This research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of zilovertamab vedotin (ZV) combined with standard treatments for participants with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (rrDLBCL). It is a Phase 2/3, randomized, open-label, multisite study including participants aged 18 and older. The study tests two main hypotheses: that ZV combined with rituximab, gemcitabine, and oxaliplatin (R-GemOx) is better than R-GemOx alone for progression-free survival; and that ZV combined with bendamustine rituximab (BR) is better than BR alone. However, enrollment in the BR and ZV + BR arms is discontinued, so no outcome analysis will be done for those groups. The study is split into two parts: Part 1 confirms the dose of ZV, and Part 2 expands to evaluate its efficacy. Participants receive intravenous infusions of ZV at various doses, along with standard drugs including rituximab, gemcitabine, oxaliplatin, and bendamustine as appropriate. Prophylactic granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is given with each ZV cycle according to institutional guidelines. Treatment schedules and doses are carefully managed to assess safety and treatment effects. During the study, participants will be monitored for dose-limiting toxicities up to about 6 weeks, and adverse events for up to approximately 68 months. Researchers will also track treatment discontinuations due to adverse events. Key outcomes include overall survival and progression-free survival up to about 35 months. Participants will have regular assessments including scans, clinical evaluations, and laboratory tests to measure response and monitor safety throughout their participation.

Researchers are evaluating whether adding zilovertamab vedotin to standard treatment helps people with previously untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) live longer without their cancer growing or spreading. This Phase 3 study compares zilovertamab vedotin combined with rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (R-CHP) against the standard regimen of rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP). The goal is to see if the new combination improves progression-free survival. Participants receive treatments through intravenous infusions of study drugs including zilovertamab vedotin, rituximab or its biosimilar, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and vincristine, along with oral prednisone or prednisolone as per approved guidelines. Some may receive rescue medication such as granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) if needed. The study is open-label and conducted across multiple centers. During the study, participants are closely monitored for how long they live without their disease worsening, with follow-up up to approximately 50 months. Assessments include imaging scans like PET to evaluate disease status, heart function tests, and regular evaluations of overall health and side effects. Safety is monitored throughout, and researchers measure progression-free survival as the primary outcome to determine the effectiveness of the treatments.

Researchers are evaluating a phase 3 study of pembrolizumab combined with carboplatin and a taxane (paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel) followed by pembrolizumab with or without maintenance sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT) in adults with metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer. The study aims to determine if adding sac-TMT maintenance to pembrolizumab improves overall survival compared to pembrolizumab alone. Participants have confirmed stage IV squamous NSCLC and measurable disease. All participants first receive an induction phase of four cycles lasting 21 days each. During induction, they receive pembrolizumab every 3 weeks plus carboplatin every 3 weeks, along with either paclitaxel every 3 weeks or weekly nab-paclitaxel. After induction, participants are randomly assigned to continue pembrolizumab maintenance alone or pembrolizumab combined with sac-TMT maintenance. Treatments are given by intravenous infusion. Participants undergo scans to measure tumor response and are monitored for side effects and overall health. Researchers assess overall survival up to about 50 months. Organ function, adverse events, and performance status are regularly evaluated before and during the study. The study includes safety monitoring and follows participants through their treatment and maintenance phases.
