Abstract

Fenretinide is a pro-apoptotic, cytotoxic, synthetic Vitamin A analogue with application in the treatment of Ewing’s sarcoma. For pediatric study, a ‘cookie dough’ formulation had been developed, improving upon an existing corn oil formulation. We report on a simplified capsular formulation of Fenretinide with the novel solubility and bioavailability enhancing lipid matrix, Lym-X-Sorb™.
