Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
An orally bioavailable inhibitor of the proto-oncogene c-Met with potential antineoplastic activity. c-Met inhibitor AMG 337 selectively binds to c-Met, thereby disrupting c-Met signal transduction pathways. This may induce cell death in tumor cells overexpressing c-Met protein or expressing constitutively activated c-Met protein. c-Met protein, the product of the proto-oncogene c-Met, is a receptor tyrosine kinase also known as hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR); this protein is overexpressed or mutated in many tumor cell types and plays key roles in tumor cell proliferation, survival, invasion, and metastasis, and tumor angiogenesis.

Amg 337 has been investigated in 2 clinical trials, of which 1 is open and 1 is closed. Of the trials investigating amg 337, 2 are phase 2 (1 open).

EWSR1-ATF1 Fusion, MET Exon 14 Skipping, and MET Overexpression are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for amg 337 clinical trials.

Clear cell sarcoma of soft tissue and malignant solid tumor are the most common diseases being investigated in amg 337 clinical trials [2].
