Phase II Study of the Human Anti-Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule Antibody Adecatumumab in Prostate Cancer Patients with Increasing Serum Levels of Prostate-Specific Antigen after Radical Prostatectomy
Background: Rising serum levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) after radical prostatectomy are indicative of recurrent prostate cancer. This double-blind, placebo-controlled phase II study evaluated the anti-tumour activity of the anti-epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) antibody adecatumumab in delaying biochemical disease progression. Patients and Methods: Prostate cancer patients with
