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.

This research aims to gather long-term safety and effectiveness information for people treated with ibrutinib, a medicine taken by mouth that blocks a specific enzyme called brutons tyrosine kinase. The study focuses on participants who previously took part in ibrutinib studies that have finished and are still receiving ibrutinib treatment, continuing to benefit from it. It is an open-label study, meaning both participants and researchers know the treatment being given. Participants will continue taking ibrutinib capsules daily at the dose they were given in their prior study until the doctor decides the treatment is no longer helpful due to disease progression or side effects, the participant chooses to stop, other treatment options become available, or the study ends. Safety will be monitored throughout, and effectiveness data may be combined with previous study results. No formal testing of hypotheses is planned in this extension. During the study, participants will be regularly monitored for safety and disease status. The main outcome is the number of participants experiencing side effects within 30 days after the last ibrutinib dose or before starting another cancer therapy. Participants may continue treatment until alternative access to ibrutinib is arranged or the study ends, which is planned for December 2029. Researchers will collect ongoing data to understand the long-term effects of ibrutinib treatment.

Researchers are evaluating HLX22 combined with trastuzumab and chemotherapy as a first-line treatment for patients with HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the gastric or gastroesophageal junction. This phase 3, randomized, double-blind study compares this combination against trastuzumab plus chemotherapy with or without pembrolizumab. The trial aims to assess the efficacy and safety of adding HLX22 in this patient population. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 11 ratio to either the experimental group receiving HLX22 15 mgkg plus trastuzumab and chemotherapy XELOX with or without a placebo for pembrolizumab every three weeks, or the control group receiving placebo for HLX22 plus trastuzumab and chemotherapy XELOX with or without pembrolizumab also every three weeks. Treatment continues until clinical benefit is lost, intolerable side effects occur, death, withdrawal, or other protocol-specified reasons. Throughout the study, participants will have their disease progression monitored by an independent radiology review committee using RECIST v1.1 criteria for up to five years, along with overall survival and response rates. Safety will be regularly assessed by tracking adverse events. The study includes multiple assessments to evaluate treatment effects, and participants will be followed for long-term outcomes during the trial period.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of a triple therapy inhaler combining budesonide, glycopyrronium, and formoterol fumarate BGF MDI 32014.49.6 g compared to a dual therapy inhaler with glycopyrronium and formoterol fumarate GFF MDI 14.49.6 g on heart and lung outcomes in adults with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease COPD who have a higher risk for heart and lung events. This Phase III study is randomized, double-blind, and conducted at multiple centers, focusing on participants with COPD and elevated cardiopulmonary risk. Participants will receive either the triple therapy inhaler or the dual therapy inhaler, both administered twice daily. The study compares these two inhalers over a period of up to three years, monitoring for serious cardiac or COPD events. The trial includes careful evaluation of various heart and lung-related health events during this period. During the study, participants will be closely monitored through regular visits, assessments, and tests to measure lung function, heart events, and COPD exacerbations. Researchers will track the time until the first severe cardiac or COPD event and evaluate other cardiovascular and respiratory outcomes over up to three years. Participants will also be assessed for their ability to properly use the inhaler and adherence to the study protocol throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating nemtabrutinib compared with investigators choice of ibrutinib or acalabrutinib in adults with untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia CLL or small lymphocytic lymphoma SLL. The study aims to assess whether nemtabrutinib is not worse than these comparators in terms of objective response rate and whether it can provide longer progression-free survival. This is a Phase 3 randomized clinical trial sponsored by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC. Participants will receive either nemtabrutinib, ibrutinib, or acalabrutinib orally at specified doses until their disease progresses, unacceptable side effects occur, or other discontinuation criteria are met. The trial uses a parallel-group design where participants are randomly assigned to one of the treatment groups, and no masking is involved. Both treatment arms continue until progression or intolerance. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly up to about 33 months for response rate and up to about 104 months for progression-free survival and overall survival. Assessments include clinical evaluations, safety monitoring for adverse events, and duration of response measurements. The study tracks treatment tolerability, discontinuations due to adverse events, and overall outcomes to better understand the therapies effects in this patient population.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of zilovertamab vedotin ZV combined with standard treatments for people with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma rrDLBCL. This Phase 23 study is divided into two parts Dose Confirmation and Efficacy Expansion. It aims to compare ZV combined with rituximab, gemcitabine, and oxaliplatin R-GemOx against R-GemOx alone, and ZV combined with bendamustine rituximab BR against BR alone, focusing on progression-free survival. Enrollment in the BR-related arms has been discontinued with no analysis planned for those arms.

Researchers are evaluating MB12, a proposed pembrolizumab biosimilar, compared to Keytruda in combination with pemetrexed-platinum chemotherapy as the first treatment for patients with advanced metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC. This randomized, double-blind, multicenter study aims to compare the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, safety, and immune response of MB12 and Keytruda in this patient population. Participants will be assigned to one of three groups MB12 with pemetrexed and carboplatin or cisplatin, European Union-sourced Keytruda with the same chemotherapy, or US-sourced Keytruda with the same chemotherapy. MB12 and Keytruda are given intravenously at 200mg every three weeks on Day 1. Pemetrexed is given at 500 mgm2 IV every three weeks on Day 1, while carboplatin or cisplatin is administered every three weeks for four cycles. During the study, participants will be monitored from Week 1 to Week 52 for drug levels in the body, treatment effectiveness, safety, and immune response. Key assessments include measuring pharmacokinetic bioequivalence and efficacy equivalence within the first 24 weeks, along with longer-term safety and immune monitoring. The study is led by mAbxience Research S.L. and is expected to continue until September 2027.

This research aims to evaluate whether administering XEMBIFY every two weeks alongside Standard Medical Treatment SMT over a one-year period can reduce the number of major bacterial infections each year in adults with low antibody levels hypogammaglobulinemia who have B-cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia CLL, Multiple Myeloma MM, or Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma NHL. The study compares this treatment to a placebo plus SMT to determine its impact on infection rates. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives a loading dose of XEMBIFY subcutaneously at 150 mgkgday for five consecutive days starting in Week 1, followed by biweekly doses of 300 mgkg until Week 51. The other group receives a placebo injection on the same schedule. Both groups continue to receive the standard medical treatments and supportive care they require throughout the study. During the study, participants will have regular assessments including monitoring the frequency of infections, hospitalizations, and antibiotic use. Researchers will measure the annual rate of major bacterial infections and track the time to first infection among other outcomes up to Week 51. Participants are observed closely throughout the treatment year to evaluate safety and effectiveness, with the entire study lasting approximately one year per participant.

This trial investigates the effectiveness and safety of two treatment combinations for people with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received one to three prior treatments and were previously treated with lenalidomide. It compares mezigdomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone MeziVd against pomalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone PVd to see which is better for this condition. The study is a Phase 3, randomized, open-label trial sponsored by Celgene. Participants receive either the MeziVd combination or the PVd combination, with specified doses given on certain days according to the study plan. These treatments are given as drugs, and participants are randomly assigned to one of these two groups to compare their effects. The study will continue for up to approximately five years to evaluate long-term outcomes. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly through various assessments including measuring disease progression, survival, response to treatment, and quality of life using specific questionnaires EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-MY20. Blood samples may be checked for drug levels, and adverse events will be tracked. The main focus is progression-free survival, measured from randomization until disease worsening or death. Participants health and responses will be followed for up to five years, with ongoing visits and evaluations throughout this period.
