Administration
Table 2 provides the infusion duration and rate.
Administer recommended concomitant medications for IMDELLTRA during Cycle 1 Day 1 and Cycle 1 Day 8 as presented in Table 3 to reduce the risk of CRS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
If a dose of IMDELLTRA is delayed, restart based on the recommendation as listed in Table 4 and resume the dose and schedule accordingly [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].
Administer recommended concomitant medications as indicated in Table 3.
No dose reduction for IMDELLTRA is recommended. See Table 5 and Table 6 for recommended management of CRS, neurologic toxicity including ICANS respectively and Table 7 for cytopenias, infections and other adverse reactions.
Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS)
Diagnose CRS based on clinical presentation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. Evaluate for and treat other causes of fever, hypoxia, and hypotension.
If CRS is suspected, manage according to the recommendations in Table 5. Monitor patients who experience Grade 2 or higher CRS (e.g., hypotension not responsive to fluids, or hypoxia requiring supplemental oxygen) with continuous cardiac telemetry and pulse oximetry.
For severe or life-threatening CRS, recommend administering tocilizumab or equivalent therapy and intensive monitoring (e.g., ICU) for supportive therapy. Perform laboratory testing to monitor for disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), hematology parameters, as well as pulmonary, cardiac, renal, and hepatic function. Table 5 provides the guidelines for grading and dosage modification and management of cytokine release syndrome.
Neurologic Toxicity including ICANS
At the first sign of neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, withhold IMDELLTRA and consider neurology evaluation. Rule out other causes of neurologic symptoms. Provide supportive therapy, which may include intensive care, for severe or life-threatening neurologic toxicities, including ICANS [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. Manage ICANS and neurologic toxicity according to the recommendations in Table 6 and consider further management per current practice guidelines.

IMDELLTRA can cause cytokine release syndrome (CRS) including life-threatening or fatal reactions.
In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], CRS occurred in 57% (268/473) of patients who received IMDELLTRA, including 39% Grade 1, 15% Grade 2, 1.7% Grade 3 and 0.2% Grade 4. Recurrent CRS occurred in 24% of IMDELLTRA-treated patients including 20% Grade 1 and 3.4% Grade 2; one patient experienced recurrent Grade 3.
Among the 268 patients who experienced CRS, 73% had CRS after the first dose, 60% had CRS after the second dose, and 15% had CRS following the third or later dose. Following the Cycle 1 Day 1, Day 8, Day 15 infusions, 24%, 8%, and 1% of patients experienced Grade ≥ 2 CRS, respectively. From Cycle 2 onwards, 1.5% of patients experienced Grade ≥ 2 CRS. Of the patients who experienced CRS, 31% received steroids and 10% required tocilizumab. The median time to onset of all grade CRS from most recent dose of IMDELLTRA was 16 hours (range: start of infusion to 15 days). The median time to onset of Grade ≥ 2 CRS from most recent dose of IMDELLTRA was 15 hours (range: start of infusion to 15 days).
Clinical signs and symptoms of CRS included pyrexia, hypotension, fatigue, tachycardia, headache, hypoxia, nausea and vomiting. Potentially life-threatening complications of CRS may include cardiac dysfunction, acute respiratory distress syndrome, neurologic toxicity, renal and/or hepatic failure, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).
Administer IMDELLTRA following the recommended step-up dosing and administer concomitant medications before and after Cycle 1 Day 1 and Cycle 1 Day 8 IMDELLTRA infusions as described in Table 3 to reduce the risk of CRS [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]. Administer IMDELLTRA in an appropriate healthcare facility equipped to monitor and manage CRS. Ensure patients are well hydrated prior to administration of IMDELLTRA.
Closely monitor patients for signs and symptoms of CRS during treatment with IMDELLTRA. At the first sign of CRS, immediately discontinue IMDELLTRA infusion, evaluate the patient for hospitalization and institute supportive care based on severity. Withhold or permanently discontinue IMDELLTRA based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)]. Counsel patients and caregivers to seek medical attention should signs or symptoms of CRS occur.
IMDELLTRA can cause life-threatening or fatal neurologic toxicity including ICANS.
In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], neurologic toxicity occurred in 65% of patients who received IMDELLTRA, with Grade 3 or higher events in 7% of patients including fatal events in 0.2%. The most frequent neurologic toxicities were dysgeusia (34%), headache (17%), peripheral neuropathy (9%), dizziness (9%), and insomnia (8%).
The incidence of signs and symptoms consistent with ICANS was 10% in IMDELLTRA- treated patients, including events with the preferred terms: ICANs (4.7%), muscular weakness (3.2%), cognitive disorder (0.6%), aphasia (0.6%), depressed level of consciousness (0.4%), seizures (0.4%), encephalopathy (0.4%), and leukoencephalopathy (0.2%). There was one fatal reaction of ICANS [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Recurrent ICANS occurred in 1.5% of patients. Of the patients who experienced ICANS, most experienced the event following Cycle 1 Day 1 (2.5%) and Cycle 1 Day 8 (3.6%). Following Day 1, Day 8, and Day 15 infusions, 1.3%, 1.3% and 0.4% of patients experienced Grade ≥ 2 ICANS, respectively. ICANS can occur several weeks following administration of IMDELLTRA. The median time to onset of ICANS from the first dose of IMDELLTRA was 16 days (range: 1 to 862 days). The median time to resolution of ICANS was 4 days (range: 1 to 40 days).
The onset of ICANS can be concurrent with CRS, following resolution of CRS, or in the absence of CRS. Clinical signs and symptoms of ICANS may include but are not limited to confusional state, depressed level of consciousness, disorientation, somnolence, lethargy, and bradyphrenia.
Patients receiving IMDELLTRA are at risk of neurologic adverse reactions and ICANS resulting in depressed level of consciousness. Advise patients to refrain from driving and engaging in hazardous occupations or activities, such as operating heavy or potentially dangerous machinery, until neurologic symptoms resolve.
Closely monitor patients for signs and symptoms of neurologic toxicity and ICANS during treatment with IMDELLTRA. At the first sign of ICANS, immediately discontinue the infusion, evaluate the patient and provide supportive therapy based on severity.
Withhold IMDELLTRA or permanently discontinue based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].
IMDELLTRA can cause cytopenias including neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia.
In the pooled safety population, [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)] based on laboratory data, decreased neutrophils occurred in 16% of patients, including 9% Grade 3 or 4. The median time to onset for Grade 3 or 4 decreased neutrophil count was 41 days (range: 2 to 306 days). Decreased platelets occurred in 30%, including 2.2% Grade 3 or 4. The median time to onset for Grade 3 or 4 decreased platelets was 67 days (range: 3 to 420 days). Decreased hemoglobin occurred in 56% of patients, including 4.7% Grade 3 or 4.
Febrile neutropenia was reported as an adverse event in 1.5% of patients treated with IMDELLTRA.
Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of cytopenias. Perform complete blood counts prior to treatment with all doses of IMDELLTRA, up through Cycle 5 Day 15 and then prior to administration of IMDELLTRA on Day 1 of each cycle starting with Cycle 6.
Based on the severity of cytopenias, temporarily withhold or permanently discontinue IMDELLTRA [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].
IMDELLTRA can cause serious infections, including life-threatening and fatal infections.
In the pooled safety population, [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], infections including opportunistic infections occurred in 43% of patients who received IMDELLTRA, including 14% Grade 3 or 4. The most frequent infections were pneumonia (11%), urinary tract infection (9%), COVID-19 (6%), upper respiratory tract infection (4.7%), respiratory tract infection (4%), candida infection (2.1%), oral candidiasis (2.1%) and nasopharyngitis (2.1%).
Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection prior to and during treatment with IMDELLTRA and treat as clinically indicated. Withhold or permanently discontinue IMDELLTRA based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].
IMDELLTRA can cause hepatotoxicity.
In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)], based on laboratory data, elevated ALT occurred in 39% of patients who received IMDELLTRA, including 2.5% Grade 3 or 4 ALT. Elevated AST occurred in 43% of patients, including 3.2% Grade 3 or 4. Elevated bilirubin occurred in 16% of patients, including 1.3% Grade 3 or 4 [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Liver enzyme elevation can occur with or without concurrent CRS.
Monitor liver enzymes and bilirubin prior to treatment with IMDELLTRA, and as clinically indicated. Withhold IMDELLTRA or permanently discontinue based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].
IMDELLTRA can cause severe hypersensitivity reactions.
Clinical signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity may include, but are not limited to, rash and bronchospasm.
Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity during treatment with IMDELLTRA and manage as clinically indicated. Withhold or consider permanent discontinuation of IMDELLTRA based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.5)].
Based on its mechanism of action, IMDELLTRA may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise patients of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with IMDELLTRA and for 2 months after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].

Table 14 summarizes laboratory abnormalities in DeLLphi-304.
DeLLphi-300 and DeLLphi-301
The safety of IMDELLTRA, as a single agent, at the recommended dosage was evaluated in patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer enrolled in DeLLphi-300 and DeLLphi-301 [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Among 187 patients who received IMDELLTRA, 31% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 14% were exposed for greater than one year.
The demographic characteristics of patients who received IMDELLTRA were: median age 66 years (range: 35 to 82); 65% male; 70% White, 26% Asian, 2.1% Black or African American; and 2.1% Hispanic or Latino.

Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. (8.2)
Risk Summary
Based on its mechanism of action, IMDELLTRA may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)]. There are no available data on the use of IMDELLTRA in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk.
In an animal reproduction study, a murine surrogate molecule administered intravenously to pregnant mice crossed the placental barrier.
Tarlatamab-dlle causes T-cell activation and cytokine release; immune activation may compromise pregnancy maintenance.
Human immunoglobulin G (IgG) and proteins comprising IgG-derived fragment crystallizable (Fc) domains are known to cross the placental barrier; therefore, IMDELLTRA has the potential to be transmitted from the mother to the developing fetus. Advise women of the potential risk to the fetus.
In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% - 4% and 15% - 20%, respectively.
Data
Animal Data
Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with tarlatamab-dlle. In an embryo-fetal developmental toxicity study, a murine surrogate molecule was administered intravenously to pregnant mice during the period of organogenesis. The surrogate molecule crossed the placental barrier and did not cause maternal toxicity, embryo-fetal toxicity or teratogenicity.
Risk Summary
There are no data on the presence of tarlatamab-dlle in human milk or the effects on the breastfed child or on milk production. Maternal IgG is known to be present in human milk. The effects of local gastrointestinal exposure and limited systemic exposure in the breastfed child to IMDELLTRA are unknown. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise patients not to breastfeed during treatment with IMDELLTRA and for 2 months after the last dose.
IMDELLTRA may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].
Pregnancy Testing
Verify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating IMDELLTRA.
Contraception
Females
Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with IMDELLTRA and for 2 months after the last dose.
The safety and effectiveness of IMDELLTRA have not been established in pediatric patients.
Of the 473 patients with SCLC who received IMDELLTRA 10 mg as a single agent, 51% were 65 years of age or older and 11% were 75 years of age or older. No overall differences in IMDELLTRA pharmacokinetics, safety or efficacy were observed between older patients (≥ 65 years of age) and younger patients.
Tarlatamab-dlle is a bispecific DLL3-directed CD3 T-cell engager that binds to DLL3 expressed on the surface of cells, including tumor cells, and CD3 expressed on the surface of T cells. Tarlatamab-dlle is produced using recombinant DNA technology in Chinese hamster ovary cells. It consists of 982 amino acids and has a molecular weight of approximately 105 kilodaltons.
IMDELLTRA (tarlatamab-dlle) for injection is supplied as a sterile, preservative-free, white to slightly yellow, lyophilized powder in a single-dose vial for reconstitution and further dilution.
Each 1 mg vial contains tarlatamab-dlle (1 mg), glutamic acid (0.72 mg), polysorbate 80 (0.04 mg), sucrose (37.1 mg), and sodium hydroxide to adjust pH to 4.2. After reconstitution with 1.3 mL of Sterile Water for Injection the resulting concentration is 0.9 mg/mL IMDELLTRA.
Each 10 mg vial contains tarlatamab-dlle (10 mg), glutamic acid (3.7 mg), polysorbate 80 (0.2 mg), sucrose (194.4 mg), and sodium hydroxide to adjust pH to 4.2. After reconstitution with 4.4 mL of Sterile Water for Injection the resulting concentration is 2.4 mg/mL IMDELLTRA.
IV Solution Stabilizer is supplied as a sterile, preservative-free, colorless to slightly yellow, clear solution. Each vial of IV Solution Stabilizer contains citric acid monohydrate (36.75 mg), lysine hydrochloride (1598.8 mg), polysorbate 80 (7 mg), sodium hydroxide to adjust pH to 7.0, and water for injection.
Tarlatamab-dlle is a bispecific T-cell engager that binds to DLL3 expressed on the surface of cells, including tumor cells, and CD3 expressed on the surface of T cells. Tarlatamab-dlle causes T-cell activation, release of inflammatory cytokines, and lysis of DLL3-expressing cells. Tarlatamab-dlle had anti-tumor activity in mouse models of SCLC.
Exposure-Response Relationships
There are no clinically significant exposure-response relationships for efficacy over the exposure range observed between tarlatamab-dlle 10 mg and 100 mg (10 times the highest approved recommended dosage).
There is an exposure-response relationship between tarlatamab-dlle exposure and neutropenia or neurologic toxicity including ICANS with a higher risk of any grade neutropenia or neurologic toxicity including ICANS at higher exposure.
Serum Cytokines
Transient elevation of serum cytokines IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and IFN-γ were observed at a tarlatamab-dlle dosage of 0.3 mg and above. Peak elevation of cytokines was generally observed 24 hours following the initial dose of IMDELLTRA at 1 mg on Cycle 1 Day 1 and generally returned to baseline levels prior to the next infusion on Cycle 1 Day 8.
Tarlatamab-dlle pharmacokinetic data in patients with SCLC at the approved recommended dosage are presented as mean (CV%) unless otherwise specified. The exposure of tarlatamab-dlle increases in a dose proportional manner over the dosage range of 1 mg to 100 mg (10 times the highest approved recommended dosage) every 2 weeks. Tarlatamab-dlle steady state is achieved by Cycle 2 Day 15. Pharmacokinetic parameters are summarized for the recommended dosage of IMDELLTRA in Table 17.
Distribution
Tarlatamab-dlle steady state volume of distribution is 8.5 L (33%).
Metabolism
Tarlatamab-dlle is expected to be metabolized into small peptides by catabolic pathways.
Elimination
Tarlatamab-dlle terminal elimination half-life is 11 days (31%) with an estimated systemic clearance of 0.7 L/day (34%).
Specific Populations
No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of tarlatamab-dlle were observed based on age (20 to 86 years), body weight (35 to 149 kg), sex, race (68% White and 27% Asian), mild or moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30 to < 90 mL/min), or mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤ upper limit of normal (ULN) and AST > ULN).
The effects of severe renal impairment (eGFR 15 to < 30 mL/min), end-stage renal disease (eGFR <15 mL/min), or moderate to severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin > 1.5 × ULN and any AST) on the pharmacokinetics of tarlatamab-dlle are unknown.
Effects of Tarlatamab-dlle on CYP450 Substrates
Tarlatamab-dlle causes transient release of cytokines that may suppress CYP450 enzymes and may result in an increased exposure of concomitant CYP substrates during and up to 14 days after occurrence of cytokine release syndrome [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)].
The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of ADA in the studies described below with the incidence of ADA in other studies, including those of tarlatamab-dlle or of other tarlatamab products.
During the maximum 3-year treatment period during which the presence of ADA was evaluated in DeLLphi-300, DeLLphi-301, and DeLLphi-304, 8% (36/445) of patients who received the recommended step-up and full dose of IMDELLTRA developed treatment- emergent ADA. In DeLLphi-301 and DeLLphi-304, which included neutralizing antibody assessments, 38% (11/29) of the patients who developed treatment-emergent ADA also developed neutralizing antibodies. ADA resulted in a 14% increase in the clearance of tarlatamab-dlle. Because of the low occurrence of ADA, the effect of these antibodies on the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, and effectiveness of tarlatamab-dlle is unknown.
No carcinogenicity or genotoxicity studies have been conducted with tarlatamab-dlle.
No studies have been conducted to evaluate the effects of tarlatamab-dlle on fertility.
DeLLphi-304
The efficacy of IMDELLTRA was evaluated in DeLLphi-304 (NCT05740566), a multicenter, randomized, open-label trial. Eligible patients were required to have SCLC with disease progression following treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy with or without an anti-PD-(L)1 antibody. Patients were required to have an ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1 and at least one measurable lesion per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1). Patients with symptomatic brain metastases or active immunodeficiency were ineligible.
A total of 509 patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either IMDELLTRA (N=254) at an initial dose of 1 mg on Cycle 1 Day 1 followed by 10 mg on Days 8, 15, and every 2 weeks thereafter until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity or Investigator's choice of standard of care (SOC) chemotherapy (N=255) (topotecan [73%], lurbinectedin [18%] or amrubicin [9%]) until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Randomization was stratified by prior anti-PD-(L)1 exposure (yes versus no), platinum sensitivity status (chemotherapy-free interval (CFI) ≥ 180 days, < 180 to ≥ 90 days, or < 90 days), presence (previous or current) of brain metastases (yes versus no) and investigator's choice of standard of care (topotecan/amrubicin versus lurbinectedin).
The median age was 65 years (range: 20 to 86); 52% age 65 or older; 69% male; 57% White, 40% Asian, 1.4% were other races or had race not reported, 1% Black or African American, 0.4% American Indian or Alaska Native; 32% had ECOG PS of 0 and 67% ECOG PS of 1; 100% had extensive stage disease at baseline of whom 91% had metastatic disease; 45% had brain metastases at baseline; 35% had liver metastases at baseline. Sixty-nine percent (69%) of patients were former smokers, 21% were current smokers, 11% were never smokers. All patients received prior platinum therapy; 71% received prior anti-PD-(L)1 therapy; 223 patients (44%) had chemotherapy-free interval < 90 days after end of first line platinum therapy, while 286 patients (56%) had chemotherapy-free interval ≥ 90 days.
The major efficacy outcome measure was overall survival (OS). Key secondary efficacy outcome measures included progression-free survival (PFS) based on investigator assessment per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) and select patient reported outcomes.
Efficacy results are summarized in Table 18 and Figure 1.
In a pre-specified exploratory subgroup analysis, the HR for OS was similar between patients with a chemotherapy-free interval (CFI) <90 days (n=223) and patients with a CFI ≥90 days (n=286), with HRs of 0.60 (95% CI: 0.43, 0.84) and 0.65 (95% CI: 0.45, 0.93), respectively.

The analysis of mean change from baseline in dyspnea as assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-LC13 at week 18 demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in patients randomized to IMDELLTRA compared to SOC. At week 18, 149 patients (59%) randomized to IMDELLTRA and 116 (45%) patients randomized to SOC were still on treatment, and the compliance rates were 79% and 76% respectively at that timepoint.
Figure 2 shows the change from baseline in dyspnea at week 18 in patients who had a change from baseline score at week 18 (n=116 for IMDELLTRA, n=88 for SOC). Two patients with a missing baseline value, both from the IMDELLTRA arm, are not included in the waterfall plot. Patients with no change in dyspnea score are not graphically represented in Figure 2 (n=38 for IMDELLTRA, n=26 for SOC).

DeLLphi-301
The efficacy of IMDELLTRA was evaluated in DeLLphi-301 [NCT05060016], an open- label, multicenter, multi-cohort clinical trial. Eligible patients were required to have relapsed/refractory SCLC with disease progression after receiving previous treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy and at least one other line of prior therapy, an ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1, and at least one measurable lesion as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1). The trial excluded patients with symptomatic brain metastases, evidence of interstitial lung disease or non-infectious pneumonitis, and active immunodeficiency.
A total of 99 patients received IMDELLTRA intravenously at an initial dose of 1 mg on Cycle 1 Day 1 followed by 10 mg on Days 8, 15, and every 2 weeks thereafter until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
The study population characteristics were: median age 64 years (range: 35 to 82); 48% of patients ≥ 65 years and 10% of patients ≥ 75 years; 72% male; 58% White, 41% Asian; 1% Hispanic or Latino; and 74% have ECOG 1.
Ninety-seven percent of patients had metastatic disease at baseline; 22% had brain metastases at baseline; and 92% were former/current smokers. All patients received prior platinum-based chemotherapy (median two lines); 74% received prior anti-PD-(L)1 therapy (including 59% who received anti-PD[L]1 therapy in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy in the frontline setting); 51% received prior topoisomerase I inhibitor (including 20% who received topotecan). Platinum sensitivity status, defined by time to progression after first line platinum therapy, was known for 69/99 patients. Twenty-seven patients (27%) had platinum-resistant SCLC, defined as time to progression < 90 days after first line platinum therapy, while 42 patients (42%) had platinum-sensitive SCLC.
Tumor assessments were performed every 6 weeks for the first 48 weeks and every 12 weeks thereafter. The major efficacy outcome measures were overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) as evaluated by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) according to RECIST v1.1.
Efficacy results are presented in Table 19.
Of the 69 patients with available data regarding platinum sensitivity status, the ORR was 52% (95% CI: 32, 71) in 27 patients with platinum-resistant SCLC and 31% (95% CI: 18, 47) in 42 patients with platinum-sensitive SCLC.
