Researchers are investigating new treatment options for breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive HR and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative HER2-, specifically for cases that are unresectable locally advanced or metastatic. This type of breast cancer involves cancer cells that depend on hormones like estrogen or progesterone and have low HER2 protein levels. The study focuses on comparing the effects of patritumab deruxtecan against chemotherapy or trastuzumab deruxtecan in patients whose cancer has progressed despite prior treatments. Participants receive either patritumab deruxtecan through intravenous infusions every three weeks for about 13 months or a treatment chosen by their physician, which may include various chemotherapy drugs or trastuzumab deruxtecan, administered according to specific schedules for up to 13 months. The study is randomized and open-label, meaning participants are randomly assigned to one of the treatment groups, and both the patients and researchers know which treatment is given. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular assessments to monitor cancer progression and overall survival for up to approximately 85 months. Researchers evaluate tumor response, duration of response, and changes in quality of life using standardized questionnaires. Safety is carefully monitored by recording adverse events and treatment discontinuations. The goal is to understand if patritumab deruxtecan can improve outcomes compared to current treatment options.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for high-risk, early-stage breast cancer, specifically targeting two types triple-negative breast cancer TNBC and hormone receptor-low positiveHER2-negative breast cancer. These cancers are characterized by low or no HER2 protein and low hormone receptor presence. The study aims to evaluate if adding sacituzumab tirumotecan sac-TMT to pembrolizumab and chemotherapy can better reduce cancer cells in tumors and lymph nodes and improve the length of time patients live without cancer progression compared to pembrolizumab with chemotherapy alone. Participants in this trial receive one of two treatment plans. One group gets sacituzumab tirumotecan intravenously every two weeks plus pembrolizumab every three weeks for 12 weeks, followed by pembrolizumab with carboplatin and paclitaxel for another 12 weeks. After 3 to 6 weeks, surgery and optional radiation therapy take place, followed by pembrolizumab for about 28 weeks. Participants with remaining disease may receive additional treatments chosen by their doctors, including olaparib, capecitabine, doxorubicin, epirubicin, or cyclophosphamide. The other group receives chemotherapy drugs carboplatin and paclitaxel with pembrolizumab initially, then pembrolizumab with cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin or epirubicin, followed by surgery, optional radiation, and pembrolizumab for about 28 weeks, with similar additional options for residual disease. During the study, participants undergo core needle biopsies, receive intravenous infusions of study drugs, and have surgery and possible radiation therapy. Researchers assess outcomes such as the percentage of participants with no detectable cancer cells at surgery pathological complete response, event-free survival up to about 92 months, and overall survival up to nearly 10 years. Quality of life and side effects are monitored through questionnaires and adverse event tracking. The study lasts several years, with various assessments throughout treatment and follow-up periods to gather comprehensive data on treatment effects and safety.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for people with high-risk, localized non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has been completely removed by surgery. The study aims to find out if giving one or two specific treatments after surgery can help prevent the cancer from returning. This Phase 3 trial focuses on participants with Stage I NSCLC who have certain high-risk features. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three groups one group receives intismeran combined with pembrolizumab coformulated with berahyaluronidase alfa, another group receives intismeran alone, and a third group receives a placebo. Intismeran is given as an intramuscular injection, while pembrolizumab with berahyaluronidase alfa is administered subcutaneously. The trial compares disease-free survival among these groups over an extended period. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored regularly with health assessments and questionnaires to evaluate quality of life and physical functioning. Researchers will track how long participants remain free from cancer and observe any side effects or adverse events. The study may last up to several years, with ongoing safety and outcome evaluations to better understand the treatments impact.
