Researchers are evaluating the effects of reduced-dose radiotherapy (40.2Gy) compared to conventional-dose radiotherapy (49.2Gy) on low-risk target volumes in patients with chemosensitive intermediate-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma. This phase 3 trial includes patients who have responded well to induction chemotherapy and whose plasma EBV-DNA levels have dropped to zero or below detection limits. The goal is to see if lowering the radiation dose can maintain treatment effectiveness while reducing side effects and improving quality of life. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either reduced-dose or conventional-dose radiotherapy targeting the CTV2 area, while both groups receive the full course of PD-1 monoclonal antibody immunotherapy. The immunotherapy consists of 12 courses given every three weeks, starting with induction chemotherapy and continuing through radiotherapy and post-radiotherapy maintenance. Induction chemotherapy includes three cycles of gemcitabine and cisplatin or alternative drugs, administered intravenously. Throughout the study, patients will be closely monitored for progression-free survival and the occurrence of significant adverse events over three years. Researchers will assess survival outcomes, side effects, and quality of life differences between the two groups. Regular evaluations include imaging, laboratory tests, and clinical assessments to ensure patient safety and treatment effectiveness during the entire follow-up period.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of a drug called B007 compared to Cyclosporin in treating Primary Membranous Nephropathy, a kidney condition confirmed by biopsy. This study is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label trial in phase II/III, focusing on patients aged 18 to 80 years with certain kidney function levels and proteinuria. Participants will receive either B007 via subcutaneous injections on days 1 and 15 or oral Cyclosporin capsules dosed at 3.5 mg per kg per day. The study includes screening to confirm eligibility, treatment administration, and monitoring for approximately two years to evaluate overall remission rates. Throughout the trial, participants will be monitored with laboratory tests to meet study standards and ensure safety. Researchers will assess kidney function, protein levels in urine, and remission rates over about two years. Safety will be followed closely, including checking for allergies, infections, and adherence to the treatment protocol.

Researchers are studying whether combining calderasib, a targeted therapy for the KRAS G12C mutation, with subcutaneous pembrolizumab can treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study aims to determine if people receiving calderasib with pembrolizumab live longer without their cancer growing or spreading compared to those receiving pembrolizumab with chemotherapy. This is a phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter clinical trial focusing on participants with advanced or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC carrying the KRAS G12C mutation. Participants will receive one of two treatment combinations. One group will take calderasib orally along with subcutaneous pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa injections. The other group will receive subcutaneous pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy drugs pemetrexed and a platinum-based drug, either carboplatin or cisplatin, administered by intravenous infusion. These treatments are given as first-line therapy, and the study evaluates their safety and effectiveness. During the study, researchers will monitor participants for progression-free survival, especially focusing on those with at least 1% PD-L1 tumor proportion score, for up to approximately 48 months. Participants will undergo regular assessments to track cancer progression and response to treatment. Safety and efficacy data will be collected throughout the study to understand how well the treatments work and their side effects over time.

Researchers are evaluating new treatment options for adults with locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery and has a specific KRAS G12C gene mutation. This study compares the safety and effectiveness of adding calderasib and cetuximab, both targeted therapies, to a standard chemotherapy regimen called mFOLFOX6. The goal is to see if this combination can help patients live longer without their cancer growing or spreading compared to current treatments that may include mFOLFOX6 with or without bevacizumab. The study has two parts. It involves treatment with calderasib taken as an oral tablet, cetuximab given according to standard procedures, and mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy combining oxaliplatin, leucovorin/levofolinate calcium, and 5-fluorouracil. Some participants may receive bevacizumab or a bevacizumab biosimilar as part of the comparison. The treatments are given following approved dosing schedules. This design allows researchers to assess the safety and tolerability of these drug combinations in treating this type of colorectal cancer with the KRAS G12C mutation. Participants will be monitored for side effects, treatment tolerability, and cancer progression over a period that may last up to about 44 months. Researchers will track outcomes such as how many participants experience dose-limiting toxicities or adverse events, how many stop treatment due to side effects, and progression-free survival time. Assessments include health evaluations, laboratory tests, and imaging to observe cancer status. This long-term follow-up aims to understand both safety and effectiveness of the treatment combinations.

Researchers are evaluating a new treatment called ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd) for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This study compares I-DXd to chemotherapy to see if it helps people live longer overall and live longer without their cancer worsening. It is a Phase 3, open-label trial focused on patients who have progressed on prior therapies and have evidence of metastatic disease. Participants receive either I-DXd through an intravenous infusion every 3 weeks or docetaxel chemotherapy administered every 3 weeks. Prednisone tablets are also given daily as part of the treatment plan. Before each I-DXd dose, premedication is provided to help prevent nausea and vomiting using a combination of drugs such as corticosteroids and anti-nausea medicines. Treatment continues until disease progression, unacceptable side effects, or other reasons to stop. During the study, researchers monitor overall survival and how long patients live without their cancer progressing, for up to about 36 months. Participants undergo tumor tissue collection, scans, and assessments to track disease status and side effects. Safety is closely watched throughout treatment. The study includes men aged 18 and older with confirmed prostate cancer and metastatic disease who have previously received certain hormone therapies but no prior taxane chemotherapy for mCRPC.

Researchers are conducting a phase III, randomized, open-label, multicenter clinical trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of TQB2102 for injection compared to the chemotherapy regimen TCbHP in the neoadjuvant treatment of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. The study aims to assess key outcomes including the total physiological complete response (tpCR), breast pathological complete response (bpCR), overall response rate (ORR), event-free survival (EFS), invasive disease-free survival (IDFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events (AEs). Participants will receive either TQB2102, a HER2 dual-antibody drug conjugate, or the TCbHP chemotherapy combination consisting of Trastuzumab, Pertuzumab, Docetaxel, and Carboplatin. Treatment is given before surgery as part of the neoadjuvant approach. The study compares these two treatment regimens to determine their relative effectiveness and safety in this setting. During the study, participants will be monitored for response to treatment and side effects over a period of up to 26 months from the start of the study. Evaluations by an Independent Review Committee will include measuring the rate of total physiological complete response. Additional assessments will track other clinical outcomes and adverse events. Participants must comply with study requirements, including surgery after neoadjuvant therapy if appropriate, and safety will be closely observed throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating treatments for breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive (HR+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-), specifically in cases where the cancer is either locally advanced and cannot be removed by surgery or has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). The study aims to determine if patritumab deruxtecan (also called HER3-DXd or MK-1022) helps patients live longer overall or without the cancer growing compared to chemotherapy or trastuzumab deruxtecan. This is a Phase 3 clinical trial focusing on this particular type of breast cancer. Participants receive one of several treatments: patritumab deruxtecan through intravenous infusion, chemotherapy options like paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel via IV, oral capecitabine tablets, liposomal doxorubicin via IV, or trastuzumab deruxtecan via IV infusion. The study compares the effects of patritumab deruxtecan alone to the treatment chosen by the physician. Treatments are administered according to standard dosing schedules during the trial. During the study, participants are monitored for how long they live without the cancer progressing (up to about 45 months) and overall survival (up to about 85 months). Researchers assess disease status through imaging and other evaluations. Participants have regular check-ups to monitor health, treatment effects, and any side effects. The study tracks treatment response and safety over the extended follow-up period to understand the benefits and risks of the therapies.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for people with high-risk, early-stage breast cancer, specifically targeting triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and hormone receptor (HR)-low positive/HER2-negative breast cancer. These types have little or no HER2 protein and involve hormones like estrogen or progesterone. The study aims to evaluate if the addition of sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT), a targeted therapy, combined with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy can improve outcomes compared to pembrolizumab with chemotherapy alone. Participants receive treatments including sacituzumab tirumotecan, pembrolizumab, and chemotherapy drugs such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, all given by intravenous infusion. Rescue medications like antihistamines, acetaminophen, dexamethasone, or steroid mouthwash may be used as needed. The study is randomized and open-label, comparing sac-TMT followed by chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab to chemotherapy and pembrolizumab without sac-TMT. During the study, researchers will monitor participants up to about 30 weeks to assess the percentage of people with no remaining cancer cells at surgery. They will also follow participants for up to approximately 92 months to track event-free survival, meaning time without cancer growth, spread, or return. Participants will undergo imaging, clinical assessments, and laboratory tests to evaluate treatment effects and safety throughout the study.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and initial effectiveness of T3011, a herpesvirus injection, combined with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in adults with advanced solid tumors. This phase Ib/IIa clinical trial focuses on patients who have measurable tumors and a good performance status, aiming to understand how well this combination treatment is tolerated and how it impacts tumor response. Participants receive T3011 through injections directly into the tumor every two weeks. Alongside this, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors are given by intravenous infusion at a dose of 3 mg/kg every two weeks. The study includes high, middle, and low doses of T3011 to monitor different effects. This multi-center, single-arm trial does not include a comparison group and spans roughly two years. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor treatment-emergent side effects and measure how tumors respond to the therapy over about two years. Participants will undergo regular laboratory tests and pregnancy tests for women of childbearing potential. Safety assessments, including monitoring for adverse events and overall treatment tolerability, will be conducted. The study requires participants to comply with all procedures and follow-up visits during this period.

Researchers are investigating treatments for women with recurrent endometrial cancer that expresses different levels of the HER2 protein. The study has two groups based on the tumor's HER2 score: Cohort 1 includes patients with HER2 IHC 1+ or 2+ who have previously received immune checkpoint inhibitors and platinum-based chemotherapy, while Cohort 2 includes patients with HER2 IHC 3+. The purpose is to compare the effectiveness and safety of the investigational drug BNT323 (also called DB-1303) against chemotherapy in Cohort 1 and to evaluate BNT323 alone in Cohort 2. The study also looks at how the drug affects the immune system, the body's handling of the drug, quality of life, and potential side effects. Participants in Cohort 1 are randomly assigned to receive either BNT323 via intravenous infusion or a chemotherapy drug chosen by the investigator (doxorubicin, paclitaxel, or docetaxel if paclitaxel is unsuitable). Treatment continues until the cancer progresses, unacceptable side effects occur, or the participant withdraws consent. Those in Cohort 2 receive BNT323 alone until disease progression or other discontinuation criteria are met. The study includes a screening period, a treatment period expected to last about six months, followed by safety monitoring, efficacy follow-up, and long-term survival follow-up lasting up to approximately 53 months. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor response by RECIST criteria, safety monitoring for adverse effects, and evaluations of quality of life. Researchers also study the pharmacokinetics of BNT323 and the immune response. The main outcomes measured are progression-free survival in Cohort 1 and objective response rate in Cohort 2. Safety follow-up ensures ongoing monitoring after treatment to evaluate longer-term effects and participant wellbeing.
