This trial evaluates the effectiveness of adjuvant cemiplimab immunotherapy in adults with surgically removed stage II-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC who have not previously received adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy. The study aims to compare disease-free survival between patients treated with cemiplimab and those under observation without additional treatment, focusing on patients with tumors showing PD-L1 expression of 1% or higher. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either cemiplimab or observation. Those in the cemiplimab group receive 350 mg intravenously every 3 weeks for 4 cycles, followed by 700 mg every 6 weeks for up to 6 cycles or until disease relapse or unacceptable side effects occur. The observation group does not receive adjuvant treatment. Treatment continues until relapse, toxicity, or completion of planned cycles. During the trial, participants undergo regular assessments including imaging and laboratory tests to monitor disease status and side effects. The main outcome measured is disease-free survival, tracked for approximately 59 months from randomization. Secondary outcomes include overall survival and the nature and severity of adverse events. Participants are monitored for safety and treatment response throughout the study period, which is expected to conclude in March 2029.

Researchers are conducting a large prospective, observational cohort study to evaluate the clinical impact of new Monoclonal Antibodies MAB in patients with B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma NHL treated in Italian clinical practice. The study focuses on collecting information about the use, feasibility, effectiveness, and both short- and long-term side effects of novel MABs that have been approved by the European Medicines Agency since 2020 and prescribed according to authorized indications in Italy. Participants will be divided into groups based on treatment indication, antibody type, and lymphoma subtype to allow detailed analysis. The study observes patients with B-cell NHL who have received at least one dose of a novel MAB either alone or in combination, as authorized for use in Italy. Both patients receiving first-line treatment and those with relapsed or refractory disease are included. Various cohorts and sub-cohorts will be analyzed to understand outcomes by indication, antibody type, and histological subtype, providing a comprehensive overview of these treatments in real-life settings. Participants will be followed for at least five years to assess outcomes such as overall response rate, complete response rate, progression-free survival, overall survival, event-free survival, time to next treatment, non-relapse mortality, duration of response, and the incidence of early and late adverse events. Clinical data collection will include treatment details, safety monitoring, and long-term follow-up to evaluate both effectiveness and toxicity. The study spans several years, allowing researchers to capture extensive real-world evidence on novel MAB use in B-cell NHL.

Researchers are conducting a Phase 3 randomized trial to evaluate how well azenosertib works and how safe it is compared to chemotherapy chosen by the doctor for women with platinum-resistant high-grade serous ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancers that test positive for cyclin E1 protein. This cancer type relies on WEE1 for cell cycle control, and azenosertib targets this pathway to increase tumor cell damage and death. The study compares two treatment groups one receives azenosertib orally at 400 mg daily on a schedule of 5 days on and 2 days off, while the other group receives chemotherapy selected by the investigator according to protocol guidelines. The chemotherapy options include paclitaxel, gemcitabine, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin PLD, or topotecan, all given intravenously. Treatments continue as per the study plan to assess their effects. Participants will be closely monitored for up to about 24 months after the last person enrolls. Researchers will perform regular assessments including tumor measurements using RECIST criteria, quality of life questionnaires, and tracking of side effects or adverse events. The main outcome measured is progression-free survival, with additional evaluations of overall survival and response rates. Safety and quality of life changes will also be followed throughout the study.

Researchers are evaluating Dostarlimab compared to a placebo in adults with locally advanced unresected Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma HNSCC. This phase 3 trial aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of Dostarlimab as a sequential therapy following chemoradiation treatment in participants with this type of cancer. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either Dostarlimab or a placebo, both given as intravenous infusions. The study is double-blind, meaning neither the participants nor the researchers know which treatment is being given. The treatments follow completion of chemoradiation with cisplatin and radiotherapy intended to cure the cancer. During the study, participants will be monitored for up to approximately 5 years. Researchers will evaluate event-free survival and overall survival, with safety assessments including treatment-emergent adverse events and laboratory tests. Blood samples will be taken to measure drug levels and immune responses. This long-term follow-up will help understand the effects and safety of Dostarlimab after chemoradiation therapy.

Researchers are evaluating elacestrant compared to standard endocrine therapies in adults with node-positive, Estrogen Receptor-positive ER, HER2-negative early breast cancer who are at high risk of cancer returning. The study focuses on those who have had prior endocrine therapy and aims to measure how well elacestrant may prevent invasive breast cancer recurrence over five years. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either 345 mg of elacestrant daily for five years or continue their prior standard endocrine therapy, which may include an aromatase inhibitor anastrozole, letrozole, or exemestane or tamoxifen. The trial is open-label, meaning both participants and researchers know which treatment is given. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor cancer recurrence, survival, side effects, and quality of life. Evaluations include questionnaires on health status and physical functioning at baseline, six months, and annually for up to five years. Safety is tracked through adverse event reporting up to five years plus 28 days. The total participation duration can last up to five years with ongoing monitoring and data collection.

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 efficacy and safety of iza-bren, a bi-specific antibody-drug conjugate targeting EGFR and HER3 with a chemotherapy payload, compared to treatment chosen by physicians including paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, carboplatin plus gemcitabine, and capecitabine for patients with first-line metastatic triple-negative breast cancer TNBC or low estrogen receptor ER-low, HER2-negative breast cancer who cannot receive anti-PDL1 or endocrine therapies. This study includes adults with locally advanced, recurrent inoperable, or metastatic disease who meet specific eligibility criteria. Participants are randomly assigned to receive iza-bren or one of the physicians choice chemotherapy regimens. The treatments are given at specified doses on scheduled days. The study includes two phases Phase 2 to determine the recommended dose of iza-bren and Phase 3 to compare progression-free survival and other outcomes. The study will last several years, with follow-up extending up to approximately 47 months after randomization. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor response, laboratory tests, and monitoring for adverse events. Quality of life questionnaires will also be completed. Researchers will track progression-free survival, overall survival, treatment-related side effects, tumor size changes, and patient-reported outcomes to evaluate the treatments. The total participation duration may extend up to several years depending on treatment response and follow-up requirements.

Researchers are conducting a three-part Phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate a potential new medicine called Sofetabart Mipitecan Sofe-M in people with high-grade serous or endometrioid ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancers. The study focuses on patients with platinum-resistant cancer in Part A, meaning their disease worsened during or within six months of platinum-based chemotherapy, and platinum-sensitive cancer in Parts B and C, where disease remained controlled for more than six months after platinum treatment. The goal is to assess whether Sofe-M works better than current standard treatments and to understand its safety. Participants receive treatments administered intravenously. Part A compares Sofe-M to investigators choice of chemotherapy or Mirvetuximab Soravtansine MIRV. Parts B and C compare Sofe-M plus bevacizumab to platinum-based doublet chemotherapy plus bevacizumab. The study includes multiple chemotherapy options such as paclitaxel, topotecan, gemcitabine, and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin. Each participants involvement duration depends on their response to treatment. During the trial, participants undergo regular assessments including imaging to measure progression-free survival and overall survival. Researchers also track tumor marker responses, side effects, quality of life scores, and pharmacokinetics of Sofe-M. The study uses a randomized design without masking. Follow-up can last up to about 70 months, allowing for long-term safety and effectiveness monitoring.

Researchers are conducting a prospective observational study to describe the population affected by Epithelioid Sarcoma ES. The study aims to deepen understanding of the diseases natural history, explore differences between classical-type and proximal-type ES variants, and address outstanding questions regarding its management to help tailor treatments and improve patient outcomes. Participants diagnosed with localized or advanced epithelioid sarcoma and treated at Italian reference centers for sarcoma will be observed. Treatments for ES will follow disease guidelines, and the study will track therapies such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy over time. The study does not involve experimental treatments but focuses on collecting detailed information about patient care and disease progression. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor the types of treatments given from diagnosis up to 60 months, including regular assessments of radiotherapy and chemotherapy every six months. They will also study predictive biomarkers for treatment response at diagnosis and during disease progression when biopsies are performed. Participants will provide informed consent and are expected to comply with treatment and follow-up during the study period, which may continue until 2030.

Researchers are evaluating the combination of capivasertib with CDK46 inhibitors and fulvestrant in adults with hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. This Phase IbIII study aims to determine the safe dose for the combination treatment in the initial Phase Ib part and then compare its effectiveness and safety to standard treatment in the Phase III part in participants who have not received prior endocrine therapy in the advanced setting. In the Phase Ib portion, participants receive capivasertib combined with one of the CDK46 inhibitorspalbociclib, ribociclib, or abemacicliband fulvestrant to establish recommended doses. In the Phase III part, participants are randomly assigned to receive either capivasertib plus fulvestrant with a chosen CDK46 inhibitor palbociclib or ribociclib or fulvestrant with a CDK46 inhibitor alone. Treatments are given in 28-day cycles with specific dosing schedules for each drug, including oral doses of capivasertib and CDK46 inhibitors and injections of fulvestrant. Participants undergo screening and regular monitoring throughout the study, including assessments of treatment side effects, tumor progression, and blood samples for pharmacokinetics and biomarker analysis. The primary outcomes include dose-limiting toxicities and adverse events in Phase Ib and progression-free survival in Phase III, with follow-up lasting up to several years to evaluate overall survival, response rates, physical functioning, and quality of life.
