Researchers are evaluating the effect of a triple therapy inhaler called BGF MDI containing budesonide, glycopyrronium, and formoterol fumarate compared with a dual therapy inhaler called GFF MDI containing glycopyrronium and formoterol fumarate in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) who have a higher risk of heart and lung problems. This Phase III randomized, double-blind, parallel group study takes place at multiple centers and focuses on cardiopulmonary outcomes in these patients. Participants receive either the BGF MDI 320/14.4/9.6 micrograms twice daily or the GFF MDI 14.4/9.6 micrograms twice daily. The treatments are inhaled using metered dose inhalers. The study compares these two therapies over time to see how they affect the time until the first severe heart or lung event occurs. The study design ensures that neither participants nor researchers know which treatment is given to reduce bias. During the study, participants will have regular visits to the study site or virtual visits to complete assessments. Researchers will monitor lung function, symptoms, and blood tests, including blood eosinophil counts and COPD assessment test scores. The main outcome measured is the time to the first severe cardiac or COPD event, with follow-up lasting up to three years. Safety and adherence to treatment will also be closely observed throughout the study period.

Researchers are investigating the effectiveness and safety of rilvegostomig combined with gemcitabine plus cisplatin compared to durvalumab combined with gemcitabine plus cisplatin as first-line treatments for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer, including cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder carcinoma. This is a global, phase III, randomized, open-label study focused on patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic disease who have not previously received treatment for advanced cancer. The study includes patients with known PD-L1 status and measurable tumors suitable for repeated evaluation. Participants will receive either rilvegostomig intravenously every three weeks along with gemcitabine and cisplatin given intravenously on days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle, or durvalumab intravenously every three weeks for up to eight cycles, followed by dosing every four weeks, along with the same chemotherapy regimen. Treatment is designed to evaluate first-line therapy effects, comparing these two immunotherapy combinations alongside standard chemotherapy. Throughout the study, patients will be closely monitored for overall survival, especially in those with PD-L1 expression of 1% or higher, over approximately four years. Assessments will include tumor measurements by CT or MRI using RECIST 1.1 criteria, performance status evaluations, and ongoing safety monitoring. The study aims to understand the impact of these treatments on survival and disease progression in advanced biliary tract cancer patients.

Researchers are evaluating neladalkib (NVL-655) compared to alectinib in patients with treatment-na efve, ALK-positive advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). This Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label study aims to show that neladalkib can prolong progression-free survival (PFS) better than alectinib in this patient group. Patients included have advanced or metastatic NSCLC confirmed to have ALK rearrangement and have not received prior systemic anticancer treatments for NSCLC. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either oral neladalkib tablets or oral alectinib capsules. Each group will have approximately 225 patients. Treatment will be given as first-line therapy without prior ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor use. The study monitors the patients over time to compare the effectiveness of these two drugs in controlling the disease. During the study, researchers will assess progression-free survival up to 5 years after the first patient is dosed, using blinded independent central review. Patients will have measurable disease and provide pretreatment tumor tissue for evaluation. Safety monitoring includes tracking heart rhythm, infections, and other health conditions. The study excludes patients with certain infections, recent major surgery, or other active cancers requiring therapy. This comprehensive follow-up aims to evaluate how well each treatment controls cancer progression and its safety over time.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of combining trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) with rilvegostomig compared to standard treatments in patients with advanced HER2-expressing biliary tract cancer who have not received prior therapy. This phase 3 study focuses on patients with locally advanced or metastatic disease and aims to measure overall survival and safety outcomes. Participants will receive one of the following treatments: the experimental combination of T-DXd and rilvegostomig by intravenous infusion, T-DXd alone, or a standard care regimen consisting of gemcitabine, cisplatin, and durvalumab given intravenously. The study includes a safety run-in period to assess tolerability of the combination, followed by a randomized phase where patients receive assigned treatments. Each treatment cycle lasts 21 days. During the study, participants will be closely monitored through clinical assessments, laboratory tests, and imaging to evaluate tumor response and safety. Researchers will track overall survival from the time of treatment initiation until death from any cause, with follow-up estimated up to 50 months. Additional assessments include performance status, organ function, and tumor tissue analysis to confirm HER2 expression and other markers. Safety and side effects will be continuously evaluated throughout the study.
