Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of a gene therapy called 4D-150 in adults aged 50 years and older with neovascular wet age-related macular degeneration AMD who are currently receiving anti-VEGF treatments and have shown a positive response. This Phase 12 trial includes a dose-escalation stage, a randomized controlled expansion phase, and additional cohorts to optimize steroid use and extend the population studied. The study also includes substudies to assess dosing safety in the opposite eye and to examine vector shedding. Participants receive a single injection of 4D-150 into the eye on Day 1 at assigned dose levels. Some participants receive aflibercept injections as an active comparator. Following the injection, participants are monitored monthly for 24 months to track safety and treatment effects. Those who receive 4D-150 enter a long-term follow-up period lasting up to five years to evaluate extended safety and the duration of the gene therapys activity. The substudies include one-time dosing in the contralateral eye and assessments of vector shedding, with safety monitored for one year and continued follow-up through five years. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular eye function and structure tests, including visual acuity and retinal thickness measurements using imaging technologies. Researchers track adverse events and the need for additional aflibercept injections, as well as changes in vision and retinal health. Participants must comply with study procedures and agree to use barrier methods during and after treatment to prevent fluid transmission. The study ensures comprehensive safety monitoring, with evaluations continuing for up to five years after treatment administration.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, side effects, and best dose of the drug SNDX-5613 combined with standard chemotherapy in patients newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia AML that has specific genetic changes in the NPM1, MLLKMT2A, or NUP98 genes. This phase Ib trial focuses on patients aged 18 to 75 who are eligible for intensive induction therapy and aims to find the recommended dose for further studies while assessing the treatments effects on cancer cell behavior and response. Participants receive a combination treatment starting with induction therapy where SNDX-5613 is given orally twice daily from days 2 to 28, along with daunorubicin intravenously on days 1 to 3, and cytarabine by continuous infusion on days 1 to 7. Those who respond move on to consolidation treatment with cycles of SNDX-5613 and cytarabine every 42 days for up to three cycles. Patients with persistent disease may receive re-induction therapy. Various scans, blood tests, and bone marrow biopsies are done throughout these treatment phases to monitor progress and safety. During the study, participants undergo regular evaluations including heart scans echocardiogram or MUGA, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy before, during, and after treatment phases, and blood collections at specific times. Researchers measure recommended doses, treatment responses, drug levels in the body, and explore biomarkers related to treatment effectiveness and resistance. Follow-up continues for up to two years after treatment to observe long-term outcomes such as disease relapse or survival.

Researchers are conducting a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled phase I clinical study to compare HLX17 and US-sourced Keytruda in patients with resected non-small cell lung cancer, melanoma, or renal cell carcinoma. The study aims to evaluate how similar the pharmacokinetic profiles, efficacy, safety, and immune responses are between these two treatments in this patient population. Participants will receive either HLX17 or US-sourced Keytruda. Those in the HLX17 group will get 200 mg on Day 1 of every 3-week cycle for up to 12 months or until disease recurrence, death, new anti-tumor therapy, unacceptable toxicity, consent withdrawal, or study end. The Keytruda group will receive 200 mg every 3 weeks for 8 cycles 24 weeks, then switch to HLX17 on the same schedule until 12 months or similar conditions occur. During the study, participants will undergo various assessments including pharmacokinetic measurements such as drug concentration over time and at steady state, disease-free survival evaluation for up to 12 months, and monitoring for adverse events and laboratory abnormalities for up to 15 months. Safety follow-up includes vital signs, physical exams, ECGs, and immunogenicity evaluation. The total study duration includes treatment and safety monitoring phases.

Researchers are evaluating HLX22 combined with trastuzumab and chemotherapy as a first-line treatment for patients with HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the gastric or gastroesophageal junction. This phase 3, randomized, double-blind study compares this combination against trastuzumab plus chemotherapy with or without pembrolizumab. The trial aims to assess the efficacy and safety of adding HLX22 in this patient population. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 11 ratio to either the experimental group receiving HLX22 15 mgkg plus trastuzumab and chemotherapy XELOX with or without a placebo for pembrolizumab every three weeks, or the control group receiving placebo for HLX22 plus trastuzumab and chemotherapy XELOX with or without pembrolizumab also every three weeks. Treatment continues until clinical benefit is lost, intolerable side effects occur, death, withdrawal, or other protocol-specified reasons. Throughout the study, participants will have their disease progression monitored by an independent radiology review committee using RECIST v1.1 criteria for up to five years, along with overall survival and response rates. Safety will be regularly assessed by tracking adverse events. The study includes multiple assessments to evaluate treatment effects, and participants will be followed for long-term outcomes during the trial period.

Researchers are studying the treatment of accelerated or blast phase Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms MPNs, a type of blood cancer, by comparing two drug regimens. This phase II trial evaluates whether combining ASTX727, which includes the drugs cedazuridine and decitabine, with iadademstat is more effective than ASTX727 alone. ASTX727 works by helping bone marrow produce normal blood cells and attacking abnormal ones, while iadademstat may stop tumor growth by blocking enzymes needed for cell growth. Patients are randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. One group takes ASTX727 orally once daily for five days in a 28-day cycle. The other group takes ASTX727 on the same schedule plus iadademstat orally on days 1-5, 8-12, 15-19, and 22-26 of each 28-day cycle. Treatment cycles continue unless the disease progresses or side effects are unacceptable. During the study, patients provide buccal swabs, blood samples, and bone marrow samples for analysis. Participants are monitored throughout treatment with various tests including blood and bone marrow examinations. After stopping treatment for reasons other than disease progression, patients have follow-up visits every three months if they stop due to progression, follow-up occurs every six months. Researchers measure the rate of complete acute leukemia response within four treatment cycles and track event-free survival, overall survival, and stem cell transplantation rates over up to two years.

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 the safety and effectiveness of Raludotatug Deruxtecan R-DXd in adults with platinum-resistant, high-grade ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. This study includes a Phase 2 dose-optimization part to find the best dose based on safety and effectiveness, followed by a Phase 3 part comparing R-DXd to chemotherapy chosen by the investigator. The study targets tumors that overexpress CDH6, a protein that R-DXd specifically binds to. Participants are randomly assigned to receive intravenous R-DXd at various doses every three weeks or an investigators choice of chemotherapy drugs including paclitaxel, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, or topotecan. The Phase 2 portion focuses on determining the optimal dose, while the Phase 3 portion compares the recommended dose with standard chemotherapy. Treatments are given through IV infusions according to the assigned group. During the study, participants undergo scheduled visits for drug administration, safety monitoring, and evaluations including imaging scans to assess tumor response. Researchers measure outcomes such as objective response rate, progression-free survival, overall survival, duration of response, symptom changes, and pharmacokinetics over periods up to 40 months. Safety is closely monitored through adverse event tracking and laboratory tests, with participants followed until the studys completion in 2030.

Researchers are studying ML-007C-MA to assess its safety and effectiveness in treating hallucinations and delusions in adults aged 55 to 90 who have Alzheimers Disease Psychosis ADP. This phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial aims to compare ML-007C-MA with a placebo by measuring changes in specific symptoms using the Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Clinician NPI-C Hallucinations and Delusions score. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either ML-007C-MA at doses of 1051.5 mg or 2103 mg twice daily, or placebo tablets. The treatment period lasts 7 weeks, during which the study will monitor symptom changes and safety. The study includes adults with confirmed ADP and psychotic symptoms who have a designated care partner to help with symptom reporting and medication adherence. Throughout the trial, participants will undergo assessments including the NPI-C Hallucinations and Delusions score, Clinical Global Impressions-Severity CGI-S scale, and Mini-mental State Examination MMSE. These evaluations occur at the start and end of the 7-week treatment to measure symptom changes. Safety monitoring and adherence tracking will be part of the study, which is scheduled to complete by December 2027.

Researchers are evaluating treatments for patients with BRAF-V600 mutant melanoma that has spread to the brain. This phase II trial compares two combinations encorafenib, binimetinib, and nivolumab versus ipilimumab and nivolumab. The study aims to determine which approach is more effective at shrinking and controlling brain metastases, and it also examines survival, response rates, and treatment safety. Patients are randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. One group takes encorafenib daily by mouth, binimetinib twice daily by mouth, and receives nivolumab through an intravenous IV infusion every 28 days. The other group receives nivolumab IV every cycle and ipilimumab IV over 30 minutes during the first four cycles, with cycles repeating every 21 days initially, then every 28 days. Treatment continues unless disease worsens or side effects become unacceptable. Participants undergo brain MRI scans before enrollment and throughout the study to assess tumor response using specific criteria. After completing treatment, patients are followed every six months for two years, then yearly up to three years. The study collects tissue, blood, spinal fluid, and stool samples for future research. Researchers monitor progression-free survival as the main outcome, along with overall survival, response rates, and treatment side effects.

Researchers are studying two surgical procedures to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer in women with BRCA1 genetic mutations. This trial compares bilateral salpingectomy, which removes only the fallopian tubes, with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, which removes both fallopian tubes and ovaries. The goal is to find out if removing just the fallopian tubes with delayed ovary removal is nearly as effective as removing both from the start. Participants choose between two groups one undergoes bilateral salpingectomy with the option of later ovary removal, and the other undergoes bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Both groups have imaging tests like pelvic ultrasounds or pelvic MRIs during screening and provide blood samples throughout the study. Follow-up visits occur at multiple time points, including 10 to 60 days, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, and then yearly for up to 20 years. During the study, researchers track if ovarian or related cancers develop and assess symptoms related to estrogen loss, quality of life, cancer-related distress, sexual function, menopausal symptoms, medical decision making, and any adverse events. Various questionnaires and imaging tests support these evaluations. Long-term safety and cancer risk reduction are monitored for up to two decades after surgery.
