Researchers are evaluating new treatment options for adults with locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery and has a specific KRAS G12C gene mutation. This study compares the safety and effectiveness of adding calderasib and cetuximab, both targeted therapies, to a standard chemotherapy regimen called mFOLFOX6. The goal is to see if this combination can help patients live longer without their cancer growing or spreading compared to current treatments that may include mFOLFOX6 with or without bevacizumab. The study has two parts. It involves treatment with calderasib taken as an oral tablet, cetuximab given according to standard procedures, and mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy combining oxaliplatin, leucovorin/levofolinate calcium, and 5-fluorouracil. Some participants may receive bevacizumab or a bevacizumab biosimilar as part of the comparison. The treatments are given following approved dosing schedules. This design allows researchers to assess the safety and tolerability of these drug combinations in treating this type of colorectal cancer with the KRAS G12C mutation. Participants will be monitored for side effects, treatment tolerability, and cancer progression over a period that may last up to about 44 months. Researchers will track outcomes such as how many participants experience dose-limiting toxicities or adverse events, how many stop treatment due to side effects, and progression-free survival time. Assessments include health evaluations, laboratory tests, and imaging to observe cancer status. This long-term follow-up aims to understand both safety and effectiveness of the treatment combinations.

Researchers are studying a new treatment for HIV-1 infection that combines two medicines, islatravir and ulonivirine, taken once weekly. The goal is to see if this new study treatment works as well as the standard antiretroviral therapy (ART), which usually involves taking up to three medicines once or twice daily. This research also aims to learn about the safety and tolerability of the study treatment compared to the standard ART. The study compares the once-weekly combination of islatravir and ulonivirine with the standard daily treatment of bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF). Participants will take either the study drugs or the standard drugs for 96 weeks. Some participants may receive matching placebos as part of the study design. The treatment is given orally as capsules or tablets according to the assigned group. Participants will be monitored throughout the study with regular assessments, including measuring the amount of HIV-1 virus in the blood to see if it is suppressed below 50 copies/mL at weeks 24 and 48. The study will also track any side effects or adverse events and whether participants stop the treatment due to these events. Overall, the study lasts about 96 weeks, with ongoing safety and effectiveness evaluations to understand how well the treatments work and how safe they are over time.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for metastatic cervical cancer, which is cancer that has spread from the cervix to other parts of the body. This Phase 3 study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of combining sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT), an antibody drug that targets cancer cells, with pembrolizumab and bevacizumab. The study seeks to find out if this combination can help people live longer or keep their cancer from worsening compared to standard treatments. The study has two parts. In Part 1, participants receive sac-TMT together with pembrolizumab and bevacizumab to assess safety. In Part 2, after standard initial treatment, those whose cancer does not progress will be randomly assigned to maintenance treatment with either pembrolizumab alone or sac-TMT plus pembrolizumab. Bevacizumab may be added during maintenance treatment based on the doctor's decision. All treatments are given through intravenous infusions, and participants may receive rescue medications to manage side effects before sac-TMT infusion. Participants will be monitored for adverse events and treatment tolerability over several months. The study measures include progression-free survival and overall survival, assessed by independent review. Safety and treatment continuation rates are tracked during Part 1 for up to approximately 66-69 months, while Part 2 outcome measures extend up to 48-60 months. Various assessments, including laboratory tests and evaluations of cancer status, will be performed throughout the study to understand treatment effects and participant well-being.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of Alpha DaRT-224, a novel treatment for patients with recurrent cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma who have not responded to standard therapies and are not candidates for surgery or standard radiation. This multicenter, pivotal, single-arm, open-label clinical study aims to determine the objective response rate and duration of response following treatment, as well as assess progression-free survival, overall survival, local tumor control, and quality of life. The treatment involves placing DaRT seeds, which contain a radium-224 source that releases alpha-emitting atoms, directly into the tumor. These seeds remain in the tumor for 14 to 21 days before being removed. The procedure is planned using radiotherapy parameters and monitored with volumetric imaging to ensure proper placement and coverage of the tumor. Participants will undergo evaluations including CT scans and blood tests before and during the study. Researchers will measure tumor response from day 14 through 52 weeks after treatment and monitor safety by tracking adverse events related to the device. The study also includes assessments of quality of life and long-term outcomes over several months. Participants are followed closely to document tumor changes, side effects, and overall health during the study period.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of Xeomin injections in preventing chronic migraine. This Phase 3 clinical trial compares Xeomin to placebo injections given into muscles of the head and neck. Participants have chronic migraine diagnosed for at least 12 months and meet specific headache and migraine day criteria. The study aims to measure changes in monthly migraine days over time with Xeomin treatment. Participants will receive four treatments spaced about 12 weeks apart over a total study duration of 52 to 55 weeks. The treatments involve injections of either Xeomin or placebo solution prepared with sodium chloride. Visits occur approximately every 4 weeks, totaling 14 visits: the first, last, and four treatment visits are on-site, while the other eight visits are remote via phone or video call. During the study, participants will keep headache diaries to track migraine and headache days. Researchers will focus on the change in monthly migraine days from baseline to six months after the first injection. Safety and effectiveness are monitored throughout, with frequent assessments during both on-site and remote visits to ensure accurate tracking of migraine symptoms and any side effects.

Researchers are evaluating the effect of Xeomin injections compared to placebo injections for preventing episodic migraine. This phase 3 clinical trial focuses on adults who experience episodic migraine, aiming to measure changes in the number of migraine days per month. Participants must have a diagnosis of episodic migraine for at least 12 months and meet specific headache frequency criteria. Participants will receive four treatments of either Xeomin or placebo injections into muscles of the head and neck, with treatments spaced about 12 weeks apart. The entire trial lasts approximately 52 to 55 weeks, beginning with a screening period of 4 to 5 weeks. There are about 14 visits in total, with the first, last, and four treatment visits conducted on-site, while the other visits are held remotely via phone or video. Throughout the study, participants will track their migraine days using a headache diary, and researchers will assess changes in monthly migraine frequency from baseline to six months after the first injection. Regular monitoring includes both in-person and remote assessments. The primary outcome focuses on the change in monthly migraine days between baseline and month six after treatment initiation.

The trial investigates the use of volrustomig in participants with unresected locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) who have not shown disease progression after receiving definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT). The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of volrustomig compared to observation in this patient population. Participants have tumors that express PD-L1 and the study is conducted as a Phase III, randomized, open-label, multi-center global trial. Participants are assigned to receive either volrustomig as sequential therapy following cCRT or to an observation group. The treatment period involves monitoring participants who have completed definitive cCRT but remain unresected and have no evidence of metastatic disease. The study focuses on participants with Stage III, IVA, or IVB LA-HNSCC according to AJCC criteria, who have not undergone tumor resection before cCRT and have not been treated with radiotherapy alone. During the study, participants are regularly evaluated for progression-free survival, with follow-up lasting up to approximately 8 years to assess long-term outcomes. Researchers will monitor safety and disease progression closely. The overall participation duration includes screening, treatment or observation, and extended follow-up to capture both efficacy and safety data over time.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, tolerability, how the body processes, and effectiveness of TERN-701, a selective allosteric inhibitor targeting BCR-ABL1, in adults with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) who have been previously treated. The study is divided into two parts: Part 1 focuses on dose escalation to find safe dosage levels, and Part 2 involves randomized dose expansion to further assess the chosen doses and includes a mutation cohort for participants with certain resistance mutations. Participants in both parts will take TERN-701 orally once daily in 28-day cycles. Part 1 involves sequential dose escalation cohorts, while Part 2 evaluates two recommended dose levels selected from Part 1. The mutation cohort (Part 2m) will assess a specific 500 mg dose in participants with particular resistance mutations. Scheduled visits occur frequently during the first treatment cycle and then regularly throughout the study to monitor treatment effects. During the study, participants will have regular visits for evaluations including safety checks and laboratory tests. Researchers will measure dose-limiting toxicities, adverse events, hematologic response, molecular response, and changes in BCR-ABL1 transcript levels up to three years. The trial plans to enroll about 180 participants, with up to 80 in Part 1, about 80 in Part 2, and around 20 in the mutation cohort. All participants will receive the active treatment throughout the study duration.

Researchers are evaluating zanidatamab, a drug administered through intravenous infusion, for its safety and effectiveness in treating adults with solid tumors that overexpress the HER2 protein. This includes various cancers such as breast, gastric, esophageal, colorectal, lung, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers. The study is a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter trial focusing on participants who have previously received treatment but have limited options available. Participants will receive zanidatamab and be monitored for its effects on their tumors. To be eligible, participants must have HER2 overexpression confirmed by a central lab, measurable tumors, and meet specific health criteria including performance status and organ function. The study excludes those with certain infections, prior treatments with HER2 therapies in some groups, or serious medical conditions. The trial allows participants with treated and stable brain metastases under defined conditions. During the study, researchers will regularly assess tumor response using imaging reviewed centrally, following RECIST 1.1 criteria, over a period of up to 2.5 years. Additional evaluations include health status, safety monitoring, and laboratory tests. Participants must agree to pregnancy prevention measures if applicable. The study aims to measure the confirmed objective response rate to zanidatamab and monitor safety throughout the treatment period.

Researchers are studying the effects of zelquistinel, a drug being evaluated for treating major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults aged 18 to 64 years. This Phase 2 clinical trial aims to find out if zelquistinel can reduce depression symptoms compared to a placebo and to assess its safety. Participants diagnosed with MDD and meeting specific severity criteria will be enrolled to better understand the drug's impact on depression scores and potential side effects. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either zelquistinel or a placebo tablet once a week for six weeks. The study is double-blind and placebo-controlled, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives the active drug. The trial includes up to 28 days of screening, a 42-day treatment period with weekly clinic visits, and a 4-week follow-up phase. During visits, depression severity is measured using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 (HDRS-17). Throughout the study, participants will attend weekly clinic visits for depression assessments and monitoring of adverse events. Researchers will track changes in depression scores from baseline to six weeks to evaluate effectiveness. Safety evaluations and follow-up assessments continue for four weeks after treatment. The total participation time may last up to 98 days, including screening, treatment, and follow-up.
