AMG 531 is being developed for three major health concerns • Immune (idiopathic) Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) • Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) • Chemotherapy-Induced Thrombocytopenia (CIT) 6 Agoniste d’une cible nouvelle: AMG 655 TRAIL Receptor-2 Agonist Fully Human Monoclonal Antibody Induce Apoptosis Existing data: Preclinical single agent activity in multiple tumor models (NSCLC, colorectal, pancreas) and cooperativity with chemotherapy TR-2 Ab TR-1 TR-2 Encouraging First-in-Human data P LoRusso ASCO 2007 FADD Caspase-8, 10 Caspase-3, 9 Apoptosis Tumor Necrosis Factor – Related Apoptosis – Inducing Ligand AMG 655 Apo2L/TRAIL Y TR-1 TR-2 TR-3 TR-4 DR4 DR5 DcR1 DcR2 Death Receptors “death domains” OPG Decoy Receptors FADD Caspase-8, 10 TR-1 and TR-2 Contain death domains Induce apoptosis Caspase-3, 6, 7 Apoptosis TR-3, TR-4 and OPG Lack death domains La galénique de ces produits de Biotech Lors de la fabrication tenir compte des spécificités de ces produits ( cycle de lyophilisation , temps de stockage ; filtration ) En majorité des solutions sensible à la chaleur , a la lumière et à l’agitation L’apparition possible d’agrégat peut exiger l’utilisation de filtres lors de l’administration Dispositif de sécurité d’aiguille pour éviter tout risque de contamination
