Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab monotherapy as the first-line treatment for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer mNSCLC whose tumors express high levels of PD-L1. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, multicenter global study focuses on patients with mNSCLC without certain genetic mutations who are suitable for this treatment approach. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. The study compares these two drugs over repeated treatment cycles as first-line therapy. Both treatments are biological agents given by infusion, and the study is designed to monitor their effects over up to approximately five years. During the trial, participants will undergo regular assessments including physical exams, imaging scans such as CT or MRI to measure tumor lesions, and laboratory tests to evaluate organ function. Researchers will closely monitor overall survival, progression-free survival, treatment response, duration of response, and patient-reported outcomes on physical functioning and quality of life. Safety and immunogenicity of rilvegostomig will also be evaluated. Participants are followed and assessed for up to five years to gather comprehensive data on treatment effects and long-term outcomes.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab, both combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, as a first-line treatment for patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC whose tumors express PD-L1 at levels of 1% or higher. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, global study aims to compare these treatments to improve outcomes for this patient group. Participants will receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab, each given intravenously on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle, combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy either carboplatin or cisplatin also given on Day 1 of each cycle for up to four cycles. After chemotherapy cycles, patients continue with rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab monotherapy combined with pemetrexed maintenance. The study follows patients for up to approximately six years to monitor treatment effects and safety. During the study, participants undergo assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor size, blood tests to evaluate organ function, and questionnaires about symptoms and quality of life. Researchers monitor overall survival and progression-free survival as primary outcomes, alongside other measures such as response duration and physical functioning. Safety is closely observed throughout, with study visits scheduled regularly during treatment and follow-up periods, lasting up to six years in total.

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 the efficacy and safety of BGB-16673 compared with the investigators choice of treatments in participants with chronic lymphocytic leukemia CLL or small lymphocytic lymphoma SLL who have previously been treated with both Bruton Tyrosine Kinase inhibitors BTKi and B-cell leukemialymphoma 2 protein inhibitors BCL2i. This study addresses the urgent need for new treatments to extend life and control symptoms such as enlarged lymph nodes, spleen, or liver, night sweats, weight loss, and fever in these patients. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either BGB-16673 once daily or the investigators choice of treatment, which includes idelalisib plus rituximab for CLL only, bendamustine plus rituximab, or venetoclax plus rituximab retreatment. Treatments will continue until criteria for stopping treatment are met. This is a Phase 3, open-label, randomized study conducted globally with about 250 participants. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments to monitor disease progression and response to treatment. Researchers will evaluate progression-free survival, overall survival, response rates, duration of response, and quality of life measures over approximately 24 to 36 months. Safety will be closely monitored by tracking treatment-emergent adverse events. Participants involvement includes receiving study medication, regular visits, and various evaluations to assess treatment effects and side effects.

Researchers are evaluating camizestrant against standard endocrine therapy for patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer who have an intermediate or high risk of disease recurrence. These patients must have completed locoregional therapy and at least 2 to 5 years of standard adjuvant endocrine therapy. The study is a Phase III open-label trial focused on improving outcomes for these patients over a long-term period. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either camizestrant orally or continue with the standard endocrine therapy chosen by their investigator, which may include aromatase inhibitors exemestane, letrozole, anastrozole or tamoxifen. Treatment in each group lasts for 60 months. The study allows prior use of CDK46 inhibitors and includes a follow-up period extending up to 10 years from the last patient randomization. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments to monitor invasive breast cancer-free survival and other outcomes such as invasive disease-free survival, distant relapse-free survival, overall survival, and safety. Researchers will also evaluate symptoms like joint pain, hot flushes, and vaginal dryness using specific scales, along with quality of life measures and pharmacokinetics. Safety monitoring continues up to 28 days after the last dose, and participants remain under observation for up to 10 years total.

Researchers are evaluating elacestrant compared to standard endocrine therapies in adults with node-positive, Estrogen Receptor-positive ER, HER2-negative early breast cancer who are at high risk of cancer returning. The study focuses on those who have had prior endocrine therapy and aims to measure how well elacestrant may prevent invasive breast cancer recurrence over five years. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either 345 mg of elacestrant daily for five years or continue their prior standard endocrine therapy, which may include an aromatase inhibitor anastrozole, letrozole, or exemestane or tamoxifen. The trial is open-label, meaning both participants and researchers know which treatment is given. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor cancer recurrence, survival, side effects, and quality of life. Evaluations include questionnaires on health status and physical functioning at baseline, six months, and annually for up to five years. Safety is tracked through adverse event reporting up to five years plus 28 days. The total participation duration can last up to five years with ongoing monitoring and data collection.

Hidradenitis suppurativa HS is a painful inflammatory skin condition affecting areas like the underarms, groin, and genital regions. This trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of upadacitinib, an oral drug approved for other inflammatory diseases, in adults and adolescents with moderate to severe HS who have not responded well or cannot tolerate anti-TNF therapies. The study is double-blinded and involves multiple treatment periods to assess disease activity and side effects. Participants will take oral tablets of either upadacitinib or a placebo once daily during the first two periods, each lasting 36 weeks. In Period 1, participants are randomly assigned to receive either upadacitinib or placebo. Period 2 assigns participants to one of six groups based on their response in Period 1, with treatment continuing for 20 weeks. In Period 3, eligible participants continue their assigned treatment for an additional 68 weeks, followed by a 30-day follow-up. Throughout the study, participants will attend regular outpatient visits where medical assessments will monitor treatment effects and side effects. Questionnaires and clinical evaluations will be completed to measure changes in disease activity and quality of life. The trial aims to track the percentage of participants achieving clinical response and the occurrence of adverse events over the entire study duration, which may be longer than standard care treatments.

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.
