Frequently asked questions about ZL-1310

What is ZL-1310?

ZL-1310 is an investigational small molecule developed by Zai Lab Limited for the treatment of small cell lung cancer and other solid tumors. It is being studied both as a single agent and in combination with checkpoint inhibitors in extensive-stage and relapsed small cell lung cancer.

What is ZL-1310 used for?

ZL-1310 is being developed for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, relapsed small cell lung cancer, and selected solid tumors. It is also being studied in combination with checkpoint inhibitors such as atezolizumab or durvalumab as first-line therapy for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

What does ZL-1310 target?

ZL-1310 targets DLL3, a protein expressed on the surface of small cell lung cancer cells and other neuroendocrine tumors. By binding DLL3, the drug is designed to act on tumor cells that carry this target, which is a defining feature of small cell lung cancer biology.

Who makes ZL-1310?

ZL-1310 is developed by Zai Lab Limited, a biopharmaceutical company traded on the Nasdaq under the ticker ZLAB. Zai Lab is running the clinical development program for ZL-1310 across small cell lung cancer and other solid tumor indications.

What phase is ZL-1310 in?

ZL-1310 is in Phase 3 clinical development. Two Phase 3 trials are planned or underway: one evaluating ZL-1310 in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor as first-line therapy for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, and one comparing ZL-1310 with investigator's choice of therapy in relapsed small cell lung cancer.

What clinical trials is ZL-1310 in?

ZL-1310 is being studied in several trials, including NCT07218146 (DLLEVATE), a recruiting Phase 3 study in relapsed small cell lung cancer, and NCT07796100, a Phase 3 study in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. Earlier-stage studies include NCT06885281 in solid tumors and NCT07707895 in combination with obrixtamig.
