Pegylated liposome technology represents a favourable drug-carrier system, since stealth liposomal drugs have a reduced clearance with prolonged circulation half-life and selective drug accumulation in tissues with increased vascular permeability, such as tumor tissues. Caelyx is a pegylated liposome containing doxorubicin, which has been developed to target drug delivery to cancer cells, thus reducing toxicities. Biodistribution studies have shown a selective tumor uptake in patients with advanced head and neck cancer (HNC), thus justifying the present phase I study.
