I recently became aware of a Phase III clinical trial of Myocet. This investigational drug is an encapsulated form of Adriamycin. This drug is currently approved in Europe

It does not have the usual cardiotoxicity associated with AC.

Might be a good way to combine dox with Zolendronic acid if those trials prove beneficial.
