About PICS (Paclitaxel Injection Concentrate for Suspension):
PICS (Paclitaxel Injection Concentrate for Suspension) is a Cremophor® and Albumin-free formulation of Paclitaxel. PICS seeks the same indications as Abraxane®. Since it is Cremophor®-free, it can be diluted in either a PVC or non-PVC sterile infusion bag with an appropriate volume of 5% w/v Dextrose injection. Premedication to prevent hypersensitivity is generally not needed prior to administration of PICS. A New Drug Application for PICS is currently under review by the USFDA.
