  • Patent number: 8389558
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising bendamustine and one or more amphiphilic anionic compounds and self assembled aggregates, which aggregates exhibit enhanced stability in aqueous solutions, including plasma, are disclosed. The unexpectedly enhanced stability afforded by such aggregates permits patients to be treated with bendamustine in lower and/or with less frequent dosages or to improve its therapeutic effect while using the same as presently used treatment protocol.
