The report of the autopsy of the case reported below revealed a stage IVa thymoma, giant cell myositis of skeletal muscle throught the body including right and left ventricles. Whether the chemotherapy triggered the myositis is unknow. A very similar fatal case of thymoma after the same chemotherapy has been reported Am J Clin Oncol 29:213. The office of this clinical trial decided to discontinue this trial to avoid further risk.
The clinical course of the patient: 58 male patient with stage IVa thymoma received the chemotherapy on 2006.7.11 and 8.2. He received GCSF due to decreased white blood cell count 1000/mm3. He had fever and soar throat on 8.19. He was admitted due to high fever (39C) on 8.23. His serum CK was found to be elevated to 7271 on 8.28; serum myoglobin was 4000ng/ml and urin myoglobin 90000ng/ml on 8.30. He was found dead on 8.31.
(2006.11.2)


A case of suspected rhabdomyolysis with high CK and repiratory failure has reported (2006.8.31). Protocol has been changed to include measurement of serum CK, termination of the protocol when CK is increased, and others (see above URL for detail). The treatment of the patient can be resumed when the protocol change has been approved and the patient is informed of this incidence. The causal relationships between the study drugs and the rhabdomyolysis is unknown. (2006.9.19)
