Curator's Comment: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19906760
Glioblastoma: 1.22 mg/m(2) is given orally once daily for 5 consecutive days during each 28-day cycle; epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer: 0.8 mg/m(2)/day is administered orally once daily for 5 consecutive days during each 28-day cycle.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Cellular sensitivity of H460, A2780, IGROV-1 cell lines to gimatecan (10 uM) was investigated after 1 hour of exposure. IC50 values were 0.01 uM, 0.015 ug/ml, 0.017 ug/ml, respectively.
