Study of Effectiveness of IMC-A12 Antibody Combined With Hormone Therapy Prior to Surgery to Treat Prostate Cancer
Completed · Phase 2
Conditions studied: Prostate Cancer
In brief
The purpose of this study is to determine whether combination treatment of prostate cancer with IMC-A12 (an antibody which blocks insulin-like growth factor receptor activity) with hormonal therapy (testosterone lowering) before prostatectomy, will be more effective than prior results with hormonal therapy alone.
