These data were consistent with our previous observations at this dose, and indicated that the severity of toxicity in these patients was not explained by aberrant pharmacokinetic indices. We conclude that, independent of effects on neutropenia, severe and cumulative platelet toxicity precludes further escalation of thiotepa dose despite the use of GM-CSF.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
