Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
An inhibitor of induced myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein MCL-1 (myeloid cell leukemia-1), with potential pro-apoptotic and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, AMG 176 binds to and inhibits the activity of MCL-1. This disrupts the formation of MCL-1/Bcl-2-like protein 11 (BCL2L11; BIM) complexes and induces apoptosis in tumor cells. MCL-1, an anti-apoptotic protein belonging to the Bcl-2 family of proteins, is upregulated in cancer cells and promotes tumor cell survival.

Amg 176 has been investigated in 1 clinical trial, of which 1 is open and 0 are closed. Of the trial investigating amg 176, 1 is phase 1 (1 open).

PML-RARA Fusion, t(15;17)(q22;q12), and t(15;17)(q24;q21) are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for amg 176 clinical trials.

Acute myeloid leukemia and multiple myeloma are the most common diseases being investigated in amg 176 clinical trials [2].
