Sequus Pharmaceuticals reported on Wednesday that it has begun shipping DOXIL to wholesalers and distributors, following FDA marketing clearance of the drug. According to I. Craig Henderson, chairman and CEO of Sequus, "We began receiving orders from the field as soon as we announced FDA market clearance of DOXIL and we are currently filling those orders." DOXIL has been approved for the treatment of Kaposi's sarcoma in AIDS patients who are intolerant to conventional therapies or for whom those therapies are ineffective.
