Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of elenestinib (BLU-263) combined with symptom-directed therapy (SDT) compared to placebo plus SDT in people with indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM) whose symptoms are not well controlled by SDT alone. This Phase 2/3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study includes participants with ISM and smoldering systemic mastocytosis, and also involves groups for pharmacokinetic studies and participants who previously received a selective KIT inhibitor. The study is divided into multiple parts. Parts 1 and 2 enroll participants with ISM who will receive either elenestinib oral tablets or placebo alongside their symptom-directed therapy. Participants from Part 2 may continue into Part 3, which is an open-label extension where all receive elenestinib. Part K enrolls participants with ISM who have prior experience with selective KIT inhibitors. The study tracks treatment effects and safety over time. Participants will be monitored for up to 5 years, with assessments including the number of treatment-emergent adverse events, changes in symptom scores measured by the ISM-Symptom in Assessment Form, and overall safety monitoring. Evaluations occur at baseline, 13 weeks, 49 weeks, and throughout the long-term follow-up. The study also includes detailed tracking of symptom control and adverse events to evaluate the impact of treatment on participants' health and quality of life.

Researchers are conducting a Phase I/II, multi-site, open-label study to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and optimal dosing of the investigational treatments BNT323 combined with BNT327 in adults with advanced breast cancer. This includes those with hormone receptor-positive or negative types, HER2-positive, HER2-low, HER2-ultralow, HER2-null breast cancer, or triple-negative breast cancer. The study aims to understand how these treatments work alone and together in this patient population. The study has two parts: Part 1 involves dose escalation where participants with chemotherapy-pretreated advanced breast cancer receive BNT323 and BNT327 together to find the recommended Phase 2 dose. Part 2 is an expansion phase that tests the safety and effectiveness of the chosen dose, including randomized comparisons of combination therapy at different doses and monotherapies. Participants may be assigned to one of four treatment arms, with dosing administered via intravenous infusion. Participants will be monitored for dose-limiting toxicities during the first 21 days of treatment, as well as adverse events up to 90 days after the last dose. Tumor response will be assessed for up to 36 months. Evaluations include heart function tests, tumor imaging, safety assessments, and tracking of side effects. The study carefully monitors treatment safety, effectiveness, and participant health throughout the trial duration.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, effectiveness, best dose, and how the body processes (pharmacokinetics) an investigational drug called BNT326. This study includes people with advanced solid tumors that are metastatic, recurrent, or have progressed after previous treatments. The investigation is divided into two parts: Part 1 tests BNT326 alone, and Part 2 studies BNT326 alone or combined with other immunotherapy drugs, including pumitamig (BNT327). Participants have specific tumor types like melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and cervical cancer, among others. In Part 1, participants receive BNT326 by intravenous infusion in various groups based on cancer type and prior treatments. Part 2 involves BNT326 given alone or with pumitamig, also by intravenous infusion, in several defined cancer groups. Some groups are randomized to receive different dose levels or combinations to find the optimal treatment plan. The study includes a screening phase, treatment phase lasting up to 24 months or until progression or unacceptable side effects, a safety follow-up, efficacy follow-up, and long-term survival monitoring, totaling about 38 months for Part 1 and 48 months for Part 2. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including measuring tumor response using RECIST criteria, monitoring for side effects and serious adverse events up to months after treatment ends, and measuring drug levels in the blood. Researchers track treatment interruptions or discontinuations due to side effects and evaluate dose-limiting toxicities. Tumor tissue samples are required before enrollment. Safety and effectiveness data are collected throughout treatment and follow-up periods to understand how well BNT326 works alone or combined and its safety profile.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, tolerability, and therapeutic effects of a combination treatment using BNT113 and pembrolizumab compared to pembrolizumab alone for patients with unresectable recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) that is positive for human papillomavirus 16 (HPV16+) and expresses the PD-L1 protein with a combined positive score of 1 or higher. This Phase II/III trial includes patients whose cancer cannot be treated with local therapies and who have not received prior systemic anticancer therapy for their current disease condition. The trial consists of two parts. Part A is a non-randomized Safety Run-In Phase to confirm the safety and tolerability of BNT113 combined with pembrolizumab at the selected dose. Part B is a randomized phase that compares BNT113 plus pembrolizumab against pembrolizumab alone as first-line treatment. Patients in Part A continue their treatment without randomization. Treatments are given by intravenous injection or infusion, and patients may receive either combination therapy or monotherapy for up to 24 months. There is also an optional pre-screening phase to test tumor samples for HPV16 DNA and PD-L1 expression before entering the main trial. Participants undergo regular assessments including tumor measurements based on RECIST 1.1 criteria confirmed by independent review. Researchers monitor treatment-emergent adverse events for up to 27 months in Part A and evaluate overall survival and progression-free survival for up to 48 months in Part B. Tumor tissue samples are collected before treatment to confirm eligibility. The study involves ongoing safety monitoring and efficacy evaluations throughout the treatment and follow-up periods.

Researchers are conducting a global, multicenter, prospective observational registry to study patients with Pompe disease, including those with late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) and infantile-onset Pompe disease (IOPD). The study includes both patients who are untreated and those receiving approved Pompe disease therapies. The main goals are to assess the long-term safety and real-world effectiveness of these treatments, understand their impact on quality of life and patient-reported outcomes, and describe the natural history of untreated Pompe disease. Participants may be treated with various therapies including enzyme replacement therapies such as cipaglucosidase alfa delivered by intravenous infusion, alglucosidase alfa or avalglucosidase alfa once approved locally, and miglustat co-administered with ATB200. Patients not receiving any medical therapy for Pompe disease are also included. The study gathers data from both treated and untreated patients as they are managed in routine clinical practice. Throughout the study, participant data will be collected to monitor the frequency of adverse events and serious adverse events over a period of five years. Researchers will also evaluate treatment effectiveness, quality of life, and patient-reported outcomes during this time. This observational approach allows for long-term safety monitoring and understanding of Pompe disease progression in a real-world setting.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of combining durvalumab and domvanalimab compared to durvalumab plus placebo in adults with locally advanced (Stage III), unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease has not worsened after definitive platinum-based concurrent chemoradiation therapy. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, international study involves multiple centers. Participants receive intravenous infusions of durvalumab and domvanalimab or durvalumab and placebo. The treatments are given after patients have completed concurrent platinum-based chemotherapy and radiation therapy with a total radiation dose of approximately 60 Gy. The study monitors patients over time to assess treatment effects and safety. During the study, participants undergo evaluations including tumor tissue analysis for PD-L1 status, performance status assessments, and monitoring of organ and marrow function. The main outcome measured is progression-free survival up to 8 years after randomization. Researchers also monitor for any adverse effects and disease progression throughout the study period.

Neuroblastoma is a common and serious childhood cancer that often leads to death, especially in high-risk cases where the cancer is harder to treat. This trial focuses on children aged one year and older with relapsed neuroblastoma, which means the cancer has come back or is resistant after initial treatment. The study aims to find better treatment combinations to improve survival, evaluate their safety and effectiveness, and learn more about the biology of relapsed neuroblastoma through biomarker research. This is a phase I/II international trial designed to potentially impact clinical practice and advance targeted therapies. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two main treatment groups receiving combinations of drugs including dinutuximab beta, irinotecan, temozolomide, and bevacizumab, administered every three weeks for up to 12 cycles. A third treatment group with a more experimental combination is also available for a smaller number of patients to confirm dosing and safety before possibly expanding. The trial includes detailed drug regimens and allows for adjustments based on safety and effectiveness findings. During the study, participants will undergo various assessments such as imaging scans, blood tests, and bone marrow evaluations to monitor disease status and treatment effects. Researchers will track progression-free survival and observe any dose-limiting toxicities over up to five years after randomization. Biological samples will be collected to support research on neuroblastoma. Patient quality of life and safety will be closely monitored throughout the treatment and follow-up periods, which together may last up to eight years from enrollment.

Researchers are evaluating the drug STP938 in adults with high risk essential thrombocythaemia (ET) who have not responded well to or cannot tolerate hydroxycarbamide therapy. This phase 1b, open-label study aims to determine if STP938 can control platelet counts effectively and safely without causing unwanted side effects. The study focuses on patients who require treatment to lower their platelet counts due to high risk ET. Participants will take STP938 capsules daily in 28-day cycles for about 12 months. The initial dose will be assigned for the first 4 weeks and may be adjusted by the investigator as needed. Study visits will occur approximately twice per cycle, totaling about 26 visits over the year. If the drug controls platelet counts without significant side effects, participants may continue treatment beyond 12 months. During the study, participants will have physical exams, ECGs, blood and urine tests, CT or MRI scans, bone marrow biopsies, drug level testing, and gene testing. They will also complete monthly symptom questionnaires. After treatment ends, safety follow-up visits will ensure no adverse effects remain. The main outcomes measured are clinical efficacy and safety over approximately 12 months of participation.

Researchers are studying bleximenib, an investigational drug taken orally, to find the best dose for treating acute leukemia and to evaluate its safety and effectiveness. In Phase 1, they aim to identify the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) through a dose escalation and expansion process. Phase 2 will focus on assessing how well bleximenib works at the recommended dose in participants with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia, particularly those with specific genetic alterations in KMT2A, NPM1, or NUP98/NUP214. The study involves administering bleximenib orally and includes different participant groups based on age and disease status. Phase 1 includes pediatric participants aged 2 to less than 18 years and adults 18 years and older with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia who have limited treatment options. Phase 2 focuses on adults over 18 with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia harboring KMT2A or NPM1 mutations. The trial monitors participants for dose-limiting toxicities, adverse events, and treatment tolerability over periods lasting up to nearly five years. Participants will undergo evaluations of safety, including the number and severity of adverse events and dose-limiting toxicities during the first cycle. The effectiveness measure in Phase 2 is the rate of complete remission or remission with partial blood count recovery. Throughout the study, participants will be assessed using laboratory tests, performance status scales, and pregnancy tests as applicable. Safety monitoring and long-term follow-up will continue for up to 4 years and 9 months to fully evaluate treatment effects and tolerability.

Researchers are evaluating CRB-701, an antibody-drug conjugate targeting nectin-4, in adults with advanced solid tumors that express nectin-4. This Phase 1/2 clinical trial aims to find a safe and effective dose of CRB-701 and to determine which cancers might respond to this treatment. The study includes three parts focusing on safety, dosing, and effectiveness, especially for tumors resistant to other treatments or lacking standard therapies. The study is divided into three parts. Part A involves escalating doses of CRB-701 alone to identify the maximum tolerated dose and recommended dose for further study. Part B tests two dose levels of CRB-701 alone and combined with an anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor to optimize dosing. Part C further explores CRB-701 alone or with anti-PD-1 in up to seven groups of participants. Treatments are given by intravenous infusion. Participants will attend clinic visits for infusions and undergo various tests including blood work, CT or MRI scans, and other assessments to monitor tumor response and safety. The main outcomes measured are dose safety, tolerability, and objective tumor response over periods ranging from 21 days to up to 6 months. Ongoing monitoring includes safety assessments and evaluation of treatment effects over time.
