PRINCETON, New Jersey-Cytogen Corporation’s ProstaScint (capromab pendetide) is being evaluated in a phase I/II clinical study for its utility in helping guide intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for prostate cancer.

PRINCETON, New Jersey—Cytogen Corporation’s ProstaScint (capromabpendetide) is being evaluated in a phase I/II clinical study for its utility inhelping guide intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for prostate cancer. 

ProstaScint is a radiolabeled monoclonal antibody that targets prostate specificmembrane antigen. In the study, the specific areas of greatest tumor burdenwithin the prostate, identified by the ProstaScint image, will receive boosteddoses of radiation via IMRT.
