Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to demonstrate the bioequivalence of DOXIL/CAELYX, 40 mg/m2 (IV infusion over 90 minutes) between two manufacturing facilities. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), two products are considered to be bioequivalent when they are equal in the rate and extent to which the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) becomes available at the site(s) of drug action. Any abnormalities of the safety endpoints (Clinical Laboratory Test, Electrocardiogram, Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction, Physical Examination) will be captured as Adverse Events.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Cmax based on encapsulated doxorubicin in patients
Cmax=maximum observed plasma concentration.
Day 1 (Cycle 1) and Day 28 (Cycle 2) at 15 minutes (min) prior to dosing as a baseline measurement and at 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour (h), 1 h 30 min, 1 h 35 min, 1h 45 min, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h, 24 h, 48 h, 96 h, 168 h, 240 h, 336 h, 504 h post-dosing
AUC0-t based on encapsulated doxorubicin in patients
AUC0-t=area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to time t (interchangeable with AUC0-last).
Day 1 (Cycle 1) and Day 28 (Cycle 2) at 15 minutes (min) prior to dosing as a baseline measurement and at 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour (h), 1 h 30 min, 1 h 35 min, 1h 45 min, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h, 24 h, 48 h, 96 h, 168 h, 240 h, 336 h, 504 h post-dosing
AUC0-∞ based on encapsulated doxorubicin in patients
AUC0-∞=area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinite time, calculated as the sum of AUClast and Clast/λz, in which Clast is the last observed quantifiable concentration. The reference and the test products will be considered bioequivalent if the three 90% CIs for encapsulated doxorubicin fall within (0.80, 1.25).

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:

Patients without any prior anthracycline exposure can also be included.
- Adequate liver function as determined by serum total bilirubin levels ≤ 1.2 mg/dL, and serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels ≤ 2.5 x ULN.
- Adequate bone marrow function, as determined by an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/mm3 (or ≥ 1.5 x 109/L), a platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm3 (or ≥ 100 x 109/L), and a hemoglobin level ≥ 9 g/dL (or ≥ 90 g/L), in the absence of transfusion requirements or cytokine support for at least 7 days prior to enrolling in the study.
- Adequate renal function (mL/min), as determined by multiplying estimated glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR) by the body surface area (BSA) and dividing the value by 1.73 m2.
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) within normal limits of the institution, as determined by multiple uptake gated acquisition (MUGA) or echocardiography.
- Female patients (of childbearing potential) must use medically acceptable methods of birth control (e.g., prescription oral contraceptives, contraceptive injections, contraceptive patches, intrauterine devices, the double-barrier method, male partner sterilization) before enrollment, throughout the study and for at least 8 months after the last DOXIL/CAELYX infusion.
- Male patients must agree to use an adequate contraception method as deemed appropriate by the Investigator and always use condoms when sexually active during the study. Medically acceptable methods of contraception that may be used by the patient and/or his partner include oral contraceptives, contraceptive injections, contraceptive patches, intrauterine devices, the double-barrier method, and surgical sterilization (vasectomy or tubal ligation) for minimally 6 months after the last administration of DOXIL/CAELYX. Sperm donation is not allowed during the study and for minimally 6 months after the last administration of DOXIL/CAELYX.
- Negative pregnancy test (urinary or serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin \[β-HCG\]) at Screening (applicable to women of childbearing potential) within 7 days prior to starting treatment.
