| Description | Cixutumumab has been used in trials studying the treatment of Lung Cancer, Malignant Neoplasm, Leukemia, Mast-Cell, Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma, and Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate. Cixutumumab is a highly specific recombinant human monoclonal antibody with high affinity for the insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR). IGF-IR is overexpressed in a variety of tumour types. |
| Indication/Disease | NA |

| Mechanism of Action | Cixutumumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that specifically targets the type 1 human insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR). Tumors have receptors for the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-I), and it is thought that the presence of these receptors cause tumors to grow. Cixutumumab attaches to the receptors and may inhibit the growth of cancer cells. |
