Abstract
Over the past three decades, nanomedicines have become increasingly common in the treatment of cancer. By altering the pharmacokinetics and biodistribution profiles of drugs, nanomedicines help to reduce toxicity and enhance overall therapeutic indices. This manuscript reviews the current landscape of nanomedicines for cancer therapy, highlighting the formulations that have successfully reached clinical use as well as those being investigated in clinical trials. These formulations include “conventional” nanomedicines that rely on passive drug delivery, as well as newer formulations that are stimuli-responsive, actively targeted, used for combination therapies, or intended to improve immunotherapy. By critically analyzing the clinical progress of nanomedicines, we aim to identify the key features that drive successful translation and lead to clinical impact.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Controlled Release (JCR) proudly serves as the Official Journal of the Controlled Release Society and the Japan Society of Drug Delivery System.
Dedicated to the broad field of delivery science and technology, JCR publishes high-quality research articles covering drug delivery systems and all facets of formulations. This includes the physicochemical and biological properties of drugs, design and characterization of dosage forms, release mechanisms, in vivo testing, and formulation research and development across pharmaceutical, diagnostic, agricultural, environmental, cosmetic, and food industries.
Priority is given to manuscripts that contribute to the fundamental understanding of principles or demonstrate the advantages of novel technologies in terms of safety and efficacy over current clinical standards. JCR strives to be a leading platform for advancements in delivery science and technology.
