PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: ARWR) today announced that it has earned a $10 million milestone payment from Amgen following the administration of the first dose of AMG 890, formerly referred to as ARO-LPA, in a clinical study. Amgen is evaluating AMG 890 in a Phase 1 clinical study designed to assess its safety in volunteers with elevated levels of lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)). Emerging research has shown that elevated levels of Lp(a) are strongly associated with cardiovascular disease.

Arrowhead plans to seek federal regulatory approval to start clinical trials on three more products before the end of the year. Two are cardiometabolic ? referring to cardiovascular disease and diabetes ? and one targets cystic fibrosis, said Vincent Anzalone, vice president of finance and investor relations. A prospective drug against kidney cancer is on the agenda for 2019 and there is ?a handful of others beyond that,? he said, all built on the targeted RNAi molecule platform.
