Article Abstract

Purpose: AMG 986 is a novel apelin receptor (APJ) agonist that improves cardiac contractility in animal models without adversely impacting hemodynamics. This phase 1b study evaluated the safety/tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of AMG 986 in healthy subjects and patients with heart failure (HF).

Methods: Healthy adults (Parts A/B) and HF patients (Part C) aged 18-85 years were randomized 3:1 to single-dose oral/IV AMG 986 or placebo (Part A); multiple-dose oral/IV AMG 986 or placebo (Part B); or escalating-dose oral AMG 986 or placebo (Part C).

Primary Endpoint: treatment-emergent adverse events, laboratory values/vital signs/ECGs; others included AMG 986 pharmacokinetics, left ventricular (LV) function.

Results: Overall, 182 subjects were randomized (AMG 986/healthy: n = 116, placebo, n = 38; AMG 986/HF: n = 20, placebo, n = 8). AMG 986 had acceptable safety profile; no clinically significant dose-related impact on safety parameters up to 650 mg/day was observed. AMG 986 exposures increased nonlinearly with increasing doses; minimal accumulation was observed. In HF with reduced ejection fraction patients, there were numerical increases in percent changes from baseline in LV ejection fraction and stroke volume by volumetric assessment with AMG 986 vs placebo (stroke volume increase not recapitulated by Doppler).

Conclusions: In healthy subjects and HF patients, short-term AMG 986 treatment was well tolerated. Consistent with this observation, clinically meaningful pharmacodynamic effects in HF patients were not observed. Changes in ejection fraction and stroke volume in HF patients suggest additional studies may be needed to better define the clinical utility and optimal dosing for this molecule.

Background And Objective: AMG 986 is a first-in-class, novel apelin receptor small molecule agonist initially developed for the treatment of heart failure. The current phase I study was conducted to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of a single-dose 200-mg capsule formulation of AMG 986 relative to the tablet formulation in 12 healthy subjects.

Methods: In a two-period, two-way crossover design, eligible subjects were randomized 1:1 to tablet/capsule or capsule/tablet treatment sequences; each treatment sequence lasted for approximately 6 days and comprised six subjects.

The objectives were to develop a standardized Ki-67 immunohistochemistry (IHC) method for precise, robust, and reproducible assessment of patients with early breast cancer, and utilize this assay to evaluate patients participating in the monarchE study (NCT03155997). The Ki-67 assay was developed and validated for sensitivity, specificity, repeatability, precision, and robustness using a predefined ≥20% cutoff. Reproducibility studies (intersite and intrasite, interobserver and intraobserver) were conducted at 3 external laboratories using detailed scoring instructions designed for monarchE.

Background And Objective: AMG 986 is a first-in-class, novel apelin receptor small molecule agonist initially developed as a treatment for patients with heart failure (HF). Previously, a first-in-human study of AMG 986 was conducted in healthy and HF subjects; however, AMG 986 was not evaluated in Japanese subjects.

Methods: This was a phase I, open-label, single-dose, single-center study conducted to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of AMG 986 200 mg and 400 mg in 12 healthy Japanese subjects.

This phase 1, open-label study evaluated the effect of food and administration of the cytochrome P450 3A4 and P-glycoprotein inhibitor itraconazole (ITZ) on the pharmacokinetics of AMG 986. In cohort 1, 12 healthy subjects received a single oral dose of AMG 986 200 mg ± food on days 1 and 10. In cohort 2, 15 healthy subjects received oral ITZ 200 mg once daily on days 8 to 15 and a single oral dose of AMG 986 10 mg on days 1 and 11.
