Researchers are studying the safety and effectiveness of intravitreal KSI-101 injections in adults with macular edema caused by inflammation, called Macular Edema Secondary to Inflammation MESI. This Phase 3 clinical trial aims to evaluate how well KSI-101 works compared to a sham injection in improving vision for people with this condition. Participants will receive one of three treatments KSI-101 at 5 mg or 10 mg doses injected into the eye every 4 weeks for six months, followed by dosing tailored to individual needs, or a sham injection following the same schedule. The study is randomized, double-masked, and controlled to ensure unbiased results. During the trial, participants will undergo vision tests to measure changes in best-corrected visual acuity BCVA over 24 weeks. Researchers will monitor safety and treatment effects throughout the study. The trial is expected to run until November 2027, with participants receiving regular assessments and follow-ups to track their eye health and response to treatment.

Researchers are conducting a Phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of intravitreal KSI-101 in adults with macular edema caused by inflammation, known as Macular Edema Secondary to Inflammation MESI. The study aims to understand how well this treatment works compared to a sham injection in improving vision and reducing eye swelling related to this condition. Participants are randomly assigned to receive one of three treatments an intravitreal injection of KSI-101 at either 5 mg or 10 mg doses once every four weeks for six months, followed by personalized dosing schedules, or a sham injection on the same schedule. The injections are given directly into the eye, and the study is double-masked to ensure unbiased results. During the study, participants will undergo regular eye exams to measure visual acuity and eye thickness using specialized imaging. The main outcome is the change in best corrected visual acuity at 24 weeks. Researchers will also monitor the proportion of participants who show improvement in vision over this period. The trial includes safety assessments and will continue until August 2027, with detailed monitoring throughout the treatment and follow-up phases.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of disitamab vedotin for treating adults with advanced breast cancer that is difficult to treat and has spread in the body. The study focuses on patients whose tumors express HER2 and who have previously received treatment for their advanced breast cancer. This open-label, non-randomized study is sponsored by Pfizer and includes multiple groups based on HER2 and hormone receptor status. All participants will receive disitamab vedotin as an intravenous infusion every two weeks at the study clinic. The treatment continues until either the participant or doctor decides to stop, which may be due to cancer progression, side effects, or personal choice. After stopping treatment, participants will have follow-up visits about every six weeks, followed by phone calls every twelve weeks to monitor their health. During the study, participants will attend visits every two weeks for treatment and assessments. Researchers will evaluate tumor response, duration of response, disease control, progression-free survival, overall survival, and drug levels in the blood. Safety will be monitored for up to two years, and participants can expect regular checkups and tests throughout the study period, which may last up to three years.

Researchers are evaluating whether adding immunotherapy drugs, brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab, to the standard chemotherapy treatment with or without radiation improves survival in patients with early-stage stage I and II classical Hodgkin lymphoma. This phase III trial compares the standard treatment alone to the combination with immunotherapy. The study also aims to assess differences in side effects, quality of life, and long-term health outcomes among patients receiving these treatments. All patients start by receiving two cycles of ABVD chemotherapy every 28 days, followed by imaging to assess their early response. Based on their risk status and response, they are placed into groups receiving different treatments some continue with standard chemotherapy, while others receive the immunotherapy drugs with or without radiation. Treatments are given intravenously on specific days and cycles, and patients undergo various scans and blood tests throughout the trial. Participants are closely monitored with periodic imaging tests such as PET, CT, MRI scans, and blood sample collections. Follow-up visits occur every three months for the first year, then less frequently up to 12 years to track progression-free survival, overall survival, treatment side effects, fatigue, cognitive function, and quality of life. Researchers also study tumor metabolism, patient-reported outcomes, and the impact of social factors on treatment results.

Researchers are evaluating two surgical procedures to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer in women with BRCA1 gene mutations. This trial compares bilateral salpingectomy, which removes the fallopian tubes, with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, which removes both fallopian tubes and ovaries. The study aims to see if the less extensive surgery is nearly as effective at lowering cancer risk and assesses effects on quality of life, menopausal symptoms, sexual function, and medical decision making. Participants choose between two groups one undergoing bilateral salpingectomy with possible delayed removal of ovaries, and the other undergoing immediate removal of both fallopian tubes and ovaries. Before surgery, patients have pelvic or transvaginal ultrasounds or pelvic MRIs and blood samples collected. Follow-up visits occur at 10 to 60 days, 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery, then annually for up to 20 years. During the study, researchers will monitor the development of ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancers over 20 years. They will also assess quality of life, cancer-related distress, menopausal and estrogen deprivation symptoms, sexual dysfunction, medical decision making, and adverse events up to 24 months after surgery. Blood samples and tissue are collected for future research. The long-term follow-up helps understand both cancer risk and patient well-being after surgery.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of the study medicine PF-07248144 combined with fulvestrant for treating hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer. This study focuses on participants whose breast cancer has worsened after prior treatment with CDK46 inhibitor-based therapy. The trial compares PF-07248144 plus fulvestrant to the current standard treatment involving everolimus and endocrine therapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will take PF-07248144 tablets daily at home in 28-day cycles along with fulvestrant injections administered at the clinic. The other group will receive everolimus tablets daily plus either exemestane tablets or fulvestrant injections, based on the study doctors choice. Treatments will continue according to the schedule for each participant. During the study, participants will undergo regular evaluations including scans to measure tumor response, lab tests, electrocardiograms, and monitoring of side effects. Researchers will track progression-free survival up to about two years, as well as overall survival and response duration up to about five years. Safety and drug levels will also be monitored throughout and after treatment. The total duration of participation may span several years depending on individual outcomes.

This research focuses on people with geographic atrophy caused by age-related macular degeneration AMD. AMD damages the macula, the light-sensitive part of the retina, leading to worsening central vision. Geographic atrophy is an advanced form where retinal cells waste away, potentially causing permanent vision loss. The study observes how patients with this condition are treated in regular medical practice, especially those receiving avacincaptad pegol, a US-approved treatment for geographic atrophy. Participants in this observational study have already decided with their doctors to begin treatment with avacincaptad pegol via intravitreal injection. The study does not assign treatment but collects information on how this drug is used, monitoring patients over time. This includes tracking treatment patterns, safety, and any medical problems linked to avacincaptad pegol. The study runs for about five years, recording ongoing care and treatment decisions. During the study, participants will have routine eye exams and complete surveys about their eye health. Surveys occur at treatment start, every six months for two years, then annually. Researchers will gather data from medical records on the number and frequency of injections, treatment duration, reasons for stopping treatment, and patient characteristics. They will also monitor vision changes and adverse events. This long-term follow-up helps understand real-world use and safety of avacincaptad pegol in geographic atrophy care.

Researchers are evaluating whether adding the immunotherapy drug durvalumab to the usual chemotherapy treatment can improve outcomes for adults with MammaPrint High 2 Risk MP2 stage II-III hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer. This phase III trial compares standard chemotherapy alone to chemotherapy combined with durvalumab. Previous evidence suggests patients with this specific cancer profile may respond better to chemotherapy and immunotherapy, so this study aims to see if durvalumab helps prevent cancer from returning. Participants are first screened with MammaPrint testing on tumor tissue to confirm MP2 status. Those eligible are then randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. One group receives paclitaxel intravenously on days 1 and 8 every 14 days for 6 cycles, followed by doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide every 14 days for 4 cycles. The other group receives the same chemotherapy schedule plus durvalumab intravenously during specific cycles. Mammography is done during screening, and optional tumor tissue and blood samples are collected throughout the study. During the trial, participants undergo regular assessments including mammograms, tissue biopsies, and blood tests to monitor response and safety. Researchers measure event-free survival, pathologic complete response, residual cancer burden, distant relapse-free survival, and overall survival for up to 10 years after treatment. Quality of life is also evaluated through questionnaires during and after treatment. Participants are followed long-term to track outcomes and side effects.

Researchers are studying advanced stomach or esophageal adenocarcinoma to see if adding the drug nivolumab to the usual treatment of paclitaxel and ramucirumab improves outcomes for patients. This phase IIIII trial compares the combination of nivolumab, paclitaxel, and ramucirumab with paclitaxel and ramucirumab alone. The study aims to assess progression-free survival and overall survival, while also evaluating response rates, disease control, safety, and quality of life. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives nivolumab intravenously on day 1 of each 28-day cycle, along with ramucirumab on days 1 and 15, and paclitaxel on days 1, 8, and 15. The other group receives ramucirumab and paclitaxel on the same schedule without nivolumab. Treatments continue unless the disease progresses or unacceptable side effects occur. Patients may also have optional blood tests, CT scans, and MRIs during the study. Throughout the trial, participants undergo regular imaging scans and optional blood sample collection to monitor disease status. After treatment ends, follow-up visits occur at 30, 60, and 90 days, then every 6 months for up to 3 years to assess survival and health. Researchers also collect patient-reported outcomes related to symptoms and quality of life during the study period.

Researchers are investigating treatments for patients with stage IV or recurring non-small cell lung cancer who have previously received platinum chemotherapy and immunotherapy. This phase IIIII trial compares the effects of adding cemiplimab, an immune system-stimulating monoclonal antibody, to the usual combination of docetaxel and ramucirumab. The goal is to see if adding cemiplimab helps the immune system better attack tumor cells and improves survival outcomes. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives docetaxel and ramucirumab along with dexamethasone, while the other group receives these same treatments plus cemiplimab. Treatments are given in cycles every 21 days, with infusions lasting from 30 minutes to an hour depending on the drug. Patients undergo regular blood sample collections and imaging scans such as CT or MRI throughout the study. During the trial, participants are monitored for overall survival, disease progression, tumor response, and side effects. After completing treatment, follow-up visits occur every 3 to 6 months for up to 3 years. Blood tests and imaging help assess treatment effects and safety. Researchers also collect and store blood and tissue samples to support future studies.
