Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Objective Response Rate
Disease was evaluated radiologically at baseline, every 3 cycles (9 weeks) on treatment and at end of treatment. Patients in this study cohort received a median of 6 treatment cycles (18 weeks).

Objective response rate is the percentage of patients achieving partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) per RECIST 1.0 criteria. For target lesions, CR is complete disappearance of all target lesions and PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference baseline sum LD. CR or PR status must be confirmed by repeat assessments performed no fewer than 4 weeks or more than 6 weeks after the response criteria are first met. PR or better overall response assumes at a minimum incomplete response/stable disease (SD) for the evaluation of non-target lesions and absence of new lesions.

Secondary Endpoints

Duration of Response
Disease was evaluated radiologically at baseline, every 3 cycles (9 weeks) on treatment and at end of treatment. Patients in this study cohort received a median of 6 treatment cycles (18 weeks).
Grade 3-4 Toxicity Rate
Toxicity was evaluated every cycle (3 weeks) on treatment. Patients in this study cohort received a median of 6 treatment cycles (18 weeks).
Progression Free Survival
Disease was evaluated radiologically at baseline, every 3 cycles (9 weeks) on treatment and at end of treatment. Patients in this study cohort were followed up to 20 months.

Frequently asked questions about AMG 479

What is AMG 479 used for?

AMG 479 was studied for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors, including advanced carcinoid tumors and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. It was evaluated in a Phase 2 clinical trial in adult patients with these tumor types. It is an investigational agent and is not an approved therapy for neuroendocrine tumors.

Who is developing AMG 479?

AMG 479 is being developed by Amgen Inc., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker AMGN. Amgen sponsored the Phase 2 study of AMG 479 in advanced carcinoid and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors conducted in the United States.

What phase is AMG 479 in?

AMG 479 is in Phase 2 development for neuroendocrine tumors. The single Phase 2 trial, NCT01024387, has been completed. No active trials are currently listed for AMG 479 in this indication, and the drug remains investigational rather than approved.

What clinical trials is AMG 479 in?

AMG 479 was evaluated in one Phase 2 trial, NCT01024387, titled AMG 479 in Advanced Carcinoid and Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors. The study enrolled 60 adults aged 18 years and older in the United States and has been completed. It was an uncontrolled, non-randomized, open-label study.

Is AMG 479 FDA approved?

AMG 479 is not approved and remains an investigational drug in clinical development. Its only listed study, a completed Phase 2 trial in advanced carcinoid and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, does not constitute regulatory approval. No approval has been granted for AMG 479 for any indication.
