Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) remains one of the most aggressive and challenging malignancies to treat, with limited therapeutic options and poor outcomes. Recent advances in understanding SCLC biology have identified Delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3) as a promising target for novel therapies. This review explores the evolving landscape of DLL3-targeted therapies in SCLC, examining their mechanistic basis, preclinical promise, and clinical development.

Background: Delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3) is highly expressed on the cell surface of small cell lung cancer (SCLC), one of the most lethal malignancies, but minimally or not in normal tissues, making it an attractive target for SCLC. However, none of the DLL3-targeting antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have been approved for SCLC therapy yet. We developed DB-1314, the new anti-DLL3 ADC composed of a novel humanized anti-DLL3 monoclonal antibody (DB131401) conjugated with eight molecules of P1021 (topoisomerase I inhibitor), and described its preclinical profiles.

Background: Delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3) is aberrantly expressed on the surface of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and neuroendocrine prostate cancer cells. We assessed the safety and feasibility of the DLL3-targeted imaging tracer [Zr]Zr-DFO-SC16.56 (composed of the anti-DLL3 antibody SC16.

Delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3) is overexpressed in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and has been considered an attractive target for SCLC therapy. Rovalpituzumab tesirine was the first DLL3-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) to enter clinical studies. However, serious adverse events limited progress in the treatment of SCLC with rovalpituzumab tesirine.

Article Synopsis
  • * Various therapies targeting DLL3 include antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), bispecific T-cell engagers (BiTEs), and CAR T-cell therapies, with tarlatamab showing promising results and currently under FDA review.
  • * Ongoing clinical trials are set to assess the effectiveness of DLL3-targeted therapies, including novel T-cell engagers and radiotherapy, emphasizing the need for further research to improve treatment outcomes for SCLC patients.
