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.{{cite journal | vauthors = Ng CM, Bai S, Takimoto CH, Tang MT, Tolcher AW | title = Mechanism-based receptor-binding model to describe the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic of an anti-α5β1 integrin monoclonal antibody (volociximab) in cancer patients | journal = Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology | volume = 65 | issue = 2 | pages = 207–17 | date = January 2010 | pmid = 19468731 | doi = 10.1007/s00280-009-1023-8 | s2cid = 23035675 }}
