This is the development of drugs for the treatment of small cell carcinoma (SCLC).

Although the combination of etoposide and carboplatin/cisplatin (EP) has been the standard treatment for SCLC until now; but we can also clearly see that the battle against small cell lung cancer has entered an accelerated stage. In May of this year, Amgen’s DLL3/CD3 dual antibody Tarlatamab ...
