New hope for lung cancer patients: maintenance drug aims to keep disease at bay
NCT ID NCT07242547
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a drug called tarlatamab as a maintenance treatment for people with limited-stage small cell lung cancer who cannot receive standard combined chemotherapy and radiation. After completing chemotherapy with or without radiation, participants who have not gotten worse will receive tarlatamab intravenously until their disease progresses or side effects become unacceptable. The main goal is to see how long the drug can delay cancer growth or death.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically or cytologically documented new diagnosis of LS-SCLC by histology or cytology from brushing, washing, or needle aspiration. Mixed tumors are not eligible. * Patients who: 1. were treated with sequential chemo-radiotherapy 2. were treated only with chemotherapy * Have at least one lesion that meets criteria for being measurable or non-measurable, as defined by RECIST 1.1. * Has completed chemo-radiation or chemotherapy alone without progression of disease per RECIST v1.1 * Be male or female ≥18 years of age inclusive, on the day of signing informed consent. * Have a life expectancy of at least 3 months from the study start. * Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2 within 7 days prior to the first dose of study intervention. * Toxicities attributed to chemo-radiotherapy treatment have to be resolved to grade ≤1, unless otherwise specified. * No clinically significant electrocardiogram (ECG) findings * Correct pulmonary function without oxygen supplementation * Have voluntarily agreed to participate by giving written consent for the study prior to any specific protocol procedures. * Have adequate organ function (hematological and biochemistry parameters). Exclusion Criteria: * Patients expected to require any other form of radiation therapy for LS-SCLC as concurrent radiotherapy. * Extensive-stage SCLC (ES-SCLC) or any previous diagnosis of transformed non-small cell lung cancer.
