Researchers are conducting an international multicenter retrospective observational study to better understand the progression and clinical outcomes in patients with Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) who have the JAK2V617F mutation and later develop Polycythemia Vera (PV). The study follows updated 2022 diagnostic criteria for these myeloid blood disorders and includes two parts: a nested case-control study and a comparative retrospective cohort study. In the first part, patients who progressed from ET to PV by the end of 2020 are matched 1:1 with ET patients who have the same mutation but did not progress, based on year and age at ET diagnosis and disease duration. The second part compares patients with newly diagnosed PV who never had ET, matched similarly by year and age at diagnosis and disease duration, ensuring at least 5 years of follow-up for these patients. Participants' medical records will be reviewed retrospectively to compare clinical features and outcomes up to their baseline dates. The study aims to clarify phenotypic changes and clinical results in these patient groups. No interventions are administered, and the study focuses on analyzing existing data to assess progression and outcomes in these blood conditions.

Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a condition in which the immune system mistakenly destroys platelets, the cells that help stop bleeding. This leads to a low platelet count, making it easier to bruise or bleed. The trial investigates the long-term safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of mezagitamab in adults with chronic primary ITP who have previously participated in certain mezagitamab studies. It also examines how the body processes mezagitamab over time. Participants who completed the previous mezagitamab studies TAK-079-3002 or TAK-079-1004 and meet specific criteria will receive mezagitamab as a subcutaneous injection during this continuation study. The study is open-label and multicenter, focusing on continued treatment based on protocol requirements. The medication is given under medical supervision, and participants return to the study clinic several times throughout the study. During their participation, individuals will undergo regular assessments including monitoring for treatment-emergent adverse events and serious adverse events up to approximately 108 weeks. Researchers will track safety by noting any adverse events that lead to permanent withdrawal from mezagitamab. The study includes physical evaluations, laboratory tests, and ongoing safety monitoring to understand how well participants tolerate the treatment and how effective it is over the long term.

Researchers are conducting a large prospective, observational cohort study to assess the clinical impact of new monoclonal antibodies (MAB) in treating B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) within Italian clinical practice. The study focuses on patients needing treatment for B-cell NHL, including those receiving first-line or relapsed/refractory therapy. The novel MAB being studied have received approval from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) since 2020 and are prescribed according to authorized marketing indications in Italy. Participants will receive novel MAB treatments either alone or in combination, prescribed based on EMA-approved indications since 2020. Patients will be grouped into cohorts according to the treatment indication, antibody type, and lymphoma subtype, with additional sub-cohorts created if necessary. This design allows analysis by indication, antibody type, subtype, and overall evaluation of the entire patient cohort. Throughout the study, researchers will collect clinical information to evaluate the use, feasibility, efficacy, and toxicity of these novel antibodies. Key outcomes measured over at least five years include 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 incidence of early and late adverse events. Participants will be closely monitored for both short- and long-term effects of the treatments.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of Kedrion Intravenous Human Normal Immunoglobulin 10% (IVIg 10%) in adult patients with chronic primary Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP), a condition characterized by low platelet counts lasting over 12 months. This Phase III, open-label, single-arm, multicenter study focuses on adults aged 18 to 70 years with chronic ITP and low platelet levels, aiming to assess the treatment's response rate by day 14. The study involves administering Kedrion IVIG 10% intravenously to eligible patients. Participants will receive the treatment following screening and baseline assessments, with careful monitoring of platelet counts and health status. The protocol includes specific criteria for inclusion and exclusion to ensure patient safety and appropriate evaluation of the therapy. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including platelet counts, safety evaluations, and monitoring for any adverse effects. Researchers will measure the rate of patients who respond to treatment by day 14. The study also requires adherence to protocol guidelines, pregnancy testing for women of childbearing potential, and use of birth control during the trial. The total participation period covers screening, treatment, and follow-up visits as outlined in the study protocol.

This research focuses on patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM) who have been treated with the T-cell redirectors teclistamab or talquetamab outside of clinical trials. The study aims to describe the clinical outcomes and safety management of these treatments in a real-world setting, analyzing how patients respond and survive after receiving these therapies. The study does not administer any new interventions but instead collects and analyzes retrospective data from medical records of patients who have received teclistamab or talquetamab. Participants are grouped based on when they received their first dose, covering different time periods up to the end of 2025. This allows the study to assess outcomes for patients treated with these drugs over several years. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor various outcomes, including overall response rates, time to response, duration of response, minimal residual disease status, overall survival, progression-free survival, and time to next treatment. Safety management during treatment is also described. Data will be collected from baseline (day 1) through up to 40 months following treatment initiation, using medical records to understand treatment effects and patient characteristics over time.

Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a condition where the immune system mistakenly destroys platelets, cells that help stop bleeding, leading to a low platelet count and increased risk of bruising or bleeding. This study is evaluating whether mezagitamab, given under the skin, can effectively maintain stable platelet counts in adults with chronic primary ITP compared to a placebo. The study is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind trial designed to assess the efficacy and safety of mezagitamab in this patient population. Participants will receive mezagitamab injections or placebo injections administered subcutaneously for up to 6 months. Those who complete this study or do not respond to treatment by week 16 may have the option to join a continuation study to receive open-label mezagitamab if eligible. The study includes careful monitoring during treatment, with multiple visits to the study clinic throughout the treatment period. During the study, participants will undergo various assessments to monitor their platelet counts and overall health. Researchers will measure the percentage of participants who achieve a durable platelet response up to week 24. Safety and response to treatment will be regularly evaluated through clinical visits and laboratory tests. The total participation duration includes the initial treatment phase and potential extension in the continuation study for those who qualify.

Researchers are investigating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and early anti-tumor effects of new drugs or drug combinations given around the time of surgery (perioperative treatment) for people with locally advanced, operable gastric, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal adenocarcinoma who have not previously been treated for their cancer. This Phase II study involves multiple centers and evaluates different novel treatments within separate sub-studies tailored to specific patient groups. Participants will be assigned to one of three sub-studies, each testing different novel agents or combinations approved by a Safety Review Committee. Treatments include intravenous infusions of drugs such as AZD0901, Rilvegostomig, and Trastuzumab Deruxtecan, as well as standard chemotherapy agents like Capecitabine (oral), 5-Fluorouracil (IV), and FLOT chemotherapy (IV). The study aims to find the recommended doses and assess the effects of these treatments given before and after surgery. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor participants for adverse events and serious side effects up to 38 months. They will also measure the percentage of participants who achieve a complete tumor response. Participants undergo regular assessments including physical exams, laboratory tests, and imaging to evaluate treatment effects and safety. The study is designed to provide detailed information on how well these new treatments work and how safe they are over a prolonged follow-up period.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness, safety, and patient-reported outcomes of standard treatments for people with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma in real-world clinical settings. This study follows participants over 24 months to observe how current standard care works for those who have previously received treatment for this condition. The research includes participants who meet specific diagnostic criteria and have measurable disease based on recognized myeloma guidelines. The study does not involve any experimental treatment; instead, it observes patients receiving standard care as decided by their doctors. Participants include those who have undergone multiple prior therapies, including specific drug classes and targeted treatments, depending on the study period. The study covers different periods with slightly varied eligibility and treatment histories, including a group starting talquetamab treatment for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Participants will be monitored for up to 52 months to evaluate their response to treatment, including overall response rates. Researchers will collect data on their health status, treatment history, and patient-reported outcomes. Safety and effectiveness will be assessed based on clinical evaluations and disease progression as determined by their healthcare providers throughout the study period.

Researchers are studying the use of revumenib in people with relapsed or refractory acute leukemias, including those with specific genetic changes such as MLL/KMT2A gene rearrangements or NPM1 mutations. The trial has two phases: Phase 1 aims to find the highest safe dose and recommended dose for Phase 2, while Phase 2 evaluates the drug's effectiveness and safety in different types of acute leukemia. This study includes participants with various acute leukemias, including acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, mixed lineage acute leukemia, and others with specific genetic profiles. In Phase 1, participants receive oral revumenib in one of six groups based on their use of certain antifungal drugs or other medications affecting liver enzymes, with one group also receiving cobicistat daily. Phase 2 enrolls participants in four specific groups depending on their leukemia type and genetic mutations, to further assess the drug's effects. Treatments are given orally, and dosing is carefully increased during Phase 1 to identify safe levels. Participants will be monitored for side effects, drug levels in the body, and treatment responses for up to approximately 1 year in Phase 1 and about 3 years in Phase 2. Assessments include blood tests, bone marrow evaluations, and safety checks. Researchers will track the number of participants experiencing dose-limiting toxicities and adverse events, as well as measure drug exposure and response rates. The study also includes long-term follow-up to observe ongoing safety and treatment outcomes.

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in adult patients with advanced HER2-positive gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma who have previously been treated with a trastuzumab-based regimen. The study also collects patient demographic and clinical information, treatment patterns, and safety data including serious adverse events and drug reactions. It includes a disease registry for patients receiving conventional therapies in a real-world European setting. The study is non-interventional, meaning no investigational drugs are administered beyond standard care. Patients receiving T-DXd will be treated according to the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC), and data on conventional therapies such as platinum-fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy, nivolumab, ramucirumab-paclitaxel, taxane, irinotecan, and pembrolizumab will also be gathered. Treatment choices and administration follow the physician's decision and routine clinical practice. Participants will be monitored from baseline to about two years to assess the time to next treatment. Researchers will collect clinical data, treatment details, tolerability, and patient surveys to understand outcomes and safety. The study involves regular follow-up and data collection to track treatment effectiveness and patient experience in real-world settings.
