Vivek Subbiah shared on X:
Today the US FDA granted accelerated approval to tarlatamab-dlle (Imdelltra, Amgen, Inc.) for extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) with disease progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy.
Tarlatamab = bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE), a two-armed drug that simultaneously latches onto tumor cells and T cells, bringing them close together and helping the T cells recognize and destroy cancer cells.”
