Researchers are evaluating an experimental drug called odronextamab combined with chemotherapy in adults with Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma DLBCL, including those who have not been treated before as well as those with relapsed or refractory disease. The study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, and dosing schedule of odronextamab with chemotherapy, and to compare its effectiveness against the current standard treatment of rituximab combined with chemotherapy. Additional goals include understanding side effects, drug levels in the blood, immune responses to the drug, and impact on quality of life and daily activities. The study consists of three parts Part 1A involves dose escalation to find a safe dose, Part 1B explores two dosing regimens of odronextamab combined with chemotherapy, and Part 2 randomly assigns participants to receive either odronextamab plus chemotherapy Odro-CHOP or rituximab plus chemotherapy R-CHOP. Odronextamab and rituximab are given by intravenous infusion, with chemotherapy drugs including cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone or prednisolone administered as part of the treatment regimen. Participants will be closely monitored throughout the study for side effects, disease progression, and response to treatment. Assessments include measuring dose limiting toxicities, treatment-emergent adverse events, progression free survival, quality of life questionnaires, and blood tests for drug levels and antibodies. The study follows participants for up to 5 years to track long-term outcomes and safety, with regular visits and evaluations scheduled during and after treatment.

This trial investigates the effectiveness and safety of two treatment combinations for people with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received one to three prior treatments and were previously treated with lenalidomide. It compares mezigdomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone MeziVd against pomalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone PVd to see which is better for this condition. The study is a Phase 3, randomized, open-label trial sponsored by Celgene. Participants receive either the MeziVd combination or the PVd combination, with specified doses given on certain days according to the study plan. These treatments are given as drugs, and participants are randomly assigned to one of these two groups to compare their effects. The study will continue for up to approximately five years to evaluate long-term outcomes. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly through various assessments including measuring disease progression, survival, response to treatment, and quality of life using specific questionnaires EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-MY20. Blood samples may be checked for drug levels, and adverse events will be tracked. The main focus is progression-free survival, measured from randomization until disease worsening or death. Participants health and responses will be followed for up to five years, with ongoing visits and evaluations throughout this period.

Researchers are collecting data from patients with myeloid diseases, including myelodysplastic syndromes MDS, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia CMML, acute myeloid leukemia AML, and primary myelofibrosis PMF. This observational study gathers real-world information about how these diseases are managed in Austria and potentially other countries in the future. It aims to better understand treatment patterns and outcomes for these conditions. The study uses an electronic case report form where clinical trial staff and physicians enter routine medical data already recorded in patient charts. Optional quality of life assessments, such as EQ-5D-5L and EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaires, may also be collected with proper approval. There are no experimental treatments involved, as it is a non-interventional registry. Participants provide informed consent and their medical records are reviewed over time to assess treatment types, responses, survival, safety, and quality of life. The study monitors these outcomes until completion, which is expected within about 100 months. This allows researchers to observe long-term patterns and effects of treatments in everyday clinical practice.

Researchers are investigating the use of Trastuzumab deruxtecan T-DXd in adults with unresectable or metastatic HER2-low and HER2-ultralow breast cancer. This includes patients who have previously received chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer or have hormone receptor-positive disease treated with endocrine therapy but are unsuitable for further endocrine treatment. The study aims to understand treatment effectiveness, patient characteristics, and experiences in a real-world setting through a non-interventional approach. Participants will be observed while receiving either T-DXd or conventional chemotherapy as part of their routine care, without any drug administration by the study itself. The study includes two groups one with patients having HER2-low breast cancer treated with T-DXd after prior chemotherapy, and another with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-low or HER2-ultralow breast cancer patients treated with either T-DXd or conventional chemotherapy but not prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease. Data will be collected on treatments, side effects, and management of adverse drug reactions. During the study, participants demographic and clinical data, treatment patterns, tolerability, and quality of life will be monitored over approximately 37 months. Assessments include the time to next treatment, treatment discontinuation, physician-reported safety events, patient-reported tolerability, quality of life questionnaires, and symptom diaries. This long-term observation will help evaluate real-world outcomes and patient experiences with T-DXd and conventional chemotherapy in this population.

Researchers are evaluating the HER2DX diagnostic assay in patients with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer to improve how treatment decisions are made. This international phase III study compares quality of life, safety, effectiveness, and economic impact between patients receiving standard care and those receiving treatment personalized by HER2DX test results. The study focuses on patients with stage II to IIIA disease eligible for neoadjuvant therapy. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups Arm A receives treatment chosen by their doctor without knowledge of HER2DX test results, following standard guidelines. Arm B receives personalized treatment based on HER2DX molecular diagnosis, which classifies patients into high-risk or low-risk groups with specific chemotherapy and antibody regimens before and after surgery. Treatments include paclitaxel, trastuzumab, pertuzumab, carboplatin, docetaxel, T-DM1, or no adjuvant therapy depending on risk and response. During the study, participants undergo assessments including quality of life questionnaires EORTC QLQ-C30 and FACIT Fatigue Scale, cancer response evaluations, safety monitoring, and economic analyses for up to five years. Researchers will measure outcomes such as survival, cancer recurrence, adverse events, work productivity, and patient-reported health status. Participants will have surgery after neoadjuvant treatment and regular follow-ups to monitor their health and treatment effects throughout the study period.
