a phase 2 study of tarlatamab in patients with small cell lung cancer (sclc)

Conditions: Relapsed/Refractory Small Cell Lung Cancer

Summary: the main aim of this study is to: * evaluate safety and efficacy (per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors version 1.1 \[recist 1.1\] by investigator) of 2 dose levels of tarlatamab for part 1 only * evaluate anti-tumor activity of tarlatamab as determined by objective response rate (orr) per recist 1.1 by blinded independent central review (bicr) for part 1 and 2 * evaluate safety of reduced mandatory monitoring period in cycle 1 at selected dose of tarlatamab for part 3
