Volociximab (also known as M200) is a chimeric monoclonal antibody jointly developed by PDL BioPharma and Biogen Idec for treatment of a variety of advanced solid tumors. It binds to and inhibits the functional activity of α5β1 integrin. [1]
It is thought to reduce metastases. Early results show potential in renal cell cancers.[ citation needed]
