Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab as first-line treatments for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) whose tumors have high PD-L1 expression. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, and global study focuses on participants with stage IV mNSCLC who do not have certain genetic mutations or rearrangements and are eligible for systemic therapy. Participants receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. The study compares these two biological treatments given as monotherapy. Both groups will be monitored over time to assess treatment impact and safety. Throughout the study, participants undergo evaluations including tumor measurements by CT or MRI, performance status assessments, and organ function tests. Researchers will measure overall survival and progression-free survival for up to approximately five years. Tumor samples are collected before treatment for central testing, and participants’ health and treatment responses are closely followed during the trial period.

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 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.

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 how well elacestrant works compared to standard endocrine therapy in adults with node-positive, Estrogen Receptor-positive (ER+), Human Epidermal Growth Factor-2 negative (HER2-) early breast cancer who are at high risk of the cancer returning. This is a Phase 3 global, multicenter, randomized, open-label study focusing on participants who have had early invasive breast cancer removed and meet specific receptor and risk criteria. The study aims to understand which treatment better prevents invasive breast cancer over up to five years. Participants will receive either elacestrant or one of several standard endocrine therapies, including anastrozole, letrozole, exemestane, or tamoxifen, all given as oral tablets. Treatments will be administered according to the study plan, with careful monitoring throughout the trial. The study includes adults who have already received between 24 and 60 months of prior endocrine therapy, with or without certain inhibitors, and who have completed or stopped these treatments as required. During the study, participants will be monitored for invasive breast cancer-free survival for up to five years. Researchers will perform regular assessments to track treatment effects, side effects, and cancer recurrence. The study also includes safety monitoring and may involve additional tests or evaluations as needed to ensure participant well-being throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of Ifinatamab Deruxtecan (I-DXd) compared to treatment chosen by physicians for adults with relapsed extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). The study aims to find out if I-DXd can improve the objective response rate, meaning the proportion of patients whose cancer shrinks or disappears, and extend overall survival time compared to other treatments. Secondary goals include assessing safety, patient-reported outcomes, immune response to I-DXd, B7-H3 protein levels, and how the drug is processed in the body. Participants will receive either I-DXd at a dose of 12 mg/kg given intravenously on the first day of each 21-day treatment cycle or one of the physician's choice treatments including Topotecan, Amrubicin, or Lurbinectedin, administered according to local standards of care. The study is randomized and open-label, meaning treatments are assigned by chance and both patients and doctors know which treatment is given. During the study, participants will be closely monitored with tumor assessments to evaluate response and detect disease progression, safety evaluations, and quality of life questionnaires. The main outcomes measured are the objective response rate assessed by a blinded independent review and overall survival time, tracked for up to approximately five years after randomization. Researchers will also monitor for any adverse effects and collect health economics data to understand the broader impact of treatments.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of opevesostat combined with hormone replacement therapy compared to alternative treatments with abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide in people with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have already been treated with one next-generation hormonal agent. This Phase 3 study aims to determine whether opevesostat improves radiographic progression-free survival, assessed by independent central review, in participants with or without androgen receptor ligand binding domain mutations. Participants will receive either oral opevesostat along with hormone replacement therapy drugs such as dexamethasone and fludrocortisone acetate, or they will receive alternative oral treatments including abiraterone acetate with prednisone acetate or enzalutamide. Hydrocortisone can be used as a rescue drug if needed. The study is open-label and randomized, comparing these treatment strategies in participants who have progressed after prior hormonal therapy. During the study, participants will undergo assessments including imaging scans to monitor disease progression. Researchers will measure radiographic progression-free survival up to approximately 52 months. Safety and overall survival are also monitored as secondary outcomes. Participants must attend scheduled visits for evaluations, provide tumor tissue samples, and have ongoing monitoring of organ function, hormone levels, and other relevant health parameters throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of a new combination treatment using BMS-986489 (a fixed dose combination of BMS-986012 and Nivolumab) alongside Carboplatin and Etoposide compared to the current standard treatment with Atezolizumab plus Carboplatin and Etoposide. This study focuses on adults with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer and is conducted as a phase 3 randomized, double-blind, multicenter trial. The goal is to find out which combination works better as a first-line therapy for this advanced lung cancer. Participants will receive either BMS-986489 combined with Carboplatin and Etoposide or Atezolizumab combined with Carboplatin and Etoposide. Each drug will be given at specified doses on certain days according to the study protocol. The study compares these two treatment approaches to see their effects and safety when used as initial therapy for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. During the study, participants will be closely monitored over a period of up to 5 years to assess overall survival. Researchers will use imaging techniques like CT scans or MRIs to measure tumor response and will evaluate participants' health and ability to perform normal activities. Safety and side effects will also be tracked throughout the study to ensure participant well-being.
