Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
Part 1: AMG 509 Intravenous (IV) MonotherapyEXPERIMENTALPart 1 will evaluate AMG 509 in participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have been previously treated with novel hormonal therapy (NHT) and 1 to 2 prior taxanes. The dose exploration phase of the study will estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of AMG 509 using a Bayesian logistic regression model (BLRM; Neuenschwander et al, 2008). Recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) may be identified based on emerging safety, efficacy, PK, and pharmacodynamics (PD) data, as well as patient experience prior to reaching an MTD. Alternative dosing schedule(s) (including a third step dose) may be explored based on emerging efficacy, safety, PK data and patient experience. During the dose-expansion phase, individual cohorts of participants from China will be enrolled with a safety lead-in at 1 dose level below the MTD or RP2D followed by evaluation at the MTD or RP2D to confirm the safety, tolerability, MTD and/or RP2D of AMG 509 in Chinese participants.
Part 2: AMG 509 Subcutaneous (SC) MonotherapyEXPERIMENTALPart 2 will explore the safety, tolerability, and PK of AMG 509 SC dosing in participants with mCRPC who have been previously treated with NHT and 1 to 2 prior taxanes. Recommended phase 2 dose for SC monotherapy may be identified based on emerging safety, efficacy, PK, and PD data, as well as patient experience prior to reaching an MTD.
Part 3: AMG 509 IV Monotherapy in Earlier Lines of TreatmentEXPERIMENTALPart 3 will explore AMG 509 in participants with mCRPC who have received no, or 1-2 prior NHTs (may have been given for hormone-sensitive prostate cancer \[HSPC\]) and no prior taxanes (unless administered in HSPC setting). This dose-expansion will be conducted to confirm safety, PK, and PD of AMG 509 at the MTD or RP2D determined in Part 1 dose exploration, and to obtain further safety and efficacy data and correlative biomarker analysis.
Part 4: AMG 509 IV Combination TherapyEXPERIMENTALPart 4 will explore the safety, tolerability, and PK of AMG 509 for participants with mCRPC who have received no or 1 to 2 prior NHTs given in any disease setting depending on the part (dose-expansion phase: prior therapies including at least 1 prior NHT and either 0 or 1 prior poly-ADP ribose polymerase \[PARP\] inhibitor), at dose regimens previously determined to be safe and tolerable in Part 1, in combination with abiraterone acetate (Part 4A) or enzalutamide (Part 4B) and no or 1 prior taxane for hormone sensitive disease in Parts 4A and 4B.
Part 5: AMG 509 IV Monotherapy in Outpatient SettingEXPERIMENTALPart 5 will evaluate the safety and tolerability of AMG 509 IV dosing in participants with mCRPC who have been previously treated with NHT and 1 to 2 prior taxanes, when administered in outpatient infusion centers. The Part 5 dosing regimen and schedule was selected based on emerging data and dose level review team (DLRT) recommendations and will utilize the doses explored in Part 1 dose-expansion phase.
Part 6: AMG 509 IV as Monotherapy and Combination Therapy With Abiraterone AcetateEXPERIMENTALPart 6 will evaluate the preliminary efficacy, safety, tolerability, and PK of AMG 509 (alone or in combination with abiraterone acetate) for participants with mCRPC who have progressed on only 1 prior NHT (prior exposure to ≤ 6 cycles of taxane is allowed in mHSPC setting) and who have Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 measurable disease. Part 6 dosing regimen has been previously determined as safe and tolerable and is aligned with the dosing schedule for Parts 3 and 4A expansion.
Part 7 (China only): AMG 509 IV as Monotherapy or in Combination With Abiraterone AcetateEXPERIMENTALPart 7 will only include participants from China. This part will evaluate safety and tolerability of AMG 509 IV dosing in participants who have been previously treated with NHT and 1 to 2 prior taxanes. Part 7 dosing regime will first be enrolled to dose level-1 (1.0 mg target dose) and if tolerated and if DLRT determines it is safe to escalate to the MTD/RP2D, 1.5 mg every 2 weeks (Q2W) dosing regimen may be explored. If the RP2D is safe and tolerable and once AMG 509 monotherapy dose confirmation is complete, a cohort of participants to receive AMG 509 combination therapy with abiraterone acetate may be initiated.

Frequently asked questions about AMG 509

What is AMG 509 used for in prostate cancer?

AMG 509 is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development and is not yet approved by regulatory authorities. The drug is being evaluated in a clinical trial enrolling male participants aged 18 years and older.

Who makes AMG 509?

AMG 509 is being developed by Amgen Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol AMGN. The company is conducting a Phase 1 clinical trial of AMG 509 in participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

What phase is AMG 509 in?

AMG 509 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug being studied for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and has not been approved by the FDA or other regulatory agencies. The ongoing Phase 1 trial is actively recruiting participants.

What clinical trials is AMG 509 in?

AMG 509 is being studied in a single active Phase 1 clinical trial with the identifier NCT04221542.
