Lung cancer patients may skip hospital stays with new home monitoring program

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: Patient * 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: Patient * 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
