Amgen reported that adding tarlatamab to durvalumab reduced the hazard of death by 58% in a Phase 3 lung cancer trial. Median overall survival was 21.1 months with the combination vs. 12.7 months with durvalumab alone. The company plans to share findings with regulators.

Amgen's Imdelltra, combined with AstraZeneca's Imfinzi, reduced lung cancer death risk by 58% in a trial. Amgen reports median survival of 21.1 months vs. 12.7 months with Imfinzi alone. Imdelltra sales grew to $288M in Q2 2026, but represents only 2.9% of Amgen's total revenue. Analysts expect Amgen's revenue to grow 4% annually through 2030.

A Phase 3 trial found that a combination of tarlatamab (Amgen) and durvalumab (AstraZeneca) reduced death risk by 58% and extended median survival to 21.1 months in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer patients. The study involved 563 patients across 29 countries. Amgen plans regulatory submissions.
