Amgen: EC approves IMDYLLTRA (tarlatamab) for ES-SCLC
The European Commission granted marketing authorization for IMDYLLTRA (tarlatamab) as monotherapy for adults with ES-SCLC who progressed after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Approval rests on the Phase 3 DeLLphi-304 trial showing a 40% reduction in risk of death and a 5.3-month median OS gain versus chemotherapy. This is the first T-cell engager approved for small cell lung cancer in Europe.
