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 evaluating the real-world effectiveness, safety, and patient compliance of ribociclib combined with an aromatase inhibitor for adjuvant treatment in patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer at high risk of recurrence. This observational study also compares ribociclib treatment with abemaciclib plus endocrine therapy and endocrine therapy alone, aiming to better understand treatment decisions and clinical adoption in routine practice. The study is conducted across breast centers and gynecological practices to represent typical healthcare settings. Participants receive treatment based on their physicians clinical judgment without randomization or intervention assignment. The study collects data from patients treated with ribociclib plus aromatase inhibitor with or without luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone LHRH, abemaciclib plus endocrine therapy with or without LHRH, or endocrine therapy alone with or without LHRH. Baseline data and follow-up information on adverse events, quality of life, treatment adherence, and socio-economic factors are gathered over time. During the study, participants undergo assessments including evaluation of invasive disease-free survival up to 36 months, quality of life questionnaires, medication adherence reports, and monitoring of adverse events and treatment changes. Data on reasons for treatment decisions, patient perceptions, and healthcare provider involvement are also collected. The study duration extends up to 39 months to provide a comprehensive overview of treatment impact and patient experience in real-world clinical settings.

Researchers are evaluating a new form of hormone therapy called ASP5541 for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. This phase 2 study compares ASP5541 given by injection with the standard abiraterone acetate tablets, both combined with a steroid called prednisone or prednisolone. The study aims to assess how well ASP5541 works and its safety in men who have not previously been treated with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors, including specific evaluation in Japanese men. Participants are divided into three groups based on their cancer type and treatment history. ASP5541 is given as a muscle injection every 12 weeks, while abiraterone acetate is taken as a daily tablet. Men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer take prednisone or prednisolone twice daily, and men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer take it once daily. All groups also receive standard care such as androgen deprivation therapy. Some participants will monitor blood pressure at home weekly. During the study, men visit the clinic regularly for health checks, safety monitoring, and scans to observe any changes in their cancer. The frequency and type of visits depend on each participants health and treatment stage. Researchers will measure prostate-specific antigen PSA levels, adverse events, physical exams, ECGs, and performance status to evaluate treatment effects and safety. The study may last up to about 3 years for some outcomes, with longer follow-up for certain measures.

Researchers are evaluating the addition of Saruparib AZD5305 to standard radiation therapy RT and androgen deprivation therapy ADT for men with high-risk or very high-risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer who have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. The study aims to determine if Saruparib improves metastases-free survival compared to placebo when added to these treatments. This phase 3 trial involves approximately 700 adult male participants. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either Saruparib or a matching placebo alongside physicians choice of ADT, with or without abiraterone and prednisoneprednisolone, depending on their cohort. Cohort A includes those receiving RT and continuous ADT, while Cohort B includes participants receiving RT, ADT, and abiraterone. Saruparib and placebo are administered orally. Treatment continues with close monitoring throughout the study. Participants will undergo scans including CT or MRI, bone scans, and PSMA-PET after their planned RT to confirm eligibility and monitor disease status. They will be followed for survival and disease progression for up to approximately 11 years. Researchers will assess metastasis-free survival, overall survival, prostate cancer-specific survival, biochemical recurrence, physical function, and urinary symptoms. Safety and drug levels will also be monitored. An independent committee will review safety and efficacy regularly throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of opevesostat combined with daily corticosteroids compared to alternative treatments abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide in participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer mCRPC who have previously been treated with one next-generation hormonal agent NHA. The study aims to determine if opevesostat offers better control of disease progression assessed by radiographic progression-free survival, including participants with and without androgen receptor ligand binding domain mutations. Overall survival has also been included as a secondary outcome measure. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives opevesostat 5 mg orally twice daily, plus dexamethasone 1.5 mg and fludrocortisone acetate 0.1 mg orally once daily, continuing until disease progression. Hydrocortisone is available as a rescue medication if needed. The other group receives either abiraterone 1000 mg once daily with prednisone 5 mg twice daily or enzalutamide 160 mg once daily, also until disease progression. This open-label, phase 3 study compares these two treatment approaches in a parallel design. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including imaging scans to measure disease progression, safety monitoring, and evaluations of overall survival and quality of life. Researchers track radiographic progression-free survival for up to 52 months and secondary outcomes such as overall survival, time to new treatments, pain progression, and prostate-specific antigen PSA responses for up to approximately 82 months. Participants are closely monitored for adverse events and treatment tolerability throughout the study duration, which spans several years.

Researchers are evaluating pasritamig JNJ-78278343 combined with best supportive care BSC compared to placebo with BSC in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer mCRPC, a form of prostate cancer that has spread and no longer responds to hormone therapies. This Phase 3 randomized, double-blind study aims to assess overall survival, measuring how long participants live from the start of the study until death from any cause. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either pasritamig or placebo through intravenous infusion. The dosing starts with step-up doses on Cycle 1 Day 1 and Day 8, followed by a target dose on Day 15. Subsequent cycles of treatment occur every 6 weeks, with Cycle 1 lasting 8 weeks and later cycles lasting 6 weeks each. All participants may also receive best supportive care, which includes treatments like radiation, steroids, pain medication, and other palliative procedures, at the physicians discretion. Treatment continues until disease progression, intolerable side effects, withdrawal, death, or end of study. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor overall survival and other outcomes such as progression-free survival, symptomatic progression, skeletal-related events, and time to pain or fatigue worsening. Laboratory tests and monitoring for adverse events will occur up to 2 years and 8 months. Participants will receive ongoing evaluation to track treatment effects and safety throughout the trial duration, which spans until August 2028.

Researchers are evaluating whether combining pasritamig with docetaxel can extend the time before prostate cancer worsens in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer mCRPC, a type of prostate cancer that continues to grow despite low hormone levels. This Phase 3 study compares pasritamig plus docetaxel against docetaxel alone to see if the combination improves radiographic progression-free survival rPFS, which is the time until disease progression or death as seen on scans. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either pasritamig together with docetaxel or docetaxel plus prednisoneprednisolone as background medication. Treatment continues until disease progression is confirmed by scans or other criteria are met. The study is open-label, meaning both participants and researchers know which treatment is given. During the trial, participants will have regular scans such as CT, MRI, or bone scans to monitor disease progression, assessed by independent review. Researchers will also evaluate overall survival, symptom progression, response rates, prostate-specific antigen PSA levels, quality of life measures, and safety by tracking adverse events and lab results. The study may last up to approximately 4 years and 5 months, with frequent assessments throughout.

Researchers are evaluating vepugratinib, a new medicine, to see if it is safe and helpful for people with advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma, a type of bladder cancer with FGFR3 genetic changes. This Phase 3 study compares vepugratinib combined with enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab against a placebo combined with these same drugs. The trial is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and aims to assess treatment safety and effectiveness over a long period. Participants receive either vepugratinib or a placebo orally, together with enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab given by intravenous infusion. The study uses a double-blind, randomized design with parallel groups to compare these treatments. There is a safety lead-in phase followed by the main treatment phase, and study participation may last up to approximately 6 years. During the trial, participants will have regular assessments including monitoring for treatment-related side effects, tumor response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and quality of life using questionnaires. Researchers will collect blood samples to measure drug levels and evaluate health status at baseline and throughout the study. Safety and effectiveness outcomes will be tracked up to 90 months, with continuous monitoring to ensure participant well-being over the long-term study period.

Researchers are evaluating BMS-986365 compared to the investigators choice of therapy in men with Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer. This phase 3, randomized trial aims to assess how well BMS-986365 works and how safe it is, focusing on radiographic progression-free survival. The study includes participants who have previously been treated with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors and have metastatic prostate cancer confirmed by imaging. Participants are randomized into groups receiving either one of two dose levels of BMS-986365 or an active comparator treatment chosen by the investigator, which includes either Docetaxel plus PrednisonePrednisolone or Enzalutamide or Abiraterone plus PrednisonePrednisolone. The study has two parts Part 1 compares the different doses and comparator arms, while Part 2 focuses on the selected BMS-986365 dose versus the investigators choice. Dosing schedules are specified but not detailed here. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including imaging scans to evaluate cancer progression, pain and symptom questionnaires, blood tests, electrocardiograms, and monitoring for adverse events. Outcomes measured include progression-free survival, overall survival, response rates, pain progression, and quality of life changes. The study may last up to 4 years, with ongoing safety and efficacy evaluations throughout this time.

Researchers are evaluating the disease-free survival in participants with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer HR-NMIBC who have previously received Bacillus Calmette-Gurin BCG treatment. This Phase 3 trial compares a new treatment called TAR-210 with the investigators choice of intravesical chemotherapy. The study focuses on participants with specific fibroblast growth factor receptor FGFR alterations and aims to find out which treatment better prevents cancer recurrence or progression after BCG therapy. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. Group A will have TAR-210 inserted into the bladder starting on Day 1 and continuing for about 2 years. Group B will receive either mitomycin C or gemcitabine chemotherapy, chosen by the investigator, given once weekly for 4 to 6 weeks induction, followed by monthly maintenance doses for up to 1 year, with a possible second year of maintenance at the investigators discretion. All treatments are delivered directly into the bladder intravesically. During the study, participants will be monitored for up to 5 years to track disease-free survival and other outcomes such as recurrence-free survival, time to next intervention, disease worsening, progression, and overall survival. Researchers will also assess side effects, laboratory and vital sign changes, and quality of life using specific questionnaires. The study includes regular evaluations and safety monitoring throughout the participation period, which may last several years.
