Olaptesedpegol

Olaptesed pegol (NOX-A12) L-oligoribonucleotide aptamer targeting CXCL12 based on a pegylated structure. Olaptesed pegol neutralizes CXCL12, and CXCL12 inhibition mobilizes chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells into the circulation and prevents their homing into the protective microenvironment[1].
