Amy Moore: BIG DEAL for those living with small cell lung cancer

Amy Moore, VP of Global Engagement and Patient Partnerships, LUNGevity Foundation, shared a post by LUNGevity Foundation on X, adding the following:

“This is a BIG DEAL for those living with small cell lung cancer. Using “targeted immunotherapy” that tethers the cancer cell and a T cell (a type of immune cell), you can cause the cancer cell to burst. This is a new era for how researchers are approaching this and other cancers.”

Quoting LUNGevity Foundation’s post:

“FDA Accelerated Approval Alert!

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the accelerated approval of tarlatamab-dlle (Imdelltra®) to treat patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Learn more.”
