AMG 706 / AMG706

    AMG 706 is Amgen's first small molecule anti-cancer therapeutic candidate, which selectively inhibits multiple kinases involved in the formation of blood vessels. AMG 706 appeared to reduce vascular permeability and blood flow in human tumors in a Phase 1 trial. Early clinical data shows signs of tumor regression with promising preliminary safety data that allows for combination therapy. (from Amgen.com)

    Phase I trials are underway at John Wayne Cancer Institute (Santa Monica, Ca.) and at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (Houston, Texas)
