Liposome-encapsulated vincristine (Vincristine Sulfate Liposome Injection) was prepared using a six vial kit. Vials 1 and 2 contained a vincristine sulfate solution (1 mg/mL Vincasar PFS®, SP Pharmaceuticals LLC, Albuqueque, N. Mex.) in buffer comprising mannitol and sodium acetate, pH 4.5-4.7, vial 3 contained empty liposomes (100 mg/mL Sphingomyelin/Cholesterol liposomes, at a ratio of between about 60/40 to 50/50, or more preferably 55/45 mol %/mol %) in buffer comprising 300 mM citrate at pH 4.0, vials 4 and 5 contained an alkaline phosphate buffer (14.2 mg/mL dibasic sodium phosphate hepta hydrate), and vial 6 was an empty, sterile vial. The foregoing empty liposomes were prepared using thin film hydration and standard extrusion techniques, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,741,516.
