Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of volrustomig compared to observation in participants with unresected locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma LA-HNSCC who have not progressed after receiving definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy cCRT. This phase III, randomized, open-label global study aims to assess whether volrustomig can improve outcomes in this patient population. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups those who receive volrustomig as sequential therapy, and those who undergo observation without additional treatment. The study compares these two approaches following prior curative concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The trial includes long-term follow-up to monitor patient outcomes. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed for progression-free survival, overall survival, physical functioning, and quality of life. Researchers will also monitor for the presence of anti-drug antibodies and adverse events related to volrustomig. Follow-up evaluations may continue for up to approximately eight years to fully understand the treatment impact and safety profile.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of Datopotamab Deruxtecan Dato-DXd with or without Durvalumab compared to investigators choice chemotherapy combined with Pembrolizumab in patients with PD-L1 positive locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer TNBC. This Phase III, randomized, open-label, international study aims to determine if Dato-DXd with Durvalumab can improve progression-free survival and overall survival while assessing quality of life impacts in this patient population. Participants are assigned to one of three groups Dato-DXd with Durvalumab, investigators choice chemotherapy paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, or gemcitabine plus carboplatin combined with Pembrolizumab, or Dato-DXd alone. All study drugs are given by intravenous infusion. The study includes stratification by geographic region, disease-free interval, and prior PD-1PD-L1 treatment. Treatment continues with monitoring up to about 33 months for progression-free survival and safety, with some outcomes followed up to 64 months. Throughout the study, participants undergo assessments including imaging to measure tumor response using RECIST criteria, laboratory tests, and questionnaires to evaluate symptoms and quality of life. 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 comparing two treatment combinations for adults with advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that have a specific KRAS p.G12C mutation and are negative for PD-L1 expression. The study aims to evaluate progression-free survival and overall survival between participants receiving sotorasib with platinum doublet chemotherapy and those receiving pembrolizumab with platinum doublet chemotherapy. This phase 3, randomized, open-label trial is led by Amgen and includes participants with stage IV or advanced stage IIIBC NSCLC. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either sotorasib orally combined with carboplatin and pemetrexed, or pembrolizumab intravenously combined with the same chemotherapy drugs. These treatments are given as front-line therapy. The study includes a treatment period with these drug combinations and monitoring for outcomes such as response rates and quality of life over several years. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed through various measures including survival status, tumor response, and quality-of-life questionnaires focusing on lung cancer symptoms. Researchers will monitor safety by tracking adverse events, vital signs, and laboratory tests. Treatment concentrations of sotorasib will also be measured up to 64 days after starting. The total study duration includes follow-up for up to approximately 5.5 years to fully evaluate treatment effects and outcomes.

This research aims to study the immune response to the nonavalent HPV 9vHPV vaccine in women living with HIV WLWH, a group particularly vulnerable to HPV and cervical cancer. There is limited data on reduced-dose schedules of the 9vHPV vaccine in this population, which is important as the previously used quadrivalent HPV vaccine has been discontinued. The study seeks to inform global strategies for cervical cancer elimination by evaluating different dosing schedules in WLWH aged 18 to 45 years. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups one group will receive three doses of the 9vHPV vaccine following the routine schedule at 0, 2, and 6 months, while the other group will receive two doses at 0 and 6 months, with a third dose at month 12. This design follows current recommendations and allows comparison of immune responses between the routine and extended dosing schedules. During the two-year follow-up, participants will undergo regular assessments to measure immune responses, specifically anti-HPV1618 antibody levels at months 7 and 24. Researchers will also evaluate vaccine safety, effectiveness, and attitudes toward self-collected HPV samples. Surveys will assess vaccine acceptability and comfort. The study includes monitoring for adverse events and aims to provide data to improve HPV vaccination programs for WLWH globally.

Researchers are studying finerenone to evaluate its safety and effectiveness in patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure who have mildly reduced or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. This international trial is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, focusing on how finerenone compares to placebo in reducing heart failure events and cardiovascular death. Participants receive either oral finerenone or a matching placebo while hospitalized or recently discharged for heart failure. The study monitors patients over approximately 30 months to assess the total heart failure events, cardiovascular death, and adverse events related to the treatment. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular assessments including symptom scoring using the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire, monitoring for serious adverse events, and evaluation of heart failure outcomes. The study tracks safety and efficacy data over the long term, with follow-up visits scheduled to measure the impact of treatment on morbidity and mortality in heart failure patients.

Researchers are conducting a Phase III, randomized, open-label multicenter study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of giredestrant compared with fulvestrant. Both drugs are combined with the investigators choice of a CDK46 inhibitor palbociclib, ribociclib, or abemaciclib in participants with estrogen receptor-positive ER, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer who have become resistant to prior adjuvant endocrine therapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups one group will receive giredestrant 30 mg orally daily on Days 1-28 of each 28-day cycle, while the other will receive fulvestrant 500 mg intramuscularly on Days 1 and 15 of Cycle 1 and Day 1 of subsequent 28-day cycles. Both groups will also receive a CDK46 inhibitor chosen by the investigator, with dosing schedules depending on the specific inhibitor selected. Preperimenopausal women and men will receive a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone LHRH agonist during treatment. Participants will be assessed for progression-free survival over up to 5 years, with additional measures including overall survival, response rates, duration of response, clinical benefit, and quality of life. Safety will be monitored through adverse event reporting, vital signs, and laboratory tests during treatment and up to 28 days after the last dose. The study is led by Hoffmann-La Roche and aims to provide detailed information on the treatments effects in this patient population.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of inavolisib combined with Phesgo compared to a placebo combined with Phesgo as maintenance treatment for participants with previously untreated HER2-positive advanced breast cancer that has a PIK3CA mutation. This Phase 3 study focuses on participants with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have completed induction therapy. Participants first receive induction therapy with Phesgo plus taxane-based chemotherapy. Following this, they enter the maintenance phase where they are randomly assigned to receive either inavolisib tablets taken orally once daily for 21 days of each 21-day cycle along with Phesgo administered subcutaneously every 3 weeks, or a matching placebo tablet with Phesgo on the same schedule. Optional endocrine therapy may be given based on the investigators choice according to standard care. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular monitoring including tumor assessments, quality of life questionnaires, and safety evaluations lasting up to approximately 111 months. Key outcomes measured include progression-free survival assessed by investigators, overall survival, response rates, duration of response, and adverse event rates. Plasma concentrations of inavolisib are also measured at specific timepoints. Participants will be followed closely during and after treatment to assess these outcomes over an extended period.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of amlitelimab, given as a subcutaneous injection, for treating moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis AD in participants aged 12 years and older. This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study includes participants who have not responded adequately to prior biologic or oral Janus kinase inhibitor JAKi therapies while using background topical corticosteroids TCS. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three groups receiving subcutaneous injections of either one of two doses of amlitelimab or a placebo, all alongside background TCS therapy. The treatment period lasts up to 36 weeks, followed by either a 16-week safety follow-up for those not entering the long-term safety study or no further treatment period for those entering the extension study. The entire study duration ranges up to 56 weeks for participants not entering the long-term safety study and up to 40 weeks for those who do.

This research aims to study an Internet-delivered Cognitive Behaviour Therapy ICBT program called the Alcohol Change Course Enhanced ACCE for people with alcohol misuse. The study focuses on whether engaging in helpful actions, measured by the Things You Do Questionnaire TYDQ, increases during this therapy and how these actions relate to reductions in alcohol use. The study also explores if increased adaptive actions support long-term improvements in alcohol misuse and psychological health. The ACCE is a six-lesson online program delivered over eight weeks through the Online Therapy Unit, a routine care clinic. Clients in Saskatchewan can choose between therapist-guided support with weekly secure messaging or self-guided versions, while clients from other Canadian provinces receive self-guided support only. The lessons cover topics like alcohol education, goal setting, coping strategies, and relapse prevention, highlighting the role of adaptive actions such as healthy thinking and social connections. Participants will be observed and assessed at baseline, mid-treatment, post-treatment, and follow-up. Data collected include alcohol consumption, adaptive actions, cravings, and mental health symptoms like depression and anxiety. Therapy progress and treatment credibility are also monitored. The study uses routine care data to understand changes over time, with total participation lasting up to 18 weeks after enrollment.
