Researchers are evaluating if combining the medicines calderasib and subcutaneous pembrolizumab can more effectively treat people with non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has a KRAS G12C mutation. The study aims to find out whether patients receiving calderasib with pembrolizumab live longer without their cancer growing or spreading compared to those receiving pembrolizumab with chemotherapy. This is a Phase 3 clinical trial focusing on first-line treatment for advanced or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC. Participants are assigned to one of two groups. One group receives subcutaneous pembrolizumab plus berahyaluronidase alfa every 6 weeks for up to 18 cycles about 2 years along with oral calderasib until treatment discontinuation criteria are met. The other group receives the same pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa regimen plus chemotherapy with pemetrexed and either carboplatin or cisplatin infusions during the early cycles. Treatment continues based on individual response and tolerability. During the study, participants will have regular visits for treatment and monitoring. Researchers will assess progression-free survival, overall survival, response rates, and quality of life using questionnaires and symptom scores over several years. Safety will be monitored through adverse event reporting. The trial lasts up to about 7 years with ongoing evaluation of health outcomes and side effects to understand the impact of these treatment combinations.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of combining durvalumab and domvanalimab compared to durvalumab plus placebo in adults with locally advanced Stage III, unresectable non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC whose disease has not progressed after definitive platinum-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy cCRT. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, international study aims to provide new insights into treatment options for this patient population. Participants will receive either durvalumab and domvanalimab or durvalumab plus placebo as intravenous infusions every four weeks, beginning on Day 1 and continuing for up to 12 months. The study includes two groups one receiving the combination of durvalumab and domvanalimab, and the other receiving durvalumab with a placebo. Both treatments are given through infusion to assess their effects on disease progression and safety. During the trial, participants will undergo regular assessments including monitoring progression-free survival for up to 8 years after randomization. Other measures include overall survival, response rates, duration of response, and various time-to-event outcomes related to disease progression and symptom deterioration. Researchers will also evaluate drug concentrations and immune responses approximately 12 weeks after the last dose. Participants can expect scheduled visits for infusions and evaluations as part of this long-term study.

Researchers are evaluating oral icotrokinra as a treatment for adults and adolescents with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the large intestine causing ulcers in the colon lining. The study aims to assess how well icotrokinra works, along with its safety and tolerability in this population. This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with a parallel group design including both adults and adolescents. Adult participants will be randomly assigned to receive either icotrokinra or placebo daily by mouth during a 12-week induction phase. At Week 12, those showing clinical response will enter a maintenance phase where they will continue icotrokinra or placebo daily for 40 weeks. Adults who do not respond will also enter the maintenance phase and receive icotrokinra. Adolescents will receive open-label icotrokinra during induction and then continue on icotrokinra during maintenance regardless of response. After completing the 40-week maintenance phase, eligible participants may join a long-term extension study. Participants will be monitored regularly through clinical assessments at specified time points including Week 12 for induction and Week 40 for maintenance. Outcomes measured include rates of clinical remission, symptom improvement, endoscopic and histologic healing, and quality of life scores. Safety will be evaluated by tracking adverse and serious adverse events throughout the study. The total study duration may extend up to approximately 6 years, ending in 2032, allowing long-term evaluation of icotrokinra in ulcerative colitis management.

Researchers are comparing two treatment combinations for adults with advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that have a specific KRAS p.G12C mutation and are negative for PD-L1 expression. The study aims to evaluate progression-free survival and overall survival between participants receiving sotorasib with platinum doublet chemotherapy and those receiving pembrolizumab with platinum doublet chemotherapy. This phase 3, randomized, open-label trial is led by Amgen and includes participants with stage IV or advanced stage IIIBC NSCLC. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either sotorasib orally combined with carboplatin and pemetrexed, or pembrolizumab intravenously combined with the same chemotherapy drugs. These treatments are given as front-line therapy. The study includes a treatment period with these drug combinations and monitoring for outcomes such as response rates and quality of life over several years. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed through various measures including survival status, tumor response, and quality-of-life questionnaires focusing on lung cancer symptoms. Researchers will monitor safety by tracking adverse events, vital signs, and laboratory tests. Treatment concentrations of sotorasib will also be measured up to 64 days after starting. The total study duration includes follow-up for up to approximately 5.5 years to fully evaluate treatment effects and outcomes.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of the drugs eltrekibart and mirikizumab in adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis UC, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. This Phase 2 study aims to find out how these treatments work alone or in combination to improve UC symptoms and health. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and will last about 4 to 5 years, including screening. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of several treatments eltrekibart with a placebo, mirikizumab with a placebo, both drugs together, or placebo alone. The study is double-blinded, meaning neither the participants nor the researchers know which treatment is given to ensure unbiased results. The treatment period includes dosing with the study drugs or placebo, and participants will be monitored for safety and response. Participants will be involved in the trial for around 69 weeks, including a screening period of up to 35 days before starting treatment. Throughout the study, they will undergo assessments to measure clinical remission, response, endoscopic improvement, and quality of life using questionnaires. Blood samples will be taken to study drug levels, and researchers will monitor safety and disease activity regularly. The main outcome is the percentage of participants achieving clinical remission at Week 12, with additional measures assessed up to Week 52.

Researchers are evaluating the clinical and endoscopic effects of guselkumab in children aged 2 to 17 years with moderately to severely active Crohns Disease who show clinical response at Week 12. This Phase 3 study focuses on assessing the treatments impact at the end of a one-year maintenance period in pediatric participants with this condition. The trial is sponsored by Janssen Research & Development, LLC. Participants first receive guselkumab either intravenously or subcutaneously based on their body weight during a 12-week open-label induction phase. Those who respond at Week 12 are then randomly assigned to one of two subcutaneous guselkumab dosing regimens for a double-blind maintenance phase lasting up to Week 48. Non-responders at Week 12 enter an open-label maintenance phase with guselkumab subcutaneous dosing up to Week 48. Throughout the study, participants undergo clinical and endoscopic evaluations to measure remission and response rates, including endoscopic scores and clinical remission at Week 52. Additional assessments include growth measurements such as weight and height changes, and plasma concentrations of guselkumab. Safety is monitored with adverse event tracking up to Week 64, with the total duration of participation spanning just over one year.

Researchers are evaluating intismeran autogene combined with pembrolizumab compared to placebo plus pembrolizumab as an additional treatment after surgery for participants with certain stages of non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC. The study focuses on participants with margin-negative, completely resected Stage II, IIIA, or IIIB with nodal involvement NSCLC. The main question is whether the combination including intismeran autogene improves disease-free survival compared to pembrolizumab with placebo. Participants are randomly assigned to two groups. One group receives 1 mg of intismeran autogene by intramuscular injection every 3 weeks for nine doses plus 400 mg of pembrolizumab by intravenous infusion every 6 weeks for up to nine doses. The other group receives a placebo injection on the same schedule plus pembrolizumab on the same infusion schedule. Treatment continues until disease recurrence, unacceptable side effects, or approximately one year, whichever comes first. During the study, participants are monitored through regular assessments up to about 78 months for disease-free survival and up to 12 years for overall survival and other health outcomes. Quality of life questionnaires and adverse event monitoring are conducted at baseline and throughout the study. The research team tracks lung cancer-specific survival and distant metastasis-free survival, as well as changes in symptoms like coughing and chest pain. Safety is closely observed throughout treatment and follow-up periods.

Researchers are evaluating how well JNJ-78934804 works and how safe it is compared to guselkumab in participants with moderately to severely active Crohns disease, a long-term and progressive condition affecting the intestine. This Phase 3 trial aims to assess clinical remission and endoscopic remission at Week 48, focusing on treatment efficacy and safety. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either JNJ-78934804 or guselkumab. Both treatments involve induction doses at Weeks 0, 4, and 8, followed by maintenance doses every 4 weeks starting at Week 12. Participants meeting rescue criteria will receive additional induction doses of JNJ-78934804 at Weeks 16, 20, and 24, with maintenance doses continuing every 4 weeks from Week 28. Those completing the double-blind phase at Week 48 may enter a long-term extension phase if the investigator believes they may benefit. During the study, participants will be monitored for clinical and endoscopic remission, deep remission, corticosteroid-free remission, and patient-reported outcomes up to Week 48. Researchers will also track adverse events for up to approximately three years. Assessments include symptom scores, endoscopy reviews, and quality-of-life questionnaires to evaluate the treatments effects and safety throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating mirikizumab for children and teenagers aged 2 to 17 years with moderately to severely active Crohns disease, including fistulizing Crohns disease with active inflammation in the colon or ileum. The study aims to assess the treatments effectiveness, safety, tolerability, and how well it is absorbed in the body. Participants must have a history of inadequate response or intolerance to other Crohns disease medications and will be randomly assigned to receive mirikizumab or another intervention. The treatment involves receiving mirikizumab either intravenously IV or subcutaneously SC, with dosing based on the participants weight in three different weight groups over 40 kg, 20 to 40 kg, and 9 to 20 kg. The study includes a 12-week induction period, followed by a maintenance phase lasting until Week 52. After treatment, there is a safety follow-up period lasting up to 16 weeks. The entire study spans about 74 weeks and may include up to 19 visits. Participants will undergo assessments including clinical response evaluations by the Pediatric Crohns Disease Activity Index PCDAI, endoscopic assessments using the Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohns Disease SES-CD, and laboratory tests such as C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin levels. Pharmacokinetic studies will measure how the drug is cleared and distributed in the body. Safety monitoring continues during the follow-up period to track any adverse events or treatment tolerability throughout the study duration.

Researchers are evaluating vepugratinib, a new medicine, to see if it is safe and helpful for people with advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma, a type of bladder cancer with FGFR3 genetic changes. This Phase 3 study compares vepugratinib combined with enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab against a placebo combined with these same drugs. The trial is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and aims to assess treatment safety and effectiveness over a long period. Participants receive either vepugratinib or a placebo orally, together with enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab given by intravenous infusion. The study uses a double-blind, randomized design with parallel groups to compare these treatments. There is a safety lead-in phase followed by the main treatment phase, and study participation may last up to approximately 6 years. During the trial, participants will have regular assessments including monitoring for treatment-related side effects, tumor response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and quality of life using questionnaires. Researchers will collect blood samples to measure drug levels and evaluate health status at baseline and throughout the study. Safety and effectiveness outcomes will be tracked up to 90 months, with continuous monitoring to ensure participant well-being over the long-term study period.
