Experiment 1 Reporting the Activity Data of This PDC [1]
Indication Breast cancer
Efficacy Data ALP level
80
Administration Time 21d
Description
Remarkably, leucopenia and myelosuppression did not occur during the use of PDC. In addition, the values of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), as the biomarkers of hepatic function, were all in the normal range in comparison to the saline group (Figure 5F-H). Meanwhile, normal renal function was also identified after treatment by monitoring CREA, UA, and BUN (Figure 5I-K).

Experiment 6 Reporting the Activity Data of This PDC [2]
Indication Tumor
Efficacy Data Tumer volume
2100 mm3
Administration Time Given every other day for a total of five times
Administration Dosage 400 µg/kg (calculated by free DM1)
Description
It was demonstrated here, RCCD@NPs and RSSD@NPs exhibited significantly better tumor-growth inhibition compared with that of the free DM1, QCCD@NPs or QSSD@NPs (Figure (Figure4A).4A). RSSD@NPs showed the most suppression on B16 tumor up to 25 days, and resulted in a tumor volume 4 times smaller than the saline group at the end of the experiment. The final tumor volumes in various nano-DDS groups ranked from the greatest to the least: QCCD@NPs, QSSD@NPs>DM1>RCCD@NPs>RSSD@NPs. Almost the same trends were found in terms of tumor weight and tumor size (Figures (Figures4B,4B, C).
