Frequently asked questions about nab-paclitaxel

What is nab-paclitaxel used for in Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer?

Nab-paclitaxel is being studied for the treatment of Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer (LAPC). It is part of an investigational regimen being evaluated in a Phase 3 clinical trial, where it is combined with gemcitabine and administered following radiotherapy. The drug is not yet approved for this indication and remains in clinical development.

What does nab-paclitaxel target?

Nab-paclitaxel targets multiple tubulin proteins, including TUBB4B, TUBB1, TUBA3C, TUBA4A, TUBB3, and TUBA1A. It acts as an inhibitor of these targets, which are components of microtubules, thereby interfering with cell division processes in cancer cells.

Who makes nab-paclitaxel?

Nab-paclitaxel is being developed by RenovoRx, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol RNXT. The company is conducting clinical research to evaluate the drug's efficacy in treating Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer.

What phase is nab-paclitaxel in?

Nab-paclitaxel is currently in Phase 3 clinical development for Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not yet received regulatory approval and is still undergoing clinical trials to assess its safety and effectiveness in patients.

What clinical trials is nab-paclitaxel in?

Nab-paclitaxel is being evaluated in a single Phase 3 clinical trial registered as NCT03257033. This trial, titled 'Intra-arterial Gemcitabine vs. IV Gemcitabine and Nab-Paclitaxel Following Radiotherapy for LAPC,' is actively recruiting participants with Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer in the United States and Belgium, with a target enrollment of 190 patients.
