Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug to see if it is safe and effective when used with other drugs to treat cancer.

Who is the study for?
Adults with untreated Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC) can join this trial. They should have had no prior systemic treatment for ES-SCLC, may have treated brain metastases if stable, and must be generally healthy with good organ function and performance status (ECOG 0-1). People who've had major surgery recently, other cancers within 2 years, severe immune reactions to cancer immunotherapy, active autoimmune diseases needing treatment or any form of immunosuppression are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the safety of a new drug called Tarlatamab combined with Carboplatin and Etoposide chemotherapy drugs plus a PD-L1 inhibitor like Durvalumab or Atezolizumab in patients. It's an early-phase trial to see how well participants tolerate this combination therapy as a first-line treatment for ES-SCLC.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune system reactions that could affect organs like lungs causing pneumonitis, infusion-related reactions during drug administration, potential worsening of autoimmune diseases due to immune stimulation by the drugs being tested.
