Researchers are investigating treatments for women with recurrent endometrial cancer that expresses different levels of the HER2 protein. The study has two groups based on the tumor's HER2 score: Cohort 1 includes patients with HER2 IHC 1+ or 2+ who have previously received immune checkpoint inhibitors and platinum-based chemotherapy, while Cohort 2 includes patients with HER2 IHC 3+. The purpose is to compare the effectiveness and safety of the investigational drug BNT323 (also called DB-1303) against chemotherapy in Cohort 1 and to evaluate BNT323 alone in Cohort 2. The study also looks at how the drug affects the immune system, the body's handling of the drug, quality of life, and potential side effects. Participants in Cohort 1 are randomly assigned to receive either BNT323 via intravenous infusion or a chemotherapy drug chosen by the investigator (doxorubicin, paclitaxel, or docetaxel if paclitaxel is unsuitable). Treatment continues until the cancer progresses, unacceptable side effects occur, or the participant withdraws consent. Those in Cohort 2 receive BNT323 alone until disease progression or other discontinuation criteria are met. The study includes a screening period, a treatment period expected to last about six months, followed by safety monitoring, efficacy follow-up, and long-term survival follow-up lasting up to approximately 53 months. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor response by RECIST criteria, safety monitoring for adverse effects, and evaluations of quality of life. Researchers also study the pharmacokinetics of BNT323 and the immune response. The main outcomes measured are progression-free survival in Cohort 1 and objective response rate in Cohort 2. Safety follow-up ensures ongoing monitoring after treatment to evaluate longer-term effects and participant wellbeing.

Researchers are conducting a multicenter, open-label Phase 1 study to evaluate YL211 in patients with advanced solid tumors. The study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of YL211, a new drug given through intravenous infusion. It includes participants who have advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments or have no other approved therapeutic options. The study is divided into three parts. Part 1 is a dose-escalation phase to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended expansion dose (RED) by evaluating safety and tolerability. Part 2 involves additional enrollment to further assess safety and efficacy and help select the RED. Part 3 is a dose-expansion phase where the safety and efficacy of YL211 at the MTD or RED will be further evaluated. Participants receive YL211 intravenously until treatment discontinuation criteria are met. During the study, patients will be monitored for adverse events and dose-limiting toxicities, with evaluations following standard criteria such as RECIST version 1.1 for tumor response. Researchers will measure the overall response rate and track safety outcomes for approximately 36 months. Participants will have regular visits for assessments including physical exams, laboratory tests, and imaging to monitor the effects of the treatment and their overall health.

Researchers are investigating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of combining baxdrostat with dapagliflozin compared to dapagliflozin alone in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and high blood pressure. This Phase III, international, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to see if this combination reduces risks such as significant kidney function decline, kidney failure, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death. The study includes a 4-week run-in period where participants not previously treated with SGLT2 inhibitors receive dapagliflozin alone. After this, participants are randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat plus dapagliflozin or placebo plus dapagliflozin in a double-blinded manner. Study visits occur frequently initially (at 2, 4, 8, 16, 34, and 52 weeks after randomization) and then approximately every 4 months. If participants stop the blinded treatment early, they continue dapagliflozin alone unless specific criteria require its discontinuation. Participants will undergo regular assessments including blood pressure monitoring and laboratory tests related to kidney function and cardiovascular health. The primary outcome measures the reduction in risk of major kidney and heart events over up to 37 months. Even if participants stop the study treatment, they will continue follow-up visits and data collection to ensure comprehensive safety and efficacy evaluation throughout the study duration.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of HLX22 combined with trastuzumab and chemotherapy as the first treatment for patients with HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the gastric or gastroesophageal junction. This phase 2, double-blind, randomized, and multiregional study compares this combination against trastuzumab and chemotherapy with or without pembrolizumab. The study aims to measure how well the treatments work in controlling the disease and improving survival for up to five years. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives HLX22 at 15 mg/kg every three weeks along with trastuzumab, chemotherapy (XELOX regimen), and possibly a placebo for pembrolizumab. The other group receives a placebo for HLX22 plus trastuzumab, chemotherapy (XELOX), and possibly pembrolizumab every three weeks. Treatment continues until the disease worsens, unacceptable side effects occur, withdrawal of consent, or other protocol-specified reasons. Throughout the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including tumor scans reviewed by an independent committee to evaluate progression-free survival and overall survival over up to five years. Other evaluations include safety monitoring and organ function tests. The study tracks how long patients live without disease progression and overall survival, aiming to better understand the benefits and risks of HLX22 combined with current standard treatments.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of different doses of a new medicine called NNC0519-0130 on kidney function in adults with chronic kidney disease, some of whom may also have type 2 diabetes, and who are living with overweight or obesity. The study compares NNC0519-0130 with semaglutide, an existing medicine, and a placebo, which is a "dummy" treatment. This is a Phase 2 proof-of-concept and dose-finding study aimed at understanding how these treatments may reduce kidney damage. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups receiving either NNC0519-0130, semaglutide, or placebo. All treatments are given by subcutaneous injection once weekly. The study treatment phase lasts up to 36 weeks, with assessments at weeks 12, 24, and 36 to monitor changes in kidney damage by measuring the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio. The overall study duration can be up to 43 weeks. During the study, participants will be regularly monitored through laboratory tests and clinical evaluations to assess kidney function and safety. Researchers will measure changes from the start of the study in the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio at multiple time points. Participants will also need to have stable doses of certain blood pressure medications before joining. Safety and treatment effects will be assessed throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating ziltivekimab as a treatment for people living with heart failure and inflammation. This Phase 3 study compares ziltivekimab to a placebo in participants with heart failure who have mild to preserved ejection fraction and systemic inflammation. The study aims to assess the effect of ziltivekimab on cardiovascular death, heart failure hospitalization, or urgent heart failure visits over a period of up to 4 years. Participants will receive monthly injections of either ziltivekimab or a placebo using a pre-filled syringe or a pen-injector. The study medication is administered subcutaneously once a month for up to 4 years. The trial includes up to 20 clinic visits during which participants will be monitored and assessed. During the study, participants will use a study app on their phone to record all injections and complete questionnaires. Researchers will monitor participants for key outcomes like cardiovascular events and heart failure episodes from the time of randomization until the end of the study. Safety and health status will be regularly evaluated throughout the study period, which may last up to 48 months.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of RC220, a bisantrene formulation, alone and combined with doxorubicin in adults with advanced solid tumors where anthracycline treatment may be suitable. This phase 1, open-label, multi-center study aims to find the maximum tolerated dose of RC220 with doxorubicin and assess preliminary cardioprotective and anti-tumor effects in patients who have not previously received anthracyclines. The study has two parts: Part 1 involves dose escalation where patients receive intravenous RC220 alone on Day 1, then combined with doxorubicin (60 mg/m2 IV) on Day 1 of 21-day cycles, to establish the maximum tolerated combined dose. Part 2 is a dose expansion cohort where patients receive the determined maximum dose combination to further evaluate safety, tolerability, and early efficacy. Treatment continues until disease progression, unacceptable side effects, withdrawal, or study end. Participants will undergo safety and adverse event monitoring including dose limiting toxicities during the first 21-day treatment cycle and tracking of treatment-emergent and serious adverse events up to 30 days after the last dose, with follow-up potentially extending to 12 months. Researchers will assess tumor response per RECIST criteria and collect laboratory tests, imaging, and patient evaluations throughout the study to measure treatment effects and tolerability.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) are types of blood cancers that can cause symptoms like enlarged lymph nodes, spleen, or liver, night sweats, weight loss, and fever. People with these conditions have shorter life expectancy, creating an urgent need for new treatments to extend life and control symptoms. This research evaluates the safety and effectiveness of a drug called BGB-16673 compared to other treatments chosen by doctors in participants previously treated with both Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) and B-cell leukemia/lymphoma 2 protein inhibitors (BCL2i). Participants with relapsed or refractory CLL or SLL will be randomly assigned to receive either BGB-16673 taken orally or one of the investigator's chosen treatments, which include idelalisib plus rituximab (for CLL only), bendamustine plus rituximab, or venetoclax plus rituximab retreatment. The study plans to include approximately 250 participants worldwide. Treatments are given according to the assigned group to compare how well each controls disease progression. During the study, researchers will monitor participants for about 36 months to measure progression-free survival, which is the length of time patients live without their disease worsening. Participants will undergo assessments including imaging and laboratory tests to evaluate their health and treatment response. Safety and effectiveness will be closely followed throughout the study period to better understand the potential benefits and risks of BGB-16673 compared to other treatment options.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of adding LY3537982 (olomorasib) to standard anti-cancer drugs compared to standard treatment alone in participants with untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a specific KRAS G12C gene mutation. This pivotal Phase 3 trial includes participants with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC and considers their programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression levels. The study includes multiple parts: Dose Optimization, Part A, and Part B are randomized, while Safety Lead-In for Part B and Part C are non-randomized. Treatments being assessed include LY3537982 taken orally, pembrolizumab administered intravenously, and standard chemotherapy drugs such as cisplatin, carboplatin, and pemetrexed given intravenously. Participants receive these treatments according to their assigned groups based on their PD-L1 expression and tumor histology. Participants will be monitored with regular assessments including measuring disease progression, safety evaluations, and treatment emergent adverse events for up to approximately one year, with overall study participation potentially lasting up to three years depending on individual response and health status. Outcome measures focus on progression-free survival and safety, capturing any adverse events from the start of treatment until disease progression or death.

Researchers are investigating the effectiveness and safety of rilvegostomig combined with gemcitabine plus cisplatin compared to durvalumab combined with gemcitabine plus cisplatin as first-line treatments for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer, including cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder carcinoma. This is a global, phase III, randomized, open-label study focused on patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic disease who have not previously received treatment for advanced cancer. The study includes patients with known PD-L1 status and measurable tumors suitable for repeated evaluation. Participants will receive either rilvegostomig intravenously every three weeks along with gemcitabine and cisplatin given intravenously on days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle, or durvalumab intravenously every three weeks for up to eight cycles, followed by dosing every four weeks, along with the same chemotherapy regimen. Treatment is designed to evaluate first-line therapy effects, comparing these two immunotherapy combinations alongside standard chemotherapy. Throughout the study, patients will be closely monitored for overall survival, especially in those with PD-L1 expression of 1% or higher, over approximately four years. Assessments will include tumor measurements by CT or MRI using RECIST 1.1 criteria, performance status evaluations, and ongoing safety monitoring. The study aims to understand the impact of these treatments on survival and disease progression in advanced biliary tract cancer patients.
