I'm not sure this has been detailed before.

M402

M402 is our next most advanced novel HSPG-based product candidate and is engineered to have potent anti-cancer properties and low anticoagulant activity. HSPGs are complex molecules present in the tumor microenvironment which play a role in the conversion of normal cells into cancerous cells and present growth factors, cytokines, and chemokines necessary for tumor cell growth, migration, and survival. M402 is designed to exploit this biology. Data from preclinical studies have shown that M402 has the potential to modulate angiogenesis and tumor metastasis through a variety of HSPG-binding proteins. We currently have plans to advance M402 into human clinical trials in the first half of 2011.
