PurposeThe majority of cytotoxic drugs for adults are dosed based on body surface area (BSA), aiming to reduce interpatient variability in drug exposure. We prospectively studied the usefulness of BSA-based dosing of cisplatin in patients at extremes of BSA values.Patients and MethodsPatients were randomly assigned to receive a fixed dose of cisplatin in course 1, and a BSA-adjusted dose in course 2, or vice versa. The fixed dose was based on the average BSA for males and females, while extremes were set at BSA values exceeding the average 1 standard deviation. Subsequently, we retrospectively analyzed data from a normal population.ResultsIn 25 patients assessable for both courses, the use of a fixed dose of cisplatin resulted in reduced exposure to unbound platinum in patients at the upper extremes of BSA (P =.003) and higher exposures in patients at the lower extremes (P =.009), as compared with exposures following the BSA-adjusted dose. Although clearance was related to BSA (R-2 = 0.44; P
