Stabilized Polymer Micelles for the Development of IT-147, an Epothilone D Drug-Loaded Formulation

Table 4

Pilot toxicokinetic dose range-finding study for IT-147 formulation. IT-147 was administered at 20, 30, and 40 mg/kg epothilone D equivalent compared to free drug at 20 mg/kg. Limited pharmacokinetic sampling was used to determine , AUC, clearance, and half-life data for each animal up to 6 hours after test article administration.
