Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab monotherapy as the first-line treatment for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer mNSCLC whose tumors express high levels of PD-L1. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, multicenter global study focuses on patients with mNSCLC without certain genetic mutations who are suitable for this treatment approach. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. The study compares these two drugs over repeated treatment cycles as first-line therapy. Both treatments are biological agents given by infusion, and the study is designed to monitor their effects over up to approximately five years. During the trial, participants will undergo regular assessments including physical exams, imaging scans such as CT or MRI to measure tumor lesions, and laboratory tests to evaluate organ function. Researchers will closely monitor overall survival, progression-free survival, treatment response, duration of response, and patient-reported outcomes on physical functioning and quality of life. Safety and immunogenicity of rilvegostomig will also be evaluated. Participants are followed and assessed for up to five years to gather comprehensive data on treatment effects and long-term outcomes.

Researchers are studying an investigational drug called linvoseltamab in adults who have a moderate risk of developing multiple myeloma. This group includes patients with precancerous conditions known as High-Risk Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance HR-MGUS and Non-High-Risk Smoldering Multiple Myeloma NHR-SMM. The main goal is to understand how well linvoseltamab can eliminate abnormal plasma cells and laboratory signs associated with these conditions. Participants will receive linvoseltamab following a step-up dosing regimen to assess safety and tolerability before moving to one of four full dosing regimens. The study is divided into a safety run-in phase and an expansion phase where participants are assigned to different dose groups without randomization. Linvoseltamab is given according to the study protocol, with dosing schedules designed to monitor effects and side effects. During the study, participants will be closely monitored through regular safety observations over 35 days and longer-term assessments up to 5.5 years. Researchers will track adverse events, treatment responses including complete response rates, laboratory results, and the presence of antibodies against the drug. Blood levels of linvoseltamab are measured up to 9 months. This comprehensive monitoring will help understand the drugs impact and safety over time.

Researchers are studying the effects of CYB003, a deuterated psilocin analog, compared to a matching placebo as an additional treatment for adults with Major Depressive Disorder MDD. This Phase III study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of two different doses of CYB003 alongside participants current antidepressant medications and psychological support. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups one receiving 8 mg of CYB003, another receiving 16 mg of CYB003, or a placebo group. Each participant will undergo two dosing sessions about three weeks apart while continuing their usual antidepressant treatment and receiving manualized psychological support from a facilitator. Non-responders in the placebo group may have the chance to receive CYB003 in an extension trial. During the study, participants will complete several assessments including the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Scale MADRS, Beck Depression Inventory-II BDI-II, Clinical Global Impression Scale CGI-S, Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item Scale GAD-7, and Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire Q-LES-Q-SF. These evaluations occur at multiple timepoints from screening through the end of the trial. Safety and tolerability will be closely monitored throughout the study, with the total duration lasting approximately 12 weeks from baseline to study end.

Researchers are evaluating treatments for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma in patients who cannot undergo autologous stem cell transplantation. This Phase 3 study compares two drug combinations belantamab mafodotin with lenalidomide and dexamethasone BRd versus daratumumab with lenalidomide and dexamethasone DRd. The goal is to see if BRd extends progression-free survival and improves minimal residual disease negative status compared to DRd. Participants receive either BRd or DRd treatment, continuing until disease progression, death, unacceptable side effects, withdrawal, or study end. Both treatment arms involve the administration of lenalidomide and dexamethasone alongside either belantamab mafodotin or daratumumab. Treatment duration may last up to approximately seven years. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including monitoring disease progression, response to treatment, and side effects. Measurements include progression-free survival, overall survival, and the number achieving minimal residual disease negative status. Quality of life questionnaires and blood tests will also be conducted. Safety monitoring includes eye exams and tracking adverse events throughout the study duration.

This observational study aims to describe the use of teclistamab and talquetamab in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma RRMM outside of clinical trial settings. It collects real-world data to better understand how these treatments are used and their outcomes in typical healthcare environments. The study enrolls participants who have received at least one dose of teclistamab or talquetamab outside clinical trials during specified time periods from before December 2022 through December 2025. No study interventions are administered instead, researchers analyze existing medical records to document treatment details and patient experiences with these therapies. Participants medical records are reviewed to capture baseline characteristics, response rates, time to response, duration of response, survival outcomes, safety management, and treatment use up to 40 months. The study focuses on collecting comprehensive retrospective data without requiring active treatment or additional procedures, providing insight into real-world treatment patterns and outcomes for RRMM patients.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of the drug imlunestrant LY3484356 in premenopausal women with early estrogen receptor-positive ER, HER2-negative breast cancer. The study includes two groups one that explores imlunestrant alone or combined with ovarian suppression, and another that studies imlunestrant without ovarian suppression. The trial compares imlunestrants impact on breast cancer cells and ovarian function to tamoxifen, a known treatment. Participants in Cohort 1 will receive imlunestrant orally either alone or with goserelin a drug given by injection to suppress ovarian function for up to 29 days. Some in this group will take tamoxifen orally as a comparator. Cohort 2 participants will take imlunestrant or tamoxifen orally for up to 6 months without ovarian suppression. The study is open-label, randomized, and phase 2, designed to assess treatment effects in parallel groups. During the study, participants will provide tumor samples before and during treatment, and researchers will monitor changes in specific cancer markers like Ki-67, estrogen receptor ER, and progesterone receptor PR expression. They will also track the rate of ovarian cysts up to 180 days. Participants must attend scheduled visits for evaluations, including performance status checks and safety assessments. The trial is expected to continue until December 2029.

Researchers are evaluating the addition of Tersolisib LY4064809STX-478 to other anti-cancer drugs as a first treatment for adults with advanced hormone receptor-positive HRhuman epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative HER2- breast cancer that has a PIK3CA mutation. This Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial aims to understand the efficacy and safety of this combination compared to placebo, focusing on improving outcomes for patients with this specific genetic change. Participants receive LY4064809 orally in one of two doses combined with a CDK46 inhibitor such as Ribociclib, Palbociclib, or Abemaciclib and endocrine therapy ET administered orally or via intramuscular injection. The comparison group receives a placebo combined with the same CDK46 inhibitor and ET. The study includes two parts Part 1 explores dose optimization, and Part 2 evaluates the treatment combinations effectiveness and safety as a first-line therapy. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor cancer response, progression, and safety over an estimated period of up to 5 years or more. Researchers will measure outcomes such as overall response rate, progression-free survival, duration of response, overall survival, and quality of life. Treatment continues as long as the cancer benefits without intolerable side effects. Safety monitoring, laboratory tests, and quality of life questionnaires are part of the participant involvement throughout the trial.

Hidradenitis suppurativa HS is a painful inflammatory skin condition affecting areas like the underarms, groin, and genital regions. This trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of upadacitinib, an oral drug approved for other inflammatory diseases, in adults and adolescents with moderate to severe HS who have not responded well or cannot tolerate anti-TNF therapies. The study is double-blinded and involves multiple treatment periods to assess disease activity and side effects. Participants will take oral tablets of either upadacitinib or a placebo once daily during the first two periods, each lasting 36 weeks. In Period 1, participants are randomly assigned to receive either upadacitinib or placebo. Period 2 assigns participants to one of six groups based on their response in Period 1, with treatment continuing for 20 weeks. In Period 3, eligible participants continue their assigned treatment for an additional 68 weeks, followed by a 30-day follow-up. Throughout the study, participants will attend regular outpatient visits where medical assessments will monitor treatment effects and side effects. Questionnaires and clinical evaluations will be completed to measure changes in disease activity and quality of life. The trial aims to track the percentage of participants achieving clinical response and the occurrence of adverse events over the entire study duration, which may be longer than standard care treatments.

Researchers are evaluating how well elritercept works to improve anemia in adults with myelofibrosis MF who are already taking ruxolitinib. The study compares elritercept to a placebo and aims to see if elritercept can reduce tiredness, improve MF-related symptoms, and help participants perform physical activities more easily. It also looks at elritercepts effects on bone marrow, spleen size, antibody development, and long-term safety. Participants receive either elritercept or a placebo by subcutaneous injection once every 4 weeks during a 36-week double-blinded treatment period. The starting dose of elritercept is 3.75 mgkg, with a possible increase to 5.0 mgkg after the second cycle based on response and safety. After 36 weeks, participants who took placebo may switch to receive elritercept in an extended open-label phase. During the study, participants undergo assessments including blood transfusion independence, symptom and fatigue questionnaires, spleen imaging, and bone marrow evaluation. Researchers monitor safety, antibody formation, and survival for up to 7 years. The main outcome is the proportion of participants who become independent from red blood cell transfusions for at least 12 consecutive weeks during the 36-week treatment. Participants are involved in regular visits and evaluations throughout the treatment and follow-up periods.

Researchers are evaluating elritercept for its ability to reduce the need for red blood cell RBC transfusions and its safety compared to epoetin alfa in adults with very low, low, or intermediate risk myelodysplastic syndromes MDS who require regular blood transfusions. The study aims to understand if elritercept improves tiredness, lowers transfusion burden, enhances quality of life, and elicits an immune response. Participants receive either elritercept or epoetin alfa injections. Elritercept is given as a subcutaneous injection starting at 3.75 mgkg every 4 weeks, with possible dose increases to 5.0 mgkg. Epoetin alfa is administered as a subcutaneous injection starting at 450 IUkg once weekly, with possible dose escalation up to 1050 IUkg. The study follows participants for approximately 5 years to monitor treatment effects and safety. During the trial, participants are regularly assessed for transfusion independence, hemoglobin levels, fatigue, quality of life, and hematological improvements. Researchers monitor blood samples for drug concentration and immune response. Safety is evaluated through medical history, lab tests, and adverse event tracking. The main outcome is the proportion of participants achieving RBC transfusion independence for at least 12 weeks during the first 24 weeks. The study uses questionnaires and clinical assessments to measure fatigue and quality of life.
