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 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 new treatment options for people living with HIV-1 Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 who have not been treated before. The current standard treatment, antiretroviral therapy ART, involves taking multiple medicines daily and may cause other health problems. This study aims to compare a new study ART combining two medicines, islatravir and ulonivirine, taken once a week, against the standard daily ART to see if it works as well and is safe and tolerable. Participants will receive one of several treatments for 96 weeks the study ART with islatravir and ulonivirine taken once weekly, the standard ART with bictegraviremtricitabinetenofovir alafenamide BICFTCTAF taken once daily, or combinations involving placebos matching these treatments. The study includes two phases Phase 2 which is open-label, and Phase 3 which is double-blind and randomized. During the study, participants will have regular assessments including measuring the amount of HIV-1 RNA in their blood and monitoring for adverse events and medication tolerance. Researchers will evaluate how well the treatments control the virus and affect immune cells over 24, 48, and 96 weeks. Safety monitoring will continue for about 102 weeks. The total study duration for participants is up to 96 weeks of treatment plus follow-up.

Researchers are evaluating new medicines to prevent HIV-1 Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 infection. This Phase 3 clinical study aims to determine if taking the drug MK-8527 once a month can prevent HIV-1 infection as well as or better than the standard daily pre-exposure prophylaxis PrEP. The study also assesses the safety and tolerance of MK-8527 in participants. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives 11 mg of MK-8527 once monthly along with a daily placebo pill matching FTCTDF. The other group receives a daily dose of FTC245 mg TDF and a monthly placebo matching MK-8527. This treatment period lasts for approximately two years, followed by an additional 28-day period where all participants receive open-label FTCTDF daily. During the study, participants will undergo regular monitoring to check for HIV-1 infection and any adverse events. Researchers will track the number of participants who acquire HIV-1, experience side effects, or stop treatment due to side effects over the two-year period. Safety and adherence assessments will be conducted to evaluate the study treatments. The total participation time includes the two-year treatment phase plus the 28-day follow-up with open-label FTCTDF.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for high-risk, early-stage breast cancer, specifically targeting two types triple-negative breast cancer TNBC and hormone receptor-low positiveHER2-negative breast cancer. These cancers are characterized by low or no HER2 protein and low hormone receptor presence. The study aims to evaluate if adding sacituzumab tirumotecan sac-TMT to pembrolizumab and chemotherapy can better reduce cancer cells in tumors and lymph nodes and improve the length of time patients live without cancer progression compared to pembrolizumab with chemotherapy alone. Participants in this trial receive one of two treatment plans. One group gets sacituzumab tirumotecan intravenously every two weeks plus pembrolizumab every three weeks for 12 weeks, followed by pembrolizumab with carboplatin and paclitaxel for another 12 weeks. After 3 to 6 weeks, surgery and optional radiation therapy take place, followed by pembrolizumab for about 28 weeks. Participants with remaining disease may receive additional treatments chosen by their doctors, including olaparib, capecitabine, doxorubicin, epirubicin, or cyclophosphamide. The other group receives chemotherapy drugs carboplatin and paclitaxel with pembrolizumab initially, then pembrolizumab with cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin or epirubicin, followed by surgery, optional radiation, and pembrolizumab for about 28 weeks, with similar additional options for residual disease. During the study, participants undergo core needle biopsies, receive intravenous infusions of study drugs, and have surgery and possible radiation therapy. Researchers assess outcomes such as the percentage of participants with no detectable cancer cells at surgery pathological complete response, event-free survival up to about 92 months, and overall survival up to nearly 10 years. Quality of life and side effects are monitored through questionnaires and adverse event tracking. The study lasts several years, with various assessments throughout treatment and follow-up periods to gather comprehensive data on treatment effects and safety.

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 the safety and effectiveness of zilovertamab vedotin ZV combined with standard treatments for people with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma rrDLBCL. This Phase 23 study is divided into two parts Dose Confirmation and Efficacy Expansion. It aims to compare ZV combined with rituximab, gemcitabine, and oxaliplatin R-GemOx against R-GemOx alone, and ZV combined with bendamustine rituximab BR against BR alone, focusing on progression-free survival. Enrollment in the BR-related arms has been discontinued with no analysis planned for those arms.

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups receiving either Afimkibart via intravenous infusion followed by subcutaneous injection or matching placebo treatments. The study involves continuous treatment through induction and maintenance phases to compare outcomes at weeks 12 and 52. The trial includes a placebo group to provide a comparison for evaluating Afimkibarts effects. During the study, participants will have regular visits for assessments including clinical remission rates, endoscopic response, symptomatic remission, stool frequency, abdominal pain, and quality of life questionnaires. Researchers will monitor various outcomes over 52 weeks and track adverse events for up to 70 weeks after baseline. This long-term follow-up helps evaluate both the treatments impact and safety throughout the trial period.

Researchers are conducting a Phase III, randomized, open-label multicenter study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of giredestrant compared with fulvestrant. Both drugs are combined with the investigators choice of a CDK46 inhibitor palbociclib, ribociclib, or abemaciclib in participants with estrogen receptor-positive ER, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer who have become resistant to prior adjuvant endocrine therapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups one group will receive giredestrant 30 mg orally daily on Days 1-28 of each 28-day cycle, while the other will receive fulvestrant 500 mg intramuscularly on Days 1 and 15 of Cycle 1 and Day 1 of subsequent 28-day cycles. Both groups will also receive a CDK46 inhibitor chosen by the investigator, with dosing schedules depending on the specific inhibitor selected. Preperimenopausal women and men will receive a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone LHRH agonist during treatment. Participants will be assessed for progression-free survival over up to 5 years, with additional measures including overall survival, response rates, duration of response, clinical benefit, and quality of life. Safety will be monitored through adverse event reporting, vital signs, and laboratory tests during treatment and up to 28 days after the last dose. The study is led by Hoffmann-La Roche and aims to provide detailed information on the treatments effects in this patient population.

Researchers are studying children aged 6 to less than 12 years with asthma to compare the effects and safety of QMF149 a combination of indacaterol acetate and mometasone furoate with budesonide. This Phase 3, double-blind, randomized, two-period, crossover study aims to determine if QMF149 is superior to budesonide in improving lung function and asthma control in this pediatric population. Participants undergo a total study duration of up to 37 weeks, including screening and run-in periods, two 12-week treatment phases where they receive either QMF149 7540 mcg once daily or budesonide 200 mcg once daily via Breezhaler, separated by a 3-week washout period with fluticasone propionate. Following treatment periods, a 4-week safety follow-up occurs during which patients return to standard care. Throughout the study, children and their parentslegal guardians attend scheduled visits for assessments including lung function tests FEV1, asthma control questionnaires, peak expiratory flow rate measurements, and rescue medication use tracking. Safety is monitored by recording adverse events up to 30 days after the last dose. The study evaluates changes from baseline in lung function and asthma control after each treatment period, with participants supported in completing diaries and attending visits over the 37-week timeline.
