Small Cell Lung Cancer – Current Treatment – Current Treatment: Physician Insights – Small-Cell Lung Cancer (US)
The small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) treatment landscape is dominated by chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy. The immune checkpoint inhibitors Tecentriq (Roche; FDA approved in 2019) and Imfinzi (AstraZeneca; 2020) compete for market share in the first-line treatment setting for extensive-stage disease. In September 2024, Tecentriq Hybreza, a subcutaneous formulation of Tecentriq, also entered this space. In the later-line extensive-stage setting, prescribers can choose between the RNA polymerase II inhibitor Zepzelca (PharmaMar; 2020) and, recently, the DLL3-targeting T-cell engager Imdelltra (Amgen; 2024).
