Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab, both combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, as a first-line treatment for patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC whose tumors express PD-L1 at levels of 1% or higher. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, global study aims to compare these treatments to improve outcomes for this patient group. Participants will receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab, each given intravenously on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle, combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy either carboplatin or cisplatin also given on Day 1 of each cycle for up to four cycles. After chemotherapy cycles, patients continue with rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab monotherapy combined with pemetrexed maintenance. The study follows patients for up to approximately six years to monitor treatment effects and safety. During the study, participants undergo assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor size, blood tests to evaluate organ function, and questionnaires about symptoms and quality of life. Researchers monitor overall survival and progression-free survival as primary outcomes, alongside other measures such as response duration and physical functioning. Safety is closely observed throughout, with study visits scheduled regularly during treatment and follow-up periods, lasting up to six years in total.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of rilvegostomig combined with platinum-based chemotherapy compared to pembrolizumab combined with platinum-based chemotherapy as a first treatment for patients with locally advanced or metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer mNSCLC whose tumors express programmed death-ligand 1 PD-L1. This Phase III global study focuses on patients with PD-L1 tumor cell expression of 1% or higher and aims to determine which treatment provides better overall and progression-free survival. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two study groups one group will receive rilvegostomig plus carboplatin and either paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy, while the other group will receive pembrolizumab plus the same chemotherapy options. Rilvegostomig and pembrolizumab are both given intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, with chemotherapy given up to 4 cycles. Nab-paclitaxel may be administered on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle. Treatment continues with rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab until disease progression or other criteria are met. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor response, laboratory tests to monitor organ function, and patient questionnaires about physical function and quality of life. Researchers will track overall survival, progression-free survival, response rates, and duration of response for up to approximately 6 years. Safety and immune response to rilvegostomig will also be evaluated. Participants will be closely monitored throughout the treatment and follow-up periods.

Researchers are evaluating a potential new medicine called CDR132L to understand its effects on the structure and function of the heart in people living with heart failure. The study focuses on participants with heart failure who have reduced or mildly reduced ejection fraction and left ventricular hypertrophy. This research is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial aiming to assess safety and efficacy in this population. Participants will receive an intravenous infusion of either CDR132L or a placebo once every four weeks for 48 weeks. Alongside this, all participants will continue their individually tailored guideline-directed standard of care therapy for heart failure. The studys main phase covers these 48 weeks of treatment, followed by monitoring adverse events up to week 60. During the approximately 60-week study, participants undergo evaluations including echocardiography and blood tests measuring biomarkers like microRNA-132-3p and NT-proBNP. Researchers will track changes in heart structure and function, adverse events, and safety throughout the study. The primary outcome focuses on changes in normalized microRNA-132-3p levels from baseline to week 24, while secondary outcomes include measures of heart volume and biomarkers, plus adverse event counts.

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of zanidatamab combined with a physicians choice of chemotherapy compared to trastuzumab combined with chemotherapy in treating adults with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who have either progressed on or cannot tolerate previous trastuzumab deruxtecan T-DXd treatment. Zanidatamab has shown promising results against various HER2-positive advanced tumors, including metastatic breast cancer, and may serve as a potential treatment option for these patients. The study also investigates patient-reported tolerability and physical functioning, as well as the pharmacokinetics and immune response to zanidatamab with chemotherapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either zanidatamab or trastuzumab, each given by intravenous infusion alongside one of several chemotherapy options chosen by the physician eribulin, vinorelbine, gemcitabine, or capecitabine the latter is taken orally. Treatment will be administered according to the assigned group, and the study is open-label and multicenter, designed to compare these two treatment combinations in this patient population. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments to monitor disease progression using imaging criteria RECIST version 1.1, evaluate survival, treatment response, and duration of response. Safety and side effects will be tracked through adverse event reporting and patient questionnaires on symptoms and physical function. Blood samples will be collected to study drug levels and immune reactions. Participants will be followed until disease progression, death, or for up to approximately 44 months for key outcomes, with overall survival monitored for up to about 80 months.

Researchers are evaluating treatments for participants with KRASNRAS and BRAF wild-type recurrent, unresectable, or metastatic colorectal cancer who have previously received chemotherapy. The study compares how long participants remain free of disease progression and the overall survival time when treated with amivantamab plus chemotherapy versus cetuximab or bevacizumab plus chemotherapy. This Phase 3 trial focuses on patients who have already undergone prior chemotherapy for their cancer. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives amivantamab combined with the chemotherapy regimen FOLFIRI, which includes 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium or levoleucovorin, and irinotecan. The other group receives either cetuximab or bevacizumab combined with the same chemotherapy regimen FOLFIRI. Treatments are given in 28-day cycles and continue until the cancer progresses or other criteria require stopping treatment. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments to monitor disease status, including imaging scans reviewed by independent experts. Researchers measure progression-free survival and overall survival over periods up to several years. Additional outcomes include response rates, duration of response, quality of life assessments, and side effects. Safety and laboratory evaluations are conducted throughout the study, which spans up to four years and four months in total duration.
