Researchers are evaluating camizestrant against standard endocrine therapy for patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer who have an intermediate or high risk of disease recurrence. These patients must have completed locoregional therapy and at least 2 to 5 years of standard adjuvant endocrine therapy. The study is a Phase III open-label trial focused on improving outcomes for these patients over a long-term period. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either camizestrant orally or continue with the standard endocrine therapy chosen by their investigator, which may include aromatase inhibitors exemestane, letrozole, anastrozole or tamoxifen. Treatment in each group lasts for 60 months. The study allows prior use of CDK46 inhibitors and includes a follow-up period extending up to 10 years from the last patient randomization. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments to monitor invasive breast cancer-free survival and other outcomes such as invasive disease-free survival, distant relapse-free survival, overall survival, and safety. Researchers will also evaluate symptoms like joint pain, hot flushes, and vaginal dryness using specific scales, along with quality of life measures and pharmacokinetics. Safety monitoring continues up to 28 days after the last dose, and participants remain under observation for up to 10 years total.

Researchers are collecting data in a registry study for adults diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia AML, including newly diagnosed and relapsed cases. The study aims to gather important information about the diseases epidemiology, such as patient age and prognostic factors, and to compare incidence and age distribution with population tumor registry data. It also evaluates key clinical outcomes like relapse-free survival, time to relapse, cumulative incidence of relapse, and overall survival. This observational study does not involve treatment assignment but documents treatment strategies used by patients. Data is gathered over a 10-year period to thoroughly monitor outcomes and disease patterns. The registry also collects information on complete remission rates, treatment-related mortality, therapy-associated morbidity, and quality of therapy and diagnosis. Additionally, the study seeks to validate known prognostic factors and explore new ones while describing new therapies and supportive care measures. Participants are adults aged 18 years and older diagnosed with AML according to WHO criteria, including acute promyelocytic leukemia. The study involves long-term follow-up with yearly assessments over 10 years. Researchers will evaluate epidemiological parameters and important survival outcomes. Since this is an observational registry, participants continue with their usual care while data is collected. The study is sponsored by Technische Universitt Dresden and involves multiple sites in Germany.

Researchers are investigating the effects of stopping CDK46 inhibitors in women with metastatic hormone receptor HR positive, HER2 negative breast cancer who have maintained disease control after long-term treatment. This phase II trial aims to evaluate whether disease stability continues when CDK46 inhibitors are discontinued after at least 12 months of combined treatment with endocrine therapy. The study is open-label, randomized, and conducted at multiple centers. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups one group continues both CDK46 inhibitor treatment such as Palbociclib or Abemaciclib and endocrine therapy, while the other group discontinues the CDK46 inhibitor but continues endocrine therapy alone. The study monitors disease progression and treatment effects over time, with a focus on how long patients remain free from disease worsening after stopping the CDK46 inhibitor. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed for disease progression, safety, and quality of life using questionnaires and clinical evaluations. Researchers will measure progression-free survival at 12 months and up to 54 months, time to treatment failure, time to first chemotherapy use, and monitor adverse events. The total participation duration may extend beyond four years, with ongoing evaluations to understand long-term outcomes and safety after stopping the CDK46 inhibitor.

Researchers are evaluating whether systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy LNE improves overall survival in patients with stage I or II endometrial cancer who have a high risk of recurrence. The trial also looks at how LNE affects disease-free survival, quality of life, complications, side effects, and the number of lymph nodes removed. A total of 640 patients with specific histological types and stages of endometrial cancer will take part in this study. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. In Arm A, patients will undergo the standard surgical procedure including total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, with an omentectomy added for certain cancer types. In Arm B, patients will receive the same standard surgery plus systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy reaching up to the left renal vein. The study compares these two surgical approaches. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for overall survival over 60 months. Researchers will also assess disease-free and disease-specific survival at multiple time points up to five years. Serious complications will be recorded during surgery and follow-up visits. Quality of life will be evaluated regularly using standardized questionnaires. The number of lymph nodes removed will be documented during surgery to support the evaluation of treatment impact and safety.

This research aims to gather detailed data and biomaterials from adults diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia ALL and related diseases, including certain types of Leukemia and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. The registry supports ALL research and quality assurance by collecting information regardless of whether patients participate in clinical trials. The study is observational and involves adults diagnosed and treated under ALL protocols. Participants include adults aged 18 and older with ALL subtypes, other leukemias treated according to ALL protocols, and specific subtypes of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma treated under B-ALL protocols. The study collects data prospectively on diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes, along with biomaterials related to these conditions. Participants provide information during routine clinical care and follow-up visits for up to 10 years. Data collected includes survival rates, remission status assessed by various methods including PET scans, relapse rates, quality of life questionnaires, and monitoring of toxicities and comorbidities. The study tracks overall survival and other outcomes over long-term follow-up to support research and quality assurance in adult ALL and related diseases.

Researchers are evaluating the best neoadjuvant therapy for patients with less advanced HER2-positive early breast cancer EBC. This Phase 2 trial focuses on improving treatment outcomes by comparing trastuzumab-deruxtecan T-DXd with standard chemotherapy combined with trastuzumab and pertuzumab. The study targets patients with low to intermediate risk HER2 EBC, aiming to show higher rates of complete tumor response and excellent survival outcomes. Participants receive different treatment regimens depending on their risk group and assigned study arm. Treatments include 12 or 18 weeks of T-DXd alone or combined with standard chemotherapy, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab. After neoadjuvant treatment, post-neoadjuvant therapy with T-DXd or standard care continues for up to one year, with adjustments based on tumor response. Some patients may receive additional chemotherapy depending on residual tumor burden. During the study, participants undergo regular evaluations including tumor response assessments and safety monitoring for adverse drug reactions. Key outcomes measured are pathological complete response rate after neoadjuvant therapy and distant disease-free survival after three years. Researchers also track various survival outcomes, quality of life, and treatment-related side effects over time. Participants are followed until study completion in 2030, with detailed monitoring throughout the treatment and follow-up phases.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of two treatment strategies for patients newly diagnosed with advanced ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. This international, multicenter, randomized, open Phase III trial compares carboplatinpaclitaxel chemotherapy followed by niraparib alone versus carboplatinpaclitaxel combined with bevacizumab followed by both bevacizumab and niraparib. The study includes patients with high-grade, non-mucinous, non-clear cell epithelial tumors at specific advanced stages who have had surgery or plan chemotherapy with interval debulking surgery. All patients receive an initial cycle of carboplatin and paclitaxel before randomization. After central testing of tumor BRCA status, participants are randomly assigned to one of two arms Arm 1 continues with five more cycles of carboplatin and paclitaxel followed by daily niraparib for up to three years Arm 2 receives five cycles of carboplatin and paclitaxel plus bevacizumab, then maintenance bevacizumab for up to one year alongside daily niraparib for up to three years. This design aims to determine if adding bevacizumab improves outcomes over the standard treatment. Participants undergo frequent assessments including scans and laboratory tests to monitor progression-free survival and other health outcomes. Researchers also evaluate overall survival, time to additional therapies, treatment-related side effects, and quality of life up to several years after enrollment. Patients attend regular visits for treatment, monitoring, and completion of questionnaires, with safety follow-up 30 days after the last dose. The entire observation period can last up to 66 months after the last patient joins the trial.

Researchers are gathering real-world clinical data from women with primary advanced FIGO stage III or IV or recurrent endometrial cancer who are treated with first-line chemotherapy regimens combining Carboplatin, Paclitaxel, and Durvalumab CPD. This observational study focuses on patients receiving maintenance therapy with durvalumab alone or durvalumab combined with olaparib, depending on their tumors DNA mismatch repair status. The aim is to evaluate treatment outcomes including effectiveness, safety, and patient-reported experiences after chemotherapy. Participants receive first-line CPD chemotherapy followed by maintenance therapy tailored to their tumor characteristics patients with DNA mismatch repair deficient tumors receive durvalumab maintenance, while those with proficient status receive both durvalumab and olaparib maintenance. Treatment decisions are made as part of routine care in collaboration with their doctors, independent of the study. The study observes patients who achieve disease control after chemotherapy, tracking their ongoing treatments according to approved guidelines. During the study, participants complete questionnaires to report their quality of life and health status over time. Researchers monitor time to next treatment and progression-free survival at 12 months, as well as the duration of maintenance therapy and chemotherapy phases, and timing between treatments. Safety and real-world usage of therapies are assessed up to 46 months. The study spans multiple centers in Germany and aims to better understand characteristics of patients benefiting from these treatments in everyday clinical practice.

Researchers are investigating the effects of two different ventilation strategies during resuscitation in adult patients who experience out-of-hospital cardiac arrest OHCA. The study aims to compare positive-end-expiratory-pressure PEEP set at 5 mbar to zero-end-expiratory-pressure ZEEP to see which approach better supports the return of spontaneous circulation ROSC. This is a prospective, multicenter, cluster-randomized controlled trial involving emergency medical services in multiple regions. Patients aged 18 and older who have OHCA and require mechanical ventilation through an airway device will be enrolled. The study regions are randomized into two groups one will use PEEP at 5 mbar during ventilation, while the other will use ZEEP at 0 mbar. These ventilation settings are applied during emergency resuscitation before hospital admission. Participants will be monitored for the return of spontaneous circulation during or after resuscitation, which is the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes include rates of re-arrest, death during pre-hospital care, hospital admission with or without spontaneous circulation, and measurements of peripheral oxygen saturation and end tidal CO2 upon hospital arrival. The study will carefully track these outcomes to evaluate the impact of the ventilation strategies on patient survival and condition.

This research aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of Datopotamab Deruxtecan Dato-DXd combined with rilvegostomig or rilvegostomig alone compared to pembrolizumab alone as initial treatment in participants with locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has high PD-L1 expression tumor cells 50% and no actionable genetic alterations. This Phase III, randomized, open-label global study focuses on patients who have not received previous systemic therapy for advanced disease. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three groups one group receives Dato-DXd plus rilvegostomig, another receives rilvegostomig alone, and the third receives pembrolizumab alone. All treatments are given as intravenous infusions every three weeks on the first day of each 21-day cycle. The study evaluates these treatments as first-line therapy for eligible participants. During the study, participants will have regular assessments including tumor evaluations and biomarker testing to monitor disease progression, overall survival, and response rates. Patient-reported symptoms and quality of life will also be measured. The study may last up to approximately six years to capture long-term outcomes. Safety monitoring and pharmacokinetics assessments are included throughout the trial to understand treatment effects and immune responses.
