A Study of Hospital-at-Home for People Receiving Tarlatamab
What this study is about
The purpose of this study is to find out whether a Hospital-at-Home (HaH) program is a more efficient way to monitor people's health after receiving tarlatamab than monitoring in the hospital (inpatient).

Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Diagnosis of extensive stage small cell lung carcinoma (ES-SCLC)
- Treatment plan of commercially available tarlatamab monotherapy as standard of care
- Patients must be 18 years of age or older
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status \<2
- Patients must have adequate organ and bone marrow function, defined by the following laboratory results obtained within 28 days prior to the first study treatment:
- ANC ≥ 1000 cells/μL (without granulocyte colony stimulating factor support within 4 weeks prior to Cycle 1, Day 1)
- Platelet count ≥50,000/μL (without transfusion within 4 weeks prior to Cycle 1, Day 1)
- Hemoglobin ≥8.0 g/dL (without transfusion within 4 weeks prior to Cycle 1, Day 1)
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3 X upper limit of normal (ULN). Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN. Patients with known Gilbert disease who have serum bilirubin level ≤ 2 x ULN may be enrolled.
- Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) ≥ 30mL/min using the CKD-EPI formula.
- The patient is willing to give and sign informed consent
- Appropriate homebound setting as defined by one of the following:
- Lodging at MSK Residence or hotel
- 5 New York City boroughs, lower Westchester County (northern boundary Cross County Parkway) and Nassau County (eastern boundary Wantagh State Parkway). This is based on the community paramedic (SeniorCare) 60-minute response time catchment area. If there is any uncertainty about patient residence eligibility, the Principal Investigator will decide after discussion with SeniorCare.
- Patients must be accompanied by a caregiver for the period of time the patient is enrolled in the HaH intervention. For cases where there is uncertainty, the Principal Investigator will make the final determination. Caregiver
- Primary caregiver as identified by patient enrolled on study Physician
- Treating physician for patient(s) enrolled on study; managing treatment plan of commercially available tarlatamab as standard of care
Exclusion criteria
- Patients with a documented active infection prior to starting tarlatamab. This includes grade 3 or higher viral, bacterial, or fungal infection.
- Patients with baseline dementia or cognitive barriers
- Uncontrolled arrhythmias Caregiver
- Caregiver deemed inappropriate by treating physician Physician
- No exclusion criteria

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
