Clinical summary

Summary

Eligible participants will be randomly allocated (by chance) to one of two groups.

In the Experimental Group, participants will receive tarlatamab immunotherapy as an intravenous (IV) infusion on Cycle 1 Days 1, 8 and 15, and once every 2 weeks thereafter. A cycle is 28 days.

In the Placebo Comparator Group, participants will recieve a placebo as an IV infusion on Cycle 1 Days 1, 8 and 15 and every 2 weeks thereafter. A cycle is 28 days. 

Conditions

This trial is treating people with limited-stage small cell lung cancer who have completed concurrent chemotherapy and radiation therapy treatment

Eligibility

Inclusion

Participants are eligible to be included in the study only if all of the following criteria apply:

  • Participant has provided informed consent prior to initiation of any study specific activities/procedures.
  • Age ≥ 18 years (or ≥ legal age within the country if it is older than 18 years).
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed small-cell lung cancer (SCLC).
  • Diagnosed and treated for LS-SCLC with concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
  • Has completed chemoradiotherapy without progression per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1 (RECIST 1.1.) (ie, achieved complete response [CR], partial response [PR], or stable disease [SD]).
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) of 0 or 1.
  • Minimum life expectancy of 12 weeks.
  • Adequate organ function.
  • Toxicities attributed to concurrent chemoradiotherapy resolved to grade ≤ 1, unless otherwise specified. Excluding alopecia or fatigue.

Exclusion

Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:

Disease Related

  • Extensive-stage SCLC (ES-SCLC).
  • Any previous diagnosis of transformed non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activating mutation positive NSCLC that has transformed to SCLC, or mixed SCLC NSCLC histology.
  • Evidence of interstitial lung disease or active, non-infectious pneumonitis. Other Medical Conditions
  • History of other malignancy within the past 2 years, with certain exceptions.
  • History of solid organ transplantation.
  • Myocardial infarction and/or symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association > class II) within 6 months prior to first dose of study treatment.
  • History of arterial thrombosis (eg, stroke or transient ischemic attack) within 6 months prior to first dose of study treatment.
  • Exclusion of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and/or hepatitis infection based on criteria per protocol.
  • Participant 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.

Prior/Concomitant Therapy

  • Received sequential chemotherapy and thoracic radiotherapy (no overlap of thoracic radiotherapy with chemotherapy) during chemoradiation.
  • Prior therapy with any selective inhibitor of the delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3) pathway.
  • Prior history of severe or life-threatening events from any immune-mediated therapy.
  • Receiving another anti-cancer therapy. Adjuvant hormonal therapy for resected breast cancer is permitted.
  • Receiving systemic corticosteroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to enrollment.
  • Major surgical procedures within 28 days prior to first dose of study treatment.
  • Treatment with live virus, including live-attenuated vaccination, within 14 days prior to the first dose of study treatment. Inactive vaccines and live viral non-replicating vaccines within 3 days prior to first dose of study treatment.

Prior/Concurrent Clinical Study Experience

• Treatment in an alternative investigational trial within 28 days prior to enrollment.

Other Exclusions

  • Female participants of childbearing potential unwilling to use protocol specified method of contraception during treatment and for an additional 60 days after the last dose of study treatment.
  • Female participants who are breastfeeding or who plan to breastfeed while on study through 60 days after the last dose of study treatment.
  • Female participants planning to become pregnant or donate eggs while on study through 60 days after the last dose of study treatment.
  • Female participants of childbearing potential with a positive pregnancy test assessed at screening by a highly sensitive serum pregnancy test.
