Clinical trial NCT00070837: MLN2704 in Subjects With Metastatic Androgen-Independent Prostate Cancer
Official title: A Phase 1/2 Dose Escalation Trial of Multiple Doses of MLN2704 (DM1 Conjugated Monoclonal Antibody MLN591) in Subjects With Metastatic Androgen-Independent Prostate Cancer
Study type: INTERVENTIONAL
Overall status: COMPLETED
Phase: PHASE1
PHASE2
Conditions: Prostatic Neoplasms
Lead sponsor: Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Sponsor class: INDUSTRY
First posted: 2003-10-13

Accepts healthy volunteers: no
Allocation: NON_RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The purpose of the study is to determine the highest dose of MLN2704 that can be given multiple times safely to patients with prostate cancer, and to identify any side effects associated with taking the drug. This study will also evaluate how MLN2704 is taken up, broken down and eliminated by the body.
