Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of divarasib combined with pembrolizumab compared to pembrolizumab with pemetrexed and either carboplatin or cisplatin. The study focuses on adults with advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a specific KRAS G12C mutation. This is a Phase III trial aiming to improve first-line treatment options for these patients. Participants will receive one of two treatment combinations. One group will take divarasib orally once daily along with pembrolizumab given through an intravenous infusion every three weeks. The other group will receive pembrolizumab with pemetrexed and either carboplatin or cisplatin, all administered by intravenous infusion every three weeks. Treatment schedules and dosages are carefully monitored during the study. Throughout the study, participants will be regularly assessed for progression-free survival and overall survival, with follow-up lasting up to approximately five years. Researchers will perform various evaluations including tumor measurements and safety monitoring. This long-term observation helps to understand the treatments' effects and safety over time, supporting informed decisions for future lung cancer therapies.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of pirtobrutinib in adults with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). The study focuses on two parts: Part 1 tests three different doses of pirtobrutinib in participants who have had 1 to 3 prior treatments, including a covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor. Part 2 evaluates pirtobrutinib alone in participants who have not received prior treatment but have a specific genetic deletion called 17p. This is a phase 2, open-label, randomized study. Pirtobrutinib is given orally to participants in both study parts. Participants in Part 1 receive one of three dose levels, while those in Part 2 receive pirtobrutinib monotherapy. Part 1 participation lasts about 3 years, and Part 2 participation can last up to 2 years. The study compares the effects of different doses and treatment histories to better understand pirtobrutinib’s impact on CLL/SLL. Throughout the study, researchers monitor participants' overall response to treatment from the start up to 3 years. They assess safety and side effects, and participants are required to be able to swallow oral medication and have a performance status that allows them to participate. The study includes regular evaluations to determine how well the treatment controls the disease and to track any adverse events over the course of the study periods.

Researchers are evaluating how well elacestrant works compared to standard endocrine therapy in adults with node-positive, Estrogen Receptor-positive (ER+), Human Epidermal Growth Factor-2 negative (HER2-) early breast cancer who are at high risk of the cancer returning. This is a Phase 3 global, multicenter, randomized, open-label study focusing on participants who have had early invasive breast cancer removed and meet specific receptor and risk criteria. The study aims to understand which treatment better prevents invasive breast cancer over up to five years. Participants will receive either elacestrant or one of several standard endocrine therapies, including anastrozole, letrozole, exemestane, or tamoxifen, all given as oral tablets. Treatments will be administered according to the study plan, with careful monitoring throughout the trial. The study includes adults who have already received between 24 and 60 months of prior endocrine therapy, with or without certain inhibitors, and who have completed or stopped these treatments as required. During the study, participants will be monitored for invasive breast cancer-free survival for up to five years. Researchers will perform regular assessments to track treatment effects, side effects, and cancer recurrence. The study also includes safety monitoring and may involve additional tests or evaluations as needed to ensure participant well-being throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness, safety, and patient-reported outcomes of standard treatments for people with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma in real-world clinical settings. This study follows participants over 24 months to observe how current standard care works for those who have previously received treatment for this condition. The research includes participants who meet specific diagnostic criteria and have measurable disease based on recognized myeloma guidelines. The study does not involve any experimental treatment; instead, it observes patients receiving standard care as decided by their doctors. Participants include those who have undergone multiple prior therapies, including specific drug classes and targeted treatments, depending on the study period. The study covers different periods with slightly varied eligibility and treatment histories, including a group starting talquetamab treatment for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Participants will be monitored for up to 52 months to evaluate their response to treatment, including overall response rates. Researchers will collect data on their health status, treatment history, and patient-reported outcomes. Safety and effectiveness will be assessed based on clinical evaluations and disease progression as determined by their healthcare providers throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating new treatment options for people with proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) endometrial cancer (EC) that is advanced or has come back after prior treatment. This type of cancer starts in the lining of the uterus and is considered advanced when it has spread locally or to other body parts and cannot be removed by surgery. The study aims to compare the effectiveness of sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT), an antibody drug conjugate, combined with pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab alone, to see which approach helps people live longer without the cancer worsening. Participants first receive an induction phase of six cycles, each lasting three weeks, of pembrolizumab combined with carboplatin and either paclitaxel or docetaxel through intravenous infusions. Those whose cancer does not progress after this phase enter the maintenance treatment phase, where they are randomly assigned to receive either pembrolizumab plus sac-TMT or pembrolizumab alone. If the cancer does progress, participants may enter a subsequent treatment phase and be randomly assigned to pembrolizumab plus sac-TMT or sac-TMT alone. During the study, researchers monitor participants for progression-free survival and overall survival for up to approximately 44 and 54 months, respectively. Participants undergo regular imaging, assessments, and laboratory tests to evaluate cancer status and treatment effects. The study also tracks safety and tolerability throughout all phases, providing a comprehensive follow-up to understand treatment impact over time.

Researchers are evaluating the benefit of adding adjuvant durvalumab after neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with durvalumab and surgery in patients with early-stage, operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), specifically stages IIB to IIIB (N2). This international, multicenter, open-label phase III trial aims to see if additional durvalumab treatment after surgery improves disease-free survival in patients who do not achieve complete pathological response after initial therapy. The study includes patients with resectable tumors who meet specific staging and health criteria.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of standard chemotherapy combined with bevacizumab, with or without the addition of INCA33890, as the first treatment option for patients with metastatic microsatellite stable colorectal cancer. This phase 3 randomized, double-blind study focuses on patients with stage IV colorectal adenocarcinoma that cannot be cured by surgery and who have not received prior systemic treatment for their metastatic disease. Participants will receive standard-of-care chemotherapy (FOLFOX) and bevacizumab both administered at protocol-defined doses. They will be randomly assigned to also receive either INCA33890 or a placebo, with dosing also defined by the study protocol. The treatments will be given as the initial therapy for metastatic disease, aiming to compare the outcomes between the groups receiving INCA33890 and those who do not. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for progression-free survival for up to three years. Researchers will assess disease progression using measurable disease criteria and regularly evaluate participants' health status and organ function through laboratory tests. Safety and treatment response will be closely followed, with the goal of determining how well the treatments control the cancer without unacceptable side effects.

This research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of pumitamig combined with chemotherapy compared to bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy in adults with previously untreated, unresectable, or metastatic colorectal cancer. The study is a blinded, randomized Phase 2/3 trial targeting participants with histologically confirmed recurrent or metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma that cannot be cured with surgery. Participants must not have certain genetic markers such as mismatch repair deficiency, microsatellite instability-high status, or BRAF V600E mutation. Participants will receive either pumitamig or bevacizumab along with chemotherapy regimens including FOLFOX, FOLFIRI, or CAPOX at specified doses and schedules. The interventions involve administering these drugs on specified days, though exact dosing details are not provided. The study compares these two treatment combinations to assess their safety and efficacy in this patient population. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for tumor response using RECIST v1.1 criteria, progression-free survival, and overall survival for up to five years. Researchers will evaluate confirmed complete or partial tumor responses, survival rates, and disease progression. The study includes regular assessments to track treatment effects and safety over a long-term follow-up period, ensuring comprehensive monitoring of participant outcomes.

Researchers are studying the effects of etrasimod as a treatment for adults with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. The study aims to understand how etrasimod works in real-world medical practice for patients aged 18 to 64 who have not taken this medication before. Patients will be treated according to standard medical care, with etrasimod chosen as the best treatment option by their physician. All participants will receive etrasimod as prescribed in routine care. The study lasts for 52 weeks, followed by a 28-day safety follow-up. During this time, patients will visit their doctors as usual and complete health questionnaires on their own mobile phone, tablet, or computer at regular intervals. These questionnaires will help track their health and treatment effects. Participants will be assessed by comparing their disease activity before starting etrasimod to their progress during treatment. Data collected includes patient-reported outcomes via online questionnaires and clinical assessments done during regular doctor visits. The main outcomes measured are the proportion of patients who achieve symptom remission at 12 weeks and 52 weeks.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of advanced external beam radiotherapy called stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in men with high risk localized prostate cancer. This cancer is limited to the prostate but has a high chance of growing quickly or spreading. The study compares SBRT given to the prostate alone versus SBRT given to both the prostate and surrounding lymph nodes. It is a Phase III trial involving 1128 participants to see which treatment option is better and safer over at least three and a half years of follow-up. Participants receive radiotherapy in 5 visits over two weeks. Half of the men will have SBRT targeted only to the prostate, while the other half will have it directed to both the prostate and pelvic lymph nodes. The treatments are delivered at NHS radiotherapy centers experienced with SBRT and pelvic node radiotherapy. Quality assurance ensures the treatments are administered properly. During the study, men will undergo scans including multi-parametric MRI and various types of PET-CT or MRI to stage their cancer before treatment. Researchers will monitor side effects and cancer outcomes to assess safety and effectiveness. The main outcome measured is the time until biochemical or clinical failure, with a minimum follow-up of 3.5 years after randomization. Participants will be closely followed for side effects and cancer control throughout the study period.
