Advanced drug delivery technologies have been applied in the development of novel, highly cytotoxic agents which will allow companies to target delivery to tumor tissue, sparing normal tissues potentially expanding the repertoire of drugs available for head to treat tumors such as glioblastomas and pancreatic tumors.Over 2,500 drugs are currently in clinical development for the treatment of cancer. Many of these drugs belong to novel drugs classes which are associated with unique delivery issues, In order to be successful pharma companies are employing the services of drug delivery specialist companies to raise the commercial potential of their products.Whilst the oral delivery of anticancer has not been a major resistor for the marketplace companies that have developed targeted immunotherapeutics have captured the attention of delivery experts who have begun to develop carriers for their oral delivery. If successful this could radically change treatment paradigms in the future.
