Abstract
Non-aqueous, ethanol-free taxane formulations are provided. Formulations of embodiments of the invention include a taxane, an oil, a non-ionic surfactant, a non-aqueous solvent, and an organic acid component, wherein the organic acid component is soluble in the non-aqueous solvent and the amount by weight of non-ionic surfactant is equal to or greater than the amount by weight of non-aqueous solvent. Also provided are methods of using the formulations, as well as kits that include the formulations. Non-aqueous, ethanol-free docetaxel formulations are provided. Formulations of embodiments of the invention include docetaxel, an oil, a non-ionic surfactant, a non-aqueous solvent, and an organic acid which is soluble in the non-aqueous solvent and is substantially free of any conjugate base.
