Researchers are evaluating calderasib alone or combined with cetuximab to treat people with advanced solid tumors that have the KRAS G12C mutation, excluding colorectal cancer. This study aims to measure how many participants experience tumor shrinkage or disappearance and compare the responses between the two treatments. It is a phase 2, open-label trial focused on treatment safety and tolerability. Participants will receive calderasib orally with no set limit on treatment cycles. Some participants will also receive cetuximab via intravenous infusion every two weeks. Treatment continues until criteria for stopping the study intervention are met. The trial uses a randomized, parallel design to compare the two experimental arms. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for tumor response, adverse events, and treatment discontinuations related to side effects. Researchers will also assess progression-free survival, duration of response, and overall survival up to about 76 months. The trial lasts until April 2032, with ongoing safety and efficacy evaluations during this period.

Researchers are studying treatments for locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer mCRC that cannot be removed by surgery and has a specific KRAS G12C gene mutation. This trial aims to evaluate if adding the targeted therapies calderasib and cetuximab to the standard chemotherapy regimen mFOLFOX6 can provide better outcomes compared to mFOLFOX6 with or without bevacizumab. The study focuses on the safety and tolerability of these combinations and whether they can help people live longer without their cancer growing or spreading. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive calderasib orally, cetuximab every two weeks, and mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy including oxaliplatin, leucovorin or levofolinate calcium, and 5-fluorouracil every two weeks. The other group will receive mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab every two weeks, based on the investigators decision. Treatments will continue until certain stopping criteria are met. During the study, participants will be monitored for side effects and treatment tolerance, with regular assessments of cancer progression. Researchers will measure outcomes such as dose-limiting toxicities, adverse events, progression-free survival, and overall survival. Quality of life will also be evaluated through questionnaires. The study may last up to several years, with monitoring continuing for safety and effectiveness throughout the treatment period and follow-up.

Researchers are studying KK2260 in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors to evaluate its safety, tolerability, and effectiveness. This is a first-in-human, phase 1 clinical trial that aims to determine the maximum tolerated dose MTD and assess different dosing regimens. The study focuses on patients with various solid tumors, including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. KK2260 will be given intravenously at several dose levels. In Part 1a, the maximum tolerated dose will be identified while monitoring safety. Parts 1b and 2 will test at least two dosing regimens for different cancer types to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of each regimen. The study is open-label, non-randomized in early parts, and randomized in the later part, with participants assigned to different dosing groups. Participants will undergo weekly laboratory tests for blood counts, liver and kidney function, and other measures for about one year. Researchers will monitor adverse events, vital signs, ECG parameters, and performance status regularly. Various outcomes such as dose-limiting toxicity, overall response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival will be tracked during treatment and follow-up. The study includes tumor biopsies before and after treatment. The total duration of involvement may last around one year or more depending on treatment and follow-up.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for metastatic cervical cancer, which is cancer that has spread beyond the cervix, the lower part of the uterus. This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of the antibody drug conjugate sacituzumab tirumotecan sac-TMT combined with pembrolizumab and bevacizumab. The goal is to find out if these treatments, given together or with some variations, help patients live longer or delay cancer progression compared to standard care. The study has two parts. In Part 1, participants receive sac-TMT, pembrolizumab, and bevacizumab together to assess safety. In Part 2, all participants first get standard induction treatment with pembrolizumab, paclitaxel, and cisplatin or carboplatin, possibly with bevacizumab. Those whose cancer does not worsen then enter maintenance treatment, where they are randomly assigned to receive either pembrolizumab alone or sac-TMT plus pembrolizumab, with optional bevacizumab. Participants are involved for up to about 20 months during maintenance treatment after up to 4 months of induction. The study monitors safety by tracking side effects and treatment discontinuations. Effectiveness is measured by progression-free survival and overall survival up to several years. Quality of life and physical functioning are also assessed through questionnaires. Treatments and evaluations occur through regular intravenous infusions and periodic monitoring visits.

Researchers are evaluating new treatments for advanced ovarian cancer in women who have completed initial surgery and chemotherapy. The study focuses on non-HRD positive ovarian cancer, comparing a targeted therapy called sacituzumab tirumotecan sac-TMT given alone or with bevacizumab, against standard care options such as bevacizumab maintenance or observation. The goal is to see if sac-TMT with or without bevacizumab can help patients live longer without their cancer worsening. Participants in the experimental group will receive sac-TMT through intravenous infusion on days 1, 15, and 29 of every 6-week cycle until the cancer progresses, side effects become prohibitive, or other reasons for stopping arise. They may optionally receive bevacizumab on days 1 and 22 of each cycle. The comparator group will either receive bevacizumab alone every 3 weeks for up to 22 courses or be monitored without active treatment. Supportive medications like steroid mouthwash and other rescue drugs are recommended before sac-TMT infusions. Throughout the study, participants will be regularly monitored for how long they live without their disease progressing, overall survival, side effects, and quality of life using specialized questionnaires. These assessments will continue for up to approximately 78 months. The study is randomized, with single masking, and led by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC. Participants can expect regular visits for treatment and monitoring during this period.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer UC, a type of bladder cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery or radiation. This trial evaluates whether sacituzumab tirumotecan sac-TMT, an experimental medicine, can help people with UC who have already been treated with specific therapies live longer compared to those who receive certain non-platinum chemotherapy options. The study is a Phase 3 randomized trial comparing sac-TMT with chemotherapy drugs selected by the investigator. Participants are assigned to one of two groups one receives sacituzumab tirumotecan at a dose of 4 mgkg every two weeks by intravenous infusion until the disease worsens or side effects become unacceptable. The other group receives one of three chemotherapy drugspaclitaxel, docetaxel, or vinflunineby intravenous infusion every three weeks, also until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Rescue medications may be given as needed to manage side effects according to approved guidelines. During the study, participants undergo assessments of overall survival up to about 40 months, along with other measures such as progression-free survival, response rates, duration of response, and quality of life evaluations using questionnaires. Safety is monitored by recording adverse events and treatment discontinuations. The total study participation may last several years, with regular evaluations to understand the effects and tolerability of the treatments.

Participants undergo assessments for disease status and overall health throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating a new form of hormone therapy called ASP5541 for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. This phase 2 study compares ASP5541 given by injection with the standard abiraterone acetate tablets, both combined with a steroid called prednisone or prednisolone. The study aims to assess how well ASP5541 works and its safety in men who have not previously been treated with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors, including specific evaluation in Japanese men. Participants are divided into three groups based on their cancer type and treatment history. ASP5541 is given as a muscle injection every 12 weeks, while abiraterone acetate is taken as a daily tablet. Men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer take prednisone or prednisolone twice daily, and men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer take it once daily. All groups also receive standard care such as androgen deprivation therapy. Some participants will monitor blood pressure at home weekly. During the study, men visit the clinic regularly for health checks, safety monitoring, and scans to observe any changes in their cancer. The frequency and type of visits depend on each participants health and treatment stage. Researchers will measure prostate-specific antigen PSA levels, adverse events, physical exams, ECGs, and performance status to evaluate treatment effects and safety. The study may last up to about 3 years for some outcomes, with longer follow-up for certain measures.
