Radiation improves the distribution and uptake of liposomal doxorubicin (caelyx) in human osteosarcoma xenografts.
Liposomal drug delivery appears to improve the antitumor effect and reduce toxicity compared with the free drug. The therapeutic index may be improved further by combining cytotoxic drugs and radiotherapy. Successful therapy requires that the cytotoxic agents reach the tumor cells. Therefore, we studied tumor growth and the microdistribution of liposomal doxorubicin (Caelyx) with and without ad...
متن کاملLiposomal doxorubicin.
Doxorubicin is a potent antineoplastic agent with activity against numerous human cancers. Encapsulation of doxorubicin inside a liposome alters bioavailability, biodistribution and thus its biological activity significantly. The physical properties of the liposome (size, lipid components and lipid dose) play a major role in determining drug retention and pharmacokinetics. The therapeutic benef...
متن کاملPegylated liposomal doxorubicin HCL (PLD; Caelyx/Doxil): experience with long-term maintenance in responding patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer.
BACKGROUND We hypothesized that a response to pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD, Caelyx/Doxil) followed by maintenance is beneficial and safe in recurrent ovarian cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixteen patients have received PLD for more than 1 year for recurrent ovarian (14) or fallopian tube (2) cancer. All had stable disease or better responses to PLD + carboplatin (5) or topotecan (9) do...
متن کاملDirect 99mTc labeling of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Doxil) for pharmacokinetic and non-invasive imaging studies.
Pharmacokinetic and organ distribution studies of liposomal drugs in humans are a challenge. A direct labeling method using (99m)Tc-N,N-bis(2-mercaptoethyl)-N',N'-diethyl-ethylenediamine (BMEDA) complex to label the commercially available pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, Doxil, has been introduced. Biodistributions of (99m)Tc-Doxil in normal rats were performed to evaluate the feasibility of us...
متن کاملPhase II study of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin: inactive in recurrent small-cell lung cancer. A Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group Study.
PURPOSE Although clinical experience with liposomal doxorubicin is still limited in solid tumours, single agent Caelyx (pegylated liposomal doxorubicin) treatment has shown promising results in AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma, metastatic breast and ovarian cancer and anecdotally in other solid tumours. This is the first report of its use in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). The objective of this mul...
