Researchers are evaluating MK-3120, a study medicine, for its safety and tolerability in people with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer HR NMIBC. This type of cancer affects the tissue lining the inside of the bladder without spreading to the muscle or beyond. Standard treatment involves removing the tumor through a procedure called transurethral resection of the bladder tumor TURBT, and this study aims to see how MK-3120 works after TURBT. Participants in this study will receive MK-3120 through intravesical administration. The treatment is given once weekly for the first 6 weeks, followed by once monthly for 9 months. The study includes people who are either new to Bacillus Calmette-Gurin BCG therapy or have been exposed to BCG under specific conditions. The dosing and schedule are designed to assess safety and participant tolerance over an extended period. During the study, participants will be closely monitored for dose-limiting toxicities, adverse events, and treatment discontinuations due to side effects. Researchers will also evaluate the complete response rate within approximately 3 months. The overall safety assessment will continue for up to 24 months, while treatment discontinuations due to adverse events will be tracked for about 12 months. This extended monitoring helps ensure thorough evaluation of MK-3120s effects.

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.
