The incidence of hyponatremia in 34 patients following administration of high-dose L-phenylalanine mustard (L-PAM) and dianhydrogalactitol (DAG) was determined. Two consecutive daily levels of 133 mEq/l or less were observed in 12 patients. These episodes coincided with the advent of diarrhea about 10-12 days after drug administration. The hyponatremia was not due to the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion.

However, the patient's response was similar to that observed in nude mice; recurrences of tumors developed after complete clinical remission.
