About This Extensive Stage Lung Small Cell Carcinoma Study in Columbus

This phase II trial tests the effect of tarlatamab in treating patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) that has spread from where it first started to other parts of the body (extensive-stage). SCLC is an aggressive cancer that has a low 5-year survival rate. Tarlatamab is a bispecific antibody that can bind to two different antigens at the same time. Tarlatamab binds to DLL3, a protein found on the surface of some types of tumor cells, including small-cell lung cancer, and to CD3, which is present on immune system T-cells (a type of white blood cell), and may interfere with tumor cell ability to grow and spread. This may increase the time to progression (growing, spreading, or worsening) and help patients with extensive-stage SCLC live longer.

As determined by the enrolling physician or protocol designee, the ability of the subject to understand and comply with study procedures for the entire length of the study

Availability of archival tissue, preferably a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue block (or ideally at least 15 newly cut unstained slides). For eligibility, only confirmation of archival tissue is needed. Verification of tumor burden in the biopsy is encouraged. For optimal biomarker results, tumor content should be \> 30% of total tissue area

Be willing to provide peripheral blood samples at specified time-points during the study

Exclusion Criteria

Subject has known active infection requiring parenteral antibiotic treatment. Upon completion of parenteral antibiotics and resolution of symptoms, the subject may be considered eligible for the study from an infection standpoint

NOTE: Simple urinary tract infections and uncomplicated bacterial pharyngitis are permitted if responding to active treatment and after consultation with sponsor. Subjects requiring oral antibiotics who have been afebrile for \> 72 hours, have no leukocytosis, nor clinical signs of infection are eligible.
