Radiation Combined With BIspecific T-Cell Engager in DLL3 Expressing Tumors
RAdiation comBined With BIspecific T-Cell Engager in DLL3 Expressing Tumors (RABBIT) Study: A Phase I/II Study of AMG757 / Tarlatamab and Concurrent Radiation Therapy in Tumors With High Prevalence of DLL3
Radiation Combined With BIspecific T-Cell Engager in DLL3 Expressing Tumors (NCT06814496) is a Phase 1 / Phase 2 interventional studying Melanoma and Medullary Thyroid Cancer, sponsored by University of Arizona. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.
About This Trial
Phase I study to examine safety of the addition of concurrent tarlatamab with standard palliative and consolidative RT regimens , with a main cohort of N=20-24 patients with extracranial anatomic radiation sites. I) After lead in of 10 patients demonstrating safety of treatment, allow for expansion to cranial sites of disease (N=6-10) with continued enrollment in main cohort II) If toxicity criteria is not met in concurrent RT tarlatamab cohort, we will continue with sequential RT, either A) delivered within 7 days prior to cycle 1 day 1, or B) delivered during cycle 1 -2 but with pre- and post-RT washout of 7 days with no drug during RT, to examine safety in a temporally spaced setting. III) If sequential tarlatamab and radiation is not deemed safe, we would allow for continued enrollment to assess efficacy of drug sans radiation treatment, enriching for tumors not of small cell lung cancer histology and allowing for patients without sites amenable to RT. A nested phase II study will attempt to assess for ORR and safety of study intervention amongst tumors not of small cell lung cancer histology.
What Stage of Research Is This?
Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For Melanoma, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.
This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.
With a target enrollment of 30 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.
Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Treatments Being Tested
Tarlatamab
Tarlatamab will be administered at a step-up dose of 1mg on Cycle 1 Day 1 and then 10 mg on Cycle 1 Day 8 and Cycle 1 Day 15 and every 2 weeks thereafter. For cycle 2 onwards, tarlatamab infusion will occur every 2 weeks on days 1 and 15 of each cycle.
Concurrent Radiation Therapy
Standard of care RT can begin as early as Cycle 1 Day 16 and as late as Cycle 2 Day 28, assuming there is no ongoing CRS (extracranial)/ICANS (cranial).
Sequential Radiation therapy
Standard of care radiation therapy can occur prior to Cycle 1 Day 1 (if radiation treatment is completed \<7 days prior to the start of tarlatamab) or be interdigitated with tarlatamab with a 7-day washout between RT and infusion, with RT to begin as early as Cycle 1 Day 22 and as late as cycle 2 Day 28, assuming no ongoing CRS (extracranial)/ICANS (cranial).

How to Talk to Your Doctor About This Trial
Bring the printable summary of this trial — including the NCT ID (NCT06814496), the sponsor (University of Arizona), and the key eligibility criteria — to your next appointment. Your doctor can review the inclusion and exclusion criteria against your medical history, lab values, and current treatments to assess whether you are likely to qualify. They can also help you weigh whether trial participation makes sense alongside your existing care plan.
Useful questions to walk through together: What does the trial protocol require beyond standard care? How long is the active treatment phase, and how long is follow-up? Are there study visits at sites I can reach? Who pays for the trial-specific procedures, and who pays for standard-of-care portions?

Who can participate in NCT06814496?
Eligibility for this trial depends on the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria set by the sponsor. The plain-English summary above translates the most important criteria into accessible language; the official clinical text is preserved in the collapsible section underneath. Whether you fit any specific trial is a medical decision your doctor needs to confirm — bring the trial information to your treating physician for a full review against your medical history.
How do I contact the trial site for NCT06814496?
Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.
Is participating in a clinical trial safe?
Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
