This research aims to evaluate the effects of litifilimab (BIIB059), a monoclonal antibody, in adults with active subacute or chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE), with or without systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Participants have active skin symptoms of CLE that have not improved with antimalarial therapy or had difficulties continuing that treatment. The study focuses on reducing skin disease activity using several scores including CLA-IGA-R and CLASI, while also assessing safety, immune response, and quality of life. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either litifilimab or a placebo injection under the skin every four weeks during a 24-week double-blind period where neither participants nor researchers know which treatment is given. After this, all participants will receive litifilimab injections every four weeks for an additional 28 weeks. Those who complete the treatment may join a long-term extension study or enter a follow-up safety period lasting up to 24 weeks. Total participation may last up to 80 weeks. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor skin disease activity using the CLA-IGA-R erythema score and the CLASI-A activity score to see how many participants improve. They will also assess safety, tolerability, immune system effects, and participants' quality of life using questionnaires. These evaluations occur regularly during both treatment periods and follow-up to understand the impact of litifilimab on CLE symptoms and overall health.

Researchers are studying whether combining calderasib, a targeted therapy for the KRAS G12C mutation, with subcutaneous pembrolizumab can treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study aims to determine if people receiving calderasib with pembrolizumab live longer without their cancer growing or spreading compared to those receiving pembrolizumab with chemotherapy. This is a phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter clinical trial focusing on participants with advanced or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC carrying the KRAS G12C mutation. Participants will receive one of two treatment combinations. One group will take calderasib orally along with subcutaneous pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa injections. The other group will receive subcutaneous pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy drugs pemetrexed and a platinum-based drug, either carboplatin or cisplatin, administered by intravenous infusion. These treatments are given as first-line therapy, and the study evaluates their safety and effectiveness. During the study, researchers will monitor participants for progression-free survival, especially focusing on those with at least 1% PD-L1 tumor proportion score, for up to approximately 48 months. Participants will undergo regular assessments to track cancer progression and response to treatment. Safety and efficacy data will be collected throughout the study to understand how well the treatments work and their side effects over time.

Researchers are evaluating new treatment options for adults with locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery and has a specific KRAS G12C gene mutation. This study compares the safety and effectiveness of adding calderasib and cetuximab, both targeted therapies, to a standard chemotherapy regimen called mFOLFOX6. The goal is to see if this combination can help patients live longer without their cancer growing or spreading compared to current treatments that may include mFOLFOX6 with or without bevacizumab. The study has two parts. It involves treatment with calderasib taken as an oral tablet, cetuximab given according to standard procedures, and mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy combining oxaliplatin, leucovorin/levofolinate calcium, and 5-fluorouracil. Some participants may receive bevacizumab or a bevacizumab biosimilar as part of the comparison. The treatments are given following approved dosing schedules. This design allows researchers to assess the safety and tolerability of these drug combinations in treating this type of colorectal cancer with the KRAS G12C mutation. Participants will be monitored for side effects, treatment tolerability, and cancer progression over a period that may last up to about 44 months. Researchers will track outcomes such as how many participants experience dose-limiting toxicities or adverse events, how many stop treatment due to side effects, and progression-free survival time. Assessments include health evaluations, laboratory tests, and imaging to observe cancer status. This long-term follow-up aims to understand both safety and effectiveness of the treatment combinations.

Researchers are evaluating a new treatment called ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd) for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This study compares I-DXd to chemotherapy to see if it helps people live longer overall and live longer without their cancer worsening. It is a Phase 3, open-label trial focused on patients who have progressed on prior therapies and have evidence of metastatic disease. Participants receive either I-DXd through an intravenous infusion every 3 weeks or docetaxel chemotherapy administered every 3 weeks. Prednisone tablets are also given daily as part of the treatment plan. Before each I-DXd dose, premedication is provided to help prevent nausea and vomiting using a combination of drugs such as corticosteroids and anti-nausea medicines. Treatment continues until disease progression, unacceptable side effects, or other reasons to stop. During the study, researchers monitor overall survival and how long patients live without their cancer progressing, for up to about 36 months. Participants undergo tumor tissue collection, scans, and assessments to track disease status and side effects. Safety is closely watched throughout treatment. The study includes men aged 18 and older with confirmed prostate cancer and metastatic disease who have previously received certain hormone therapies but no prior taxane chemotherapy for mCRPC.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd) alone or combined with other treatments in people with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This study aims to understand how well patients tolerate the treatment, find a safe dose for combining I-DXd with other drugs, and measure prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels during treatment. The study is part of a larger master screening protocol and includes patients with confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma who have progressive disease despite prior therapies. Participants receive treatments including I-DXd given through intravenous infusion, sometimes combined with other drugs such as docetaxel (IV), MK-5684, abiraterone, or enzalutamide (all oral). Before each I-DXd dose, patients take premedication to prevent nausea and vomiting. The study includes both a safety lead-in phase and an efficacy phase, with ongoing monitoring for side effects and tolerability. The combination therapies are carefully dosed and scheduled according to the study protocol. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments to monitor side effects, measure PSA response, and track any dose-limiting toxicities. Safety is closely followed, particularly during the first 21 days for combination treatments, and throughout up to 54 months for long-term outcomes. Researchers also observe if participants discontinue treatment due to adverse events. The study requires ongoing visits and evaluations to ensure participant health and collect data on treatment effects over time.

Researchers are evaluating new treatments for people with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (HR NMIBC), a type of bladder cancer that has not spread to the muscle but has a high chance of worsening or returning. This cancer type may include carcinoma in situ (CIS), which is a flat, surface-level bladder cancer. The study aims to learn whether adding intismeran autogene (V940), a treatment designed to boost the immune system's attack on cancer, to the standard Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) immunotherapy can help people live longer without the cancer growing, spreading, or coming back. Participants will receive either the combination of V940 with BCG or BCG alone. BCG is given as a bladder instillation, while V940 is given as an intramuscular injection. The study is phase 2, open-label, and randomized. As of a 2026 amendment, outcome measures for a monotherapy arm of V940 are no longer primary or secondary. Treatment is focused on Cohort A, which includes people with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who are BCG-naïve or meet specific recurrence criteria. During the study, participants will be monitored for event-free survival for up to approximately 5 years. Researchers will assess how long participants live without the cancer worsening or returning. The study includes regular evaluations, imaging, and safety monitoring. The total duration of participation depends on individual outcomes and follow-up but includes long-term observation to assess treatment effects and safety.

Researchers are studying MK-1084, a targeted therapy, to see if it can treat advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with KRAS G12C mutations. This substudy is part of the larger KEYMAKER-U01 master protocol and aims to evaluate the safety of MK-1084 in combination with other treatments and how well the cancer responds to these therapies in patients who have already received prior treatments. Participants receive MK-1084 orally along with other treatments including patritumab deruxtecan, sacituzumab tirumotecan, and cetuximab, all given through intravenous infusions. Some participants may also receive rescue medications such as antihistamines, acetaminophen, dexamethasone, or steroid mouthwash to help prevent chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. The study includes a phase 1b/2 design with rolling arms to assess these investigational agents in previously treated patients. During the study, participants are monitored for adverse events, dose-limiting toxicities, and treatment discontinuations due to side effects for up to about 5 years. Researchers measure how many participants experience tumor shrinkage or disappearance (objective response rate). Tissue samples and biopsies are collected before treatment to confirm KRAS G12C mutation status. The study includes ongoing safety and effectiveness evaluations throughout the treatment and follow-up periods.

Researchers are evaluating molnupiravir, a study medicine designed to stop the COVID-19 virus from multiplying, to see if it can prevent severe illness from COVID-19 more effectively than a placebo. This Phase 3 randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study focuses on non-hospitalized adults at high risk of severe disease progression due to COVID-19. The study addresses the need for alternative treatments for people who cannot take certain COVID-19 medications due to availability or potential drug interactions. Participants will receive either molnupiravir or a placebo, both given orally as two 400 mg film-coated tablets every 12 hours for 5 days, totaling 10 doses. Some participants may also receive remdesivir as part of standard care if clinically appropriate and available. The study compares the effects of molnupiravir with placebo in preventing severe illness outcomes. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for outcomes such as hospitalization, death, or medically attended visits related to COVID-19 up to 29 days. Safety is assessed by tracking adverse events for up to about 5 months and discontinuation of study treatment due to adverse events for about 5 days. The study involves laboratory tests, symptom assessments, and safety evaluations to understand molnupiravir's impact on disease progression and participant health.

Researchers are evaluating treatments for breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive (HR+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-), specifically in cases where the cancer is either locally advanced and cannot be removed by surgery or has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). The study aims to determine if patritumab deruxtecan (also called HER3-DXd or MK-1022) helps patients live longer overall or without the cancer growing compared to chemotherapy or trastuzumab deruxtecan. This is a Phase 3 clinical trial focusing on this particular type of breast cancer. Participants receive one of several treatments: patritumab deruxtecan through intravenous infusion, chemotherapy options like paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel via IV, oral capecitabine tablets, liposomal doxorubicin via IV, or trastuzumab deruxtecan via IV infusion. The study compares the effects of patritumab deruxtecan alone to the treatment chosen by the physician. Treatments are administered according to standard dosing schedules during the trial. During the study, participants are monitored for how long they live without the cancer progressing (up to about 45 months) and overall survival (up to about 85 months). Researchers assess disease status through imaging and other evaluations. Participants have regular check-ups to monitor health, treatment effects, and any side effects. The study tracks treatment response and safety over the extended follow-up period to understand the benefits and risks of the therapies.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for people with high-risk, early-stage breast cancer, specifically targeting triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and hormone receptor (HR)-low positive/HER2-negative breast cancer. These types have little or no HER2 protein and involve hormones like estrogen or progesterone. The study aims to evaluate if the addition of sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT), a targeted therapy, combined with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy can improve outcomes compared to pembrolizumab with chemotherapy alone. Participants receive treatments including sacituzumab tirumotecan, pembrolizumab, and chemotherapy drugs such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, all given by intravenous infusion. Rescue medications like antihistamines, acetaminophen, dexamethasone, or steroid mouthwash may be used as needed. The study is randomized and open-label, comparing sac-TMT followed by chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab to chemotherapy and pembrolizumab without sac-TMT. During the study, researchers will monitor participants up to about 30 weeks to assess the percentage of people with no remaining cancer cells at surgery. They will also follow participants for up to approximately 92 months to track event-free survival, meaning time without cancer growth, spread, or return. Participants will undergo imaging, clinical assessments, and laboratory tests to evaluate treatment effects and safety throughout the study.
