An Ascending Multiple Dose Study Evaluating AMG 167 in Healthy Men and Postmenopausal Women With Low Bone Mineral Density
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and potential immune response of AMG 167 following multiple subcutaneous (SC, injection under the skin) dose administrations in healthy men and postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density.

Placebo Comparator: A Two (2) women in each of cohorts 1 and 4, and two (2) men in cohort 2 will receive placebo every 2 weeks for a total of 6 doses. Two (2) women in each of cohorts 3 and 5, and two (2) men in cohort 6 will receive placebo every 4 weeks for a total of 3 doses. Six (6) women in cohort 7 will receive placebo every 2 weeks for a total of 12 doses. In addition, subjects in cohorts 4 have the option to receive an additional 6 doses of placebo; subjects in cohorts 5 and 6 have the option to receive an additional 3 doses. Subjects in cohort 7 have the option to transition to 6 months of alendronate treatment. |
Drug: AMG 167
Subjects will be randomized to receive one of 3 doses of AMG 167 or equivalent volume of placebo administered at once every two-week or once every four-week dosing intervals. Postmenopausal women will receive AMG 167 in one of 3 fixed doses, while men will receive AMG 167 in one of 2 fixed doses by injection under the skin.

Active Comparator: B Six (6) women in each of cohorts 1 and 4, and six (6) men in cohort 2 will receive AMG 167 every 2 weeks for a total of 6 doses. Six (6) women in each of cohorts 3 and 5, and six (6) men in cohort 6 will receive AMG 167 every 4 weeks for a total of 3 doses. Eighteen (18) women in cohort 7 will receive AMG 167 every 2 weeks for a total of 12 doses. In addition, subjects in cohorts 4 have the option to receive an additional 6 doses of AMG 167; subjects in cohorts 5 and 6 have the option to receive an additional 3 doses. Subjects in cohort 7 have the option to transition to 6 months of alendronate treatment. |
Drug: Placebo

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The number (percent) of subjects experiencing clinically significant changes in safety laboratory tests, physical examinations, vital signs, or electrocardiograms (ECGs) [168, 252, or 336 days following initial investigational product administration]
- The number (percent) of subjects reporting treatment-emergent adverse events [168, 252, or 336 days following initial investigational product administration]
- The number (percent) of subjects who develop anti-AMG 167 antibodies [168, 252, or 336 days following initial investigational product administration]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Pharmacodynamic parameters [bone mineral density as assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), serum procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), osteocalcin, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP), and serum CTX levels] and sclerostin [168, 252, or 336 days following initial investigational product administration]
- Pharmacokinetics [168, 252, or 336 days following initial investigational product administration]
