About small cell
lung cancer (SCLC)

Not actual people with ES-SCLC.

SCLC is an aggressive type of cancer that starts in the lungs and spreads quickly. When it has spread throughout your lungs or other parts of the body, it is referred to as extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).1,2

Cancer may not initially respond to treatment, or it may improve initially after treatment but then relapse.2
A relapse is when the cancer returns or starts growing again. If either of these happen, there may be other treatment options.1,2

You don’t have to face ES-SCLC alone. Support and resources are available for you and your caregiver.

Treatment options

There are a number of treatment options that may be available to you, and it’s important to keep the differences in mind.

Chemotherapy

Also called “chemo,”
it is treatment that
uses drugs to stop
the growth of cancer
cells by killing the
cells or by stopping
them from dividing.1

IMDELLTRA® is
not chemotherapy3

Immunotherapy

A type of medicine that uses
your body’s own immune
system to help fight
conditions such as cancer.
You may have already been
treated with an
immunotherapy.1

Targeted therapy

A type of treatment that uses
drugs or other substances to
target specific molecules
that help cancer survive and
spread. Some targeted
therapies help the immune system kill cancer cells.1

IMDELLTRA® is a targeted immunotherapy,
which is different from chemotherapy. It is a specific
type of targeted immunotherapy called a T-cell engager.3

  • blood clots or unusual bleeding or bleeding that lasts a long time

Due to the risk of CRS, you will receive IMDELLTRA® as per the following “step-up dosing schedule”:

  • The step-up dosing schedule is when you receive a smaller dose of IMDELLTRA® on Day 1 of your
    first treatment cycle (Cycle 1).
  • You will receive the full treatment dose of IMDELLTRA® on Day 8 and Day 15 of Cycle 1. You will
    receive the full treatment dose 1 time every 2 weeks after Day 15 of Cycle 1.
  • If your dose of IMDELLTRA® is delayed for any reason, you may need to repeat the “step-up dosing schedule”.
  • Before receiving your Day 1 and Day 8 doses of Cycle 1 of IMDELLTRA®, you will be given a medicine to help reduce your risk of CRS. This will be given into your vein by intravenous (IV) infusion. You will also receive IV fluids after each of your Cycle 1 Day 1 and Day 8 doses. Your healthcare provider will decide if you need to receive medicines to help reduce your risk of CRS with future doses.
