A Study of Hospital-at-Home for People Receiving Tarlatamab, MATCHES-Novel Trial

Trial Status: active

This clinical trial tests whether Hospital-at-Home (HaH) is more efficient than inpatient hospital stays for monitoring patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) who are receiving tarlatamab as part of their usual care. Patients receiving tarlatamab are usually hospitalized for at least 24 hours after each dose. HaH or short-term care delivery within patients’ homes, is an emerging health care delivery innovation. HaH makes it possible to check on patient's health at home instead of staying in the hospital. The HaH model has shown reductions in hospitalizations, hospital length of stay, emergency department (ED) use, and cost of care. HaH may be a more efficient way to monitor patients with ES-SCLC receiving tarlatamab.
