Modulation Therapeutics is dedicated towards the rapid and cost
effective advancement of early stage first in class molecules
targeting the tumor microenvironment. Tumors that home or
metastasize to the bone are typically difficult to treat with
standard chemotherapy. We propose that strategies to eradicate
tumors that home or metastasize to the bone marrow compartment must include disrupting
tumor-host interactions. Our lead compound MTI-101 targets CD44, a
cell adhesion molecule required for homing to the bone. Our compound
shows activity as a single agent using myelomain vivo models. We
