Clinical trial Recruiting at 18 sites Phase 1 Interventional Ages 18 to 90

Tarlatamab plus AB248 for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (DeLLphi-311)

Official title: A Phase 1b Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Efficacy of Tarlatamab in Combination With AB248 in Participants With Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (DeLLphi-311)

Run by Amgen · NCT07037758 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests whether combining tarlatamab with AB248 is safe and tolerable for adults whose extensive-stage small cell lung cancer has progressed after prior therapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with histologically or cytologically confirmed extensive-stage SCLC that progressed after at least one prior anti-cancer therapy, who have measurable disease, adequate organ function, and can provide a tumor biopsy are the intended participants.

Probably not a fit

Patients with symptomatic central nervous system metastases, significant organ dysfunction, or who cannot undergo the required biopsy or travel to trial sites are unlikely to benefit and may be ineligible.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This Phase 1, open-label dose-exploration and expansion trial combines the bispecific T-cell engager tarlatamab with AB248 in adults with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer that progressed after at least one prior systemic therapy. During dose exploration the study will escalate AB248 to determine the recommended dose for expansion and the maximum tolerated combination dose when given with tarlatamab, followed by dose expansion cohorts to further characterize safety and preliminary activity. Key requirements include measurable disease per RECIST 1.1, adequate organ function, and submission of a fresh tumor biopsy when feasible. The trial is sponsored by Amgen with collaborating sites at major US cancer centers.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this combination could provide a new treatment option that improves disease control for patients with recurrent extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

How similar studies have gone: Tarlatamab (AMG 757) has shown promising single-agent activity in prior trials of extensive-stage SCLC, but combining it with AB248 is a novel approach that has not been established.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Participant has provided informed consent before initiation of any study-specific activities/procedures.
2. Participants ≥ 18 years (or ≥ legal age within the country if it is older than 18 years) at the time of signing the informed consent.
3. Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed ES-SCLC that has progressed or recurred following at least 1 line of anti-cancer therapy for ES-SCLC.
4. Participants must have at least 1 measurable lesion as defined by RECIST 1.1 within 21-day screening period, not previously irradiated.
5. Participants must have adequate organ function (hematological, coagulation, cardiac, pulmonary, kidney, and liver).
6. Participants must submit a fresh tumor biopsy at screening unless a new biopsy cannot be performed safely or is infeasible. Participants who cannot provide fresh tissue may provide archival tissue that was collected after last anticancer therapy.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases.
2. Participants with brain metastases may be eligible if criteria defined in the protocol are met.
3. Prior therapy with any delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3)-directed therapy (including tarlatamab).
4. Prior interleukin (IL)-2, IL-7 or IL-15 targeted therapy.
5. Baseline (at rest) requirement of supplemental oxygen.
