Summary: | Purpose
To determine the toxicities, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and maximum tolerated dose of bortezomib in patients with renal impairment and to develop dosing guidelines for such a patient population.
Patients and Methods
Sixty-two adult cancer patients received intravenous bortezomib at 0.7–1.5 mg/m

on days 1, 4, 8, and 11 every 3 weeks. Patients were stratified by 24-h creatinine clearance (CrCl) normalized to body surface area (BSA) 1.73 m
2
into five cohorts: normal renal function (≥60 ml/min/1.73 m

); mild dysfunction (40–59 ml/min/1.73 m

); moderate dysfunction (20–39 ml/min/1.73 m
2
); severe dysfunction ( |
