Back to HomepageAmgen is committed to serving the needs of patients facing serious illness. We work to advance this mission by developing novel therapies, and also by supporting externally sponsored clinical research. We are happy to receive, review, and respond to unsolicited proposals from qualified health care professionals, scientists, and researchers with promising ideas in areas of mutual scientific interest. The investigator sponsored studies to which we extend support are those that are based on scientifically sound proposals to advance science, clinical medicine, and patient care. We also expect results from any externally sponsored research that Amgen supports to be communicated in appropriate scientific forums, including peer-reviewed publications. This website provides information to researchers interested in submitting a proposal to Amgen for an Investigator Sponsored Study. Click here for more information on Amgen’s pipeline.

For interventional studies, where appropriate, the ISS sponsor or appointed representative will hold the Investigational New Drug (IND) application or equivalent clinical trial authorization and be responsible for overseeing the study and/or administering study drug to human subjects.
