The poster, entitled; "Pharmacokinetics, safety and early activity of a nanoparticle micellar formulation of docetaxel in women with metastatic breast cancer: Results of two randomized trials (phase I and II)" will be presented by Dr Markus Joerger, MD, PhD, Cantonal Hospital, St. Gallen, Switzerland at the session Developmental Therapeutics—Molecularly Targeted Agents and Tumor Biology. The phase I study was performed to determine the pharmacokinetics of docetaxel micellar in 30 patients and the phase II study was a randomized active-controlled study where 200 patients were treated. The bioequivalence of docetaxel micellar to docetaxel and the improved safety profile will be presented and discussed in relation to the future development program of the product.
"We are pleased to present and discuss this important research, which highlights results from our pipeline. Our clinical program continues to advance our XR17 technology platform," says Dr. Reinhard Koenig, Acting Chief Medical Officer at Oasmia Pharmaceutical.
ASCO is an organization for clinical oncologists and provides recommendations for clinical practices and publishes the scientific journal Journal of Clinical Oncology among other things.
