In clinical trials. Also known as Optisome.
General information
Class/mechanism: Vinca alkaloid, inhibits microtubule formation in the mitotic spindle, causing cell cycle arrest in metaphase. Marqibo involves nanoparticle-encapsulation of vincristine, which is hypothesized to provide improved tissue drug penetration and reduced toxicity.[1]
Route: IV
Extravasation: no information
