A late phase II clinical trial of RP56976 (docetaxel), derived from Taxus baccata was performed to evaluate anti-tumour activity, time to progression and clinical toxicity in patients with advanced or recurrent breast cancer. The patients, between 15 and 80 years old with performance status (PS) of
Taxol is a plant product derived from the western yew, Taxus brevifolia. We have conducted a phase I clinical study of Taxol used intravenously daily for 5 days at 3-week intervals. The starting dose was 5 mg/m2 daily, and the highest dose used was 40 mg/m2 daily for 5 days. The daily dosage of
Taxol is a novel taxane derivative obtained from the bark of the Pacific yew, Taxus brevifolia, which has demonstrated substantial antitumor activity in early clinical trials. Intensive research efforts were necessary to overcome both supply problems and hypersensitivity reactions to the drug and
Paclitaxel is a plant product isolated from the bark of the Western yew (Taxus brevifolia) that promotes the formation and stabilization of microtubules. This leads to growth arrest in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. Paclitaxel has demonstrated significant antineoplastic activity in different
