Compares treatment options for Neuroendocrine Carcinoma
Official title Tarlatamab vs Standard of Care Chemotherapy in Patients With Pre-treated Advanced, Pulmonary or Gastroenteropancreatic Poorly Differentiated Neuroendocrine Carcinomas (NECs)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06937905
What this study is testing
What is Tarlatamab?
Tarlatamab is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for neuroendocrine carcinoma.
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
- Based on the efficacy of tarlatamab in patients with small-cell lung cancer, we aim to assess the efficacy of tarlatamab in patients with Advanced, pulmonary (large-cell only) or gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
