Pharmacosmos is a Danish family-owned company specialising in intravenous iron; its iron isomaltoside (Monofer) treats the anaemia that chemotherapy and cancer itself cause, and it leads phase 3 trials in that setting.
Pharmacosmos A/S, founded in 1965 and based in Holbæk, Denmark, develops carbohydrate chemistry and intravenous iron products. Its iron isomaltoside 1000 (Monofer, ferric derisomaltose in the United States) is given as a single high-dose infusion for iron deficiency anaemia, including in patients with cancer, and the company has run phase 3 trials in cancer-related anaemia registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.
Trilaciclib is given as an infusion just before chemotherapy for small cell lung cancer to put the bone marrow's stem cells briefly to sleep, so fewer are killed and patients need fewer transfusions and growth factor injections.
