Researchers are evaluating new treatment options for adults with locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery and has a specific KRAS G12C gene mutation. This study compares the safety and effectiveness of adding calderasib and cetuximab, both targeted therapies, to a standard chemotherapy regimen called mFOLFOX6. The goal is to see if this combination can help patients live longer without their cancer growing or spreading compared to current treatments that may include mFOLFOX6 with or without bevacizumab. The study has two parts. It involves treatment with calderasib taken as an oral tablet, cetuximab given according to standard procedures, and mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy combining oxaliplatin, leucovorin/levofolinate calcium, and 5-fluorouracil. Some participants may receive bevacizumab or a bevacizumab biosimilar as part of the comparison. The treatments are given following approved dosing schedules. This design allows researchers to assess the safety and tolerability of these drug combinations in treating this type of colorectal cancer with the KRAS G12C mutation. Participants will be monitored for side effects, treatment tolerability, and cancer progression over a period that may last up to about 44 months. Researchers will track outcomes such as how many participants experience dose-limiting toxicities or adverse events, how many stop treatment due to side effects, and progression-free survival time. Assessments include health evaluations, laboratory tests, and imaging to observe cancer status. This long-term follow-up aims to understand both safety and effectiveness of the treatment combinations.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for metastatic cervical cancer, which is cancer that has spread from the cervix to other parts of the body. This Phase 3 study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of combining sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT), an antibody drug that targets cancer cells, with pembrolizumab and bevacizumab. The study seeks to find out if this combination can help people live longer or keep their cancer from worsening compared to standard treatments. The study has two parts. In Part 1, participants receive sac-TMT together with pembrolizumab and bevacizumab to assess safety. In Part 2, after standard initial treatment, those whose cancer does not progress will be randomly assigned to maintenance treatment with either pembrolizumab alone or sac-TMT plus pembrolizumab. Bevacizumab may be added during maintenance treatment based on the doctor's decision. All treatments are given through intravenous infusions, and participants may receive rescue medications to manage side effects before sac-TMT infusion. Participants will be monitored for adverse events and treatment tolerability over several months. The study measures include progression-free survival and overall survival, assessed by independent review. Safety and treatment continuation rates are tracked during Part 1 for up to approximately 66-69 months, while Part 2 outcome measures extend up to 48-60 months. Various assessments, including laboratory tests and evaluations of cancer status, will be performed throughout the study to understand treatment effects and participant well-being.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for advanced ovarian cancer, specifically in patients who do not have homologous recombination deficiency (non-HRD positive). This Phase 3 study aims to assess whether maintenance treatment with sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT), alone or combined with bevacizumab, can improve progression-free survival compared to the current standard care after initial platinum-based chemotherapy and surgery. Participants receive sacituzumab tirumotecan through intravenous infusion at a dose of 4 mg/kg. Some also receive bevacizumab intravenously at 15 mg/kg as part of their maintenance treatment. Before sac-TMT infusion, participants are given prophylactic steroid mouthwash and recommended rescue medications including histamine-1 and histamine-2 receptor antagonists, acetaminophen or equivalent, and dexamethasone or equivalent. The study compares these treatments to standard care or observation following first-line chemotherapy. During the study, participants are monitored for progression-free survival for up to approximately 49 months. Researchers will assess how long participants live without their cancer getting worse. Throughout the trial, safety and response to treatment are evaluated. The study includes women aged 18 years and older who have completed surgery and first-line chemotherapy with specific responses and meet certain health criteria.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of a combination treatment including adagrasib, pembrolizumab, and platinum-doublet chemotherapy compared to a placebo combined with pembrolizumab and platinum-doublet chemotherapy. This study focuses on adults with previously untreated, locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a KRAS G12C mutation. The trial is a randomized, double-blind, phase 3 study designed to provide insights into treatment options for this specific lung cancer type. Participants receive either adagrasib plus pembrolizumab alongside platinum-doublet chemotherapy drugs such as carboplatin or cisplatin and pemetrexed, or they receive a placebo plus pembrolizumab and the same chemotherapy regimen. The dosages and schedules of these drugs are specified and administered on predetermined days. The trial compares these two treatment groups to understand better the impact of adding adagrasib to the existing pembrolizumab and chemotherapy treatment. Throughout the study, participants are closely monitored for progression-free survival and overall survival, assessed up to seven years using standardized criteria for tumor response. Regular imaging scans such as CT or MRI are used to measure disease status. Safety and tolerability are also evaluated during the study, with ongoing assessments to track adverse effects and treatment response. The total duration of follow-up allows for long-term observation of treatment outcomes and participant health.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of adding LY3537982 (olomorasib) to standard anti-cancer drugs compared to standard treatment alone in participants with untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a specific KRAS G12C gene mutation. This pivotal Phase 3 trial includes participants with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC and considers their programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression levels. The study includes multiple parts: Dose Optimization, Part A, and Part B are randomized, while Safety Lead-In for Part B and Part C are non-randomized. Treatments being assessed include LY3537982 taken orally, pembrolizumab administered intravenously, and standard chemotherapy drugs such as cisplatin, carboplatin, and pemetrexed given intravenously. Participants receive these treatments according to their assigned groups based on their PD-L1 expression and tumor histology. Participants will be monitored with regular assessments including measuring disease progression, safety evaluations, and treatment emergent adverse events for up to approximately one year, with overall study participation potentially lasting up to three years depending on individual response and health status. Outcome measures focus on progression-free survival and safety, capturing any adverse events from the start of treatment until disease progression or death.

Researchers are evaluating HER3-DXd monotherapy in adults with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic solid tumors who have been previously treated with at least one systemic anticancer therapy. This phase 2 proof-of-concept study includes participants with various cancers such as melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, HER2-negative gastric cancer, ovarian carcinoma, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, bladder cancer, esophageal carcinoma, pancreatic carcinoma, prostate cancer, lung cancer, and breast cancer. The study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of HER3-DXd, as well as the relationship between HER3 protein expression in tumor tissue and treatment response. Participants receive HER3-DXd as an intravenous infusion at a dose of 5.6 mg/kg every 21 days on Day 1 of each cycle. The study is organized into multiple cohorts based on tumor type, with treatment continuing until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal, or other specified reasons. HER3 protein expression and its association with treatment outcomes are also investigated. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular assessments including tumor response evaluations according to RECIST v1.1 criteria, radiographic imaging, and laboratory tests. For prostate cancer participants, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels are monitored each cycle. Safety and tolerability are closely observed up to approximately 27 months. Participants provide tumor tissue samples either from archival or fresh biopsies before treatment initiation. The overall study duration includes screening, treatment cycles, and follow-up for disease progression or other outcomes.

This research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of iza-bren, a bi-specific antibody-drug conjugate targeting EGFR and HER3 with a topoisomerase inhibitor, compared to the treatment of physician's choice (paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, carboplatin plus gemcitabine, or capecitabine). The study focuses on patients with previously untreated, locally advanced, recurrent inoperable, or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) or estrogen receptor (ER)-low, HER2-negative breast cancer who are not eligible for anti-PD(L)1 or endocrine therapies. The trial is conducted in two phases, phase 2 and phase 3, to thoroughly assess these treatments.

This research aims to evaluate the tolerability and safety of ONO-7428 in adults with unresectable advanced or recurrent solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study focuses on participants who have tumors resistant or intolerant to standard treatments and who have previously received anti-PD-(L)1 antibody therapies. It is a Phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation study designed to understand how well participants tolerate ONO-7428 and to monitor its safety profile. Participants will receive specified doses of ONO-7428 on designated days as part of the treatment protocol. The study includes a backfill cohort specifically for those with advanced or recurrent NSCLC as classified by the UICC-TNM system. The dosing schedule and escalation allow researchers to identify dose-limiting toxicities and monitor adverse events over an extended period. During the study, participants will be closely monitored for dose-limiting toxicities within the first 21 days and adverse events for up to two years. Researchers will collect tumor tissue samples for biomarker testing and assess participants’ performance status. The study involves ongoing safety assessments and long-term follow-up to better understand the effects and risks associated with ONO-7428 treatment.

Researchers are evaluating overall survival in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), a form of prostate cancer that has spread beyond the prostate and no longer responds to hormone therapies. This Phase 3 randomized trial compares pasritamig (JNJ-78278343), a T cell redirecting agent targeting human kallikrein 2, combined with best supportive care (BSC), against placebo with BSC to understand the length of time participants survive from the start of treatment. Participants receive pasritamig or placebo through intravenous infusion along with best supportive care, which is provided at the treating physician's discretion. The study focuses on men who have previously undergone multiple prostate cancer treatments including androgen-receptor pathway inhibitors, taxane chemotherapy, radioligand therapy, and possibly PARP inhibitors. Patients must continue ongoing hormone therapy during the treatment phase. During the study, participants are monitored for overall survival up to 2 years and 8 months. Assessments include clinical evaluations and laboratory tests to measure kidney and liver function, blood counts, and general health status. Safety and treatment effects are closely observed, with eligibility based on performance status and organ function. The trial aims to provide detailed long-term outcome data for this advanced prostate cancer treatment approach.

Researchers are investigating the use of raludotatug deruxtecan (R-DXd) monotherapy for patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that show various levels of cadherin-6 (CDH6) expression. This includes several gynecological cancers such as endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, and non-high-grade serous ovarian cancer, as well as genitourinary cancers like urothelial cancer and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The study is a phase 2, multi-center, open-label trial focusing on evaluating the treatment's effectiveness and safety. Participants will receive raludotatug deruxtecan administered intravenously every three weeks. The trial includes different cohorts based on tumor type: for most cohorts except ccRCC, the main measure is the objective response rate evaluated by investigators using RECIST 1.1 criteria. For the ccRCC group, the primary measure is disease control rate. The study also monitors safety and tolerability across all groups. Treatment and assessments will continue up to 32 months from baseline. During the study, participants will undergo regular evaluations including imaging to measure tumor response, safety monitoring for any adverse events, and collection of biopsy samples before treatment begins. Researchers will track treatment-emergent adverse events, serious adverse events, and any adverse events of special interest. The study involves close follow-up and assessments to understand both the benefit and side effects of the treatment over an extended period, with total participation lasting up to 32 months.
