Experimental combo therapy targets multiple cancers in new trial

NCT ID NCT06814496

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether adding the drug tarlatamab to standard radiation therapy is safe for people with cancers that have a protein called DLL3, including melanoma, lung cancer, and glioblastoma. About 30 adults with advanced or returning cancers will receive tarlatamab infusions along with radiation, either at the same time or one after the other. The main goal is to check for serious side effects, and a smaller part of the study will look at whether the tumors shrink.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Tarlatamab (a drug that helps immune cells attack cancer) and radiation therapy

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for several hard-to-treat cancers that have a specific protein (DLL3) on their surface.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Combining tarlatamab with radiation could cause serious side effects like inflammation or nerve problems.
