Cixutumumab (IMC-A12) is a human anti-IGF-1R monoclonal antibody with high affinity that inhibits ligand-dependent receptor activation and downstream signaling. Cixutumumab also mediates the internalization and degradation of IGF-IR. Cixutumumab shows broad-spectrum anti-tumour activity and can be used in studies of cancers such as lung cancer, malignancies, leukaemia, non-small cell lung cancer and prostate cancer[1].
Cixutumumab (IMC-A12) (0.01-100 nM; 96 h) exhibits at least 50% growth inhibition in CHLA-9, TC-71and Rh41 cells[1].
Cixutumumab (IMC-A12) (1 mg/rat; i.p.; twice weekly for 6 weeks) shows broad-spectrum antitumor activity, inhibits tumor growth of the PPTP’s in vivo solid tumor panels[1].
