The Australian: Starpharma to develop improved cancer drug

The Australian online reported on Starpharma’s pre-clinical study of the effects of its dendrimer-enhanced oxaliplatin on colon cancer.  

“The results showed that the enhanced drug was better at inhibiting tumours and reducing toxic side-effects than the non-enhanced drug. Oxaliplatin is sold as Eloxatin by Sanofi and in 2012 generated sales of about $US2 billion (currently around $A2.16 billion).”

Herald Sun: Starpharma may be on to a good thing

Herald Sun business journalist John Beveridge reported on the versatility of Starpharma’s dendrimer technology.

"There is no secret why Starpharma is going after docetaxel given its sales of $US2.14 billion in 2009, but there is a long list of other potential drugs that could benefit from improved delivery mechanisms. The other thing I like about Starpharma is that it has lots of irons in the fire. Its phase-three Vivagel trials for relieving symptoms of bacterial vaginosis have potential to recover ground lost when trials as a cure for that disease marginally failed to reach their endpoint. Plus the potential for removing solvents and greatly improving the efficacy of a broad range of agricultural chemicals is a much-underestimated source of future profits for Starpharma."
