  2. Conflict of Interest • Dr. Karlan has no conflicts of interest • Conduct of the trial was funded in part by Amgen, Inc.

  3. Effective Treatments For Recurrent Ovarian Cancer Are Urgently Needed • 80% of women diagnosed with late stage ovarian cancer will experience recurrence and eventually die from their disease • The goals of second-line chemotherapy for recurrent disease include palliation of symptoms, preservation of quality of life, and prolongation of progression-free survival • Median PFS in platinum-sensitive disease is 9.4-11.3 months1 and in platinum-resistant disease is 3.7-4.0 months2 in the recurrent setting • There is a great need for new and more effective treatments for women with recurrent ovarian cancer • Angiogenesis is an attractive therapeutic target • Pujade-Lauraine E.

  4. The Angiopoietin Axis • Angiogenesis is a complex process that may be regulated by a number of different factors (eg, VEGF and angiopoietins)1 • Angiopoietins interact with the Tie2 receptor, which mediates vascular remodeling1,2 • Ang1 promotes vessel stabilizationby increasing endothelial junctions and pericyte coverage3,4 • Ang2 blocks Ang1’s blood vessel stabilizing action and increases angiogenesis and vascularity in tumors4,5 • Ang2 is upregulated in many ovarian cancers6 • Papapetropoulos A, et al.

  5. AMG 386 (63.5 kD) is a first-in-class recombinant peptide-Fc fusion protein (peptibody) A peptibody is a novel proprietary platform technologythat fuses a specific peptide with the Fc region of IgG In preclinical studies, AMG 386 inhibited thegrowth of human xenograft tumors in mice1 In the first-in-human (FIH) study, AMG 386was well tolerated and had a safety profilethat was distinct from that of VEGF-axis inhibitors2 A patient with recurrent ovarian cancer had a durable partial response (PR) per RECIST which was maintained until she withdrew from the study at week 1562 AMG 386: Recombinant Peptibody That Binds and Neutralizes Ang1 and Ang2 • Oliner J, et al.

  6. Study Objectives Primary • To estimate the progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer receiving weekly paclitaxel combined with either AMG 386, at 3 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg, or placebo Secondary Included • To estimate the treatment effect as measured by ORR (RECIST and CA-125) • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of AMG 386 combined with paclitaxel • To evaluate the incidence of AMG 386 antibodies • To evaluate AMG 386 PK when combined with paclitaxel

  7. Study 20060342 Schema R A N D O M I Z A T I O N Arm A AMG 386 10 mg/kg IV weekly • Tumor assessments: • CT or MRI scans of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis every 8 weeks • CA-125 lab values, centrally every 8 weeks and locally as needed Paclitaxel* Arm B AMG 386 3 mg/kg IV weekly Treatment until: • Progressive Disease (PD) • Unacceptable toxicity • Consent withdrawn Paclitaxel Arm C Placebo IV weekly Open-label AMG 386 10 mg/kg IV weekly PD Paclitaxel *Paclitaxel80 mg/m2 IV weekly, 3 weeks on/1 week off This study was conducted at 38 sites in 5 countries 161 patients were randomized

  8. Key Eligibility Criteria • Histologically or cytologically documented epithelial ovarian (FIGO stage II-IV), fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer • Radiographically documented progression per RECIST or CA-125 (GCIG Criteria) • Measurable or non-measurable disease • ≤ 3 previous anticancer therapies, but at least one platinum-containing regimen • Adequate renal and hepatic function • GOG performance status of 0 or 1

  12. Progression-Free Survival* *PFS is defined as time from randomization to disease progression per RECIST, CA-125 (GCIG criteria), clinical progression, or death.

  13. PFS Hazard Ratios by Subgroup* Arm A (AMG 386 10 mg/kg)vs Arm C (placebo) Arm B (AMG 386 3 mg/kg)vs Arm C (placebo) *HRs with 80% confidence intervals.

  14. Objective Response per RECIST

  15. Best CA-125 Response † †One value was truncated at 300 (ie 468) ‡ ‡One value was truncated at 300 (ie 488)

  16. AMG 386 PK and Antibodies AMG 386 PK • AMG 386 exhibits dose-proportional PK properties at 3 and 10 mg/kg • AMG 386 mean Cmax and Cmin values were comparable to those seen in the phase 1 first-in-human (FIH) monotherapy study and were not impacted by the paclitaxel coadministration AMG 386 antibodies in AMG 386-treated patients (pts) • 3.3% of evaluated pts developed anti-AMG 386 binding antibodies • 2.4% of evaluated pts had preexisting anti-AMG 386 binding antibodies • No neutralizing anti-AMG 386 antibodies were detected

  17. PFS by Exposure1 1Lu JF, et al. Poster presented at ASCO 2010, June 4-8, 2010; Chicago, IL; Abstract # 5042

  18. Adverse Events Occurring in ≥ 25% of Patients

  19. Grade ≥ 3 Adverse Events Where Percent Difference* From Placebo is ≥ 5% None of these Grade ≥ 3 events had a statistically significant incident rate (P < 0.05) when comparing the AMG 386 treatment arm with the placebo arm.

  20. Selected Adverse Events of Specific Interest None of these events had a statistically significant incident rate (P < 0.05) when comparing the AMG 386 treatment arm with the placebo arm.

  21. Conclusions • The combination of AMG 386 and paclitaxel showed encouraging evidence of antitumor activity in patients with advanced ovarian cancer • The primary endpoint (PFS) was met. Based on exposure-response analysis, it appears that the maximum effective dose may not have been reached at 10 mg/kg1 • Further investigation using higher doses of AMG 386 for the treatment of patients with ovarian cancer is warranted • The adverse event profile was generally manageable and distinct from that of VEGF axis inhibitors 1Lu JF, et al.
