Hi Janscanner,

I had to look it up! Here’s what I found :-

“ Standard formulation paclitaxel requires the use of solvents, such as Cremphor-EL®, which contribute to some of the toxicities commonly associated with paclitaxel-based therapy. Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab™-paclitaxel) is a novel solvent-free formulation of paclitaxel.“

I haven’t had it but I am going to ask about it as I’m about to start 3rd line Paclitaxel!

Please let us know how you get in with it.

Good Luck,

Iris 👍☺️
