Researchers are evaluating new treatments for advanced ovarian cancer in women who have completed initial surgery and chemotherapy. The study focuses on non-HRD positive ovarian cancer, comparing a targeted therapy called sacituzumab tirumotecan sac-TMT given alone or with bevacizumab, against standard care options such as bevacizumab maintenance or observation. The goal is to see if sac-TMT with or without bevacizumab can help patients live longer without their cancer worsening. Participants in the experimental group will receive sac-TMT through intravenous infusion on days 1, 15, and 29 of every 6-week cycle until the cancer progresses, side effects become prohibitive, or other reasons for stopping arise. They may optionally receive bevacizumab on days 1 and 22 of each cycle. The comparator group will either receive bevacizumab alone every 3 weeks for up to 22 courses or be monitored without active treatment. Supportive medications like steroid mouthwash and other rescue drugs are recommended before sac-TMT infusions. Throughout the study, participants will be regularly monitored for how long they live without their disease progressing, overall survival, side effects, and quality of life using specialized questionnaires. These assessments will continue for up to approximately 78 months. The study is randomized, with single masking, and led by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC. Participants can expect regular visits for treatment and monitoring during this period.

Researchers are evaluating targeted therapies and immunotherapy for people with metastatic colorectal cancer mCRC that have specific biomarkers. This open-label, exploratory Phase 11b study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of these treatments alone or in combination. Eligible participants will be assigned to treatment arms based on their tumor biomarker test results to better understand how these therapies work in different subgroups of mCRC. Participants may receive various drug combinations including oral inavolisib, intravenous IV cetuximab, bevacizumab, atezolizumab, tiragolumab, SY-5609, divarasib, and chemotherapy regimens such as FOLFOX or FOLFIRI. Treatment cycles typically last 21 or 28 days, with dosing schedules varying across arms, including daily oral medications and IV infusions on specific days. Some arms are actively recruiting, while others are closed or not currently enrolling. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including tumor measurements to evaluate response, blood tests to monitor drug levels and safety, and collection of tumor tissue for biomarker research. The primary outcome is the objective response rate over about 7 years. Secondary outcomes include duration of response, disease control rate, and adverse event monitoring. Participants are followed long-term to assess treatment effects and safety, with study participation lasting up to approximately 84 months.

Researchers are evaluating the combination of adagrasib, pembrolizumab, and platinum-doublet chemotherapy compared to placebo plus pembrolizumab and platinum-doublet chemotherapy in adults with previously untreated, locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC carrying the KRAS G12C mutation. This Phase 3 trial aims to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of these treatment combinations in this specific patient group. Participants will receive either adagrasib plus pembrolizumab combined with platinum-doublet chemotherapy or placebo plus pembrolizumab and platinum-doublet chemotherapy. Treatments involve specified doses administered on scheduled days, with the chemotherapy consisting of carboplatin or cisplatin along with pemetrexed. Participants are randomly assigned to one of the two study groups and treatments are blinded to ensure unbiased assessment. Throughout the study, participants will undergo regular evaluations including imaging scans to measure tumor response and progression-free survival, as well as assessments of overall survival. Safety is closely monitored by recording adverse events for up to 90 days after the last dose. Quality of life and symptom assessments are also conducted using validated questionnaires. The study duration includes follow-up for up to seven years to gather comprehensive data on treatment outcomes and participant health.

Researchers are evaluating treatments for participants with KRASNRAS and BRAF wild-type recurrent, unresectable, or metastatic colorectal cancer who have previously received chemotherapy. The study compares how long participants remain free of disease progression and the overall survival time when treated with amivantamab plus chemotherapy versus cetuximab or bevacizumab plus chemotherapy. This Phase 3 trial focuses on patients who have already undergone prior chemotherapy for their cancer. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives amivantamab combined with the chemotherapy regimen FOLFIRI, which includes 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium or levoleucovorin, and irinotecan. The other group receives either cetuximab or bevacizumab combined with the same chemotherapy regimen FOLFIRI. Treatments are given in 28-day cycles and continue until the cancer progresses or other criteria require stopping treatment. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments to monitor disease status, including imaging scans reviewed by independent experts. Researchers measure progression-free survival and overall survival over periods up to several years. Additional outcomes include response rates, duration of response, quality of life assessments, and side effects. Safety and laboratory evaluations are conducted throughout the study, which spans up to four years and four months in total duration.

Researchers are evaluating how long adult participants with KRASNRAS and BRAF wild-type unresectable or metastatic left-sided colorectal cancer remain disease-free when treated with different combinations of drugs. The study compares amivantamab combined with chemotherapy regimens mFOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI versus cetuximab combined with the same chemotherapy regimens. This phase 3 trial aims to understand which treatment approach may better delay cancer progression. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. One group receives amivantamab along with chemotherapy cycles consisting of 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium or levoleucovorin, and oxaliplatin or irinotecan hydrochloride, repeated every 28 days. The other group receives cetuximab combined with the same chemotherapy regimens, also in 28-day cycles. Treatments continue until imaging shows disease progression or other criteria require stopping. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including radiographic imaging to monitor disease status and treatment effects. Researchers will measure progression-free survival for up to over 4 years, along with other outcomes such as overall survival, response rates, duration and time to response, and quality of life using validated questionnaires. Safety will be monitored through adverse event reporting and laboratory tests, with follow-up continuing for several years to capture long-term results.

Researchers are evaluating elacestrant compared to standard endocrine therapies in adults with node-positive, Estrogen Receptor-positive ER, HER2-negative early breast cancer who are at high risk of cancer returning. The study focuses on those who have had prior endocrine therapy and aims to measure how well elacestrant may prevent invasive breast cancer recurrence over five years. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either 345 mg of elacestrant daily for five years or continue their prior standard endocrine therapy, which may include an aromatase inhibitor anastrozole, letrozole, or exemestane or tamoxifen. The trial is open-label, meaning both participants and researchers know which treatment is given. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor cancer recurrence, survival, side effects, and quality of life. Evaluations include questionnaires on health status and physical functioning at baseline, six months, and annually for up to five years. Safety is tracked through adverse event reporting up to five years plus 28 days. The total participation duration can last up to five years with ongoing monitoring and data collection.
