The study looked at how effective and safe a medicine called tarlatamab was in participants with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Participants previously received at least two other treatments for their SCLC. Tarlatamab is a new medicine that locates a protein called DLL3 on the cancer, which allows T cells to attack the cancer. T cells belong to the body's natural defense system known as the immune system. The DeLLphi-301 study separated participants into two groups to receive tarlatamab 10 mg or 100 mg to determine which dose best shrank SCLC with minimal side effects. All participants received a small first dose (1 mg tarlatamab) to decrease the risk of an immune system reaction called cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Tarlatamab was given through the participant's vein once every 2 weeks. This method of administration is known as intravenous (IV) infusion.</p><p><strong>What were the results of the dellphi-301 study?: </strong>In the group given 10 mg tarlatamab, 40% of participants responded to treatment (cancer shrank).

After taking tarlatamab at either dose, 59% of participants lived for at least 6 months without their cancer growing or getting worse.The most common side effect was CRS, which occurred in 51% of participants in the group given 10 mg tarlatamab and 61% of participants in the group given 100 mg tarlatamab. Other common side effects were decreased appetite, fever, constipation, and anemia.

The LOTIS-2 study was conducted from August 2018 to September 2022.Participants received loncastuximab tesirine, also referred to as Lonca, for up to 1 year, or longer if the treatment was working, and their health was monitored.

Researchers estimated that 83% of participants whose disease shrank completely remained disease free for at least 1 year.Nearly all participants had a side effect from Lonca treatment.
