Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of volrustomig compared to observation in participants with unresected locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma LA-HNSCC who have not progressed after receiving definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy cCRT. This phase III, randomized, open-label global study aims to assess whether volrustomig can improve outcomes in this patient population. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups those who receive volrustomig as sequential therapy, and those who undergo observation without additional treatment. The study compares these two approaches following prior curative concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The trial includes long-term follow-up to monitor patient outcomes. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed for progression-free survival, overall survival, physical functioning, and quality of life. Researchers will also monitor for the presence of anti-drug antibodies and adverse events related to volrustomig. Follow-up evaluations may continue for up to approximately eight years to fully understand the treatment impact and safety profile.

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of AZD1163, a new bispecific antibody, in adults with moderately-to-severely active rheumatoid arthritis RA who are positive for anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies ACPA. The study focuses on patients who have had an inadequate or lost response or intolerance to certain standard treatments. The trial is a Phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted at multiple centers to assess AZD1163s impact on RA disease activity. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups to receive subcutaneous injections of either one of three doses of AZD1163 or a matching placebo. All participants will continue their standard care treatments, which may include conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs csDMARDs or tumor necrosis factor inhibitors TNFi with or without csDMARDs. The treatment period lasts 24 weeks, followed by a 28-week safety follow-up phase. Throughout the study, participants will undergo assessments including disease activity scores such as DAS28-CRP, American College of Rheumatology response criteria ACR20 and ACR50, and clinical disease activity indexes. Researchers will also evaluate the pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of AZD1163. Safety monitoring continues during the follow-up period, and total participation spans approximately 52 weeks.

Researchers are studying patients with newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC, including early stage, locally advanced, and metastatic forms, who have not yet received treatment. This observational study aims to understand how biomarker testing is used in community cancer care, the barriers to testing, and how test results influence treatment choices. The study focuses on real-world outcomes and aims to improve biomarker testing rates to guide therapy decisions more effectively across diverse practice settings. The study does not involve experimental treatment but follows patients as they receive standard care, including biomarker testing and systemic therapy as recommended by their healthcare providers. Participants are enrolled within 30 days of starting systemic therapy and their clinical journey is monitored over time. The study will track the type and timing of biomarker tests, the treatments selected based on these tests, and reasons why testing or biomarker-directed therapy may not be done. Participants will have their medical records reviewed and data collected regarding their cancer diagnosis, biomarker testing, treatment plans, and outcomes for up to five years after enrollment. Researchers will measure the proportion of patients receiving biomarker test results before treatment, compare single-gene tests to comprehensive biomarker testing, and identify barriers to testing. Practice characteristics and patient care patterns in community settings will also be evaluated to provide insights into improving lung cancer management.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of Adagrasib alone and in combination with pembrolizumab for patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has a KRAS G12C mutation. The study includes a Phase 2 portion that assesses these treatments in patients with various PD-L1 tumor proportion scores TPS and a Phase 3 portion that compares Adagrasib plus pembrolizumab to pembrolizumab alone in patients with higher PD-L1 TPS 50%. The goal is to understand how these treatments work as first-line therapy in this patient population. Treatment involves Adagrasib administered orally twice daily BID either alone or combined with pembrolizumab, which is given intravenously at 200 mg every three weeks. Phase 2 includes three cohorts based on PD-L1 status and treatment type, while Phase 3 randomly assigns patients to receive either the combination or pembrolizumab alone. Patients with unresectable or metastatic squamous or nonsquamous NSCLC are included, with specific brain metastases criteria for Phase 3 participants. Participants will be monitored over periods of up to 22 months in Phase 2 and 36 months in Phase 3. Assessments include measuring treatment efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, quality of life, and tumor response using RECIST 1.1 criteria. Regular evaluations involve imaging, clinical exams, and patient-reported outcomes. The study aims to provide detailed information on treatment tolerability and effectiveness during and after therapy.

Researchers are evaluating whether the combination of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy SG and pembrolizumab given after surgery is effective and safe compared to the treatment of physicians choice TPC in adults with triple negative breast cancer that remains after surgery and pre-surgical therapy. This phase 3 trial focuses on participants who have residual invasive disease following neoadjuvant therapy and surgery. The study aims to better understand outcomes for this condition where cancer persists despite earlier treatments. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives SG intravenously at 10 mgkg on Days 1 and 8 of 21-day cycles along with pembrolizumab 200 mg intravenously on Day 1, repeated for up to 8 cycles. The other group receives physicians choice treatment pembrolizumab alone or pembrolizumab combined with oral capecitabine, also given over 8 cycles. Treatment continues until 8 cycles are completed, disease recurrence, unacceptable side effects, or other specified reasons. During the study, participants are monitored for invasive disease-free survival up to 60 months, along with overall survival, distant disease-free survival, recurrence-free survival, and quality of life measures. Safety is assessed through tracking treatment-related adverse events and laboratory tests for up to 38 months plus 30 days. This long-term follow-up helps evaluate the impact of the treatments on disease outcomes and participant well-being.
