Huachansu, a Chinese medicine that comes from dried toad venom from the skin glands of Bufo bufo gargarizans Cantor or B.melanotictus Schneider, has been used in the treatment of various cancers in China. We conducted a pilot study, using a phase I trial design, of Huachansu in patients with advanced cancer. Huachansu was administered intravenously for 14 days followed by 7 days off (1 cycle). Without significant adverse events or progressive disease, treatment continued beyond 2 cycles. The dose of Huachansu (in mL/ m2) was escalated as follows with three patients per cohort: 10 (level 1), 20 (level 2), 40 (level 3), 60 (level 4), and 90 (level 5) mL/m2. Fifteen patients (hepatocellular cancer, N = 11; non-small cell lung cancer, N = 2; pancreatic cancer, N = 2) were enrolled in the trial and no dose limiting toxicities (DLT) were found. Eleven patients had no drug-related toxicity greater than grade I. Six (40%) had stable disease (median duration = 6.0 months; range 3.5 to 11.1 months). One of these patients (with hepatocellular cancer) had 20% regression (duration = 11 months) (dose level 1). Quality of life improved for patients with stable disease. Plasma bufalin concentration reached maximal levels at the end of the 2-hr infusion and was propotional to the amount of drug being administered (0.81-3.38, ng/mL). No DLT was observed with the use of Huachansu at doses up to eight times higher than typically used in China. Six patients had prolonged stable disease or minor tumor shrinkage.
