Researchers are comparing two treatment combinations for adults with advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that have a specific KRAS p.G12C mutation and are negative for PD-L1 expression. The study aims to evaluate progression-free survival and overall survival between participants receiving sotorasib with platinum doublet chemotherapy and those receiving pembrolizumab with platinum doublet chemotherapy. This phase 3, randomized, open-label trial is led by Amgen and includes participants with stage IV or advanced stage IIIBC NSCLC. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either sotorasib orally combined with carboplatin and pemetrexed, or pembrolizumab intravenously combined with the same chemotherapy drugs. These treatments are given as front-line therapy. The study includes a treatment period with these drug combinations and monitoring for outcomes such as response rates and quality of life over several years. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed through various measures including survival status, tumor response, and quality-of-life questionnaires focusing on lung cancer symptoms. Researchers will monitor safety by tracking adverse events, vital signs, and laboratory tests. Treatment concentrations of sotorasib will also be measured up to 64 days after starting. The total study duration includes follow-up for up to approximately 5.5 years to fully evaluate treatment effects and outcomes.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of the combination of divarasib and pembrolizumab compared with pembrolizumab combined with pemetrexed and either carboplatin or cisplatin. This study focuses on adults with previously untreated, advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has a KRAS G12C mutation. The goal is to assess these treatments as first-line options in this specific lung cancer population. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will take divarasib orally once daily and receive pembrolizumab through an intravenous infusion every three weeks. The other group will receive pembrolizumab, pemetrexed, and either carboplatin or cisplatin via intravenous infusions every three weeks. Treatment continues with these schedules, following the study protocol for up to approximately five years of follow-up. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor their health and response to treatment. These include imaging and clinical evaluations to measure progression-free survival and overall survival for up to five years. Researchers will also track quality of life, symptom changes, treatment side effects, and adverse events using questionnaires and patient-reported outcomes. Safety monitoring and detailed evaluations will help understand the effects of the treatments over the study duration.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of combining inavolisib with a cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitor CDK46i and letrozole compared to placebo plus CDK46i and letrozole in adults with endocrine-sensitive PIK3CA-mutated hormone receptor-positive HR, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. This phase III, randomized, double-blind study focuses on participants who have measurable disease and meet specific hormone receptor and HER2 status criteria. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either oral inavolisib once daily along with letrozole and CDK46i or placebo once daily with letrozole and CDK46i. The CDK46i is given on a schedule of either Days 1-21 or Days 1-28 of each 28-day cycle. The study includes parallel groups to compare these treatment combinations over time. During the study, participants will be monitored for progression-free survival, overall survival, response rates, duration of response, clinical benefit, and changes in pain, physical function, and global health status. Safety will be assessed by tracking adverse events and patient-reported treatment side effects using questionnaires. The study will follow participants for up to seven years, with regular evaluations to track disease status and quality of life.

Researchers are evaluating elacestrant compared to standard endocrine therapies in adults with node-positive, Estrogen Receptor-positive ER, HER2-negative early breast cancer who are at high risk of cancer returning. The study focuses on those who have had prior endocrine therapy and aims to measure how well elacestrant may prevent invasive breast cancer recurrence over five years. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either 345 mg of elacestrant daily for five years or continue their prior standard endocrine therapy, which may include an aromatase inhibitor anastrozole, letrozole, or exemestane or tamoxifen. The trial is open-label, meaning both participants and researchers know which treatment is given. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor cancer recurrence, survival, side effects, and quality of life. Evaluations include questionnaires on health status and physical functioning at baseline, six months, and annually for up to five years. Safety is tracked through adverse event reporting up to five years plus 28 days. The total participation duration can last up to five years with ongoing monitoring and data collection.

Researchers are conducting an international, multicenter, open-label phase III trial to evaluate the addition of adjuvant durvalumab after neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with durvalumab and surgery in patients with early-stage, operable non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC stages IIB to IIIB. The main goal is to see if giving durvalumab after surgery improves disease-free survival in patients who do not achieve complete pathological response after initial treatment. The treatment plan involves 3 to 4 cycles of neoadjuvant durvalumab combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, followed by surgery to remove the tumor. After surgery, patients with complete R0 or microscopic residual R1 resection are randomly assigned to either receive adjuvant durvalumab given intravenously at 1500 mg every 4 weeks for up to 12 cycles or to be observed without additional treatment. Participants will be monitored regularly for about 60 months after randomization to assess disease-free survival and other outcomes such as overall survival, time to recurrence, and treatment toxicity. Assessments include imaging scans to check for metastatic disease, pathological review after surgery, and ongoing safety evaluations. Participants must attend scheduled visits and follow study procedures throughout the treatment and follow-up periods.

Researchers are evaluating whether adding zilovertamab vedotin to a standard treatment regimen can help people with previously untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma DLBCL live longer without the cancer growing or spreading. This phase 3 randomized study compares the combination of zilovertamab vedotin with rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone R-CHP against the standard regimen of rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone R-CHOP. The trial is sponsored by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC and aims to improve treatment outcomes for people with this type of lymphoma. Participants receive treatment in cycles lasting 21 days, for up to 6 cycles approximately 4 months. One group receives zilovertamab vedotin plus rituximab or a rituximab biosimilar, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone or prednisolone or methylprednisolone, while the comparison group receives rituximab or biosimilar, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone or prednisolone or methylprednisolone. Both groups may receive 2 additional cycles of rituximab or biosimilar if they have high-risk DLBCL. All infusions are given intravenously on Day 1 of each cycle, with prednisone or similar drugs taken orally on Days 1-5 of each cycle. Throughout the study, participants are closely monitored for progression-free survival up to about 50 months, as well as other outcomes such as overall survival, response to treatment, adverse events, and quality of life changes. Assessments include clinical evaluations during treatment and follow-up periods, with safety monitoring continuing for up to 9 months. This comprehensive follow-up helps researchers understand the effects and tolerability of the treatments over time.

Researchers are evaluating treatments for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that have specific genetic changes called HER2 mutations. This lung cancer has spread or cannot be controlled with current treatments. The study aims to compare how well a drug called sevabertinib works and how safe it is compared to standard treatment for this type of cancer. Participants will receive either sevabertinib tablets twice daily or standard treatment consisting of pembrolizumab combined with platinum-based chemotherapy given every 21 days by infusion. Those on standard treatment who experience disease progression may switch to sevabertinib. Treatment continues as long as participants benefit and do not have severe side effects or until they or their doctor decide to stop. During the study, participants will have imaging scans like CT, PET, MRI, and X-rays to monitor cancer spread. Doctors will also perform health checks including blood and urine tests, heart monitoring with ECG, pregnancy tests for women, and ask about symptoms or side effects. The main measure is progression-free survival assessed up to about 2 years, with additional outcomes related to survival, response rates, side effects, and quality of life followed up to 4 years.

Researchers are conducting a three-part Phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate a potential new medicine called Sofetabart Mipitecan Sofe-M in people with high-grade serous or endometrioid ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancers. The study focuses on patients with platinum-resistant cancer in Part A, meaning their disease worsened during or within six months of platinum-based chemotherapy, and platinum-sensitive cancer in Parts B and C, where disease remained controlled for more than six months after platinum treatment. The goal is to assess whether Sofe-M works better than current standard treatments and to understand its safety. Participants receive treatments administered intravenously. Part A compares Sofe-M to investigators choice of chemotherapy or Mirvetuximab Soravtansine MIRV. Parts B and C compare Sofe-M plus bevacizumab to platinum-based doublet chemotherapy plus bevacizumab. The study includes multiple chemotherapy options such as paclitaxel, topotecan, gemcitabine, and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin. Each participants involvement duration depends on their response to treatment. During the trial, participants undergo regular assessments including imaging to measure progression-free survival and overall survival. Researchers also track tumor marker responses, side effects, quality of life scores, and pharmacokinetics of Sofe-M. The study uses a randomized design without masking. Follow-up can last up to about 70 months, allowing for long-term safety and effectiveness monitoring.

Researchers are evaluating tarlatamab in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer ES-SCLC who have already received one line of platinum-etoposide chemotherapy combined with immune-checkpoint inhibition and have an ECOG Performance Status of 2. This phase II international trial aims to assess the clinical effectiveness of tarlatamab by measuring the overall survival rate at 12 months in this population whose disease has progressed. Participants receive tarlatamab through an intravenous infusion starting with 1 mg on day 1, followed by 10 mg on days 8 and 15, and then 10 mg every two weeks thereafter. This treatment continues until disease progression, unacceptable side effects, or the participant decides to stop. The study includes only one treatment arm with tarlatamab. During the trial, participants are monitored for overall survival up to about 41 months, along with other outcomes such as response to treatment, disease control, progression-free survival, and adverse events. The study involves regular assessments to track these outcomes while ensuring patient safety. The total study duration extends until October 2029.

Researchers are studying an experimental drug called odronextamab for adults with previously untreated follicular lymphoma, a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The trial is a Phase 3, open-label, randomized study comparing odronextamab to rituximab combined with different chemotherapy regimens, which represent the current standard treatment. The study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and how well odronextamab works compared to standard care, including side effects, drug levels in the blood, antibody development against the drug, and quality of life impacts. The study has two parts Part 1 is a non-randomized safety run-in where all participants receive odronextamab alone to assess safety and tolerability. In Part 2, participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups one receiving odronextamab followed by maintenance therapy with odronextamab, and the other receiving rituximab combined with chemotherapy followed by rituximab maintenance. Chemotherapy regimens include CHOP, CVP, or bendamustine, administered as per protocol. Participants will be monitored regularly for treatment side effects, drug concentrations, and immune responses for up to 5 years. Researchers will assess responses using imaging and other tests at multiple time points, including complete response at 30 months and progression-free survival up to 5 years. Quality of life and physical function will also be evaluated using standardized questionnaires. Safety and adverse events will be tracked for up to 2 years, ensuring comprehensive follow-up throughout the study duration.
