The CHMP has recommended Imdylltra (tarlatamab) as a monotx. to treat adults with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) whose disease relapsed during or after an initial treatment with Pt-based CT
Opinion was based on the P-III study in 509 ES-SCLC pts post Pt therapy, where Imdylltra showed improved mOS (13.6 vs 8.3 mos.; ~40% lower death risk) and higher mPFS (4.2 vs 3.2 mos.) vs SoC
Imdylltra is…

Abstract
Just like the Internet in 1990’s, Artificial intelligence is now changing all aspects of our life and work. It’s impact is beginning to show in the industry and it is changing the life-sciences practice by fundamentally altering the way how medicines are discovered, developed, manufactured, approved, supplied and brought to market.
In research and discovery, generative models and structure prediction systems shorten the path from target to lead and raise the ceiling…
