Table 1: Anti-Cancer Activity of WHI-P131 Nanoparticles in the MMTV/Neu Transgenic Mouse Model of Metastatic HER2+ Breast Cancer. WHI-P131 [NP] (100mg/kg or 150 mg/kg) was administered i.p. daily for 5 consecutive days each week, x 2 weeks; Taxol (6.7 mg/kg) was administered i.p. on days 1,3, and 5; Gemcitabine (33.7 mg/kg) was administered i.p on days 1 and 8; Gefi nitib (75 mg/kg) was administered daily by gavage. Control group included mice that were treated with i.p. injections of WHI-P131-free vehicle, WHI-P131 [NP] at the ineffective 50 mg/kg dose level, or PBS.
