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 evaluating if combining the medicines calderasib and subcutaneous pembrolizumab can more effectively treat people with non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has a KRAS G12C mutation. The study aims to find out whether patients receiving calderasib with pembrolizumab live longer without their cancer growing or spreading compared to those receiving pembrolizumab with chemotherapy. This is a Phase 3 clinical trial focusing on first-line treatment for advanced or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC. Participants are assigned to one of two groups. One group receives subcutaneous pembrolizumab plus berahyaluronidase alfa every 6 weeks for up to 18 cycles about 2 years along with oral calderasib until treatment discontinuation criteria are met. The other group receives the same pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa regimen plus chemotherapy with pemetrexed and either carboplatin or cisplatin infusions during the early cycles. Treatment continues based on individual response and tolerability. During the study, participants will have regular visits for treatment and monitoring. Researchers will assess progression-free survival, overall survival, response rates, and quality of life using questionnaires and symptom scores over several years. Safety will be monitored through adverse event reporting. The trial lasts up to about 7 years with ongoing evaluation of health outcomes and side effects to understand the impact of these treatment combinations.

Researchers are evaluating calderasib alone or combined with cetuximab to treat people with advanced solid tumors that have the KRAS G12C mutation, excluding colorectal cancer. This study aims to measure how many participants experience tumor shrinkage or disappearance and compare the responses between the two treatments. It is a phase 2, open-label trial focused on treatment safety and tolerability. Participants will receive calderasib orally with no set limit on treatment cycles. Some participants will also receive cetuximab via intravenous infusion every two weeks. Treatment continues until criteria for stopping the study intervention are met. The trial uses a randomized, parallel design to compare the two experimental arms. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for tumor response, adverse events, and treatment discontinuations related to side effects. Researchers will also assess progression-free survival, duration of response, and overall survival up to about 76 months. The trial lasts until April 2032, with ongoing safety and efficacy evaluations during this period.

Researchers are studying treatments for locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer mCRC that cannot be removed by surgery and has a specific KRAS G12C gene mutation. This trial aims to evaluate if adding the targeted therapies calderasib and cetuximab to the standard chemotherapy regimen mFOLFOX6 can provide better outcomes compared to mFOLFOX6 with or without bevacizumab. The study focuses on the safety and tolerability of these combinations and whether they can help people live longer without their cancer growing or spreading. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive calderasib orally, cetuximab every two weeks, and mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy including oxaliplatin, leucovorin or levofolinate calcium, and 5-fluorouracil every two weeks. The other group will receive mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab every two weeks, based on the investigators decision. Treatments will continue until certain stopping criteria are met. During the study, participants will be monitored for side effects and treatment tolerance, with regular assessments of cancer progression. Researchers will measure outcomes such as dose-limiting toxicities, adverse events, progression-free survival, and overall survival. Quality of life will also be evaluated through questionnaires. The study may last up to several years, with monitoring continuing for safety and effectiveness throughout the treatment period and 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.

This research investigates treatments for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer mCRPC focusing on a drug called ifinatamab deruxtecan I-DXd. The study aims to assess the safety, how well participants tolerate the treatments, and appropriate dosing levels of I-DXd alone or combined with other therapies. Researchers will also monitor participants prostate specific antigen PSA levels during treatment to understand its effects. Participants are assigned to one of several treatment groups. One group receives docetaxel every three weeks for up to 10 cycles. Other groups receive I-DXd alone or combined with either opevesostat or androgen receptor pathway inhibitors such as abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide. I-DXd is given every three weeks until unacceptable side effects, disease progression, death, or withdrawal, while the other drugs continue until specific discontinuation criteria are met. Premedication is required before each I-DXd dose to prevent nausea and vomiting. Throughout the study, participants undergo various assessments including monitoring of dose-limiting toxicities, adverse events, and PSA response rates. Researchers also track objective response rates, progression-free survival, overall survival, and other clinical outcomes over up to approximately 54 months. The study involves regular evaluations to assess safety and treatment effects until study completion.

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.

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 safety, efficacy, and optimal dosing of a combination of two investigational treatments, BNT323 trastuzumab pamirtecan and BNT327 pumitamig, in people with advanced breast cancer. This includes those with hormone receptor-positive or -negative, HER2-positive, HER2-low, HER2-ultralow, HER2-null breast cancer, or triple-negative breast cancer. The study is a Phase III multi-site, open-label trial with a focus on advanced breast cancer treatment options. The study has two parts. Part 1 involves dose escalation of BNT323 combined with BNT327 to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose using six different dose levels. Part 2, which begins after Part 1 completion, includes dose optimization and exploratory cohorts. Cohort 1 in Part 2 uses randomization into four treatment arms, including combination therapy at different doses and monotherapies of either BNT323 or BNT327. Other cohorts receive the recommended dose without randomization. Participants will undergo assessments including tumor scans and cardiac function tests, with monitoring for side effects and tumor response up to 36 months. Researchers will track dose-limiting toxicities and treatment-emergent adverse events during early treatment cycles and monitor objective response rates and disease control over time. Safety and efficacy data will be collected through scheduled visits and tumor assessments during and after treatment to evaluate the study drugs effects and tolerability.
