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.
