A Study of Hospital-at-Home for People Receiving Tarlatamab

March 26, 2026 updated by: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

MATCHES-Novel: MAking Telehealth Delivery of Cancer Care at Home Effective and Safe for Novel Therapies: A Hospital-at-Home Model for Tarlatamab Delivery

The purpose of this study is to find out whether a Hospital-at-Home (HaH) program is a more efficient way to monitor people's health after receiving tarlatamab than monitoring in the hospital (inpatient).

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Patient

  • Diagnosis of extensive stage small cell lung carcinoma (ES-SCLC)
  • Treatment plan of commercially available tarlatamab monotherapy as standard of care
  • Patients must be 18 years of age or older
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status <2
  • Patients must have adequate organ and bone marrow function, defined by the following laboratory results obtained within 28 days prior to the first study treatment:

    • ANC ≥ 1000 cells/μL (without granulocyte colony stimulating factor support within 4 weeks prior to Cycle 1, Day 1)
    • Platelet count ≥50,000/μL (without transfusion within 4 weeks prior to Cycle 1, Day 1)
    • Hemoglobin ≥8.0 g/dL (without transfusion within 4 weeks prior to Cycle 1, Day 1)
    • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3 X upper limit of normal (ULN). Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN. Patients with known Gilbert disease who have serum bilirubin level ≤ 2 x ULN may be enrolled.
    • Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) ≥ 30mL/min using the CKD-EPI formula.
  • The patient is willing to give and sign informed consent
  • Appropriate homebound setting as defined by one of the following:

    • Lodging at MSK Residence or hotel
    • 5 New York City boroughs, lower Westchester County (northern boundary Cross County Parkway) and Nassau County (eastern boundary Wantagh State Parkway). This is based on the community paramedic (SeniorCare) 60-minute response time catchment area. If there is any uncertainty about patient residence eligibility, the Principal Investigator will decide after discussion with SeniorCare.
  • Patients must be accompanied by a caregiver for the period of time the patient is enrolled in the HaH intervention. For cases where there is uncertainty, the Principal Investigator will make the final determination.

Caregiver

  • Primary caregiver as identified by patient enrolled on study

Physician

  • Treating physician for patient(s) enrolled on study; managing treatment plan of commercially available tarlatamab as standard of care

Exclusion Criteria:

Patient

  • Patients with a documented active infection prior to starting tarlatamab. This includes grade 3 or higher viral, bacterial, or fungal infection.
  • Patients with baseline dementia or cognitive barriers
  • Uncontrolled arrhythmias

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Health Services Research
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: Control Arm
Participants randomized to the control group will receive tarlatamab administration as per usual care.
Experimental: Hospital-at-Home/HAH Intervention Arm
Participants randomized to the intervention group will receive tarlatamab administration through the hospital-at-home care delivery model.
After discharge, a SeniorCare community paramedic will provide a home visit to the participant's home or residence

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description

Number of inpatient hospital days
Time Frame: 14 days
Evaluate whether HaH in combination with an enhanced oncology specific telemedicine platform is efficient by quantifying inpatient hospital days during the two 7-day periods (14 days total) after the tarlatamab infusions scheduled for C1D1 and C1D8
14 days
