Trial Information

A Clinical Trial Evaluating The Safety And Efficacy Of ABX-EGF In Patients With Hormone Resistant Prostate Cancer With Elevated PSA Without Metastasis


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.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

- Diagnosis of prostate cancer with rising PSA values without metastasis

- PSA must be at least 5 ng/mL

- PSA must show an increase above a reference level on 2 separate occasions

- Must have tumor over-expressing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFr) by
immunohistochemistry

- Staining must be 2+ or 3+ in at least 10% of evaluated tumor cells

- Must have tissue available for diagnostics

- Must have failed prior front-line luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH)

levels of testosterone (less than 50 mg/mL) NOTE: Must continue on a LHRH analogue
(unless an orchiectomy was performed) throughout the study
