Researchers are evaluating a new treatment called ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd) for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This study compares I-DXd to chemotherapy to see if it helps people live longer overall and live longer without their cancer worsening. It is a Phase 3, open-label trial focused on patients who have progressed on prior therapies and have evidence of metastatic disease. Participants receive either I-DXd through an intravenous infusion every 3 weeks or docetaxel chemotherapy administered every 3 weeks. Prednisone tablets are also given daily as part of the treatment plan. Before each I-DXd dose, premedication is provided to help prevent nausea and vomiting using a combination of drugs such as corticosteroids and anti-nausea medicines. Treatment continues until disease progression, unacceptable side effects, or other reasons to stop. During the study, researchers monitor overall survival and how long patients live without their cancer progressing, for up to about 36 months. Participants undergo tumor tissue collection, scans, and assessments to track disease status and side effects. Safety is closely watched throughout treatment. The study includes men aged 18 and older with confirmed prostate cancer and metastatic disease who have previously received certain hormone therapies but no prior taxane chemotherapy for mCRPC.

Researchers are studying intismeran autogene combined with pembrolizumab to see if it can stop advanced melanoma, a type of skin cancer that has spread and cannot be removed by surgery, from growing or spreading. This Phase 2 study compares this combination to pembrolizumab with a placebo, aiming to find out if the new treatment helps people live longer without cancer progression. Immunotherapy, which helps the immune system fight cancer, is a standard treatment for advanced melanoma, and intismeran autogene is designed to boost the immune response against a person's specific cancer. Participants receive either intismeran autogene or a placebo through intramuscular injection, along with pembrolizumab given as an intravenous infusion. The study is randomized, double-blind, and controlled, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who gets the active treatment or placebo. This design helps to better understand the effects of intismeran autogene when combined with pembrolizumab. During the study, researchers will monitor participants for up to about 36 months to measure progression-free survival, which means the length of time participants live without the cancer worsening. Assessments include imaging scans to track tumor changes, tumor tissue collection for biomarker analysis, and documentation of any side effects. Participants may also have their mutation status checked and will be observed for safety throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating treatments for breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive (HR+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-), specifically in cases where the cancer is either locally advanced and cannot be removed by surgery or has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). The study aims to determine if patritumab deruxtecan (also called HER3-DXd or MK-1022) helps patients live longer overall or without the cancer growing compared to chemotherapy or trastuzumab deruxtecan. This is a Phase 3 clinical trial focusing on this particular type of breast cancer. Participants receive one of several treatments: patritumab deruxtecan through intravenous infusion, chemotherapy options like paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel via IV, oral capecitabine tablets, liposomal doxorubicin via IV, or trastuzumab deruxtecan via IV infusion. The study compares the effects of patritumab deruxtecan alone to the treatment chosen by the physician. Treatments are administered according to standard dosing schedules during the trial. During the study, participants are monitored for how long they live without the cancer progressing (up to about 45 months) and overall survival (up to about 85 months). Researchers assess disease status through imaging and other evaluations. Participants have regular check-ups to monitor health, treatment effects, and any side effects. The study tracks treatment response and safety over the extended follow-up period to understand the benefits and risks of the therapies.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of enicepatide, a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist, for managing weight in adults with obesity or overweight who also have Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This Phase III study compares multiple doses of enicepatide to a placebo to understand its impact on weight loss in this population. Participants receive either enicepatide or a placebo once weekly through an integrated drug-device combination. The study uses a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design to assess the effects of the treatment. The placebo is volume-matched and administered using the same method as the active drug. During the study, participants will have their body weight changes measured up to week 72 to assess efficacy. Researchers will monitor weight changes as the primary outcome. Participants must be able to self-administer the injections or receive them from a trained individual, and their safety and adherence will be observed throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating enicepatide, a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist, to see how well it works and how safe it is for weight management in adults who are obese or overweight and do not have Type 2 diabetes. The study compares different doses of enicepatide with a placebo to understand its effects. Participants must have a body mass index (BMI) of at least 30, or a BMI between 27 and 30 with at least one weight-related health issue such as prediabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea. Participants will receive once-weekly injections of either enicepatide or a placebo using an integrated drug-device combination product. The treatment is randomized and double-blinded, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who gets the active medication or placebo during the study. The study is a Phase III trial, and treatments continue over a period leading up to week 72. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for changes in body weight, with the primary measure being the percent change from baseline to week 72. Safety and efficacy will be assessed regularly, and participants will self-administer the injections or receive help if needed. The study also tracks any side effects and overall health status to understand the long-term effects of enicepatide for weight management.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, effectiveness, best dose, and how the body processes (pharmacokinetics) an investigational drug called BNT326. This study includes people with advanced solid tumors that are metastatic, recurrent, or have progressed after previous treatments. The investigation is divided into two parts: Part 1 tests BNT326 alone, and Part 2 studies BNT326 alone or combined with other immunotherapy drugs, including pumitamig (BNT327). Participants have specific tumor types like melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and cervical cancer, among others. In Part 1, participants receive BNT326 by intravenous infusion in various groups based on cancer type and prior treatments. Part 2 involves BNT326 given alone or with pumitamig, also by intravenous infusion, in several defined cancer groups. Some groups are randomized to receive different dose levels or combinations to find the optimal treatment plan. The study includes a screening phase, treatment phase lasting up to 24 months or until progression or unacceptable side effects, a safety follow-up, efficacy follow-up, and long-term survival monitoring, totaling about 38 months for Part 1 and 48 months for Part 2. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including measuring tumor response using RECIST criteria, monitoring for side effects and serious adverse events up to months after treatment ends, and measuring drug levels in the blood. Researchers track treatment interruptions or discontinuations due to side effects and evaluate dose-limiting toxicities. Tumor tissue samples are required before enrollment. Safety and effectiveness data are collected throughout treatment and follow-up periods to understand how well BNT326 works alone or combined and its safety profile.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, tolerability, how the body processes the drug, and early antitumor effects of BG-C137, an antibody-drug conjugate targeting FGFR2b, alone and combined with other anticancer drugs in people with advanced solid tumors. This study includes two phases: Phase 1a focuses on dose escalation and safety, while Phase 1b involves dose expansion. The trial is sponsored by BeOne Medicines, formerly BeiGene. Participants receive BG-C137 through intravenous infusion. In combination groups, anticancer agents are given either intravenously or orally. Phase 1a includes monotherapy dose escalation, safety expansion, and combination dose confirmation and safety expansion. Phase 1b focuses on dose expansion. The study will determine the maximum tolerated dose, recommended doses for expansion, and overall response rates over approximately two years. During the study, participants will undergo evaluations including safety monitoring for adverse events, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic assessments, and tumor response measurements using RECIST v1.1 criteria. Researchers will collect tumor tissue samples to assess FGFR2b expression and other biomarkers. Participants' physical function, organ health, and prior treatments will be reviewed. The total study duration may last up to about two years, with close monitoring of side effects and treatment effects throughout.

Researchers are conducting a first-in-human Phase 1a/1b study to evaluate BG-C0902, a fully humanized antibody-drug conjugate targeting EGFR and MET, linked to a topoisomerase 1 inhibitor. This study aims to assess its safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and initial antitumor effects in adults with advanced solid tumors that cannot be treated with curative intent or have no available treatment options. The trial is sponsored by BeOne Medicines, previously known as BeiGene. The study includes two phases: Phase 1a involves dose escalation and safety expansion, while Phase 1b focuses on dose expansion. BG-C0902 is given by intravenous infusion, either alone or combined with other therapies. Researchers will determine the maximum tolerated dose, dose-limiting toxicities, recommended doses for expansion, and overall response rates over approximately 24 months. Participants will undergo screening to confirm eligibility, including tumor tissue collection and measurable disease assessment. Throughout the study, safety and response will be closely monitored via laboratory tests, imaging, and clinical evaluations. The study tracks adverse events and pharmacokinetics, with follow-up lasting up to two years to evaluate treatment effects and safety outcomes.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and early antitumor effects of BGB-53038, a pan-KRAS inhibitor, in people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have KRAS mutations or amplifications. The study also explores using BGB-53038 alone or combined with tislelizumab in nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer and with cetuximab in colorectal cancer. This first-in-human, open-label, multicenter study has two phases: Phase 1a for dose escalation and safety expansion, and Phase 1b for dose expansion. Participants receive BGB-53038 orally. In combination groups, tislelizumab and cetuximab are given by intravenous infusion to participants with specific cancers. The study evaluates different doses to find the maximum tolerated dose, recommended doses for further study, and overall response rates over approximately two years. Throughout the study, participants are closely monitored for adverse events, treatment responses, and drug effects. Researchers collect data on safety, tolerability, and preliminary antitumor activity. The total study duration includes dose escalation, expansion phases, and follow-up assessments lasting up to about two years.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and anti-tumor effects of an oral drug called DZD6008 in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have specific mutations in the EGFR gene. This Phase 1, open-label, multicenter study includes patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC that is not suitable for curative treatment. The study targets patients who have had prior EGFR TKI therapy as well as those who are treatment naive, focusing on those with EGFR sensitizing mutations such as Exon19 deletion or L858R. The study has two parts: Part A involves dose escalation and enrolls patients who have progressed or are intolerant to at least one prior EGFR TKI treatment. Part B consists of dose expansion and includes two cohorts: one with patients who failed one prior third-generation EGFR TKI regimen and another with treatment-naive patients. Participants receive a daily dose of DZD6008 or Sunvozertinib. The study monitors safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and anti-tumor activity over approximately one year. Participants will undergo multiple assessments including tumor sample collection before treatment or after progression on prior therapies, evaluation of measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 criteria, and regular safety monitoring to track side effects and overall health. Researchers will assess safety and tolerability shortly after dosing and throughout the study, and will also measure anti-tumor activity over the course of treatment. The study includes monitoring brain metastases status, organ function, and adherence to contraceptive measures for male patients with female partners of childbearing potential.
