More frequent evaluation may be necessary as clinically indicated. Withhold or permanently discontinue based on severity. ( 5.3 ) Infections : Monitor for signs and symptoms of infection; treat appropriately. Withhold or permanently discontinue based on severity. ( 5.4 ) Hepatotoxicity : Monitor liver enzymes and bilirubin prior to administration of 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. More frequent evaluation may be necessary as clinically indicated. Withhold or permanently discontinue based on severity. ( 5.5 ) Hypersensitivity : Monitor for signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity and treat accordingly. Withhold or permanently discontinue based on severity. ( 5.6 ) Embryo - Fetal Toxicity : May cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to the fetus and to use effective contraception ( 5.7 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Cytokine Release Syndrome 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. 5.2 Neurologic Toxicity Including ICANS 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) ] . 5.3 Cytopenias 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) ] . 5.4 Infections 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) ] . 5.5 Hepatotoxicity IMDELLTRA can cause hepatotoxicity.

Mechanism of action
Mechanism of Action 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.
