If I'm correctly reading Miljenko's original comment (valuation thread #15165), 80-90% of the xyotax administered is recovered in the urine, intact. If the glutamate chains were not severed from the active ingredient, then logically that conjugated form could not have had a therapeutic effect in the patient.

From the article:

<<In rats, the major route of elimination of [14C]paclitaxel poliglumex was by hepatic clearance and biliary excretion; urinary excretion was a minor route of elimination (Baker, unpublished observations). >>

A contradiction. (unless you believe rats and humans metabolize Xyotax very differently)
