Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of rilvegostomig combined with platinum-based chemotherapy compared to pembrolizumab combined with platinum-based chemotherapy as a first treatment for patients with locally advanced or metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer mNSCLC whose tumors express programmed death-ligand 1 PD-L1. This Phase III global study focuses on patients with PD-L1 tumor cell expression of 1% or higher and aims to determine which treatment provides better overall and progression-free survival. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two study groups one group will receive rilvegostomig plus carboplatin and either paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy, while the other group will receive pembrolizumab plus the same chemotherapy options. Rilvegostomig and pembrolizumab are both given intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, with chemotherapy given up to 4 cycles. Nab-paclitaxel may be administered on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle. Treatment continues with rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab until disease progression or other criteria are met. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor response, laboratory tests to monitor organ function, and patient questionnaires about physical function and quality of life. Researchers will track overall survival, progression-free survival, response rates, and duration of response for up to approximately 6 years. Safety and immune response to rilvegostomig will also be evaluated. Participants will be closely monitored throughout the treatment and follow-up periods.

Researchers are evaluating the clinical benefit of combining Navlimetostat BMS-986504, a selective MTA-cooperative inhibitor of PRMT5, with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy compared to placebo plus pembrolizumab and chemotherapy. This study focuses on participants with first-line metastatic non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC who have a homozygous MTAP deletion. The trial is a randomized Phase 23 study aimed at advancing treatment options for this specific lung cancer group. Participants will receive one of several combinations Navlimetostat plus pembrolizumab and chemotherapy, or placebo plus pembrolizumab and chemotherapy. Chemotherapy drugs involved may include cisplatin, carboplatin, pemetrexed, paclitaxel, or nab-paclitaxel, given at specified doses on certain days. The study uses a quadruple-masked, parallel design with multiple treatment arms to compare these regimens. During the study, participants will be monitored for progression-free survival and overall survival up to five years. Researchers will assess tumor response, disease control, duration and time to response, and safety through adverse event reporting and laboratory tests. The study includes detailed follow-up to evaluate efficacy and safety outcomes over the long term, with a primary completion date in 2031.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of a combination treatment including BMS-986489 a fixed dose combination of BMS-986012 and Nivolumab with Carboplatin plus Etoposide compared to Atezolizumab combined with Carboplatin plus Etoposide as a first-line therapy for participants with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. This is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter phase 3 trial sponsored by Bristol-Myers Squibb. Participants will receive either the experimental combination of BMS-986489 with Carboplatin and Etoposide or the comparator regimen of Atezolizumab with Carboplatin and Etoposide. Doses are given on specified days according to the study protocol. The study examines these treatments as initial therapy for this type of lung cancer. During the trial, participants will be closely monitored for overall survival over a period of up to 5 years. Researchers will also measure other outcomes such as time to clinical decline based on lung cancer symptom scores, response duration, progression-free survival, and the occurrence of adverse events up to 135 days after the last treatment. Regular assessments will include imaging and clinical evaluations to track treatment effects and safety throughout the study.

Researchers are evaluating the combination of elranatamab, daratumumab, and lenalidomide compared with the combination of daratumumab, bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone in adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are not candidates for transplant. This phase 3 study aims to determine whether the new combination offers better clinical benefits by assessing safety, tolerability, minimal residual disease negative complete response rates, and progression-free survival. The study has two parts. Part 1 focuses on characterizing the safety and tolerability of elranatamab combined with daratumumab and lenalidomide or with lenalidomide alone, and determining the best dose. Part 2 compares the effectiveness of elranatamab plus daratumumab and lenalidomide against the standard combination of daratumumab, bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone in participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Participants receive study drugs according to their assigned group, and dosing and combinations vary by part and arm. Participants will undergo regular assessments including monitoring of disease status, progression, and response using criteria such as minimal residual disease and progression-free survival. Safety will be monitored through adverse event reporting and laboratory tests. Quality of life will also be evaluated using questionnaires. The study may last up to several years, with follow-up extending up to 97 months to assess long-term outcomes and survival.

Metastatic colorectal cancer mCRC is a serious condition with limited treatment options after multiple therapies. Researchers are gathering detailed information on patients with mCRC who have already had at least two lines of systemic therapy. This registry aims to understand how these patients are treated and how they fare over time, collecting data from multiple cancer centers in Austria to better evaluate treatment patterns and outcomes. The study involves collecting existing medical data from patient charts, including treatment histories, test results, and imaging studies. Tumor tissue samples from deceased patients will be stored in a central biobank, and additional biological samples may be requested for specific research questions. No new diagnostic or treatment procedures are required beyond routine care. Data collection will continue until patient death or loss to follow-up. Participants involvement includes providing consent for their routine medical data to be recorded in the registry. Researchers will monitor overall survival, progression-free survival, response rates, and potential predictive biomarkers over a period of up to 10 years. Patient confidentiality is maintained by assigning unique identifiers, and no extra visits or therapies are needed beyond usual care.

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 effectiveness and safety of two combination treatments for adults with hormone receptor positive HR, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer that has a PIK3CA mutation. These patients have experienced recurrence or progression after treatment with a CDK46 inhibitor. This Phase 3, open-label, randomized study compares RLY-2608 zovegalisib plus fulvestrant against capivasertib plus fulvestrant to determine which treatment better controls the disease. Participants are assigned to one of two groups one group receives zovegalisib orally twice daily along with fulvestrant administered by injection on specific days during a 28-day treatment cycle the other group receives capivasertib orally twice daily on an intermittent weekly schedule plus fulvestrant injections on the same schedule. Treatment cycles repeat every 28 days. The study is conducted globally at multiple centers and continues until disease progression or other criteria are met. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including scans reviewed by blinded independent central review to measure progression-free survival, as well as monitoring overall survival, response rates, quality of life questionnaires, and safety evaluations. Blood samples are taken periodically to measure drug levels. The study may last up to approximately 77 months for outcome measurements, with ongoing monitoring for adverse events and quality of life changes throughout this period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of datopotamab deruxtecan Dato-DXd compared with docetaxel in patients with advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that tests positive for trophoblast cell surface protein 2 TROP2 but lacks actionable genomic alterations. This phase III, randomized, open-label study also aims to assess the clinical performance of an investigational diagnostic test related to TROP2 expression. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Dato-DXd or docetaxel as an intravenous infusion every three weeks. Each treatment is given on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle. The study includes two groups one receiving Dato-DXd monotherapy and the other receiving docetaxel monotherapy. The study will continue until disease progression or other discontinuation criteria are met. Throughout the study, participants will undergo regular assessments to measure progression-free survival and overall survival over approximately 2.5 to 3.5 years. Additional evaluations include response rates, duration of response, symptom assessments, quality of life questionnaires, and biomarker analyses. Safety monitoring and diagnostic testing will also be conducted. The total participation time will depend on individual treatment duration and follow-up requirements.

This research aims to evaluate the addition of venetoclax to standard induction and consolidation chemotherapy in adults newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia AML or myelodysplastic syndrome with excess blasts-2 MDS-EB-2. It is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind phase 3 clinical trial preceded by a dose-escalation feasibility phase to establish the venetoclax dose. The study is conducted across multiple centers and sponsored by the University of Ulm. Participants first undergo a feasibility run-in phase where venetoclax dosing is determined. Then, eligible patients are randomly assigned to receive either intensive chemotherapy combined with venetoclax or with a placebo. Treatment includes two cycles of induction chemotherapy followed by consolidation therapy based on initial randomization and established protocols. Patients achieving complete remission or certain other response states continue consolidation, and some may undergo allogeneic stem cell transplantation or other treatments depending on clinical factors. During the study, participants receive detailed evaluations including assessments of treatment safety and effectiveness. Researchers monitor event-free survival, dose-limiting toxicities, remission rates, relapse, survival, and quality of life using questionnaires and laboratory testing. Treatment adherence and safety are closely tracked. The study follows participants until at least 16 months after the last patient is enrolled, with some outcome measures extending to 28 months, to gather comprehensive data on treatment impact and patient health.
