Researchers monitor time to disease progression, overall survival, response duration, and safety outcomes. Follow-up includes evaluation of subsequent therapies and pharmacokinetics. The total participation duration can be up to several years to capture long-term outcomes.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of combining inavolisib with a cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitor CDK46i and letrozole compared to placebo plus CDK46i and letrozole in adults with endocrine-sensitive PIK3CA-mutated hormone receptor-positive HR, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. This phase III, randomized, double-blind study focuses on participants who have measurable disease and meet specific hormone receptor and HER2 status criteria. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either oral inavolisib once daily along with letrozole and CDK46i or placebo once daily with letrozole and CDK46i. The CDK46i is given on a schedule of either Days 1-21 or Days 1-28 of each 28-day cycle. The study includes parallel groups to compare these treatment combinations over time. During the study, participants will be monitored for progression-free survival, overall survival, response rates, duration of response, clinical benefit, and changes in pain, physical function, and global health status. Safety will be assessed by tracking adverse events and patient-reported treatment side effects using questionnaires. The study will follow participants for up to seven years, with regular evaluations to track disease status and quality of life.

Researchers are evaluating treatments for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma in patients who cannot undergo autologous stem cell transplantation. This Phase 3 study compares two drug combinations belantamab mafodotin with lenalidomide and dexamethasone BRd versus daratumumab with lenalidomide and dexamethasone DRd. The goal is to see if BRd extends progression-free survival and improves minimal residual disease negative status compared to DRd. Participants receive either BRd or DRd treatment, continuing until disease progression, death, unacceptable side effects, withdrawal, or study end. Both treatment arms involve the administration of lenalidomide and dexamethasone alongside either belantamab mafodotin or daratumumab. Treatment duration may last up to approximately seven years. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including monitoring disease progression, response to treatment, and side effects. Measurements include progression-free survival, overall survival, and the number achieving minimal residual disease negative status. Quality of life questionnaires and blood tests will also be conducted. Safety monitoring includes eye exams and tracking adverse events throughout the study duration.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of combining calderasib with pembrolizumab as the first treatment for people with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has a specific KRAS G12C mutation and a PD-L1 tumor proportion score of 50% or higher. The study compares this combination to pembrolizumab with a placebo to see if it improves the time participants live without the cancer worsening and overall survival. Participants receive pembrolizumab through an intravenous infusion every 21 days for up to 35 cycles. They also take calderasib or a matching placebo by mouth daily until they meet criteria to stop treatment. The study is randomized and double-blind, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives calderasib or placebo. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor cancer progression, overall survival, response rate, and quality of life measures through questionnaires. Safety will be closely monitored by tracking adverse events and treatment discontinuations. The study may last up to about 56 months, including follow-up to observe long-term outcomes and quality of life changes.
