Examining Key Data from DAREON-8

Experts delve into the DAREON-8 Phase 1 clinical trial, assessing the potential impact of incorporating the study into the current treatment algorithm for small cell lung cancer (SCLC).

Video content above is prompted by the following questions:

  1. DAREON-8: Phase 1 Clinical Trial of Combination Therapy with BI 764532, a DLL3 Targeting T-Cell Engager
    1. Please share your opinions of the therapeutic potential of Bl 764532, an lgG-like T-cell engager, for its ability to induce selective T-cell mediated tumor cell lysis when added to SOC (carboplatin + etoposide + atezolizumab) for previously untreated patients with ES-SCLC:
    2. Is a commercial molecular assay currently available to identify the presence of the delta-like ligand 3 notch receptor in patients with SCLC?
    3. Are you encouraged by an overall response rate of 28% and a 54% disease control rate in the Phase I trial?
    4. For which line of therapy do you envision BI 764532, if approved?
    5. Based on the exclusion criteria for the dose escalation trial, are you concerned that this agent may be associated with cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and/or immunosuppressive TRAEs?
