Tarlatamab + AB248 for Small Cell Lung Cancer
(DeLLphi-311 Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores a new treatment combination for small cell lung cancer that has returned or worsened after at least one prior treatment. Researchers aim to determine the safest dose of two drugs, tarlatamab and AB248, when used together, and to assess patient tolerance. The trial consists of two parts: one to explore different doses and another to test the optimal dose identified. It seeks participants whose cancer has returned and who have at least one measurable tumor that can be tracked during the study. As a Phase 1 trial, the research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new treatment combination.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research shows that the combination of tarlatamab and AB248 is under study to assess its safety and tolerability. As this study is in the early stages, researchers focus on determining the right dose that can be taken without serious side effects.
In other studies, tarlatamab has been tested with different drugs and found to be generally safe, with manageable side effects. However, its use with AB248 is new, so specific safety details are still being determined.
For those considering joining this trial, it's important to know that early trials are designed to closely monitor participants' reactions to the treatment. This approach helps ensure safety and identify the best dose.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Unlike the standard of care for small cell lung cancer, which often includes chemotherapy and radiation, the combination of Tarlatamab and AB248 offers a novel approach. Tarlatamab is a bispecific T-cell engager that targets cancer cells, potentially improving the immune system's ability to fight the cancer. AB248 acts as an enhancer, which could boost the effectiveness of Tarlatamab. Researchers are excited because this combination has the potential to provide a more targeted and effective treatment option with possibly fewer side effects compared to traditional therapies.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for small cell lung cancer?
This trial will study the combination of tarlatamab and AB248 for small cell lung cancer. Research has shown that tarlatamab may benefit patients with this condition. Specifically, studies have demonstrated that using tarlatamab with anti–PD-L1 drugs significantly improved survival rates for those with advanced small cell lung cancer. AB248 is being tested with tarlatamab in this trial to potentially enhance the treatment's effectiveness. This combination aims to strengthen the body's immune system to fight cancer cells. While more research is needed, early results suggest this combination could be promising for patients.13678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults over 18 with confirmed extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) that's worsened after treatment. They need a measurable tumor not previously treated by radiation, adequate organ function, and must provide a new or archival biopsy.Inclusion Criteria
Timeline for a Trial Participant
Screening
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial
Dose Exploration
Multiple dose levels of AB248 will be explored in combination with tarlatamab administered via intravenous (IV) infusion
Dose Expansion
The dose expansion part will test tarlatamab in combination with the MTCD/recommended dose for expansion of AB248 identified in the dose exploration part
Follow-up
Participants are monitored for safety and effectiveness after treatment
What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?
Interventions
- AB248
- Tarlatamab
Trial Overview
The study tests the safety and tolerability of combining two drugs: Tarlatamab and AB248. It aims to find the best dose for further research or the highest dose patients can tolerate without severe side effects.
How Is the Trial Designed?

Experimental Treatment
Multiple dose levels of AB248 will be explored in combination with tarlatamab administered via intravenous (IV) infusion.
The dose expansion part will test tarlatamab in combination with the MTCD/recommended dose for expansion of AB248 identified in the dose exploration part. An optional cohort may be opened based on emerging data to study tarlatamab in combination with AB248 at a lower dose than the MTCD/recommended dose for expansion or with an alternative dose regimen at a AB248 dose lower than or equal to MTCD/recommended dose for expansion.
