Researchers are investigating BGB-16673, a targeted protein degrader aimed at treating various B-cell cancers including marginal zone lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Waldenström macroglobulinemia, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The study includes both Phase 1 and Phase 2 parts to determine safe and effective dosing and to evaluate the drug's response in patients. The trial is conducted under the new company name BeOne Medicines, previously known as BeiGene. The treatment involves oral administration of BGB-16673. Phase 1 focuses on dose escalation and safety expansion to identify the maximum tolerated dose and recommended dose for expansion over approximately 28 days to 3 years. Phase 2 includes expansion cohorts to assess overall response rates over about 3 years. Participants may have prior treatments including Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors and other anticancer therapies depending on their cancer type and study phase. Participants will be monitored closely with assessments of adverse events from the first dose until 30 days after the last dose or before starting new therapy, whichever comes first, for up to 47 weeks. The study measures tolerability, dosing recommendations, and treatment response. Eligibility assessments include performance status and measurable disease, with safety and response evaluations continuing through both phases for up to three years.

Researchers are studying BAY 3713372, a new drug being developed to treat solid tumors with a specific genetic change called MTAP deletion. The drug works by blocking a protein called PRMT5, which may kill cancer cells with this deletion while sparing normal cells. This first-in-human study aims to understand the safety, how the body processes the drug, and its effectiveness in people with these MTAP-deleted solid tumors. Participants will receive BAY 3713372 orally every day. The study starts with a dose escalation phase, where different groups get increasing doses to find a safe and effective dose. After this, a dose expansion phase will include more participants receiving the drug alone or with other treatments. Participants can continue treatment as long as they benefit and do not experience severe problems. During the study, participants will visit the study site multiple times before and during treatment, and follow-up visits after treatment ends. Doctors will monitor health through blood and urine tests, heart checks with electrocardiograms, and imaging scans like CT or MRI to track cancer changes. Tumor samples may also be taken. Safety and treatment response will be closely assessed, including adverse events and how the drug behaves in the body. Participants will be contacted every three months for up to two years after treatment to check their health.

The study period for measuring outcomes extends up to 35 months, allowing for long-term observation of safety, treatment response, and drug behavior in the body.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of Datopotamab Deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) with or without durvalumab compared to the investigator's choice chemotherapy combined with pembrolizumab in patients who have PD-L1 positive locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). This Phase III, randomized, open-label, international study aims to see if adding durvalumab to Dato-DXd can help patients live longer without their cancer worsening or simply live longer compared to standard chemotherapy with pembrolizumab. The study also examines how the treatments and cancer impact patients' quality of life. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: Dato-DXd plus durvalumab, Dato-DXd alone, or investigator's choice chemotherapy (paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, or gemcitabine plus carboplatin) combined with pembrolizumab. All treatments are given by intravenous infusion. The study design includes stratification based on geographic location, disease-free interval history, and prior PD-1/PD-L1 treatment for early-stage TNBC. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor their disease status using RECIST 1.1 criteria and undergo imaging reviewed by blinded independent central review. Researchers will track progression-free survival, quality of life, safety, and other health measures over an anticipated period of up to 33 months. Participants must provide tumor samples for PD-L1 testing, and safety monitoring will continue throughout the study.

Researchers are conducting a phase III randomized, open-label, multicenter trial across several countries including Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Italy, Australia, and New Zealand. The study focuses on elderly patients with untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), defined as patients aged 80 years or older, or those aged 75 years or older who are considered frail based on a simplified Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment. The trial aims to compare the effectiveness of two treatment regimens in this population. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the standard R-miniCHOP treatment or an experimental R-pola-miniCHP regimen where vincristine is replaced with an immunoconjugate, polatuzumab vedotin. Both treatments involve cycles of drugs including rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone, administered over 18 weeks. The trial includes a screening period lasting up to 4 weeks, followed by the active treatment phase, and then a follow-up period lasting up to 36 months after treatment completion.
