ok, need help in deciphering the Da Vinci Code here (in addition to zeta's reply):

<<The Phase I dose escalation in lung cancer in San Antonio has everybody in oncology glued to their seats. At the present rate, it looks like much larger doses of paclitaxel/taxol can be run in on the 1st cycle than ever before, with much less toxicity.>>

I'm confused by the bold faced text: The best answer is that:

(a) with xyotax's lower tox profile in second or third line therapy to refractory cases, higher doses of first line paclitaxel/taxol can be administered in first line therapy; or

(b) paclitaxel in this context refers to xyotax's polyglutamate polymer linked form of paclitaxel; or

(c) it was a typo; or

(d) none of the above.

I suppose, given Natashya (David's) enthusiasm, "(b)" would be the best answer and the answer that would most please erik and the poper.
