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 evaluating the long-term safety and effects of nerandomilast in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) who have previously completed treatment with nerandomilast in earlier studies. The study aims to understand how well participants tolerate nerandomilast over time, and whether it helps improve lung function, delays symptom worsening, reduces hospital visits, or impacts survival. This is a Phase 3 open-label extension trial. Participants take nerandomilast tablets daily for up to 1 year and 10 months while continuing their usual pulmonary fibrosis treatments. The study follows an open-label design where all participants receive nerandomilast. There are no placebo or comparator groups in this extension phase. Throughout the study, participants regularly visit their doctors for health assessments and lung function tests. Doctors monitor any health problems or side effects experienced during treatment. The main outcome measured is whether participants experience any adverse events up to the final follow-up visit, which occurs at week 99. This close monitoring helps evaluate the long-term safety and potential benefits of nerandomilast in this patient group.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of zanidatamab combined with a physician's choice of chemotherapy compared to trastuzumab combined with chemotherapy in treating adults with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. This study focuses on participants whose cancer has progressed or who cannot tolerate previous treatment with trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd). The study is a phase 3 randomized trial aiming to assess progression-free survival and other important outcomes such as patient-reported tolerability and physical functioning. Participants receive either zanidatamab or trastuzumab through intravenous infusion, alongside chemotherapy drugs chosen by their physician from eribulin, gemcitabine, vinorelbine (all intravenous), or oral capecitabine. The study includes detailed monitoring of drug safety and how the body processes zanidatamab. The treatments continue until disease progression or unacceptable side effects occur. During the study, participants undergo regular evaluations including scans to measure cancer progression according to RECIST guidelines. Researchers also monitor safety through laboratory tests and heart function assessments. Participants are followed for up to approximately 44 months to measure progression-free survival and overall treatment outcomes. Long-term follow-up and patient-reported outcomes help provide a complete understanding of the treatments' effects.

Researchers are conducting a Phase 3 study to compare two front-line treatments for adults with nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is stage IV or advanced stage IIIB/C. The study focuses on patients whose tumors have a KRAS p.G12C mutation and are negative for PD-L1 expression. The main goal is to evaluate how each treatment affects progression-free survival and overall survival over about 2.5 years. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either sotorasib combined with platinum doublet chemotherapy or pembrolizumab combined with platinum doublet chemotherapy. Sotorasib is given orally, while pembrolizumab is given intravenously. Both groups will receive the combination therapies as their initial treatment for advanced NSCLC. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly to assess treatment effects and safety. Researchers will track how long patients live without the cancer worsening and overall survival over approximately 2.5 years. The study includes evaluations to determine eligibility and ongoing assessments to monitor health and treatment response throughout the trial period.

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of two different dose schedules of pegozafermin compared to a placebo in adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) who have liver fibrosis at stage F2 or F3. This phase 3 study focuses on improving liver fibrosis and steatohepatitis in this patient group, which involves chronic liver disease associated with metabolic dysfunction. Participants will receive either pegozafermin or a placebo through subcutaneous injections. The study compares two doses of pegozafermin to assess their impact on liver fibrosis and steatohepatitis. The treatment period lasts up to 52 weeks, with outcomes measured at this time point. During the study, participants will be monitored for improvements in liver fibrosis and resolution of steatohepatitis without worsening fibrosis by week 52. Researchers will also track the time until any disease progression occurs, up to 5 years. Throughout the trial, safety and efficacy will be carefully assessed through clinical evaluations and laboratory tests to ensure participant well-being.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of a combination treatment including adagrasib, pembrolizumab, and platinum-doublet chemotherapy compared to a placebo combined with pembrolizumab and platinum-doublet chemotherapy. This study focuses on adults with previously untreated, locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a KRAS G12C mutation. The trial is a randomized, double-blind, phase 3 study designed to provide insights into treatment options for this specific lung cancer type. Participants receive either adagrasib plus pembrolizumab alongside platinum-doublet chemotherapy drugs such as carboplatin or cisplatin and pemetrexed, or they receive a placebo plus pembrolizumab and the same chemotherapy regimen. The dosages and schedules of these drugs are specified and administered on predetermined days. The trial compares these two treatment groups to understand better the impact of adding adagrasib to the existing pembrolizumab and chemotherapy treatment. Throughout the study, participants are closely monitored for progression-free survival and overall survival, assessed up to seven years using standardized criteria for tumor response. Regular imaging scans such as CT or MRI are used to measure disease status. Safety and tolerability are also evaluated during the study, with ongoing assessments to track adverse effects and treatment response. The total duration of follow-up allows for long-term observation of treatment outcomes and participant health.

Researchers are evaluating the combination of bleximenib, venetoclax (VEN), and azacitidine (AZA) compared to placebo with venetoclax and azacitidine alone in treating adults newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have specific gene mutations (NPM1 or KMT2A) and are not eligible for intensive chemotherapy. This is a phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study focusing on participants with AML harboring these genetic abnormalities. The study aims to assess treatment effectiveness by measuring complete remission rates and overall survival. Bleximenib and venetoclax are given orally, while azacitidine is administered either intravenously or under the skin. Participants will receive either the combination of bleximenib, venetoclax, and azacitidine or placebo with venetoclax and azacitidine, following a rigorous treatment schedule. The study includes an initial treatment period where the effects of these drugs are compared to determine their impact on AML with the given mutations. Participants will be closely monitored through regular assessments, including evaluations of remission status and survival over a period of up to 4 years and 1 month. Safety and treatment responses will be tracked throughout the study. Participants must consent to follow the study procedures and agree to contraception requirements during and after treatment. The trial involves continuous observation to gather comprehensive data on treatment outcomes and participant health.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of camizestrant compared to standard endocrine therapy in patients with early breast cancer that is estrogen receptor positive (ER+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-). These patients have an intermediate or high risk of cancer recurrence and have already completed local treatments such as surgery and possibly chemotherapy, alongside at least 2 years and up to 5 years of standard adjuvant endocrine therapy. The study is a Phase III, open-label trial designed to assess outcomes over a long term. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either camizestrant, an oral selective estrogen receptor degrader, or one of several standard endocrine therapies including tamoxifen, anastrozole, letrozole, or exemestane, administered according to local approved guidelines. The treatment duration for both groups is planned to last 60 months. Eligible patients may have previously used CDK4/6 inhibitors, and the study will specifically include those with intermediate or high risk of recurrence as determined by clinical and biological markers. During the study, participants will be monitored for up to 10 years from the last patient's randomization to evaluate invasive breast cancer-free survival. Additional outcomes include invasive disease-free survival, distant relapse-free survival, overall survival, safety, and clinical outcome assessments. The study involves ongoing assessments of health status, treatment effects, and safety to determine the long-term benefits and risks of camizestrant compared to standard therapies.

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in adult patients with advanced HER2-positive gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma who have previously been treated with a trastuzumab-based regimen. The study also collects patient demographic and clinical information, treatment patterns, and safety data including serious adverse events and drug reactions. It includes a disease registry for patients receiving conventional therapies in a real-world European setting. The study is non-interventional, meaning no investigational drugs are administered beyond standard care. Patients receiving T-DXd will be treated according to the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC), and data on conventional therapies such as platinum-fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy, nivolumab, ramucirumab-paclitaxel, taxane, irinotecan, and pembrolizumab will also be gathered. Treatment choices and administration follow the physician's decision and routine clinical practice. Participants will be monitored from baseline to about two years to assess the time to next treatment. Researchers will collect clinical data, treatment details, tolerability, and patient surveys to understand outcomes and safety. The study involves regular follow-up and data collection to track treatment effectiveness and patient experience in real-world settings.

Researchers are evaluating whether tucatinib combined with trastuzumab and mFOLFOX6 works better than the standard treatments for people with HER2 positive metastatic colorectal cancer, which is cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. This phase 3 study also aims to identify the side effects that may occur with this drug combination. Participants must have HER2 positive disease confirmed by testing and measurable cancer according to specific criteria. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive tucatinib taken orally twice daily along with intravenous trastuzumab and the mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy regimen, which includes oxaliplatin, leucovorin or levoleucovorin, and fluorouracil given by IV every two weeks. The other group will receive standard care, which could be mFOLFOX6 alone or combined with either bevacizumab or cetuximab, both given by IV on specific schedules. Treatment continues as per the study protocol. During the study, participants will be monitored for progression-free survival up to about three years using imaging reviewed by independent experts. Researchers will assess side effects and disease response. Participants must be able to provide tumor tissue samples for testing and have a good performance status. The study includes brain imaging to check for metastases and monitors safety closely throughout the treatment period.
