| These potential cancer drug candidates are
currently being investigated in clinical trials for a variety of cancer
types. Our cancer research product
pipeline shows the current development status of these investigational
products.
Pixantrone (BBR 2778)
Pixantrone (Pick-san-troan),
in clinical trials in the U.S. and Europe, is designed to improve
the activity and safety of anthracyclines, a family of widely used
agents for the treatment of blood-related cancers.
OPAXIO™ (paclitaxel poliglumex, CT-2103; formerly known as XYOTAX)
OPAXIO (oh-packs-ee-oh), in clinical trials in the U.S. and Europe, links paclitaxel, the active ingredient in Taxol®, to a polyglutamate polymer. Taxol is the world's most widely used cancer drug.
Brostallicin
Brostallicin (Bräst-al-iss-in)
in clinical trials in the U.S. and Europe as a single
agent and in combination, is a new class of cancer drug
— a synthetic DNA minor groove binding agent with a highly
selective mechanism of action.
CT-2106
CT-2106, is camptothecin
attached to our novel polyglutamate polymer. CT-2106 is the second
such agent to enter clinical trials.
