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 conducting a phase III randomized trial to evaluate the effectiveness of adjuvant cemiplimab immunotherapy in patients with surgically removed stage II-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have not received prior platinum-based chemotherapy. The study focuses on patients whose tumors express PD-L1 at 1% or higher. The main goal is to measure disease-free survival, tracking the length of time patients remain free from cancer recurrence or death for up to about 59 months. Participants receive cemiplimab intravenously at 350 mg every 3 weeks for four cycles, followed by 700 mg every 6 weeks for six cycles, continuing until cancer relapse or unacceptable side effects occur. The treatment is compared to observation without additional adjuvant therapy. The study involves careful dosing schedules and monitoring to assess the impact of cemiplimab as a post-surgical treatment option. During the study, participants undergo brain imaging for staging, tumor PD-L1 testing, and regular pregnancy tests for women of childbearing potential. Researchers monitor disease recurrence and adverse effects throughout treatment and follow-up. Patients must meet specific health criteria, including recovery from surgery and adequate organ function, and agree to use contraception during treatment and for four months afterward. The total participation period includes treatment cycles and long-term follow-up to evaluate disease-free survival and safety.

Researchers are studying patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who have a specific BRAFV600E mutation. This rare subtype of mCRC has poor prognosis and resistance to current treatments, especially in tumors with microsatellite stability or proficient mismatch repair. The study aims to collect detailed clinical data and biological samples to better understand treatment outcomes, resistance, and survival in real-world settings. Participants will provide blood samples and tumor tissue samples to support various research goals. The study will evaluate circulating tumor DNA during different lines of metastatic treatment to predict treatment response and resistance. It will also analyze the immune environment of BRAFV600E mCRC tumors and study specific subgroups with mismatch repair deficiencies. Clinical management data will be collected to inform future therapeutic approaches. During the study, patients will be monitored regularly with blood sample collections of 30 mL at each time point. Researchers will gather information about treatments, survival, and biological markers over time. The main outcome measured is overall survival from diagnosis up to five years. Patients must be able to comply with study procedures and provide informed consent. The study aims to improve knowledge of this aggressive cancer subtype and support development of new treatments.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab as first-line treatments for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) whose tumors have high PD-L1 expression. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, and global study focuses on participants with stage IV mNSCLC who do not have certain genetic mutations or rearrangements and are eligible for systemic therapy. Participants receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. The study compares these two biological treatments given as monotherapy. Both groups will be monitored over time to assess treatment impact and safety. Throughout the study, participants undergo evaluations including tumor measurements by CT or MRI, performance status assessments, and organ function tests. Researchers will measure overall survival and progression-free survival for up to approximately five years. Tumor samples are collected before treatment for central testing, and participants’ health and treatment responses are closely followed during the trial period.

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%).

The trial investigates the use of volrustomig in participants with unresected locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) who have not shown disease progression after receiving definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT). The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of volrustomig compared to observation in this patient population. Participants have tumors that express PD-L1 and the study is conducted as a Phase III, randomized, open-label, multi-center global trial. Participants are assigned to receive either volrustomig as sequential therapy following cCRT or to an observation group. The treatment period involves monitoring participants who have completed definitive cCRT but remain unresected and have no evidence of metastatic disease. The study focuses on participants with Stage III, IVA, or IVB LA-HNSCC according to AJCC criteria, who have not undergone tumor resection before cCRT and have not been treated with radiotherapy alone. During the study, participants are regularly evaluated for progression-free survival, with follow-up lasting up to approximately 8 years to assess long-term outcomes. Researchers will monitor safety and disease progression closely. The overall participation duration includes screening, treatment or observation, and extended follow-up to capture both efficacy and safety data over time.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and early effectiveness of amivantamab alone and in combination with other treatments in people with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). This study also aims to confirm the recommended dose for amivantamab combined with paclitaxel and to assess amivantamab with pembrolizumab before and after surgery in participants with resectable locally advanced HNSCC. The trial includes multiple phases to explore different combinations and settings of treatment. Participants will receive amivantamab given under the skin and may also receive pembrolizumab, paclitaxel, or carboplatin administered intravenously depending on their assigned treatment group. Different cohorts will receive these treatments alone or in combination, including a perioperative group receiving treatment around the time of surgery. The study will evaluate various dosing setups and combinations across cohorts to determine safety and preliminary effectiveness. Throughout the study, participants will be closely monitored with assessments over periods ranging from several weeks to over two years. Researchers will measure response rates, dose-limiting toxicities, adverse events, and pathologic responses depending on the cohort. Participants must have adequate organ function and performance status, and they will be followed with scans, laboratory tests, and clinical evaluations to track treatment effects and safety over time.

Researchers are comparing how long participants with KRAS/NRAS and BRAF wild-type recurrent, unresectable, or metastatic colorectal cancer remain disease-free and their overall survival time when treated with two different regimens. This phase 3 study focuses on patients who have previously received chemotherapy. The study aims to evaluate progression-free survival and overall survival in participants receiving amivantamab plus FOLFIRI versus cetuximab or bevacizumab plus FOLFIRI. The study involves two treatment groups: one receiving amivantamab combined with chemotherapy drugs 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium or levoleucovorin, and irinotecan (FOLFIRI), and the other receiving either cetuximab or bevacizumab with the same chemotherapy regimen. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of these treatment arms. The treatments will be administered according to protocol to assess their effects on the cancer. Participants will be monitored for up to 2 years and 1 month to measure progression-free survival through blinded independent central review and followed for overall survival for up to 4 years and 4 months. The study includes assessments of tumor response, safety, and other clinical evaluations. Tissue samples and detailed clinical data will also be collected. This comprehensive monitoring will help determine the comparative effectiveness of the treatment options over time.

This trial is focused on adults with KRAS/NRAS and BRAF wild-type unresectable or metastatic left-sided colorectal cancer. It compares the length of time participants remain free from disease progression when treated with amivantamab combined with chemotherapy regimens (mFOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI) versus cetuximab combined with the same chemotherapy regimens. The study is a randomized, open-label Phase 3 clinical trial designed to evaluate progression-free survival over a period of up to 4 years and 2 months. Participants receive either amivantamab with chemotherapy drugs including 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium or levoleucovorin, oxaliplatin, or irinotecan hydrochloride, or cetuximab with the same chemotherapy regimens (mFOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI). Treatments are administered as first-line therapy for their colorectal cancer. The trial assesses how these treatments affect disease progression and survival. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly through assessments and evaluations to measure progression-free survival. Researchers will gather data via blinded independent central review to ensure unbiased assessment of disease status. Participants are followed up for safety and treatment efficacy over the study duration, which may last over four years.
