Researchers are evaluating new treatments for people with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (HR NMIBC), a type of bladder cancer that has not spread to the muscle but has a high chance of worsening or returning. This cancer type may include carcinoma in situ (CIS), which is a flat, surface-level bladder cancer. The study aims to learn whether adding intismeran autogene (V940), a treatment designed to boost the immune system's attack on cancer, to the standard Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) immunotherapy can help people live longer without the cancer growing, spreading, or coming back. Participants will receive either the combination of V940 with BCG or BCG alone. BCG is given as a bladder instillation, while V940 is given as an intramuscular injection. The study is phase 2, open-label, and randomized. As of a 2026 amendment, outcome measures for a monotherapy arm of V940 are no longer primary or secondary. Treatment is focused on Cohort A, which includes people with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who are BCG-naïve or meet specific recurrence criteria. During the study, participants will be monitored for event-free survival for up to approximately 5 years. Researchers will assess how long participants live without the cancer worsening or returning. The study includes regular evaluations, imaging, and safety monitoring. The total duration of participation depends on individual outcomes and follow-up but includes long-term observation to assess treatment effects and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of combining petosemtamab with pembrolizumab compared to pembrolizumab alone as a first treatment for people with recurrent or metastatic PD-L1 positive head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). This Phase 3, randomized, open-label study focuses on patients who have not received previous systemic therapy for incurable recurrent or metastatic disease, though prior therapy for locally advanced disease is allowed under certain conditions. The study excludes patients who have been treated with anti PD-(L)1 or anti-EGFR therapies except in specific cases. Participants will receive either the combination of petosemtamab plus pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab alone as their first-line treatment for this condition. The study includes detailed eligibility criteria based on tumor location, PD-L1 expression, health status, and prior treatments. Treatment effects will be observed over time with a focus on overall survival and tumor response rates measured according to standard criteria. During the study, participants will undergo assessments including tumor biopsies, imaging scans to measure disease progression, heart function tests, and evaluations of organ function. Safety and treatment response will be closely monitored up to approximately three years. The study also tracks overall survival and tumor response rate as primary outcomes, ensuring continuous follow-up and support throughout the trial period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of KarXT combined with KarX-EC in adults aged 55 to 90 who have agitation related to Alzheimer's Disease. This phase 3 study aims to better understand how these treatments impact agitation symptoms in this population by comparing them to a placebo group. Participants must have a confirmed Alzheimer's diagnosis and meet specific criteria for agitation severity to join the study. Participants will receive either the Xanomeline/Trospium Chloride Capsule, Xanomeline Enteric Capsule, or a placebo, each given at specified doses on designated days. The study is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled to ensure reliable comparison of treatment effects. The treatment period lasts through Week 14, during which dosing schedules are closely followed. Throughout the study, participants will be regularly assessed using the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory-International Psychogeriatric Association (CMAI-IPA) to measure changes in agitation levels from baseline to Week 14. Caregivers will provide reports on participant status and help ensure medication compliance. Safety and symptom changes will be carefully monitored to evaluate the treatments' effects during this period.

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 want to know if intismeran autogene (the study treatment) given with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy can treat metastatic treatment-naive squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Intismeran autogene is designed to help a person's immune system attack their specific cancer. The goal of this study is to learn if people who receive intismeran autogene with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy live longer overall and without the cancer growing or spreading compared to people who receive placebo with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy. A placebo looks like the study treatment but has no study treatment in it. Using a placebo helps researchers better understand the effects of the study treatment.

Researchers are evaluating whether adding intismeran autogene to pembrolizumab after surgery can help people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain cancer-free longer compared to pembrolizumab with a placebo. This study focuses on patients with NSCLC whose tumors did not completely respond to treatment before surgery and aims to prevent the cancer from returning. It is a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind study involving participants with resectable Stage II to IIIB (N2) NSCLC. Participants receive treatments including pembrolizumab given as an intravenous infusion and either intismeran autogene or placebo administered as an intramuscular injection. Before surgery, patients have received neoadjuvant pembrolizumab combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, but only those who did not achieve a complete pathological response are eligible. The study compares the effects of pembrolizumab with or without intismeran autogene following surgery. During the study, participants are closely monitored for disease-free survival over a period of up to approximately 97 months. Researchers will assess whether the cancer returns and evaluate overall safety. Participants undergo regular evaluations including clinical assessments and laboratory tests to monitor their health and treatment response throughout the study period.

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, tolerability, drug levels, and early biological and clinical effects of BMS-986458, a bifunctional cereblon-dependent ligand-directed degrader of B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6). This study focuses on participants with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (R/R NHL) and explores BMS-986458 both alone and in combination with other anti-lymphoma agents. The study involves administering BMS-986458 at specified doses on designated days. It also evaluates combinations with other lymphoma treatments including Rituximab, Glofitamab/Obinutuzumab, and Mosunetuzumab, each given at specified doses on scheduled days. This is a Phase 1/2, multi-center, open-label, dose-finding study designed to determine the best dose and evaluate multiple treatment regimens. Participants will be monitored for safety and effectiveness through assessments of adverse events, including serious events and those causing treatment discontinuation or death, over a period of up to two years and one month. The study will track drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics as well as preliminary efficacy. Participants must follow a pregnancy prevention plan and undergo evaluations including imaging to confirm measurable disease. The study aims to provide data on the tolerability and biological activity of these treatments in R/R NHL patients.

Researchers are conducting a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of KarXT in men and women aged 55 to 90 years who have mild to severe Alzheimer's Disease with moderate to severe psychosis related to the condition. The main goal is to compare KarXT against a placebo by measuring changes in hallucinations and delusions using the Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Clinician (NPI-C) score. Participants will receive different doses of KarXT ranging from 20/2 mg to 66.7/6.67 mg daily or placebo capsules. The study is designed to compare the effects of KarXT with placebo in a parallel group format, maintaining the double-blind setup to ensure unbiased results. During the study, participants will be assessed at the start and end of treatment (up to 14 weeks) to evaluate changes in psychotic symptoms. They will undergo clinical scales such as the NPI-C and the Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) scale. The study also requires imaging scans like MRI or CT to rule out other brain diseases. A study partner who has regular contact with the participant will be involved to support adherence and observation. Safety and efficacy will be monitored throughout the treatment period.
