Tarlatamab, a delta-like ligand 3–targeting bispecific T-cell engager, has demonstrated promising efficacy in relapsed SCLC. Data on immune effector cell–associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) in patients with central nervous system disease remain limited. In particular, tumor inflammation–associated neurotoxicity (TIAN), proposed in chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy as localized neurotoxicity linked to peritumoral inflammation, has not been characterized in this setting.
Journal of Thoracic Oncology (JTO) published a clinical update in Oncology on 18 Mar 2026.
The item focuses on Tumor Inflammation–Associated Neurotoxicity Masquerading as Severe Immune Effector Cell–Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome in a Patient With SCLC Treated With Tarlatamab: A Case Report.
