data was new to me
because I have been using Medline as my search site
and this abstract was not picked up there. I was searching the
NCI site for information and found this old abstract.
It took me 2 hours to figure out where and when it was presented.
