Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as ABX-EGF can locate tumor cells and either kill them
or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of ABX-EGF in treating patients who have
prostate cancer that has not responded to hormone therapy.
Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the clinical effect of monoclonal antibody ABX-EGF, determined by the PSA
response, in patients with hormone-resistant prostate cancer with rising PSA values
without metastasis.
- Determine the pharmacokinetics and safety profile (including immunogenicity) of this
drug in these patients.
- Determine the overall survival of patients treated with this drug.
- Determine the time to disease progression and time to PSA progression in patients
treated with this drug.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients receive monoclonal antibody ABX-EGF IV over 1 hour once weekly. Treatment continues
every 8 weeks for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable
toxicity.
Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 30-50 patients will be accrued for this study.

Conditions
Conditions usually refer to a disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury. In ClinicalTrials.gov,
conditions include any health issue worth studying, such as lifespan, quality of life, health risks, etc.
Interventions
Interventions refer to the drug, vaccine, procedure, device, or other potential treatment being studied.
Interventions can also include less intrusive possibilities such as surveys, education, and interviews.
Study Phase
Most clinical trials are designated as phase 1, 2, 3, or 4, based on the type of questions
that study is seeking to answer:
In Phase 1 (Phase I) clinical trials, researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people (20-80) for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
In Phase 2 (Phase II) clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people (100-300) to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
In Phase 3 (Phase III) clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to large groups of people (1,000-3,000) to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
In Phase 4 (Phase IV) clinical trials, post marketing studies delineate additional information including the drug's risks, benefits, and optimal use.
These phases are defined by the Food and Drug Administration in the Code of Federal Regulations.
