Strategic Opportunities
ADVENTRX is seeking partners for one or both of its two late-stage oncology programs, both of which are novel reformulations of currently approved products and are designed to improve the safety profiles of the approved products without affecting efficacy. ANX-514 (docetaxel emulsion for injection) is a reformulation of the blockbuster chemotherapeutic agent, Taxotere(R). In 2007, the aggregate worldwide market for Taxotere was in excess of $3 billion. ANX-530 (vinorelbine injectable emulsion) is a reformulation of Navelbine(R) which, despite being a generic product for a number of years, still sells in excess of $200 million a year world-wide. Both of the Company's product candidates have the potential to be on the market in 2010.
