Evaluating Tarlatamab for Small Cell Lung Cancer

A Phase 2, Open-label, Randomized, Multicenter Study of Tarlatamab Dosing Regimens in Subjects With Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) (DeLLphi-309)

Phase 2 Interventional Amgen · NCT06745323

This study is testing a new treatment called tarlatamab to see if it can help adults with small cell lung cancer who have not responded to previous treatments.

What this trial studies

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of tarlatamab, a novel treatment, in patients diagnosed with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) who have experienced disease progression or relapse after initial treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to different dosing regimens of tarlatamab to determine the optimal approach for antitumor activity. The study will include adults aged 18 and older with measurable disease and adequate organ function, ensuring a thorough evaluation of the treatment's impact on SCLC.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults with histologically confirmed SCLC who have progressed after one platinum-based chemotherapy regimen.

Not a fit: Patients with transformed non-small cell lung cancer or symptomatic central nervous system metastases may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced small cell lung cancer.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is being explored in this specific context, similar studies with novel therapies for SCLC have shown promise, indicating potential for success.
