Abstract: A phase II study of methylglyoxal-bis-guanylhydrazone (methyl-GAG) was conducted on 20 previously treated patients with soft-tissue sarcomas. no major responses were seen among 18 adequately treated patients. Toxicity including severe fatigue, muscle pains, and pharyngitis was noted in most patients. Methyl-GAG does not have significant antitumor activity in previously treated patients with soft-tissue sarcomas.
