Amgen,  Inc.  Analyst  Notes

On March 14, 2014, Amgen, Inc. (Amgen) announced findings from a pre-specified retrospective analysis of patients with metastatic melanoma. The findings showed that talimogene laherparepvec has reduced the size of injected tumors and also non-injected tumors that had metastasized to other parts of the body. The Company reported that the analysis recorded tumor-level responses from a pivotal Phase 3 study evaluating talimogene laherparepvec in patients with injectable unresected stage IIIB, IIIC, or IV melanoma compared to granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). "These data add to the body of evidence supporting talimogene laherparepvec's local and distant effect, and its potential ability to stimulate a systemic anti-tumor immune response," said Sean E. Harper, M.D., Executive Vice President of Research and Development at Amgen. "Melanoma remains a devastating and difficult-to-treat disease, and talimogene laherparepvec continues to demonstrate encouraging results in this setting."
