Study Arms (3)

Part A: Single Ascending Dose Cohorts

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in 4 cohorts will receive either AMG 786 or placebo in Single Ascending Doses.

Drug: AMG 786; Other: Placebo

Part A: Food Effect Cohort

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in the food effect cohort (FEC) will receive 1 of 2 AMG 786 in 1 of two sequences. Participants in Sequence 1 will receive a dose of AMG 786 on day 1 under fed conditions followed by a 10-day washout period and another dose of AMG 786 on day 11 under fasted conditions. Participants in Sequence 2 in the FEC cohort will receive the first dose on day 1 under fasted conditions and the second dose on day 11 under fed conditions.

Drug: AMG 786; Other: Placebo

Part B: Multiple Ascending Dose Cohorts

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in 4 cohorts will receive either AMG 786 or placebo in Multiple Ascending Doses.

Drug: AMG 786; Other: Placebo

Data Sharing

• IPD Sharing: Will share
• Shared Documents: STUDY PROTOCOL, SAP, ICF, CSR
• Time Frame: 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.
• Access Criteria: 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.
