“…Currently, only a short quota of polymeric NPs has been approved by FDA and are clinically used for the treatment of cancer, but many polymeric NPs are being tested in large clinical assays. Of note, paclitaxel encapsulated in a polymeric micelle formulation, Genexol-PM ® , is in clinical trials for several conditions, such as advanced urothelial cancer, metastatic and recurrent breast cancer and gynecological cancer (Kim et al, 2004;Lee et al, 2007;Ribas et al, 2010;Saif et al, 2010;Natale et al, 2014;Zuckerman et al, 2014;Autio et al, 2016;Jain et al, 2016;Von Hoff et al, 2016;Merle et al, 2017). PICN ® , paclitaxelloaded polymeric NPs of polylactide-polyethylene glycol, is being evaluated for metastatic breast cancer (Kim et al, 2004;Saif et al, 2010).…”
