Tarlatamab treatment for extensive stage small cell lung cancer

A Phase 1b Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Preliminary Anti-Tumor Activity of Subcutaneous Tarlatamab in Subjects With Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (DeLLphi-308)

Phase 1 Interventional Amgen · NCT06598306

This study is testing a new treatment called tarlatamab for people with extensive stage small cell lung cancer who haven't had success with previous chemotherapy to see if it helps them feel better.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the safety and tolerability of subcutaneous tarlatamab in participants with extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). The study involves administering tarlatamab to patients who have experienced disease progression after at least one line of platinum-based chemotherapy. Participants will be monitored for adverse effects and overall response to the treatment. The trial aims to gather data on the efficacy of this novel therapy in a challenging cancer type.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with confirmed extensive stage small cell lung cancer who have progressed after prior platinum-based therapy.

Not a fit: Patients who have previously received DLL3 targeted therapy may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

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

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is novel, previous studies targeting DLL3 in small cell lung cancer have shown promise, indicating potential for success.

Eligibility criteria

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

* Participants ≥ 18 years of age (or ≥ legal adult age within country if it is older than 18 years) at time of signing informed consent.
* Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed ES-SCLC that progressed or recurred following at least one line of platinum-based anti-cancer therapy for SCLC.

Note: Participants with prior treatment for LS-SCLC should have also received another regimen for their recurrent, ES-SCLC disease.

* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) of 0 or 1.
* Participants must have adequate organ function (cardiac, pulmonary, kidney, and liver).
* Participants must be able to have SC injections administered in the abdomen.
* Participants without measurable disease or tumor tissue (fresh biopsy or archival) available may be permitted after discussion with and approval by Amgen Medical Monitor.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Participants that have received prior DLL3 targeted therapy.
* Participants with untreated or symptomatic brain metastases or those requiring therapy with steroids.
* Note: Participants with asymptomatic brain metastatic lesions are allowed following definitive treatment (Amgen Medical Monitor may approve untreated, asymptomatic brain metastasis if local therapy is not required per investigator judgment).
* Participants with leptomeningeal disease.
* Participants with baseline oxygen requirement.
