Tarlatamab + Durvalumab for Lung Cancer
(DeLLphi-305 Trial)
Trial Summary
The trial does not specify if you must stop taking your current medications, but you cannot be on systemic corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive therapy within 14 days before starting the study treatment. It's best to discuss your specific medications with the study team.
Durvalumab, used in various cancer treatments, has shown some safety concerns, including immune-related side effects like pneumonitis (lung inflammation), colitis (inflammation of the colon), and thyroid issues. In studies, most side effects were mild, but some serious cases, including treatment-related deaths, were reported. The combination with other drugs like tremelimumab increased the risk of severe side effects.
12345The combination of Tarlatamab and Durvalumab is unique because it involves using two immune-based therapies together, where Durvalumab is an anti-PD-L1 inhibitor that helps the immune system attack cancer cells, and Tarlatamab is a novel agent that may enhance this effect. This approach aims to improve outcomes in lung cancer by leveraging the body's immune response more effectively than traditional treatments.
