Eloxatin®, Elplat®, Dacotin®, Dacplat®

A major advance in the history of cancer treatment

Oxaliplatin is a diaminocyclohexane (DACH) platin. It is the active substance of the branded Eloxatin®/Elplat®/Dacotin®/Dacplat®, which has dramatically changed the prognosis of colorectal cancer. In 1996, prior to the introduction of oxaliplatin, the standard of care for colorectal cancer was 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Combination of oxaliplatin with 5-FU and leucovorin (FOLFOX) allowed to more than double the survival of patients with metastatic disease.

In 2000’s approval of oxaliplatin in adjuvant settings has significantly increased the number of patients cured. It is a worldwide standard treatment in metastatic colorectal cancer.
