Researchers are evaluating the safety, efficacy, and optimal dosing of a combination of two investigational treatments, BNT323 trastuzumab pamirtecan and BNT327 pumitamig, in people with advanced breast cancer. This includes those with hormone receptor-positive or -negative, HER2-positive, HER2-low, HER2-ultralow, HER2-null breast cancer, or triple-negative breast cancer. The study is a Phase III multi-site, open-label trial with a focus on advanced breast cancer treatment options. The study has two parts. Part 1 involves dose escalation of BNT323 combined with BNT327 to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose using six different dose levels. Part 2, which begins after Part 1 completion, includes dose optimization and exploratory cohorts. Cohort 1 in Part 2 uses randomization into four treatment arms, including combination therapy at different doses and monotherapies of either BNT323 or BNT327. Other cohorts receive the recommended dose without randomization. Participants will undergo assessments including tumor scans and cardiac function tests, with monitoring for side effects and tumor response up to 36 months. Researchers will track dose-limiting toxicities and treatment-emergent adverse events during early treatment cycles and monitor objective response rates and disease control over time. Safety and efficacy data will be collected through scheduled visits and tumor assessments during and after treatment to evaluate the study drugs effects and tolerability.

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 investigating new treatments for adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis or Crohns disease under a master protocol called Study IIBD. This Phase 2 trial evaluates multiple drugs to understand their safety and effectiveness in managing these conditions. Participants will be assigned to specific sub-studies and randomized to treatment groups, with the study lasting at least 62 weeks. The study includes two treatment periods. In the first period, participants may receive mirikizumab intravenously, or a combination of the oral drug LY4395089 with intravenous mirikizumab. Those who respond to treatment will then enter a second period where they receive mirikizumab through subcutaneous injections. These steps allow researchers to assess different dosing methods and combinations of these drugs. Participants will be monitored regularly throughout the study, including screening tests and laboratory evaluations to ensure eligibility and safety. Researchers will track the number of participants allocated to each treatment group up to day 42 as a primary outcome.

Participants are randomly assigned to receive either oral AZD0780 once daily or a matching placebo once daily. The study continues until a primary analysis censoring date, which may be up to approximately 54 months from randomization. After this, a study closure visit will be conducted as the final visit for each participant. During the study, participants will be regularly monitored for cardiovascular events including heart attacks, strokes, urgent coronary revascularizations, and other related outcomes. Researchers will track the time to first occurrence of these events as the primary outcome. Safety and other secondary outcomes like all-cause mortality will also be assessed. The total participation time can last up to about 54 months, with ongoing evaluations throughout this period.

Researchers are evaluating oral icotrokinra as a treatment for adults and adolescents with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the large intestine causing ulcers in the colon lining. The study aims to assess how well icotrokinra works, along with its safety and tolerability in this population. This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with a parallel group design including both adults and adolescents. Adult participants will be randomly assigned to receive either icotrokinra or placebo daily by mouth during a 12-week induction phase. At Week 12, those showing clinical response will enter a maintenance phase where they will continue icotrokinra or placebo daily for 40 weeks. Adults who do not respond will also enter the maintenance phase and receive icotrokinra. Adolescents will receive open-label icotrokinra during induction and then continue on icotrokinra during maintenance regardless of response. After completing the 40-week maintenance phase, eligible participants may join a long-term extension study. Participants will be monitored regularly through clinical assessments at specified time points including Week 12 for induction and Week 40 for maintenance. Outcomes measured include rates of clinical remission, symptom improvement, endoscopic and histologic healing, and quality of life scores. Safety will be evaluated by tracking adverse and serious adverse events throughout the study. The total study duration may extend up to approximately 6 years, ending in 2032, allowing long-term evaluation of icotrokinra in ulcerative colitis management.
