Multiple clinical trials have evaluated AMG 337 across Phase 1, Phase 2, and combined Phase 1/2 studies to assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy in advanced solid tumors, stomach neoplasms, clear cell sarcoma, and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinomas. Sponsored by entities including Amgen, NantPharma, LLC, and the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, completed investigations include a first-in-human study and a trial in Asian subjects with gastric neoplasms. However, several clinical trials evaluating MET-amplified gastric cancers or specific advanced solid tumors were ultimately terminated or withdrawn.

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile
Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards
| Quality Dimension | RUO (Research Use Only) | cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice) |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical Applicability | Prohibited in human clinical trials or medical diagnostics. | Mandatory for human clinical trials (Phase I–III) and therapies. |
| Regulatory Status | Non-regulated grade; exempt from drug manufacturing laws. | Legally enforced by health authorities (e.g., FDA, EMA, NMPA). |
| Facility Environment | Unclassified analytical or research laboratories. | Validated Cleanrooms (ISO Class 5–8) with continuous monitoring. |
| Quality Control | Basic purity and activity testing. | Rigorous safety release testing (Sterility, Endotoxin, Mycoplasma). |
| Process Validation | Basic equipment calibration; no process validation required. | Full qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ) and complete batch records. |
| Quality Assurance | Vendor self-declared without required formal QMS. | Mandatory QA/QC unit, Change Control, CAPA, and vendor audits. |
| Regulatory Impact | High risk of IND rejection if used as a critical raw material. | Required for IND/NDA filings, supported by Drug Master Files (DMF). |
