Frequently asked questions about Apremilast Immediate Release

What is Apremilast Immediate Release?

Apremilast Immediate Release is an immediate-release small molecule formulation of apremilast being developed by Amgen Inc. (ticker AMGN). It is in Phase 1 clinical development, with the disclosed clinical activity conducted in healthy adult male volunteers rather than in a patient population with a named disease.

What does Apremilast Immediate Release target?

Apremilast Immediate Release targets the phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) enzymes, specifically the PDE4A, PDE4D, PDE4B, and PDE4C subtypes. It acts as an inhibitor of these PDE4 enzymes, which are the molecular targets named for this small molecule asset.

Who makes Apremilast Immediate Release?

Apremilast Immediate Release is being developed by Amgen Inc., which trades under the ticker AMGN. Amgen is the developer listed for this immediate-release apremilast formulation.

What phase is Apremilast Immediate Release in?

Apremilast Immediate Release is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational formulation and is not approved. One Phase 1 trial has been completed, and no trials are currently active, so the disclosed clinical work to date has been early-stage pharmacokinetic evaluation.

What clinical trials is Apremilast Immediate Release in?

Apremilast Immediate Release has been studied in one completed Phase 1 trial, NCT02236988, titled a study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of prototype modified-release formulations of apremilast in healthy men. That trial enrolled 80 participants in the United States, was randomized and controlled, and used healthy male volunteers aged 18 years and older.
