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 evaluating molnupiravir, an oral medicine designed to stop the COVID-19 virus from multiplying, to see if it can prevent severe illness from COVID-19 in people at high risk of disease progression. The study focuses on adults with confirmed COVID-19 infection who are at increased risk due to age, medical conditions, or other factors. This is a Phase 3 randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial led by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either molnupiravir or a matching placebo. Those in the molnupiravir group will take 800 mg orally every 12 hours for 5 days, totaling 10 doses. The same dosing schedule applies to the placebo group. Some participants may also receive remdesivir as part of standard care if clinically appropriate. During the study, participants will be monitored for up to 29 days to assess outcomes such as hospitalization, death, or medically attended visits related to COVID-19. Safety will be evaluated by tracking adverse events and discontinuation due to side effects. Researchers will also measure symptom relief, viral RNA levels, and other health indicators. The study is expected to continue until January 2031.

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 investigating new treatments for radiographic axial spondyloarthritis r-axSpA, a form of arthritis causing pain, stiffness, and swelling in the spine and pelvis joints. This condition shows visible damage on X-rays. The study aims to evaluate if different doses of the medicine tulisokibart can improve r-axSpA symptoms compared to a placebo, which helps measure the medicines effects accurately. Participants will be assigned to one of several groups receiving high, medium, or low doses of tulisokibart, or a placebo. The study includes a 16-week placebo-controlled phase. After that, participants receiving the low dose or placebo will be re-assigned to medium or high doses. Following this, there is a long-term extension lasting 124 weeks, which has a 40-week main extension and an 84-week optional extension, allowing continued treatment and observation. Throughout the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor symptoms and disease activity using various indexes and imaging scores. Researchers will track the percentage of participants who achieve improvement at week 16 and monitor safety by recording adverse events up to approximately 154 weeks. The study uses injections of tulisokibart or placebo under the skin and includes ongoing evaluations of physical function, pain, inflammation, and quality of life.

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 budoprutug, a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting CD19, in adults with immune thrombocytopenia ITP, a condition characterized by low platelet counts. This Phase 1b2a open-label study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary clinical effects of budoprutug in patients with platelet counts below 30,000L despite prior treatment attempts. The study is sponsored by Climb Bio, Inc. Participants will receive budoprutug as two intravenous infusions administered 14 days apart. The study includes sequential cohorts with escalating doses, followed by a dose expansion group. Each participant receives a single IV dose on Day 1 and another on Day 15. The trial monitors the effects of budoprutug on platelet counts and CD20 B-cell levels, among other factors. Throughout the study, participants will be closely monitored up to 48 weeks for treatment-related side effects, blood levels of the drug, immune cell changes, platelet responses, and the development of anti-drug antibodies. Safety labs including coagulation tests and bilirubin levels will be assessed. The study does not include placebo groups and participation involves scheduled visits for infusions and follow-up evaluations to track both safety and preliminary clinical outcomes over nearly a year.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of Radotinib in patients with chronic phase Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia who have not responded well or cannot tolerate previous tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatments, including Imatinib. This multinational Phase III study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of Radotinib in this specific patient group. A total of 173 participants are expected to enroll in this single-arm, open-label trial. Participants will receive Radotinib at a dose of 400 mg twice daily, taken orally every 12 hours, for 12 months. Dose adjustments may be made if participants experience certain blood-related or other toxicities, with up to two reductions allowed per stage to 600 mg and then 400 mg. The study monitors patients closely to manage any side effects and ensure compliance with the dosing schedule. Throughout the study, participants will undergo regular assessments, including cytogenetic and molecular response evaluations at 6, 12, and 24 months. Researchers will track major cytogenetic response at 6 months as the primary outcome, with additional measures of overall survival and progression-free survival by 24 months. Safety and tolerability will also be monitored, with follow-up lasting up to two years to evaluate long-term effects and disease progression.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, how the body processes the drug, and the effects of calderasib alone and in combination with other therapies in adults with advanced solid tumors that have a specific genetic mutation called KRAS G12C. This study focuses on participants with measurable disease and adequate organ function who have this mutation confirmed by tissue or blood testing. It is a Phase 1 trial aiming to understand treatment tolerability and effectiveness in this patient group. Participants receive different study treatments depending on their assigned group. Some receive daily oral escalating doses of calderasib up to 800 mg until the disease progresses or treatment stops. Others receive calderasib combined with pembrolizumab infusions every 21 days for up to about 24 months, sometimes along with other chemotherapy drugs like carboplatin, pemetrexed, cetuximab, oxaliplatin, leucovorin, and 5-fluorouracil, given according to standard dosing schedules. Dosing may be adjusted based on safety. The study includes several treatment arms with different combinations. During the study, participants undergo regular safety monitoring, including tracking dose-limiting toxicities and adverse events over approximately 56 months. Researchers measure treatment effects, such as tumor response and duration, and study how calderasib behaves in the body through blood tests at designated times during treatment cycles. Participants will be followed through multiple cycles lasting 3 or 4 weeks depending on the arm, with assessments continuing for up to about 56 months to capture long-term effects and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of combining calderasib with pembrolizumab as the first treatment for people with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has a specific KRAS G12C mutation and a PD-L1 tumor proportion score of 50% or higher. The study compares this combination to pembrolizumab with a placebo to see if it improves the time participants live without the cancer worsening and overall survival. Participants receive pembrolizumab through an intravenous infusion every 21 days for up to 35 cycles. They also take calderasib or a matching placebo by mouth daily until they meet criteria to stop treatment. The study is randomized and double-blind, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives calderasib or placebo. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor cancer progression, overall survival, response rate, and quality of life measures through questionnaires. Safety will be closely monitored by tracking adverse events and treatment discontinuations. The study may last up to about 56 months, including follow-up to observe long-term outcomes and quality of life changes.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for advanced non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has not been treated before. NSCLC is the most common type of lung cancer and includes cases where the cancer has spread beyond what surgery can remove. The study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of adding new treatments, including a special antibody-drug conjugate called HER3-DXd, to the existing immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab, with or without chemotherapy. This is a Phase 2 randomized study focused on participants with stage IV NSCLC. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. One group will receive pembrolizumab combined with standard platinum-based chemotherapy, which includes drugs like paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, carboplatin, or pemetrexed, given intravenously in cycles every three weeks. The other group will receive pembrolizumab combined with HER3-DXd, also given intravenously every three weeks. Pembrolizumab is given at a fixed dose of 200 mg every three weeks for up to about two years, while chemotherapy and HER3-DXd are administered according to specific dosing schedules and discontinued based on defined criteria. During the study, participants will be monitored for up to five years to assess treatment responses, side effects, and survival outcomes. Researchers will collect tumor tissue samples, track adverse events, and measure overall response rates, progression-free survival, and overall survival. Safety will be closely observed, including the number of participants who stop treatment due to side effects. Participants will have regular visits for infusions and assessments, and the study may last several years depending on individual treatment and follow-up needs.
