Phase 3 Trial of Tarlatamab (SC vs IV) in Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer After Platinum Based First-line Chemotherapy (ES-SCLC)

A Phase 3, Open-Label, Multicenter, Randomized Study of Subcutaneous vs Intravenous Tarlatamab in Participants With Relapsed Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer After Platinum-based First-line Chemotherapy (DeLLphi-315)

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 17 Sept 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority in pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of subcutaneous (SC) vs intravenous (IV) tarlatamab administration and to characterize the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of SC tarlatamab in participants with relapsed extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) after platinum-based chemotherapy.

  • History of arterial thrombosis (e.g., stroke or transient ischemic attack) within 6 months prior to first dose of study treatment.
  • Symptoms and/or radiographic signs that indicate an acute and/or uncontrolled active systemic infection requiring antibiotics within 7 days prior to the first dose study treatment.
  • Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring recurrent drainage procedures.
    • Prior/Concomitant Therapy
  • Prior systemic anticancer therapy within 30 days of enrolment
  • Prior history of severe or life-threatening events from any immune-mediated therapy.
  • Receiving systemic corticosteroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 14 days prior to first dose of study treatment.
  • Live and live-attenuated vaccines within 28 days prior to the start of study treatment.
  • Receiving another anticancer therapy for a malignancy other than SCLC.
  • More than 1 prior line of anticancer therapy for SCLC.
  • Participation in a tarlatamab clinical trial or prior therapy with any selective inhibitor of the delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3) pathway.
  • Treatment in an alternative investigational trial within 28 days prior to enrolment.

Other illness

  • Disease Related
  • Other Medical Conditions
  • Current evidence or history of non-infectious pneumonitis/ILD (interstitial lung disease) that required steroids or other immunosuppressive treatment.
  • History of other malignancy within the past 2 years, with exceptions defined in the protocol.
  • Presence or history of viral infection based on criteria per protocol.
  • History of solid organ transplantation.
  • History of allergy or hypersensitivity to similar products (eg, drugs with a similar chemical structure or other monoclonal antibody) or any excipient.
    • Other Exclusions
  • History or evidence of any other clinically significant disorder, condition, or disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, would pose a risk to participant safety.

Lab values

  • \- Any previous diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activating mutation that has transformed to SCLC, or mixed SCLC and NSCLC histology, with exceptions defined in the protocol.

Other
