MetaStat, Inc. engages in the research, development, and commercialization of pharmaceutical products. The company is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. The company went IPO on 2008-02-13. The firm's therapeutic focus targets a critical metastatic pathway in solid tumors responsible for driving tumor resistance and the spread of aggressive cancer. The firm's product development programs are focused on developing drug candidates and companion diagnostic tests that target the MENA pathway. Its pipelines include MENA Diagnostic Assay and MetaSite Breast Assay. The MENA diagnostic assay is a tissue-based quantitative immunofluorescence (QIF) test that measures expression of the pro-metastatic MENA protein splice-variant which is associated with poor outcomes and metastasis in early-stage breast cancer (ESBC) and squamous cell carcinoma of the Lung. MetaSite Breast is an immunohistochemistry test (IHC) that measures micro-anatomical intravasation sites (TMEM) at blood vessels within the tumor microenvironment which are clinically validated as prognostic markers of metastasis in hormone receptor-positive (HR+) ESBC.
