Tarlatamab is a bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) antibody construct that binds simultaneously to DLL3 (delta-like ligand 3) on tumor cells and CD3 on T cells. DLL3 is an inhibitory Notch ligand that is aberrantly expressed on the surface of SCLC cells but has minimal expression on normal adult tissues. By bridging DLL3-positive tumor cells with cytotoxic T cells, tarlatamab activates T cells to release perforin and granzymes, inducing targeted tumor cell lysis independent of MHC recognition.
Half-life: approximately 13-18 days at 10 mg dose. Steady-state reached by approximately Cycle 4. Non-linear pharmacokinetics at lower doses with target-mediated drug disposition. Volume of distribution approximately 4-5 L.
