    Harnessing delta-like ligand 3: bridging biomarker discovery to next-generation immunotherapies in refractory small cell lung cancer. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
    The 2024 FDA approval of tarlatamab-a bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) targeting DLL3 and CD3-marks a pivotal advancement, demonstrating improvement in survival in refractory disease. This review examines three key advances reshaping SCLC management: (1) mechanistic links between DLL3-driven tumorigenesis and PD-L1-mediated immunosuppression, (2) clinical progress in antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) with next-generation payloads (e.g., FZ-AD005), multispecific BiTEs (e.g., HPN328), and engineered CAR-T/NK cells with enhanced metabolic resilience, and (3) precision strategies combining liquid biopsy for dynamic DLL3 profiling with immuno-PET imaging using [89Zr]Zr-DFO-SC16. Emerging synergies, such as combining DLL3-targeted BiTEs with ICIs to amplify T-cell infiltration or reprogramming CAR-T mitochondrial metabolism, further underscore the potential of multimodal approaches. Together, these developments signal a transformative era in SCLC treatment, where molecular diagnostics and engineered immunotherapies converge to address unmet clinical needs.

    Comparison of two immunotoxins against DLL3 receptor; as an inhibitor for small cell lung cancer. (PubMed, Front Mol Biosci)
    In this study, we investigated the binding ability, cytotoxicity, apoptosis induction rate, and permeability of two immunotoxins based on the rovalpituzumab antibody...The designed immunotoxins in prokaryotic hosts exhibit good anticancer performance in A549 lung cancer cells. Additionally, the bacterial toxin-based immunotoxin has a greater ability to induce apoptosis compared to human enzymes and can be considered as a therapeutic option for SCLC cancer.
