The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/maximum tolerated combination dose (MTCD) or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of AMG 994 as monotherapy and AMG 994 in combination with AMG 404 in participants with advanced solid tumors.

AMG 994 will be administered by short term intravenous (IV) infusion once weekly in each 28-day cycle and AMG 404 will be administered by short-term IV infusion once every 4 weeks (Q4W) in a 28 day cycle (on day 1 of cycle 2 and beyond). The study will be conducted in 2 parts: Part 1 - Dose Exploration and Part 2 - Dose Expansion.

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.
