Tarlatamab vs Standard of Care Chemotherapy in Patients With Pre-treated Advanced, Pulmonary or Gastroenteropancreatic Poorly Differentiated Neuroendocrine Carcinomas (NECs)

Study Purpose

Based on the efficacy of tarlatamab in patients with small-cell lung cancer, we aim to assess the efficacy of tarlatamab in patients with Advanced, pulmonary (large-cell only) or gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.
