Researchers are evaluating calderasib alone or combined with cetuximab to treat people with advanced solid tumors that have the KRAS G12C mutation, excluding colorectal cancer. This study aims to measure how many participants experience tumor shrinkage or disappearance and compare the responses between the two treatments. It is a phase 2, open-label trial focused on treatment safety and tolerability. Participants will receive calderasib orally with no set limit on treatment cycles. Some participants will also receive cetuximab via intravenous infusion every two weeks. Treatment continues until criteria for stopping the study intervention are met. The trial uses a randomized, parallel design to compare the two experimental arms. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for tumor response, adverse events, and treatment discontinuations related to side effects. Researchers will also assess progression-free survival, duration of response, and overall survival up to about 76 months. The trial lasts until April 2032, with ongoing safety and efficacy evaluations during this period.

Researchers are investigating new treatment options for breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive HR and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative HER2-, specifically for cases that are unresectable locally advanced or metastatic. This type of breast cancer involves cancer cells that depend on hormones like estrogen or progesterone and have low HER2 protein levels. The study focuses on comparing the effects of patritumab deruxtecan against chemotherapy or trastuzumab deruxtecan in patients whose cancer has progressed despite prior treatments. Participants receive either patritumab deruxtecan through intravenous infusions every three weeks for about 13 months or a treatment chosen by their physician, which may include various chemotherapy drugs or trastuzumab deruxtecan, administered according to specific schedules for up to 13 months. The study is randomized and open-label, meaning participants are randomly assigned to one of the treatment groups, and both the patients and researchers know which treatment is given. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular assessments to monitor cancer progression and overall survival for up to approximately 85 months. Researchers evaluate tumor response, duration of response, and changes in quality of life using standardized questionnaires. Safety is carefully monitored by recording adverse events and treatment discontinuations. The goal is to understand if patritumab deruxtecan can improve outcomes compared to current treatment options.

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 safety and effectiveness of rilvegostomig combined with platinum-based chemotherapy compared to pembrolizumab combined with platinum-based chemotherapy as a first treatment for patients with locally advanced or metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer mNSCLC whose tumors express programmed death-ligand 1 PD-L1. This Phase III global study focuses on patients with PD-L1 tumor cell expression of 1% or higher and aims to determine which treatment provides better overall and progression-free survival. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two study groups one group will receive rilvegostomig plus carboplatin and either paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy, while the other group will receive pembrolizumab plus the same chemotherapy options. Rilvegostomig and pembrolizumab are both given intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, with chemotherapy given up to 4 cycles. Nab-paclitaxel may be administered on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle. Treatment continues with rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab until disease progression or other criteria are met. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor response, laboratory tests to monitor organ function, and patient questionnaires about physical function and quality of life. Researchers will track overall survival, progression-free survival, response rates, and duration of response for up to approximately 6 years. Safety and immune response to rilvegostomig will also be evaluated. Participants will be closely monitored throughout the treatment and follow-up periods.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of elecoglipron, an oral tablet taken once daily, for weight management in adults with obesity or overweight. This Phase III global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial includes two independent pivotal studies one in adults without type 2 diabetes T2DM and the other in adults with T2DM, all having at least one weight-related health condition. The goal is to understand how elecoglipron compares to placebo when combined with diet and exercise. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either one of two doses of elecoglipron or a matching placebo daily. Study 1 involves about 3000 adults living with obesity or overweight without T2DM, while Study 2 involves about 1500 adults with obesity or overweight and T2DM. Both studies last 72 weeks, during which changes in body weight and other health measures will be monitored. During the trial, participants will undergo regular health assessments including measurements of body weight, waist circumference, blood sugar control, blood pressure, and other related health indicators. Researchers will track percent change in body weight from baseline at 72 weeks as the primary outcome. Participants will be monitored closely throughout the study to assess safety and effectiveness of the treatment in managing weight and associated health conditions.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics PK, and effectiveness of GH21 capsules combined with Osimertinib mesylate tablets in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has EGFR mutations. This study includes phase Ib, phase IIa, and phase IIb stages to determine the recommended dose and assess how patients respond to this combination treatment. In phase Ib, a classic 33 design is used to select dose levels with four preset dose groups including once daily QD and twice weekly BIW dosing schedules. Phase IIa consists of two cohorts receiving different doses of GH21 combined with Osimertinib 80 mg QD, while phase IIb involves one cohort where dose and treatment decisions are based on safety, efficacy, and PK data from earlier phases. Participants will be monitored for adverse events, dose-limiting toxicities, and progression-free survival over two years. Assessments include tumor measurements using RECIST 1.1 criteria, genetic testing, survival rates, and plasma drug concentration levels. The study also tracks overall safety, treatment response, and pharmacokinetics to understand how the drugs behave in the body during and after treatment.

Researchers are evaluating the combination of baxdrostat and dapagliflozin in people with chronic kidney disease CKD and high blood pressure hypertension. This Phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to assess whether this combination reduces the risk of serious kidney damage, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death compared to dapagliflozin alone. The study includes participants with CKD and hypertension who meet specific kidney function and blood pressure criteria. Participants who are not already taking SGLT2 inhibitors will first complete a 4-week dapagliflozin run-in period. Then, they will be randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat plus dapagliflozin or a placebo plus dapagliflozin. Baxdrostat dosing may start low and be increased if needed. Study visits will occur at 2, 4, 8, 16, 34, and 52 weeks after randomization, and then approximately every four months until the study ends, which is based on the number of key kidney or heart-related events. Throughout the study, participants will have regular assessments including blood tests to monitor kidney function and potassium levels, blood pressure measurements, and evaluations of heart and kidney health. If participants stop the blinded study drug early, they will continue dapagliflozin if possible and remain in the study for ongoing visits and monitoring. The main outcome is whether the combination treatment reduces the risk of a 50% sustained decline in kidney function, kidney failure, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death over up to 37 months.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of brenipatide compared to a placebo for reducing the risk of relapse to cigarette smoking in adults who have recently quit. The study is a phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial focused on helping adults maintain abstinence from smoking. Participants are adults aged 18 to 75 years who have recently quit smoking and are motivated to stay quit. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either brenipatide or a placebo, both administered by subcutaneous injection. The study involves a 2-week screening period, followed by a 24-week treatment period where participants self-inject the assigned intervention. After treatment, there is an 8-week safety follow-up period to monitor participants health and any effects related to the study drug. Throughout the approximately 34-week study, participants are expected to attend up to 17 study visits. Researchers will measure the percentage of participants who achieve continuous abstinence from cigarette smoking, confirmed by carbon monoxide levels, from week 1 to week 24. Additional assessments include patient-reported outcomes, body weight changes, drug plasma concentration levels, and monitoring for anti-drug antibodies. Safety and adherence are closely monitored during and after the treatment phase.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of combining calderasib with pembrolizumab as the first treatment for people 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. The study compares this combination to pembrolizumab with a placebo to see if it improves the time participants live without the cancer worsening and overall survival. Participants receive pembrolizumab through an intravenous infusion every 21 days for up to 35 cycles. They also take calderasib or a matching placebo by mouth daily until they meet criteria to stop treatment. The study is randomized and double-blind, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives calderasib or placebo. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor cancer progression, overall survival, response rate, and quality of life measures through questionnaires. Safety will be closely monitored by tracking adverse events and treatment discontinuations. The study may last up to about 56 months, including follow-up to observe long-term outcomes and quality of life changes.

Researchers are evaluating if adding LY3537982 olomorasib to standard anti-cancer drugs improves treatment for participants with untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has a specific KRAS G12C gene change. This Phase 3 treatment study includes participants with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC and aims to compare this combination against standard care. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and could last up to 3 years depending on individual response and disease progression. Participants receive LY3537982 orally combined with pembrolizumab given intravenously in 21-day cycles. Some groups also receive chemotherapy drugs pemetrexed and platinum cisplatin or carboplatin intravenously. There are different dose levels and combinations being tested, including placebo groups for comparison. Treatment continues until specific discontinuation criteria are met. Parts of the study are randomized and double-blinded, with some parts non-randomized for safety lead-in. During the study, participants have regular assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor response, blood tests, and questionnaires about symptoms and quality of life. Researchers monitor side effects and survival outcomes. The main measures include progression-free survival and treatment-emergent adverse events over about one year, with overall survival followed for up to three years. Participants are closely followed throughout treatment and after to evaluate the effects and safety of the study medications.
