The results from Oasmia Pharmaceuticals first study with paclitaxel micellar in humans are published in the scientific journal ”Advances in Therapy”.

The study (OAS-04-01) was a tolerance and pharmacokinetic study where the dose for Apealea (paclitaxel micellar) was determined. This phase I study was conducted at two clinics in Sweden located in Lund and Umeå between 2004 and 2007. The 34 patients included in the study had different forms of refractory cancers with solid tumours. The detailed pharmacokinetic results together with the tolerance assessments have been summarized in a manuscript that is now being published in the peer-review journal "Advances in Therapy” (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12325-019-00909-6).

–    As Apealea was recently approved within EU, it is of great importance to share its available clinical data to the scientific and clinical community. Publishing our study data in a peer-reviewed journal, as an open access publication, provides a channel to reach this broad audience, says Mikael Asp, CEO
