Amgen decided to discontinue study because of a business decision and not because of safety reasons

Evaluate the safety and tolerability of AMG 562 in adult subjects with DLBCL, MCL, or FL. Estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or a biologically active dose (e.g., recommended phase 2 dose [RP2D])

Inclusion Criteria:

• Subject has provided informed consent prior to initiation of any study-specific activities/procedures

• Age ≥ 18 at the time of informed consent.

• Biopsy proven B-NHL including:

  • DLBCL, which also includes DLBCL that represents transformation of indolent NHL (including follicular, marginal zone, and lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma excluding chronic lymphocytic leukemia or Hodgkin Lymphoma) and DLBCL with alterations of MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 also described as double-hit and triple-hit lymphomas.

• Subjects with transformation of indolent lymphoma must have received therapy after a diagnosis of transformation that is appropriate for aggressive histology.

  - Subjects who received prior CD19-targeting treatment are allowed (CAR-T cell therapy is excluded). A biopsy following CD19-targeting treatment is required unless no lesions are accessible or the risk of the biopsy is deemed too high by the investigator For Part 2 (Expansion in patients with DLBCL): only biopsy proven DLBCL (biopsy proven at least at primary diagnosis), including DLBCL that represents transformation of indolent NHL (including follicular, marginal zone, and lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma excluding chronic lymphocytic leukemia or Hodgkin Lymphoma) are eligible.

De-identified individual patient data for variables necessary to address the specific research question in an approved data sharing request

Data sharing requests relating to this study will be considered beginning 18 months after the study has ended and either 1) the product and indication have been granted marketing authorization in both the US and Europe or 2) clinical development for the product and/or indication discontinues and the data will not be submitted to regulatory authorities. There is no end date for eligibility to submit a data sharing request for this study.

Qualified researchers may submit a request containing the research objectives, the Amgen product(s) and Amgen study/studies in scope, endpoints/outcomes of interest, statistical analysis plan, data requirements, publication plan, and qualifications of the researcher(s). In general, Amgen does not grant external requests for individual patient data for the purpose of re-evaluating safety and efficacy issues already addressed in the product labelling. Requests are reviewed by a committee of internal advisors. If not approved, a Data Sharing Independent Review Panel will arbitrate and make the final decision. Upon approval, information necessary to address the research question will be provided under the terms of a data sharing agreement. This may include anonymized individual patient data and/or available supporting documents, containing fragments of analysis code where provided in analysis specifications. Further details are available at the URL below.

The Clinical Trial Agreement generally does not restrict an investigator's discussion of trial results after completion. The Agreement permits Amgen a limited period of time to review material discussing trial results (typically up to 45 days and possible extension). Amgen may remove confidential information, but authors have final control and approval of publication content. For multicenter studies, the investigator agrees not to publish any results before the first multi-center publication.
