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.

The trial investigates the use of volrustomig in participants with unresected locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) who have not shown disease progression after receiving definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT). The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of volrustomig compared to observation in this patient population. Participants have tumors that express PD-L1 and the study is conducted as a Phase III, randomized, open-label, multi-center global trial. Participants are assigned to receive either volrustomig as sequential therapy following cCRT or to an observation group. The treatment period involves monitoring participants who have completed definitive cCRT but remain unresected and have no evidence of metastatic disease. The study focuses on participants with Stage III, IVA, or IVB LA-HNSCC according to AJCC criteria, who have not undergone tumor resection before cCRT and have not been treated with radiotherapy alone. During the study, participants are regularly evaluated for progression-free survival, with follow-up lasting up to approximately 8 years to assess long-term outcomes. Researchers will monitor safety and disease progression closely. The overall participation duration includes screening, treatment or observation, and extended follow-up to capture both efficacy and safety data over time.

Researchers are evaluating AZD0780, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor, in a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study to see if it can reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE-PLUS) in adults with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or those at high risk for a first ASCVD event. The study compares AZD0780 to a placebo and monitors participants from randomization until the primary analysis censoring date, followed by a final study closure visit. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either oral AZD0780 or an oral placebo once daily. The treatment period lasts until the primary analysis censoring date, after which a study closure visit will occur. The study is event-driven and designed to assess the time to the first major cardiovascular event during treatment. During the study, participants will be closely monitored with various assessments to evaluate cardiovascular outcomes and safety over approximately 54 months. Researchers will track the time to first event of any component of MACE-PLUS and collect data to assess the effect of AZD0780 compared to placebo. The study includes regular visits and evaluations to ensure participant safety and adherence to treatment.

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 combining inavolisib with a cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i) and letrozole compared to placebo plus CDK4/6i and letrozole. This study focuses on participants with endocrine-sensitive PIK3CA-mutated hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer. It aims to assess treatment outcomes in the first-line setting for this specific breast cancer type. Participants will be assigned to receive either oral inavolisib once daily or a matching oral placebo once daily. All participants will also receive a CDK4/6 inhibitor on either Days 1-21 or Days 1-28 of each 28-day cycle, along with daily oral letrozole. This randomized, double-blind study will compare these two treatment combinations to monitor differences in disease progression and safety. Throughout the study, researchers will evaluate progression-free survival from the time of randomization until disease progression or death, up to 7 years. Participants will undergo assessments including tumor measurements by RECIST criteria, performance status evaluations, and monitoring of blood and organ function before treatment begins. Safety and efficacy will be closely observed during treatment, aiming to provide detailed long-term data on the study therapies.

Researchers are evaluating treatments for participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplantation. This Phase 3 study compares if the combination of belantamab mafodotin, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (BRd) can extend progression-free survival or increase the number of participants achieving minimal residual disease negative status compared with the combination of daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (DRd). Participants will receive either BRd or DRd treatment. Belantamab mafodotin, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone will be administered in the BRd group, while daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone will be given in the DRd group. The study will monitor participants over approximately 7 years to assess long-term outcomes. During the study, participants will undergo assessments to measure progression-free survival and minimal residual disease status. Researchers will collect clinical data, laboratory tests, and safety information throughout the treatment and follow-up periods. The total duration of participation may last up to about 7 years to evaluate long-term effects and outcomes of the treatments.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of calderasib combined with pembrolizumab as a first treatment in adults 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. This Phase 3 trial aims to test if the combination of calderasib and pembrolizumab improves progression-free survival and overall survival compared to pembrolizumab with a placebo. Participants receive oral calderasib tablets or placebo along with pembrolizumab given by intravenous infusion. The study compares these two treatment groups to see which provides better outcomes. Treatments continue during the study, and there are no additional interventions described beyond these drugs. During the trial, participants undergo regular assessments including scans and tests to monitor their cancer's progression and overall health. The main outcomes measured are progression-free survival for up to about 42 months and overall survival for up to about 56 months. Safety is monitored throughout, and participants are followed for several years to evaluate long-term effects of the treatments.

Researchers are evaluating sacituzumab tirumotecan alone and combined with pembrolizumab compared to the treatment chosen by a physician for people with hormone receptor positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HR+/HER2-) breast cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread to other parts of the body. This study focuses on participants whose cancer has progressed despite prior endocrine therapy, including treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor. The main goal is to see if these treatments improve progression-free survival, which means the length of time the cancer does not worsen, over up to approximately 38 months. Participants receive sacituzumab tirumotecan as an intravenous infusion, either alone or combined with intravenous pembrolizumab. The comparison group receives the treatment of physician's choice, which may include intravenous paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, liposomal doxorubicin, or oral capecitabine. The study is open-label and randomized, meaning participants are assigned to different treatment groups openly. Treatments are administered according to the study protocols, with ongoing monitoring during the treatment period. Throughout the study, participants are monitored regularly to assess their cancer status and overall health. This includes evaluations by blinded independent central review using RECIST 1.1 criteria to measure tumor progression. Researchers also assess safety, organ function, and performance status. The total participation time may last up to around 38 months to track progression-free survival and other outcomes. Careful monitoring helps ensure participant safety and collects data on treatment effectiveness and side effects.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of finerenone compared to a placebo in patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure who have mildly reduced or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. This international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial aims to understand how finerenone affects morbidity and mortality in this patient group. Participants will receive either oral finerenone or a matching oral placebo. The study focuses on patients currently hospitalized or recently discharged with heart failure symptoms and specific heart function measures. The trial is event-driven and will continue for up to approximately 30 months to collect sufficient data on outcomes. During the study, researchers will monitor the total number of heart failure events and cardiovascular deaths, as well as track serious adverse events and any adverse events that lead participants to stop the study drug. These ongoing assessments will help evaluate the overall safety and impact of the treatment over the duration of the trial.

This is a Phase III, randomized, open-label multicenter study that will evaluate the efficacy and safety of giredestrant compared with fulvestrant, both in combination with the investigator's choice of a CDK4/6 inhibitor (palbociclib, ribociclib or abemaciclib), in participants with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer who have developed resistance to adjuvant endocrine therapy.
