Researchers are studying whether calderasib alone or combined with cetuximab can treat advanced solid tumors in people who have the KRAS G12C mutation. This phase 2, open-label trial aims to find out how many participants respond to these treatments and to compare their safety and tolerability. Participants receive calderasib by mouth and cetuximab through intravenous infusion. The study includes people with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors other than colorectal cancer, who have already undergone standard treatments. The trial monitors response and side effects over time as participants receive either calderasib alone or in combination with cetuximab. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments to measure tumor response and track any side effects or adverse events. Researchers record how many people experience treatment-related side effects and how many stop treatment due to these effects. The study follows participants for up to approximately 76 months to assess long-term outcomes and safety.

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 rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a condition where current therapies like methotrexate (MTX) may not fully control symptoms for many people. This Phase 2b study evaluates a medicine called tulisokibart to see if it can better reduce RA symptoms in individuals already taking MTX. The trial aims to determine if one or more doses of tulisokibart work better than a placebo, which looks like the medicine but contains no active drug. The study includes a 12-week period where participants receive either tulisokibart or a placebo by subcutaneous injection while continuing their MTX treatment, which can be given by injection or orally. Following this, there is a long-term extension lasting 116 weeks, composed of a 44-week main extension and a 72-week optional extension, to further assess the medication's effects and safety over time. Participants will undergo assessments to measure treatment response, including the American College of Rheumatology 20% response criteria at week 12 to gauge symptom improvement. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor for safety and effectiveness, with evaluations extending through the long-term extension periods, totaling over two years of participation.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab, both combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, as initial treatments for patients with metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) whose tumors express PD-L1. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, global study focuses on patients whose tumors meet the PD-L1 expression threshold of 1% or higher and do not have certain genetic mutations or rearrangements that would require other targeted therapies. Participants receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab intravenously on the first day of each 21-day treatment cycle. Both groups also receive platinum-based chemotherapy drugs such as carboplatin or cisplatin, administered intravenously up to four cycles, along with pemetrexed given intravenously on Day 1 of each cycle. The study monitors these treatments as first-line therapy for metastatic non-squamous NSCLC. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor size and response, as well as evaluations of organ and bone marrow function. Researchers track overall survival and progression-free survival for up to approximately five years. Safety is closely monitored throughout, and patients are followed long-term to assess outcomes related to treatment effectiveness and tolerability.

This is a Phase III, two-arm, randomized, double-blind, global, multicenter study assessing the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab, both in combination with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, as a first-line (1L) treatment for patients with squamous metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) whose tumors express PD-L1 (tumor cells (TC) ≥ 1%).

Researchers are evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and effectiveness of GH21 capsules combined with Osimertinib mesylate tablets in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have specific EGFR mutations. This multi-phase study includes phase Ib, phase IIa, and phase IIb stages and aims to determine the recommended dose for further study while monitoring safety and treatment responses. In phase Ib, patients are assigned to one of four dose groups of GH21 capsules, given either once daily or twice weekly, alongside a fixed dose of Osimertinib 80 mg daily. Phase IIa involves two parallel cohorts receiving different GH21 dosing schedules combined with Osimertinib. Phase IIb will enroll one cohort based on safety and efficacy data from earlier phases to further evaluate the combined treatment. The interventions are oral drugs with GH21 capsules dosed at 15 mg twice weekly or 6 mg once daily, and Osimertinib tablets at 80 mg once daily. Participants will undergo assessments including monitoring for dose-limiting toxicities, adverse events, and progression-free survival over two years. Researchers will evaluate tumor response using RECIST 1.1 criteria and collect pharmacokinetic data. The study requires participants to provide genetic testing samples and undergo regular safety and efficacy evaluations throughout the treatment period. Overall, the study spans multiple phases with detailed monitoring to support treatment evaluation in advanced NSCLC with EGFR mutations.

Researchers are investigating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of combining baxdrostat with dapagliflozin compared to dapagliflozin alone in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and high blood pressure. This Phase III, international, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to see if this combination reduces risks such as significant kidney function decline, kidney failure, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death. The study includes a 4-week run-in period where participants not previously treated with SGLT2 inhibitors receive dapagliflozin alone. After this, participants are randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat plus dapagliflozin or placebo plus dapagliflozin in a double-blinded manner. Study visits occur frequently initially (at 2, 4, 8, 16, 34, and 52 weeks after randomization) and then approximately every 4 months. If participants stop the blinded treatment early, they continue dapagliflozin alone unless specific criteria require its discontinuation. Participants will undergo regular assessments including blood pressure monitoring and laboratory tests related to kidney function and cardiovascular health. The primary outcome measures the reduction in risk of major kidney and heart events over up to 37 months. Even if participants stop the study treatment, they will continue follow-up visits and data collection to ensure comprehensive safety and efficacy evaluation throughout the study duration.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of BMS-986504 given alone to participants with advanced or metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) who have a specific genetic change called homozygous MTAP deletion. This study focuses on patients whose cancer has progressed despite prior treatments and is a Phase 2 trial designed to better understand how this drug works in this specific group. Participants receive BMS-986504 at specified doses on certain days as the main treatment. This study does not mention comparison groups, and all participants receive this investigational drug to assess its impact on their cancer. During the study, researchers will monitor participants for up to three years after their last dose to see how many achieve an objective response based on standard criteria for measuring tumor shrinkage. Participants will undergo evaluations including scans and other assessments to track disease progression and treatment safety throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of brenipatide compared to a placebo in reducing the chance of relapse to cigarette smoking in adults who have recently quit. This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind study focused on adults aged 18 to 75 who want to maintain abstinence from smoking. The study aims to measure continuous abstinence confirmed by carbon monoxide levels from week 1 through week 24. Participants will receive either brenipatide or placebo administered subcutaneously during a 24-week treatment period. The study includes a 2-week screening phase before treatment begins and an 8-week safety follow-up after treatment ends. Treatment involves self-injection of the study drug or placebo, and participants are expected to attend up to 17 study visits throughout the approximately 34-week study duration. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly to confirm smoking abstinence and assess safety. Researchers will measure the percentage of participants who maintain continuous abstinence from smoking, verified by carbon monoxide levels. The study includes evaluation of adherence to treatment, safety assessments, and follow-up visits to monitor participants for any adverse effects or relapse.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of calderasib combined with pembrolizumab as a first treatment in adults with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a specific KRAS G12C mutation and a PD-L1 tumor proportion score of 50% or higher. This Phase 3 trial aims to test if the combination of calderasib and pembrolizumab improves progression-free survival and overall survival compared to pembrolizumab with a placebo. Participants receive oral calderasib tablets or placebo along with pembrolizumab given by intravenous infusion. The study compares these two treatment groups to see which provides better outcomes. Treatments continue during the study, and there are no additional interventions described beyond these drugs. During the trial, participants undergo regular assessments including scans and tests to monitor their cancer's progression and overall health. The main outcomes measured are progression-free survival for up to about 42 months and overall survival for up to about 56 months. Safety is monitored throughout, and participants are followed for several years to evaluate long-term effects of the treatments.
