Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of elenestinib BLU-263 combined with symptom directed therapy SDT compared to placebo plus SDT in adults with indolent systemic mastocytosis ISM whose symptoms are not well controlled by SDT alone. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 23 study includes multiple parts to assess different doses and durations of elenestinib treatment, including an open-label extension for participants finishing earlier phases. The study also enrolls participants who have previously received an approved selective KIT inhibitor and includes pharmacokinetic groups. Participants receive oral elenestinib or placebo once daily alongside SDT, which is personalized based on individual symptom management needs. Part 1 focuses on short-term treatment lasting up to 12 weeks, while Part 2 extends treatment to approximately 48 weeks. Part 3 and other parts allow treatment for up to about 5 years. The study monitors participants through these phases to evaluate how elenestinib affects symptoms, disease markers, and safety over time. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments of symptoms using the ISM-Symptom Assessment Form ISM-SAF, laboratory tests including serum tryptase and KIT D816V allele levels, bone marrow evaluations, and quality of life measures. Researchers track adverse events and changes in disease-related factors at various points up to 5 years. This thorough monitoring helps measure treatment effects and safety over both short and long-term periods, with total participation lasting several years depending on the study part.

Researchers are monitoring the use of the Virtue4 Male Sling System in men with stress urinary incontinence following prostate surgery. This observational study aims to collect medical data on the devices effectiveness and safety over 12 and 36 months after implantation. The study is conducted in multiple centers across Europe and focuses on real-world use by experienced urologists. The Virtue4 Male Sling is an implantable device made of polypropylene mesh designed to support the urethra and help manage urinary incontinence caused by intrinsic sphincter deficiency. This study involves men who have already received the sling during routine clinical care. Follow-up includes visits at baseline before implantation, between 1 and 3 months post-operation, and at 12 months, with additional annual questionnaires sent out at 24 and 36 months. Participants will undergo routine clinical assessments, including questionnaires about their urinary symptoms and quality of life, pad weight testing, uroflowmetry, and measurement of urine remaining after voiding at several points during the study. Researchers will monitor patient-reported improvement and any adverse events at 12 months. The study extends to 36 months with ongoing questionnaires to track long-term outcomes and satisfaction. Participation involves regular clinical visits and mailed surveys over three years.

Women who have experienced interpersonal violence often face a higher risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder PTSD. In France, female victims can request a medico-legal examination at a clinical forensic medicine unit, which also offers initial psychological assessment. However, many women do not attend follow-up appointments. This research is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial aiming to evaluate the effectiveness of a case management algorithm that uses early phone contact to improve clinical outcomes after such consultations for female victims of violence. Participants are divided into two groups. The experimental group, called VIGITRAUMA, will receive a phone call three weeks after their consultation, with a second call if needed. If contact is not made after the second call, a postcard will be sent. The control group will receive the usual follow-up care without this additional phone contact. The study is conducted by the University Hospital, Lille. Participants will be assessed through phone calls at 3, 6, and 12 months after their consultation to monitor clinical outcomes. Researchers will measure PTSD symptom severity, general psychopathology, somatic symptoms, medical costs, judicial outcomes, suicidal thoughts, and suicide attempts. The study aims to track these outcomes over a full year to understand the impact of the case management algorithm compared to standard care.

Researchers are evaluating if combining the medicines calderasib and subcutaneous pembrolizumab can more effectively treat people with non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has a KRAS G12C mutation. The study aims to find out whether patients receiving calderasib with pembrolizumab live longer without their cancer growing or spreading compared to those receiving pembrolizumab with chemotherapy. This is a Phase 3 clinical trial focusing on first-line treatment for advanced or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC. Participants are assigned to one of two groups. One group receives subcutaneous pembrolizumab plus berahyaluronidase alfa every 6 weeks for up to 18 cycles about 2 years along with oral calderasib until treatment discontinuation criteria are met. The other group receives the same pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa regimen plus chemotherapy with pemetrexed and either carboplatin or cisplatin infusions during the early cycles. Treatment continues based on individual response and tolerability. During the study, participants will have regular visits for treatment and monitoring. Researchers will assess progression-free survival, overall survival, response rates, and quality of life using questionnaires and symptom scores over several years. Safety will be monitored through adverse event reporting. The trial lasts up to about 7 years with ongoing evaluation of health outcomes and side effects to understand the impact of these treatment combinations.

Researchers are studying treatments for locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer mCRC that cannot be removed by surgery and has a specific KRAS G12C gene mutation. This trial aims to evaluate if adding the targeted therapies calderasib and cetuximab to the standard chemotherapy regimen mFOLFOX6 can provide better outcomes compared to mFOLFOX6 with or without bevacizumab. The study focuses on the safety and tolerability of these combinations and whether they can help people live longer without their cancer growing or spreading. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive calderasib orally, cetuximab every two weeks, and mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy including oxaliplatin, leucovorin or levofolinate calcium, and 5-fluorouracil every two weeks. The other group will receive mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab every two weeks, based on the investigators decision. Treatments will continue until certain stopping criteria are met. During the study, participants will be monitored for side effects and treatment tolerance, with regular assessments of cancer progression. Researchers will measure outcomes such as dose-limiting toxicities, adverse events, progression-free survival, and overall survival. Quality of life will also be evaluated through questionnaires. The study may last up to several years, with monitoring continuing for safety and effectiveness throughout the treatment period and follow-up.

Researchers are studying metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer mCRPC to find new treatment options. This trial evaluates if the study medicine ifinatamab deruxtecan I-DXd or MK-2400 helps people live longer overall and experience slower cancer growth or spread compared to chemotherapy. The study is a Phase 3 trial comparing I-DXd with standard chemotherapy for mCRPC patients. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either I-DXd at 12 mgkg every 3 weeks through intravenous infusion or docetaxel chemotherapy at 75 mgm2 every 3 weeks combined with daily prednisone pills. Treatment continues until the disease progresses, unacceptable side effects occur, or treatment is stopped for other reasons. Premedication is given before each dose of I-DXd to help prevent nausea and vomiting. During the study, participants will have regular visits for treatment and monitoring. Researchers will assess overall survival and radiographic progression-free survival for up to about 36 months. Additional measures include response rates, time to pain progression, PSA progression, and adverse events. The study tracks safety, treatment effects, and quality of life over a long follow-up period to better understand the potential benefits and risks of I-DXd compared to chemotherapy.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for metastatic cervical cancer, which is cancer that has spread beyond the cervix, the lower part of the uterus. This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of the antibody drug conjugate sacituzumab tirumotecan sac-TMT combined with pembrolizumab and bevacizumab. The goal is to find out if these treatments, given together or with some variations, help patients live longer or delay cancer progression compared to standard care. The study has two parts. In Part 1, participants receive sac-TMT, pembrolizumab, and bevacizumab together to assess safety. In Part 2, all participants first get standard induction treatment with pembrolizumab, paclitaxel, and cisplatin or carboplatin, possibly with bevacizumab. Those whose cancer does not worsen then enter maintenance treatment, where they are randomly assigned to receive either pembrolizumab alone or sac-TMT plus pembrolizumab, with optional bevacizumab. Participants are involved for up to about 20 months during maintenance treatment after up to 4 months of induction. The study monitors safety by tracking side effects and treatment discontinuations. Effectiveness is measured by progression-free survival and overall survival up to several years. Quality of life and physical functioning are also assessed through questionnaires. Treatments and evaluations occur through regular intravenous infusions and periodic monitoring visits.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of an investigational drug called BNT323 also known as DB-1303 compared with standard chemotherapy in women with recurrent endometrial cancer. The study includes two groups based on the level of HER2 protein in the tumor Cohort 1 with HER2 levels 1 or 2 who have been previously treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors, and Cohort 2 with HER2 level 3. The study aims to understand how well BNT323 or chemotherapy controls cancer progression and how the drug affects patients immune response and quality of life. Participants in Cohort 1 will be randomly assigned to receive either BNT323 or chemotherapy drugs such as doxorubicin, paclitaxel, or docetaxel. In Cohort 2, participants will receive BNT323 alone. Treatments are given intravenously and continue until the cancer progresses, unacceptable side effects occur, or consent is withdrawn. The study includes screening, treatment, safety follow-up, efficacy follow-up, and a long-term survival follow-up lasting up to about 53 months. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including tumor evaluations, safety monitoring, and quality of life questionnaires. Researchers will measure progression-free survival in Cohort 1 and tumor response rate in Cohort 2. Safety is monitored by tracking adverse effects and drug levels in the body. Participants can expect to be followed for up to 53 months after treatment to assess long-term outcomes and survival.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, tolerability, and therapeutic effects of BNT113 combined with pembrolizumab compared to pembrolizumab alone as a first-line treatment for patients with unresectable recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma HNSCC positive for human papilloma virus 16 HPV16 and expressing the protein PD-L1 with a combined positive score of 1 or higher. This is an open-label, multi-site, Phase IIIII clinical trial consisting of two parts an initial safety run-in phase and a randomized phase. In the safety run-in phase Part A, patients receive BNT113 in combination with pembrolizumab to confirm safety and tolerability at selected dose levels. The randomized phase Part B compares BNT113 combined with pembrolizumab against pembrolizumab monotherapy. Treatments are given by intravenous injection or infusion and continue for up to 24 months. An optional pre-screening phase allows tumor samples to be tested for HPV16 DNA and PD-L1 expression before the main trial screening. Participants will be closely monitored throughout the study. Assessments include safety evaluations, tumor response, and survival outcomes such as overall survival and progression-free survival. Tumor tissue samples must be provided for testing. Researchers will measure treatment-emergent adverse events, response rates, duration of response, and disease control. The study may last up to 48 months, with ongoing safety and efficacy monitoring during and after treatment.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, tolerability, and preliminary effectiveness of IMP1734, a PARP1 selective inhibitor, in people with advanced solid tumors. This study includes patients with breast cancer, metastatic prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, and other solid tumors who have previously received certain treatments. The goal is to find an optimal dose for future clinical development by studying how the drug affects the body and how the body processes it. The study has two parts Part 1 involves gradually increasing doses of IMP1734 given as a daily oral tablet to identify the highest safe dose or maximum achievable dose. This includes testing the drug alone and in combination with other treatments for specific cancers like metastatic prostate, ovarian, and breast cancer. Part 2 focuses on refining the dose to find the best amount for future studies. Treatment can last up to three years after the first dose. Participants will be monitored closely with assessments of side effects, blood tests to study drug levels and effects, and evaluations of tumor response using standard criteria. Safety monitoring continues up to 30 days after the last dose. Researchers measure how well the drug is tolerated and its impact on the cancer over time. The total participation may extend up to three years, with ongoing evaluations during this period.
