Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab monotherapy as the first-line treatment for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer mNSCLC whose tumors express high levels of PD-L1. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, multicenter global study focuses on patients with mNSCLC without certain genetic mutations who are suitable for this treatment approach. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. The study compares these two drugs over repeated treatment cycles as first-line therapy. Both treatments are biological agents given by infusion, and the study is designed to monitor their effects over up to approximately five years. During the trial, participants will undergo regular assessments including physical exams, imaging scans such as CT or MRI to measure tumor lesions, and laboratory tests to evaluate organ function. Researchers will closely monitor overall survival, progression-free survival, treatment response, duration of response, and patient-reported outcomes on physical functioning and quality of life. Safety and immunogenicity of rilvegostomig will also be evaluated. Participants are followed and assessed for up to five years to gather comprehensive data on treatment effects and long-term outcomes.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of volrustomig compared to observation in participants with unresected locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma LA-HNSCC who have not progressed after receiving definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy cCRT. This phase III, randomized, open-label global study aims to assess whether volrustomig can improve outcomes in this patient population. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups those who receive volrustomig as sequential therapy, and those who undergo observation without additional treatment. The study compares these two approaches following prior curative concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The trial includes long-term follow-up to monitor patient outcomes. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed for progression-free survival, overall survival, physical functioning, and quality of life. Researchers will also monitor for the presence of anti-drug antibodies and adverse events related to volrustomig. Follow-up evaluations may continue for up to approximately eight years to fully understand the treatment impact and safety profile.

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 whether combining pelabresib with ruxolitinib improves clinical outcomes compared to ruxolitinib alone in adults with primary myelofibrosis PMF, post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis PPV-MF, or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis PET-MF who have not previously been treated with Janus kinase JAK inhibitors. This Phase 3 trial focuses on participants with intermediate or high-risk disease and assesses symptom burden and spleen size among other clinical measures. Participants begin with a screening period lasting up to 28 days to confirm eligibility and complete baseline tests. During the treatment phase, they are randomly assigned to receive either pelabresib orally once daily for 14 days of each 21-day cycle plus continuous ruxolitinib twice daily, or a matching placebo plus ruxolitinib. Treatment continues until unacceptable side effects, disease progression, or withdrawal. After treatment, a 30-day safety follow-up monitors for late side effects. Participants who have not experienced disease progression enter an efficacy follow-up with visits every 12 weeks for ongoing assessments including spleen imaging, lab tests, and bone marrow biopsies. Those with progression or new therapy start survival follow-up visits every 12 weeks, which may be remote, to monitor overall survival and disease status. The study includes comprehensive symptom scoring and spleen response evaluations over approximately three years.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of new drug combinations, including rilvegostomig with standard platinum-based chemotherapy, with or without ramucirumab, for treating advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC. This study is open-label and multicenter, involving participants with confirmed stage IV NSCLC. It includes a sub-study with safety run-in and expansion parts to find the best dose and assess treatment activity. Participants receive treatments infused intravenously, including rilvegostomig, ramucirumab, and chemotherapy drugs like cisplatin, carboplatin, pemetrexed, paclitaxel, or nab-paclitaxel. Non-squamous NSCLC participants are randomly assigned to either rilvegostomig plus chemotherapy with ramucirumab or rilvegostomig plus chemotherapy alone, while squamous NSCLC participants receive rilvegostomig plus chemotherapy and ramucirumab. The study includes initial safety evaluation and dose expansion phases. During the study, participants undergo tumor tissue collection, disease measurements, and regular assessments of side effects, tumor response, and survival. Researchers monitor blood samples for drug levels and antibodies and track progression and overall survival over approximately 46 months. Safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor effects are closely followed throughout the treatment and observation periods.

Researchers are evaluating Mim8, a new medicine designed to help people with haemophilia A, including those with or without inhibitors. Mim8 aims to prevent bleeding episodes by replacing the function of the missing clotting factor VIII. This long-term study will last up to 5.5 years, ending either when Mim8 is approved in the participants country or by June 2028, whichever comes first. The study includes participants who have been involved in earlier related studies or are new infants with severe haemophilia A. Participants will receive Mim8 as a preventive treatment through subcutaneous injections. Depending on their entry point, participants may use an enhanced cartridge or a DV3407 pen-injector device for administering Mim8. The treatment is given regularly over the study period, with participants potentially receiving up to 262 injections. In the event of bleeding, additional haemostatic medications may be used as agreed with the study doctor. Female participants who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy during the study are not eligible. During the study, participants will be monitored for any side effects, including injection site reactions and the development of antibodies against Mim8. Researchers will also track bleeding episodes, Mim8 blood levels, and device handling for some participants. Participants and their representatives will complete diaries and questionnaires about their treatment and health. Safety will be carefully followed throughout the study, which may last several years depending on individual enrollment and study progress.

Researchers are evaluating the addition of Saruparib AZD5305 to standard radiation therapy RT and androgen deprivation therapy ADT for men with high-risk or very high-risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer who have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. The study aims to determine if Saruparib improves metastases-free survival compared to placebo when added to these treatments. This phase 3 trial involves approximately 700 adult male participants. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either Saruparib or a matching placebo alongside physicians choice of ADT, with or without abiraterone and prednisoneprednisolone, depending on their cohort. Cohort A includes those receiving RT and continuous ADT, while Cohort B includes participants receiving RT, ADT, and abiraterone. Saruparib and placebo are administered orally. Treatment continues with close monitoring throughout the study. Participants will undergo scans including CT or MRI, bone scans, and PSMA-PET after their planned RT to confirm eligibility and monitor disease status. They will be followed for survival and disease progression for up to approximately 11 years. Researchers will assess metastasis-free survival, overall survival, prostate cancer-specific survival, biochemical recurrence, physical function, and urinary symptoms. Safety and drug levels will also be monitored. An independent committee will review safety and efficacy regularly throughout the trial.
