For clinical application of
cis[((1R,2R)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine-N,N')bis(R.sup.1)]platinum(II)
(R.sup.1 is an alkanoyloxy group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms), the
present invention aims at providing a formulation which prevents layer
separation and changes in viscosity, shows fine suspendability, and which
is easy to handle during administration. The formulation of the present
invention is a lyophilized a formulation for injection obtained by
dissolving a
cis[((1R,2R)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine-N,N')bis(R.sup.1)]platinum(II) in
2-methyl-2-propanol and lyophilizing this solution, which has a central
particle size distribution of around 3-25 .mu.m and a D90% value of not
more than 40 .mu.m.
