Researchers are evaluating new treatments for advanced renal cell carcinoma RCC, a type of kidney cancer. This study compares the effects of combining two targeted therapies, belzutifan and zanzalintinib, against belzutifan with a placebo. The goal is to see if the combination can help people live longer and prevent the cancer from getting worse after other treatments have failed. Participants will take 120 mg of belzutifan orally and either 60 mg of zanzalintinib or a matching placebo once daily for about 24 months. The study is randomized and double-blind, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives the active combination or placebo. Two groups are compared belzutifan plus zanzalintinib and belzutifan plus placebo. During the study, participants will be monitored for progression-free survival and overall survival, with assessments up to around 30 to 50 months. Researchers will also evaluate tumor response, duration of response, quality of life, and side effects. Safety and tolerability will be tracked throughout treatment and follow-up periods. The study is sponsored by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC and aims to provide important information on treating advanced RCC.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for advanced renal cell carcinoma RCC that has returned after prior therapy. The study aims to find out if the combination of belzutifan and zanzalintinib can help people with recurrent advanced RCC live longer without their cancer worsening compared to the drug cabozantinib. This is a phase 3 randomized trial evaluating these treatments in participants who have experienced recurrence during or after prior anti-PD-1L1 therapy. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either belzutifan plus zanzalintinib taken orally once daily or cabozantinib taken orally once daily. They continue their assigned treatment until certain reasons require stopping the study intervention. The study compares the effects of these treatments on cancer progression and survival among people with advanced RCC who have had disease recurrence after adjuvant therapy. During the study, participants will be regularly monitored for progression-free survival and overall survival for up to about 73 months. Researchers will also assess tumor response, duration of response, adverse events, and quality of life using questionnaires over approximately 25 months. The study involves ongoing evaluations to understand how these treatments affect symptoms, functioning, and overall health during long-term follow-up.

Researchers are studying metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer mCRPC to find new treatment options. This trial evaluates if the study medicine ifinatamab deruxtecan I-DXd or MK-2400 helps people live longer overall and experience slower cancer growth or spread compared to chemotherapy. The study is a Phase 3 trial comparing I-DXd with standard chemotherapy for mCRPC patients. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either I-DXd at 12 mgkg every 3 weeks through intravenous infusion or docetaxel chemotherapy at 75 mgm2 every 3 weeks combined with daily prednisone pills. Treatment continues until the disease progresses, unacceptable side effects occur, or treatment is stopped for other reasons. Premedication is given before each dose of I-DXd to help prevent nausea and vomiting. During the study, participants will have regular visits for treatment and monitoring. Researchers will assess overall survival and radiographic progression-free survival for up to about 36 months. Additional measures include response rates, time to pain progression, PSA progression, and adverse events. The study tracks safety, treatment effects, and quality of life over a long follow-up period to better understand the potential benefits and risks of I-DXd compared to chemotherapy.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for metastatic cervical cancer, which is cancer that has spread beyond the cervix, the lower part of the uterus. This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of the antibody drug conjugate sacituzumab tirumotecan sac-TMT combined with pembrolizumab and bevacizumab. The goal is to find out if these treatments, given together or with some variations, help patients live longer or delay cancer progression compared to standard care. The study has two parts. In Part 1, participants receive sac-TMT, pembrolizumab, and bevacizumab together to assess safety. In Part 2, all participants first get standard induction treatment with pembrolizumab, paclitaxel, and cisplatin or carboplatin, possibly with bevacizumab. Those whose cancer does not worsen then enter maintenance treatment, where they are randomly assigned to receive either pembrolizumab alone or sac-TMT plus pembrolizumab, with optional bevacizumab. Participants are involved for up to about 20 months during maintenance treatment after up to 4 months of induction. The study monitors safety by tracking side effects and treatment discontinuations. Effectiveness is measured by progression-free survival and overall survival up to several years. Quality of life and physical functioning are also assessed through questionnaires. Treatments and evaluations occur through regular intravenous infusions and periodic monitoring visits.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of an investigational drug called BNT323 also known as DB-1303 compared with standard chemotherapy in women with recurrent endometrial cancer. The study includes two groups based on the level of HER2 protein in the tumor Cohort 1 with HER2 levels 1 or 2 who have been previously treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors, and Cohort 2 with HER2 level 3. The study aims to understand how well BNT323 or chemotherapy controls cancer progression and how the drug affects patients immune response and quality of life. Participants in Cohort 1 will be randomly assigned to receive either BNT323 or chemotherapy drugs such as doxorubicin, paclitaxel, or docetaxel. In Cohort 2, participants will receive BNT323 alone. Treatments are given intravenously and continue until the cancer progresses, unacceptable side effects occur, or consent is withdrawn. The study includes screening, treatment, safety follow-up, efficacy follow-up, and a long-term survival follow-up lasting up to about 53 months. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including tumor evaluations, safety monitoring, and quality of life questionnaires. Researchers will measure progression-free survival in Cohort 1 and tumor response rate in Cohort 2. Safety is monitored by tracking adverse effects and drug levels in the body. Participants can expect to be followed for up to 53 months after treatment to assess long-term outcomes and survival.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of enicepatide, a dual GLP-1GIP receptor agonist, at multiple doses compared with placebo for weight management in adults with obesity or overweight and type 2 diabetes mellitus T2DM. This Phase III study aims to better understand how enicepatide affects body weight and other health measures in this population. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either placebo or one of three dosing regimens of enicepatide, administered once weekly using an integrated drug-device combination product. The study lasts for 72 weeks, during which participants will self-administer the study drug or receive injections from a trained individual if needed. Throughout the study, participants will undergo various assessments including body weight, hemoglobin A1c, waist circumference, fasting glucose and insulin, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and quality of life questionnaires. Safety will be monitored through adverse event reporting and specific rating scales. This comprehensive evaluation will help determine the effects of enicepatide on weight and diabetes management over the study period.

Researchers are evaluating new treatments for advanced ovarian cancer in women who have completed initial surgery and chemotherapy. The study focuses on non-HRD positive ovarian cancer, comparing a targeted therapy called sacituzumab tirumotecan sac-TMT given alone or with bevacizumab, against standard care options such as bevacizumab maintenance or observation. The goal is to see if sac-TMT with or without bevacizumab can help patients live longer without their cancer worsening. Participants in the experimental group will receive sac-TMT through intravenous infusion on days 1, 15, and 29 of every 6-week cycle until the cancer progresses, side effects become prohibitive, or other reasons for stopping arise. They may optionally receive bevacizumab on days 1 and 22 of each cycle. The comparator group will either receive bevacizumab alone every 3 weeks for up to 22 courses or be monitored without active treatment. Supportive medications like steroid mouthwash and other rescue drugs are recommended before sac-TMT infusions. Throughout the study, participants will be regularly monitored for how long they live without their disease progressing, overall survival, side effects, and quality of life using specialized questionnaires. These assessments will continue for up to approximately 78 months. The study is randomized, with single masking, and led by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC. Participants can expect regular visits for treatment and monitoring during this period.

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 investigating new treatments for adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis or Crohns disease under a master protocol called Study IIBD. This Phase 2 trial evaluates multiple drugs to understand their safety and effectiveness in managing these conditions. Participants will be assigned to specific sub-studies and randomized to treatment groups, with the study lasting at least 62 weeks. The study includes two treatment periods. In the first period, participants may receive mirikizumab intravenously, or a combination of the oral drug LY4395089 with intravenous mirikizumab. Those who respond to treatment will then enter a second period where they receive mirikizumab through subcutaneous injections. These steps allow researchers to assess different dosing methods and combinations of these drugs. Participants will be monitored regularly throughout the study, including screening tests and laboratory evaluations to ensure eligibility and safety. Researchers will track the number of participants allocated to each treatment group up to day 42 as a primary outcome. The study involves randomization without masking and continues until at least 62 weeks, with ongoing assessments to evaluate treatment effects and monitor health outcomes.
