What this study is testing

What is Tarlatamab treatment?

Tarlatamab treatment is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for dll3-expressing tumors.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This study is being done to learn more about the drug tarlatamab in people with your condition. The purpose of this study is to see the efficacy (how well something works) of study treatment (tarlatamab) and whether it causes any side effects.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
