Researchers are evaluating the experimental antibody COM701 to see if it can delay the progression of relapsed platinum sensitive ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer. The trial aims to find out if COM701, given as maintenance treatment, can slow disease progression, delay the need for new anti-cancer treatments, and to understand its safety profile in participants who have had prior platinum-containing therapies. This trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study where participants have a 67% chance to receive COM701 and a 33% chance to receive a placebo. The treatment is given through intravenous infusion once every three weeks. The study includes multiple sub-studies, with initial focus on COM701 alone and later evaluation of COM701 combined with other anti-cancer drugs as maintenance therapy. Participants will visit the clinic every three weeks for treatment infusion and undergo various health checks including physical exams, vital signs, ECG, blood and urine tests, and pregnancy tests if applicable. Disease response is monitored through tumor imaging by CT or MRI scans and analysis of tumor tissue samples. The main outcome is progression-free survival over up to two years, with safety monitored during and up to 90 days after treatment. The study duration and follow-up depend on individual participant progress.

Researchers are evaluating BGB-16673, an oral drug, in adults with various types of B-cell malignancies such as marginal zone lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Waldenstrm macroglobulinemia, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and Richters transformation. This study includes Phase 1 dose finding and safety expansion, followed by Phase 2 expansion cohorts to determine recommended doses and further assess safety and efficacy. The study is divided into several parts, starting with Phase 1 dose escalation to find safe dosage levels, including monotherapy dose escalation and safety expansion in selected doses. Phase 2 involves expansion cohorts where participants receive the recommended doses identified in Phase 1 for further safety and efficacy evaluation. Some cohorts include participants who have not received prior BTK inhibitors, and Japanese participants are also enrolled to assess safety. Treatments are orally administered. Participants will undergo regular assessments including monitoring for adverse events, disease response, and drug concentration levels in the blood at various time points. Researchers will measure outcomes such as overall response rate and progression-free survival over approximately three years. Safety and tolerability will be closely tracked, and quality of life questionnaires will be completed at scheduled intervals. Participation may last several years, including follow-up periods to monitor long-term effects.

Researchers are studying the use of unlicensed cryopreserved cord blood units CBUs for transplantation in both children and adults with blood cancers and other related disorders. This observational study involves patients with hematologic malignancies and various inherited and acquired disorders affecting the blood and immune system. The main goal is to monitor how well neutrophil recovery occurs after transplantation using these unlicensed CBUs in multiple institutions. Participants receive unlicensed cryopreserved CBUs as part of their transplant treatment. The study includes patients of any age receiving these CBUs for approved indications. The protocol focuses on the access and distribution of these unlicensed units rather than a specific treatment intervention. The study gathers data from recipients who receive these CBUs, tracking outcomes after transplantation. Participants are monitored for neutrophil recovery at 60 and 100 days after transplant, defined by a neutrophil count of at least 500mm3. Researchers also collect information on infection transmission, infusion reactions, survival rates at one year, and incidence of acute and chronic graft versus host disease. Platelet recovery is also evaluated. Safety and efficacy outcomes are followed over time to better understand the effects of unlicensed CBUs in this patient population.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, tolerability, how the body processes pharmacokinetics, how the body responds pharmacodynamics, and effectiveness of TERN-701, a selective inhibitor targeting BCR-ABL1, in adults with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia who have received prior treatment. This Phase 12 trial focuses on participants with treatment challenges such as resistance or intolerance to previous therapies. The study is sponsored by Terns, Inc. and aims to better understand TERN-701s impact in this patient group. The trial has two main parts. Part 1 involves dose escalation where participants receive increasing doses of TERN-701 once daily to determine safe and effective dose levels. Part 2 includes randomized dose expansion cohorts to further assess safety and efficacy at two selected doses from Part 1, and an additional mutation cohort Part 2m evaluating a specific 500 mg dose in participants with certain resistance mutations. Treatment is given continuously in 28-day cycles with scheduled clinic visits at specified days during the first cycle and then on Day 1 of subsequent cycles. Participants will be closely monitored through regular visits for safety, tolerability, and response to treatment. Researchers will evaluate dose-limiting toxicities, adverse events, hematologic and molecular responses, and changes in BCR-ABL1 transcript levels over up to three years. Approximately 180 participants are expected to enroll, contributing to comprehensive data collection on TERN-701s performance and safety in this chronic leukemia population.

Researchers are evaluating BHV-1510, a Trop-2 directed antibody-drug conjugate, alone and combined with cemiplimab in adults with previously treated, advanced solid tumors that are incurable or have no standard therapies left.

Participants involvement includes regular visits for these assessments, with the study tracking treatment effects and safety over the duration.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of a medicine called fosmanogepix for treating candidemia and invasive candidiasis, which are serious fungal infections caused by Candida yeast. This Phase 3 clinical trial compares fosmanogepix to the standard treatment using caspofungin followed by fluconazole, aiming to show that fosmanogepix is not worse than the standard treatment by a margin of 15%. The study includes adult patients diagnosed with these infections and is sponsored by Basilea Pharmaceutica. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups two-thirds receive fosmanogepix intravenously, with an option to switch to oral tablets, while one-third receive caspofungin intravenously followed by oral fluconazole. Matching placebos are given to maintain blinding. Treatments are given daily, first by IV infusion at the clinic and then orally either at the clinic or at home if discharged. Treatment duration can be up to six weeks, depending on infection clearance and symptom improvement. Participants will be monitored through multiple study visits, with assessments including survival status at 30 days, treatment success at the end of treatment, and follow-up evaluations six weeks after stopping treatment. Additional evaluations include clinical and mycological responses, blood cultures, safety monitoring such as adverse events, lab tests, neurological exams, ECGs, and drug concentration measurements. The total study duration for each participant may be approximately 12.5 weeks, considering treatment and follow-up periods.

Researchers are evaluating the use of pemigatinib for adults with advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer that has spread locally or to distant parts of the body. This study focuses on patients whose cancer has specific abnormal changes in the FGFR gene, which can promote cancer growth. The goal is to see if pemigatinib can block these abnormal genes to stop tumor growth and improve quality of life. Participants take pemigatinib orally once daily for 14 days in each 21-day cycle, continuing as long as the cancer does not worsen or side effects are manageable. During the study, patients undergo blood tests, CT andor MRI scans, and optical coherence tomography OCT. Additional scans like whole body bone scans and eye exams may be performed if needed. After treatment, patients are followed up 30 days later and then every 4 months for one year. Throughout the study, researchers assess tumor response using imaging and blood tests, including monitoring cell-free DNA to track response and resistance. They measure overall response rate up to 24 months and evaluate progression-free survival, disease control, overall survival, and side effects up to 12 months. Safety and tolerability are closely monitored, and patients overall health and treatment effects are regularly checked to understand the impact of pemigatinib.
