Las Nuevas Pautas del National Comprehensive Cáncer Network Recomiendan TARLATAMAB Como una Opción de SEGUNDA LÍNEA Para el SMALL CELL LUNG CÁNCER en Etapa Extensiva ( ES )  Sensible y Resistente al PLATINO Debido a su Respuesta Duradera y su Perfil de Seguridad .

SECOND LINE An Later Treatment Options For SMALL CELLS LUNG CÁNCER ARE LIMITED .

 
TARLATAMAB Offers a New Approach to SMALL CELL LUNG CÁNCER THERAPY , Demonstrating Long-Lasting Responses and Tolerable Adverse Effects in Pretreated Patients .

SMALL CELL LUNG CÁNCER (SCLC) is a highly proliferative malignancy and the most aggressive type of lung cancer, accounting for 15% of bronchogenic carcinomas worldwide .

 Although the overall incidence of and mortality rate for SCLC have decreased over the last several decades, the 5-year survival rate continues to be poor, at less than 10% .

SCLC is known to be responsive to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but more recent developments indicate that it is also responsive to immunotherapy, although less so than other types of cancer .

Patients with SCLC treated with platinum-based therapy in the first-line setting may be retreated with platinum-based therapy if the platinum-free interval has been more than 6 months ; those with SCLC who are platinum resistant may be treated with agents such as LURBINECTEDIN ( ZEPZELCA; JAZZ PHARMACEUTICALS, Inc ), which has demonstrated a response rate of 35.2% or greater depending on the chemotherapy-free interval but a short duration of response (DOR; median, 5.3 months) .

Because the historical standard of care for SCLC ( ie, chemoimmunotherapy ) produces high initial response rates that are short-lived—particularly for extensive-stage SCLC—there remains an unmet need for more effective treatment options with durable responses, particularly once initial therapy has failed .

In May 2024, the FDA Granted Accelerated APPROVAL To TARLATAMAB - DLL3 ( IMDELLTRA; AMGEN Inc ) for the Treatment of adult patients with extensive-stage SCLC with disease progression on or after at least 1 Platinum-based chemotherapy .

 The APPROVAL was based on the agent demonstrating long-lasting responses in pretreated patients and made TARLATAMAB the first bispecific T-cell engager therapy for SCLC . ...
