Calcitriol, at very low doses, is currently approved for use in patients with chronic kidney failure. DN-101 was specifically designed for cancer and contains 30 times the amount of calcitriol found in the calcitriol pill commercially available today. In order to take an amount of calcitriol equivalent to 1 DN-101 pill, cancer patients would need to swallow 30 pills of the approved, low dose formulation. DN-101 represents a breakthrough in the use of calcitriol in the clinic, because it contains high concentrations of calcitriol and makes it more feasible for patients to stay on regimen.
