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 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.

Safety will be closely tracked by recording adverse events and measuring drug levels in the blood. The study may last up to approximately 54 months for each participant, with regular assessments including imaging scans and laboratory tests to follow the disease and treatment effects.

Researchers are evaluating nipocalimab, a drug given intravenously or subcutaneously, for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis gMG, a condition causing muscle weakness. This Phase 3 study aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of nipocalimab against a placebo and to understand how the drug works in the body when given by injection under the skin versus through a vein. The study includes a subcutaneous substudy to explore these differences in delivery methods. Participants receive nipocalimab intravenous infusions every two weeks for up to 24 weeks during a double-blind placebo-controlled phase. Those completing this phase can enter an open-label extension, choosing to continue receiving intravenous nipocalimab or switch to the subcutaneous form given weekly for eight weeks, with the option to continue longer in a long-term extension. Placebo is also given intravenously every two weeks in the control group during the double-blind phase. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular assessments including muscle function scores, quality of life evaluations, and blood tests measuring antibody levels and drug concentration. Researchers monitor safety by tracking adverse events and changes in clinical and laboratory parameters. The study measures changes in activities of daily living related to myasthenia gravis over time. Participation may last several years, as long-term monitoring continues after the initial treatment phases to evaluate ongoing effects and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of opevesostat combined with daily corticosteroids compared to alternative treatments abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide in participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer mCRPC who have previously been treated with one next-generation hormonal agent NHA. The study aims to determine if opevesostat offers better control of disease progression assessed by radiographic progression-free survival, including participants with and without androgen receptor ligand binding domain mutations. Overall survival has also been included as a secondary outcome measure. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives opevesostat 5 mg orally twice daily, plus dexamethasone 1.5 mg and fludrocortisone acetate 0.1 mg orally once daily, continuing until disease progression. Hydrocortisone is available as a rescue medication if needed. The other group receives either abiraterone 1000 mg once daily with prednisone 5 mg twice daily or enzalutamide 160 mg once daily, also until disease progression. This open-label, phase 3 study compares these two treatment approaches in a parallel design. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including imaging scans to measure disease progression, safety monitoring, and evaluations of overall survival and quality of life. Researchers track radiographic progression-free survival for up to 52 months and secondary outcomes such as overall survival, time to new treatments, pain progression, and prostate-specific antigen PSA responses for up to approximately 82 months. Participants are closely monitored for adverse events and treatment tolerability throughout the study duration, which spans several years.

Researchers are evaluating whether combining tucatinib with trastuzumab and mFOLFOX6 works better than standard treatments for people with HER2 positive colorectal cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. This Phase 3 study also aims to learn about the side effects that may occur when taking this combination of drugs. Participants have metastatic or unresectable colorectal cancer and are randomly assigned to different treatment groups. Participants are randomly placed in one of two study groups. One group receives tucatinib taken orally twice daily along with trastuzumab given intravenously every 3 weeks and mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy every 2 weeks. The other group receives standard care, which may be mFOLFOX6 alone or combined with bevacizumab or cetuximab, both given intravenously on different schedules. Tissue samples and biopsies are collected before treatment to confirm HER2 positivity and other markers. During the study, participants will have regular evaluations including imaging scans to measure cancer progression, blood tests, and assessments of side effects and quality of life. Progression-free survival is the primary outcome measured for up to about 3 years, with other outcomes like overall survival and response rate also tracked. Safety monitoring continues for about one year after the last treatment. The study lasts several years, with ongoing follow-up to understand long-term effects and benefits.
