A Phase 1 Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics Study of AMG 794 With Claudin 6-positive Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Epithelial Ovarian Cancer, and Other Malignant Solid Tumor Indications

October 7, 2025 updated by: Amgen

Phase 1 First-In-Human Study to Explore the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of AMG 794 in Participants With Claudin 6-positive Advanced/Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Epithelial Ovarian Cancer, and Other Malignant Solid Tumor Indications

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of AMG 794 in adult participants and to determine the optimal biological active dose (OBD), at or below the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) with MTD 1 as the maximum tolerated starting dose and MTD 2 as the maximum tolerated target dose.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 -1.
  • Participants with histologically or cytologically documented malignant solid tumor diseases expressing claudin-6 (CLDN6) including but not limited to NSCLC, EOC, testicular germ cell cancer, uterine endometrial cancer, or triple negative breast cancer, and the cancer is at least either locally advanced or metastatic at pre-screening.
  • Participant has provided informed consent prior to initiation of any study specific activities/procedures.

Main study:

  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • Participant has provided informed consent prior to initiation of any study specific activities/procedures.

  • Female participants who are of childbearing potential unwilling to use protocol-specified method of contraception, who are breastfeeding and/or planning to become pregnant.
  • Male participants who have a female partner of childbearing potential who are unwilling to practice sexual abstinence or use protocol-specified contraception and/or who are unwilling to abstain from donating sperm.
  • Participant has known sensitivity to any of the products or components to be administered during dosing.
  • Participant likely to not be available to complete all protocol-required study visits or procedures, and/or to comply with all required study procedures (e.g., Clinical Outcome Assessments) to the best of the participant and investigator's knowledge.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Plan for Individual participant data (IPD)

Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?

YES

IPD Plan Description

De-identified individual patient data for variables necessary to address the specific research question in an approved data sharing request.

IPD Sharing Time Frame

Data sharing requests relating to this study will be considered beginning 18 months after the study has ended and either 1) the product and indication have been granted marketing authorization in both the US and Europe or 2 ) clinical development for the product and/or indication discontinues and the data will not be submitted to regulatory authorities. There is no end date for eligibility to submit a data sharing request for this study.

IPD Sharing Access Criteria

Qualified researchers may submit a request containing the research objectives, the Amgen product(s) and Amgen study/studies in scope, endpoints/outcomes of interest, statistical analysis plan, data requirements, publication plan, and qualifications of the researcher(s). In general, Amgen does not grant external requests for individual patient data for the purpose of re-evaluating safety and efficacy issues already addressed in the product labelling. Requests are reviewed by a committee of internal advisors. If not approved, a Data Sharing Independent Review Panel will arbitrate and make the final decision. Upon approval, information necessary to address the research question will be provided under the terms of a data sharing agreement. This may include anonymized individual patient data and/or available supporting documents, containing fragments of analysis code where provided in analysis specifications.
