Al's Comment:

 This is an old drug - CCNU - but a new capsule size was just approved by the FDA.  It is commonly used in combination with Avastin.  The standard dose is 130mg/m2 which for a 200 pound 6' tall person works out to about 275 mg... They already had capsules of 100mg, 40 mg and 10mg.  SO I guess this allows for finer control of the dose - however, some insurance companies charge a copay on each capsule size.
