Small Molecules

Amgen is propelling the next generation of targeted small molecules, leveraging our deep knowledge of the human and cancer genome to improve treatment outcomes.

KRAS

KRAS is one of the most common driver mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and nearly 50% of all KRAS mutations in the U.S. are KRAS G12C.1,2,3As the first to drug the KRAS mutation, we continue to advance CodeBreaK – the broadest and most comprehensive global clinical development program for patients with the KRAS G12C mutation – that will allow us to understand where we can best serve patients whose solid tumors harbor this mutation.

FGFR2b

Amgen is developing a potential first-in-class targeted antibody for people with gastric and gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) cancers, otherwise known as stomach cancer, that overexpress a growth receptor called FGFR2b. Despite treatment advances, prognosis remains poor for many patients with advanced G/GEJ.1 FGFR2b is a compelling target, given this protein is overexpressed in 20%-30% of patients with advanced G/GEJ cancer.2,*
