Oakwood Laboratories is an Ohio specialist in long-acting injectable microspheres whose leuprolide depot formulations for prostate cancer went through the phase 3 trials it led.
Oakwood Laboratories, founded in 1997 in Oakwood Village, Ohio, develops sustained-release injectable microsphere formulations. Its leuprolide acetate depot products for advanced prostate cancer, developed to match the established monthly and three-monthly injections, were taken through phase 3 trials registered on ClinicalTrials.gov under Oakwood as lead sponsor, and the company also contract-manufactures depots for partners.
Leuprolide is the injectable that shuts off testosterone production, the foundation of hormone therapy for prostate cancer since the 1980s; it is also used for ovarian suppression in premenopausal breast cancer.
