What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing a new drug called tarlatamab, which helps the immune system find and attack cancer cells, when given together with standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The study includes about 184 people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer who have not had prior treatment for this stage. The main goal is to check safety and side effects, while also looking at whether the combination helps shrink tumors or delay cancer progression.

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 the immune system attack cancer cells) combined with chemotherapy (carboplatin, etoposide) and an immunotherapy (atezolizumab or durvalumab)
What this could lead to
If this combination proves safe and effective, it could offer a new first-line treatment option for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, potentially improving how long they live or delaying cancer growth.
What could go wrong
This is an early phase 1b trial focused on safety, so it is too soon to know if the combination works better than current treatments. Side effects from combining multiple drugs could be significant, and the results may not lead to a standard therapy.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participant has provided informed consent prior to initiation of any study specific activities/procedures. * Age greater than or equal to 18 years old at the same time of signing the informed consent. * Histologically or cytologically confirmed Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC) and no prior systemic treatment for ES-SCLC. * Participants with prior treatment for limited-stage SCLC (LS-SCLC) are permitted. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0 to 1. * Participants with treated asymptomatic brain metastases are eligible provided they meet defined criteria. * Adequate organ function as defined in protocol. Exclusion Criteria: * History of other malignancy within the past 2 years with exceptions. * Major surgery within 28 days of study day 1. * Untreated or symptomatic brain metastases and leptomeningeal disease. * Participants who experienced recurrent grade 2 pneumonitis or severe or life-threatening immune-mediated adverse events or infusion-related reactions including those that lead to permanent discontinuation while on treatment with immuno-oncology agents. * History of immune-related colitis. * History or evidence of interstitial lung disease or active, non-infectious pneumonitis. * Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving systemic steroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of study treatment. * Participants with symptoms and/or clinical signs and/or radiographic signs that indicate an acute and/or uncontrolled active systemic infection within 7 days prior to the first dose of study treatment * Participant has known active infection requiring parenteral antibiotic treatment. Upon completion of parenteral antibiotics and resolution of symptoms, the participant 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 an active treatment and after consultation with Medical Monitor. Participants requiring oral antibiotics who have been afebrile for \>24 hours, have no leukocytosis, nor clinical signs of infection are eligible. Screening for chronic infectious conditions is not required. * History of hypophysitis or pituitary dysfunction. * History of solid organ transplantation or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. * Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment (except replacement therapy) within the past 2 years or any other diseases requiring immunosuppressive therapy while on study. Participants with Type I diabetes, vitiligo, psoriasis, hypo- or hyper-thyroid disease not requiring immunosuppressive treatment are permitted.
