ESMO 2024: Targeting the Treatment Challenges of Small Cell Lung Cancer - Episode 8
Panelists discuss how tarlatamab could serve as a promising combination therapy for previously treated small cell lung cancer, highlighting its potential clinical benefits when paired with durvalumab as maintenance therapy after standard regimens, and emphasizing the importance of statistically significant trial end points to encourage its adoption in community oncology practices.
Video content above is prompted by the following:
8. Dr Leal: In your opinion, what is the future treatment potential of tarlatamab as combination therapy with other anticancer agents for previously treated small cell lung cancer (SCLC) that has advanced after 2 or more lines of prior therapy?
9. Dr Sen: What further clinical benefits might we anticipate for patients with extensive-stage SCLC by adding tarlatamab to durvalumab as maintenance therapy after primary treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy+etoposide+durvalumab?
What statistically significant trial end points might persuade community oncologists to consider dual maintenance with a bispecific T-cell engager and a PD-L1 inhibitor?
