Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of HLX22 combined with trastuzumab and chemotherapy as the first treatment for patients with HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the gastric or gastroesophageal junction. This phase 2, double-blind, randomized, and multiregional study compares this combination against trastuzumab and chemotherapy with or without pembrolizumab. The study aims to measure how well the treatments work in controlling the disease and improving survival for up to five years. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives HLX22 at 15 mg/kg every three weeks along with trastuzumab, chemotherapy (XELOX regimen), and possibly a placebo for pembrolizumab. The other group receives a placebo for HLX22 plus trastuzumab, chemotherapy (XELOX), and possibly pembrolizumab every three weeks. Treatment continues until the disease worsens, unacceptable side effects occur, withdrawal of consent, or other protocol-specified reasons. Throughout the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including tumor scans reviewed by an independent committee to evaluate progression-free survival and overall survival over up to five years. Other evaluations include safety monitoring and organ function tests. The study tracks how long patients live without disease progression and overall survival, aiming to better understand the benefits and risks of HLX22 combined with current standard treatments.

Researchers are evaluating whether adding intismeran autogene to pembrolizumab after surgery can help people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain cancer-free longer compared to pembrolizumab with a placebo. This study focuses on patients with NSCLC whose tumors did not completely respond to treatment before surgery and aims to prevent the cancer from returning. It is a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind study involving participants with resectable Stage II to IIIB (N2) NSCLC. Participants receive treatments including pembrolizumab given as an intravenous infusion and either intismeran autogene or placebo administered as an intramuscular injection. Before surgery, patients have received neoadjuvant pembrolizumab combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, but only those who did not achieve a complete pathological response are eligible. The study compares the effects of pembrolizumab with or without intismeran autogene following surgery. During the study, participants are closely monitored for disease-free survival over a period of up to approximately 97 months. Researchers will assess whether the cancer returns and evaluate overall safety. Participants undergo regular evaluations including clinical assessments and laboratory tests to monitor their health and treatment response throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of adding Tersolisib (LY4064809/STX-478) to other anti-cancer drugs as the first treatment for adults with advanced hormone receptor-positive (HR+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer. This phase 3 study focuses on participants whose cancer has a specific genetic change called a PIK3CA mutation and who have not received prior treatment for advanced breast cancer. The study aims to understand how well this treatment combination works and its safety over time. Participants will receive Tersolisib or a placebo, combined with a CDK4/6 inhibitor (Ribociclib, Palbociclib, or Abemaciclib) and endocrine therapy (Anastrozole, Letrozole, Exemestane, or Fulvestrant). All drugs are given orally except for Fulvestrant, which is given by injection into the muscle. The study includes two parts: Part 1 allows participants who have had up to two prior treatments for advanced breast cancer, including chemotherapy; Part 2 includes those with no prior treatment for advanced disease and classifies them as endocrine sensitive or resistant based on their cancer history. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed for cancer response, progression-free survival, and side effects. Researchers will monitor measurable disease or bone involvement and track overall response rates, including complete or partial tumor shrinkage. The study will continue as long as the treatment is helping without causing unbearable side effects. Follow-up may last up to five years to observe long-term outcomes and safety.

Researchers are evaluating whether adding immunotherapy drugs brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab to standard chemotherapy, with or without radiation, can improve survival for patients aged 5 to 60 years with newly diagnosed stage I or II classical Hodgkin lymphoma. This phase III trial compares outcomes in groups based on their early response to initial chemotherapy, aiming to understand if immunotherapy can lead to better progression-free survival and overall survival compared to standard treatment alone. The study also looks at side effects, quality of life, and long-term health impacts across different patient groups. Participants first receive two cycles of standard ABVD chemotherapy every 28 days, followed by imaging to classify their response as rapid or slow early responders and their risk status as favorable or unfavorable. Based on these factors, patients are assigned to one of eight treatment arms that include either continued standard chemotherapy regimens or immunotherapy with brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab, sometimes combined with involved-site radiation therapy. Treatments are given intravenously or orally depending on the drugs, and cycles typically last 28 days. Imaging and blood samples are collected regularly throughout the study. Throughout the trial, participants undergo frequent scans such as FDG-PET, CT, MRI, and PET-CT to monitor their disease status. Blood samples and questionnaires assess treatment effects and quality of life. After completing treatment, patients have scheduled follow-up visits every 3 months for the first year, then every 6 months for two years, and annually up to 12 years to track long-term outcomes, side effects, and survival. The main measurements focus on progression-free survival, overall survival, treatment-related adverse events, and patient-reported experiences.

Researchers are evaluating two treatment combinations for patients with melanoma that has spread to the brain and has a specific BRAF-V600 mutation. This phase II trial compares encorafenib, binimetinib, and nivolumab against ipilimumab and nivolumab to determine which approach better controls and shrinks brain metastases from melanoma. The study also aims to assess overall survival, response rates, treatment duration, and side effects of each regimen. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives encorafenib orally once daily, binimetinib orally twice daily, and nivolumab intravenously every 28 days. The other group receives nivolumab intravenously and ipilimumab intravenously during the first four cycles, with cycles every 21 days initially, then every 28 days thereafter. Treatment continues unless the disease worsens or side effects become unacceptable. After treatment ends, participants have follow-up visits every six months for two years, then yearly until three years after starting the study. During the trial, participants undergo brain MRIs to monitor tumor response using standardized criteria. Imaging, tumor tissue, spinal fluid, stool, and blood samples are collected for research. Safety and effectiveness are carefully assessed through scans, physical exams, lab tests, and side effect monitoring. Progression-free survival up to three years after randomization is the main outcome. Participants remain in the study for about three years with periodic evaluations to track their health and disease status.

Researchers are evaluating the study medicine elranatamab alone and in combination with daratumumab for people with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received prior treatments including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor. The study aims to compare elranatamab to a combination therapy of daratumumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone, while also assessing the safety and activity of elranatamab with daratumumab. This is an open-label, phase 3 randomized trial involving multiple centers. The study includes three parts. Part 1 evaluates the safety and activity of different doses of elranatamab combined with daratumumab. In Part 2, participants are randomly assigned to receive either elranatamab alone, elranatamab with daratumumab, or the combination of daratumumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone. Part 3 investigates the effect of increased infection protection measures in participants treated with elranatamab alone or with daratumumab. All drugs are given by either subcutaneous injection or orally depending on the medication. Participants will receive study treatment until their disease worsens, unacceptable side effects occur, or they decide to stop. Researchers will monitor safety by tracking dose limiting toxicities during the first 42 days after starting elranatamab and treatment-emergent adverse events during the first 84 days. Progression-free survival will be assessed up to 51 months after randomization. Throughout the study, participants will undergo regular assessments to evaluate treatment safety and effectiveness.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of active surveillance and chemotherapy treatments in pediatric, adolescent, and adult patients with low risk and standard risk germ cell tumors. This phase III trial focuses on monitoring patients after tumor removal and comparing the outcomes of carboplatin-based versus cisplatin-based chemotherapy regimens. The study aims to maintain high overall survival rates for low risk patients and to compare event-free survival between the two chemotherapy options in standard risk patients. Additional objectives include assessing side effects such as hearing loss and neuropathy, and exploring tumor marker changes and other biological measures related to treatment outcomes. Patients with low risk stage I germ cell tumors undergo surgery followed by observation, with the option to transfer to standard risk treatment if the tumor recurs. Those with standard risk tumors are randomly assigned to one of four chemotherapy regimens combining bleomycin, etoposide, carboplatin, or cisplatin. Treatments are given intravenously on specific schedules every 21 days for up to 3 or 4 cycles, depending on the group. Throughout the trial, patients receive imaging scans, blood tests, tumor biopsies if needed, and pulmonary function tests to monitor treatment response and side effects. Participants are closely followed after treatment completion with regular visits every 2 months for the first year, then less frequently up to 10 years. Researchers collect data through imaging, blood samples, lung tests, and questionnaires to measure survival, disease recurrence, and side effects like hearing loss. The study also includes exploratory analyses of tumor markers and patient-reported outcomes to better understand treatment impacts and improve future care for germ cell tumor patients.

Researchers are investigating the addition of an immunotherapy drug called durvalumab to standard chemotherapy treatment in patients with MammaPrint High 2 Risk (MP2) stage II-III hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer. This phase III trial aims to compare the effectiveness of usual chemotherapy alone versus chemotherapy combined with durvalumab. Immunotherapy with durvalumab may help the immune system attack cancer cells and prevent tumor growth and spread, while chemotherapy drugs like paclitaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide work to stop cancer cells from growing or dividing. Previous studies suggest patients with an MP2 result might respond better to this combined treatment approach. Participants first undergo MammaPrint testing to confirm MP2 status before randomization into two groups. One group receives paclitaxel intravenously on days 1 and 8 every 14 days for 6 cycles, followed by doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide intravenously on day 1 every 14 days for 4 cycles. The other group receives the same chemotherapy schedule plus durvalumab intravenously over 60 minutes on specified cycles during both chemotherapy phases. Mammography is performed during screening, and optional tissue and blood samples are collected for future studies. Throughout the study, participants are monitored through various assessments including imaging, physical exams, laboratory tests, and quality of life questionnaires focusing on fatigue and physical and mental health. Researchers track breast cancer event-free survival and other outcomes such as treatment side effects and response rates. After completing treatment, patients are followed for up to 10 years or until death to evaluate long-term outcomes and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the addition of nivolumab to the usual treatment of paclitaxel and ramucirumab in patients with advanced or locally unresectable stomach or esophageal adenocarcinoma. This phase II/III trial aims to determine if adding nivolumab improves progression-free survival and overall survival compared to paclitaxel and ramucirumab alone. The study also assesses response rates, disease control, safety, tolerability, and quality of life in participants with PD-L1 CPS 21 1 advanced gastric or esophageal cancer. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. The first group receives nivolumab IV on day 1 of each 28-day cycle, ramucirumab IV on days 1 and 15, and paclitaxel IV on days 1, 8, and 15. The second group receives ramucirumab IV on days 1 and 15 and paclitaxel IV on days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle. Treatment continues every 28 days until disease progression or unacceptable side effects occur. Optional blood samples may be collected during the study. Imaging with CT and MRI is performed throughout. Participants undergo scans and assessments at baseline and during treatment to monitor cancer progression and treatment effects. They also complete questionnaires on quality of life and symptoms. After treatment ends, participants are followed up at 30, 60, and 90 days and then every 6 months for up to 3 years. Researchers measure progression-free survival and overall survival as primary outcomes, along with other safety and patient-reported measures.

This research evaluates the combination of two drugs, cabozantinib and nivolumab, in treating patients with advanced melanoma or squamous cell cancers of the head and neck that have spread locally or to distant parts of the body. The study focuses on how well patients can be grouped based on specific tumor biomarkers called tumor mutational burden and tumor inflammation signature. It also aims to understand if this drug combination can shrink or stabilize tumors and how responses vary with biomarker status. This is a phase II trial assessing both the feasibility of biomarker-based patient grouping and the treatment's overall response rate. Participants receive nivolumab intravenously once every 28-day cycle and take cabozantinib orally every day for up to two years unless the disease worsens or side effects become unacceptable. The study includes two stages focusing on molecular characterization and treatment efficacy. Patients undergo tumor biopsies at screening and optionally during follow-up, along with regular imaging scans like CT or MRI and blood sample collections throughout the study. During the trial, patients are closely monitored through scans, blood tests, and biopsies to track tumor response and safety. After treatment ends, follow-up visits occur every 12 weeks for one year and then every six months for up to three years. Key outcomes include the time to get biomarker results within 21 days and the overall tumor response rate at the end of the first stage. The study also assesses disease control, progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety of the drug combination in relation to tumor biomarkers.
