Researchers are studying whether combining calderasib, a targeted therapy for the KRAS G12C mutation, with subcutaneous pembrolizumab can treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study aims to determine if people receiving calderasib with pembrolizumab live longer without their cancer growing or spreading compared to those receiving pembrolizumab with chemotherapy. This is a phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter clinical trial focusing on participants with advanced or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC carrying the KRAS G12C mutation. Participants will receive one of two treatment combinations. One group will take calderasib orally along with subcutaneous pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa injections. The other group will receive subcutaneous pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy drugs pemetrexed and a platinum-based drug, either carboplatin or cisplatin, administered by intravenous infusion. These treatments are given as first-line therapy, and the study evaluates their safety and effectiveness. During the study, researchers will monitor participants for progression-free survival, especially focusing on those with at least 1% PD-L1 tumor proportion score, for up to approximately 48 months. Participants will undergo regular assessments to track cancer progression and response to treatment. Safety and efficacy data will be collected throughout the study to understand how well the treatments work and their side effects over time.

Researchers are evaluating a new treatment called ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd) for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This study compares I-DXd to chemotherapy to see if it helps people live longer overall and live longer without their cancer worsening. It is a Phase 3, open-label trial focused on patients who have progressed on prior therapies and have evidence of metastatic disease. Participants receive either I-DXd through an intravenous infusion every 3 weeks or docetaxel chemotherapy administered every 3 weeks. Prednisone tablets are also given daily as part of the treatment plan. Before each I-DXd dose, premedication is provided to help prevent nausea and vomiting using a combination of drugs such as corticosteroids and anti-nausea medicines. Treatment continues until disease progression, unacceptable side effects, or other reasons to stop. During the study, researchers monitor overall survival and how long patients live without their cancer progressing, for up to about 36 months. Participants undergo tumor tissue collection, scans, and assessments to track disease status and side effects. Safety is closely watched throughout treatment. The study includes men aged 18 and older with confirmed prostate cancer and metastatic disease who have previously received certain hormone therapies but no prior taxane chemotherapy for mCRPC.

Researchers are evaluating KK2260 in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors in a Phase 1 clinical trial. The study aims to find the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and assess the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of KK2260 across multiple cancer types, including esophageal and head and neck cancers. The study includes initial dose escalation followed by evaluations of different dosing regimens tailored by cancer type. KK2260 is given through an intravenous infusion at various dose levels. The study is divided into parts: Part 1a focuses on finding the MTD while monitoring safety; Part 1b and Part 2 involve testing selected dosing regimens in specific cancers. Participants may undergo tumor biopsies before and after treatment to help assess the drug's effects. Participants will be closely monitored for safety and treatment effects for about one year. This includes regular blood tests every week to check many laboratory values such as blood cell counts, liver and kidney function, electrolytes, and immune markers. Vital signs, electrocardiograms, and performance status will also be tracked weekly. Researchers will record any side effects and dose-limiting toxicities. The thorough monitoring helps understand KK2260's impact over time and supports participant safety throughout the study.

Researchers are assessing the safety and effects of marstacimab as a potential treatment for hemophilia in children aged 1 to 17 years. This study includes pediatric participants with severe Hemophilia A or moderately severe to severe Hemophilia B, with or without inhibitors. Enrollment will occur in stages, starting with adolescents aged 12 to 17 years, followed by children aged 6 to 11 years, and finally those aged 1 to 5 years. Participants must have detailed historical records of their hemophilia treatment and bleeding events for at least one year prior to joining the study. All participants will receive marstacimab once weekly by subcutaneous injection, with the first dose given at the study site by staff. During the 12-month treatment period, weekly injections may be administered at home or at the study site based on preference. The study compares participant experiences during treatment with their historical records before starting marstacimab to evaluate its potential to prevent bleeding episodes common in hemophilia. Participants will be involved for about 14 months, including a 1-month screening period, 12 months of treatment, and a 1-month follow-up. They will visit the study site at least 10 times, with the option for two visits to be conducted at home if local rules allow. Additionally, six telephone calls will be scheduled every two months. Researchers will monitor bleeding rates, adverse events, thrombotic events, immune responses, injection site reactions, and hypersensitivity throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab as first-line treatments for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) whose tumors have high PD-L1 expression. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, and global study focuses on participants with stage IV mNSCLC who do not have certain genetic mutations or rearrangements and are eligible for systemic therapy. Participants receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. The study compares these two biological treatments given as monotherapy. Both groups will be monitored over time to assess treatment impact and safety. Throughout the study, participants undergo evaluations including tumor measurements by CT or MRI, performance status assessments, and organ function tests. Researchers will measure overall survival and progression-free survival for up to approximately five years. Tumor samples are collected before treatment for central testing, and participants’ health and treatment responses are closely followed during the trial period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab, both combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, as initial treatments for patients with metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) whose tumors express PD-L1. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, global study focuses on patients whose tumors meet the PD-L1 expression threshold of 1% or higher and do not have certain genetic mutations or rearrangements that would require other targeted therapies. Participants receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab intravenously on the first day of each 21-day treatment cycle. Both groups also receive platinum-based chemotherapy drugs such as carboplatin or cisplatin, administered intravenously up to four cycles, along with pemetrexed given intravenously on Day 1 of each cycle. The study monitors these treatments as first-line therapy for metastatic non-squamous NSCLC. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor size and response, as well as evaluations of organ and bone marrow function. Researchers track overall survival and progression-free survival for up to approximately five years. Safety is closely monitored throughout, and patients are followed long-term to assess outcomes related to treatment effectiveness and tolerability.

This is a Phase III, two-arm, randomized, double-blind, global, multicenter study assessing the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab, both in combination with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, as a first-line (1L) treatment for patients with squamous metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) whose tumors express PD-L1 (tumor cells (TC) ≥ 1%).

The trial investigates the use of volrustomig in participants with unresected locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) who have not shown disease progression after receiving definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT). The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of volrustomig compared to observation in this patient population. Participants have tumors that express PD-L1 and the study is conducted as a Phase III, randomized, open-label, multi-center global trial. Participants are assigned to receive either volrustomig as sequential therapy following cCRT or to an observation group. The treatment period involves monitoring participants who have completed definitive cCRT but remain unresected and have no evidence of metastatic disease. The study focuses on participants with Stage III, IVA, or IVB LA-HNSCC according to AJCC criteria, who have not undergone tumor resection before cCRT and have not been treated with radiotherapy alone. During the study, participants are regularly evaluated for progression-free survival, with follow-up lasting up to approximately 8 years to assess long-term outcomes. Researchers will monitor safety and disease progression closely. The overall participation duration includes screening, treatment or observation, and extended follow-up to capture both efficacy and safety data over time.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety of subcutaneous guselkumab in children with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, or juvenile psoriatic arthritis. This Phase 3, open-label study aims to monitor the safety of this treatment over an extended period in a pediatric population. Participants will receive guselkumab through subcutaneous injections. The study includes those who have completed the initial pediatric guselkumab dosing and have benefited from continued therapy as judged by their doctor. The study focuses on long-term treatment, with safety assessed by tracking adverse events for up to 6 years and 9 months. During the study, children will be regularly monitored for treatment-emergent adverse events. Parents or guardians will provide consent, and children able to understand will give assent. Researchers will collect data to assess safety throughout the treatment period, ensuring careful observation of participants' health and responses to guselkumab.

Researchers are conducting a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of duvakitug in participants with moderately to severely active Ulcerative Colitis (UC). The study aims to assess how well duvakitug maintains clinical remission compared to a placebo over time. Participants will receive either duvakitug or placebo administered by subcutaneous injection during a 40-week pivotal maintenance period. Following this, eligible participants may join a 240-week open-label extension phase where they can continue receiving treatment. Participants who do not join the extension will complete a 45-day follow-up visit. The study includes up to 32 on-site visits, with 21 visits during the maintenance phase and 11 visits during the extension phase. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for clinical remission using the modified Mayo Score by week 40. Safety and efficacy will be assessed regularly during office visits. The total study duration may last up to 286 weeks, including treatment, extension, and follow-up periods, ensuring thorough evaluation of long-term outcomes and safety of duvakitug in UC management.
