Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab as first-line treatments for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) whose tumors have high PD-L1 expression. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, and global study focuses on participants with stage IV mNSCLC who do not have certain genetic mutations or rearrangements and are eligible for systemic therapy. Participants receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. The study compares these two biological treatments given as monotherapy. Both groups will be monitored over time to assess treatment impact and safety. Throughout the study, participants undergo evaluations including tumor measurements by CT or MRI, performance status assessments, and organ function tests. Researchers will measure overall survival and progression-free survival for up to approximately five years. Tumor samples are collected before treatment for central testing, and participants’ health and treatment responses are closely followed during the trial period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab, both combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, as initial treatments for patients with metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) whose tumors express PD-L1. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, global study focuses on patients whose tumors meet the PD-L1 expression threshold of 1% or higher and do not have certain genetic mutations or rearrangements that would require other targeted therapies. Participants receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab intravenously on the first day of each 21-day treatment cycle. Both groups also receive platinum-based chemotherapy drugs such as carboplatin or cisplatin, administered intravenously up to four cycles, along with pemetrexed given intravenously on Day 1 of each cycle. The study monitors these treatments as first-line therapy for metastatic non-squamous NSCLC. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor size and response, as well as evaluations of organ and bone marrow function. Researchers track overall survival and progression-free survival for up to approximately five years. Safety is closely monitored throughout, and patients are followed long-term to assess outcomes related to treatment effectiveness and tolerability.

This is a Phase III, two-arm, randomized, double-blind, global, multicenter study assessing the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab, both in combination with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, as a first-line (1L) treatment for patients with squamous metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) whose tumors express PD-L1 (tumor cells (TC) ≥ 1%).

Researchers are conducting a prospective, longitudinal, non-interventional, multicenter study to profile molecular biomarkers in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The study focuses on individuals with metastatic or unresectable, recurrent HNSCC who are receiving standard of care treatment. The aim is to explore DNA, RNA, immune, and other multiomic biomarkers to better understand prognostic or predictive indicators that could inform future research on relevant biomarkers. Participants will provide tissue and blood samples for molecular biomarker profiling throughout their standard treatment, which involves first line anti-PD1 or PDL1 monotherapy or combination therapy. Tumor tissue samples representative of the current disease must be submitted according to laboratory guidelines. This observational study does not involve any investigational treatments or interventions beyond the participants' usual care. During the study, participants will undergo molecular analyses of their tissue and blood samples over a period of up to 5 years. Researchers will monitor multiomic biomarkers to identify prognostic or predictive factors. The study includes follow-up to collect data that may support the discovery of new biomarkers. Participants must be willing and able to comply with study procedures, including additional blood sample collections.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of Datopotamab Deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) with or without durvalumab compared to the investigator's choice chemotherapy combined with pembrolizumab in patients who have PD-L1 positive locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). This Phase III, randomized, open-label, international study aims to see if adding durvalumab to Dato-DXd can help patients live longer without their cancer worsening or simply live longer compared to standard chemotherapy with pembrolizumab. The study also examines how the treatments and cancer impact patients' quality of life. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: Dato-DXd plus durvalumab, Dato-DXd alone, or investigator's choice chemotherapy (paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, or gemcitabine plus carboplatin) combined with pembrolizumab. All treatments are given by intravenous infusion. The study design includes stratification based on geographic location, disease-free interval history, and prior PD-1/PD-L1 treatment for early-stage TNBC. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor their disease status using RECIST 1.1 criteria and undergo imaging reviewed by blinded independent central review. Researchers will track progression-free survival, quality of life, safety, and other health measures over an anticipated period of up to 33 months. Participants must provide tumor samples for PD-L1 testing, and safety monitoring will continue throughout the study.

Researchers are evaluating treatments for people with extensive stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). This phase 3 study compares the effectiveness of adding tarlatamab to a combination of durvalumab, carboplatin, and etoposide against the combination without tarlatamab. The main goal is to see which treatment better prolongs overall survival and progression-free survival over about 3.5 years. Participants receive intravenous infusions of the study drugs. One group gets tarlatamab combined with durvalumab, carboplatin, and etoposide, while the other group receives durvalumab, carboplatin, and etoposide alone. All treatments are given as first-line therapy for their lung cancer. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly to assess their response to treatment and overall health. Researchers will measure overall survival and progression-free survival to evaluate treatment benefit. The study also involves ongoing safety monitoring, and participants will be followed for up to approximately 3.5 years to collect these outcomes.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of pembrolizumab combined with sacituzumab govitecan-hziy compared to the standard chemotherapy treatments in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer. This Phase III trial focuses on cancers that have spread to nearby tissues, lymph nodes, or other parts of the body. The study aims to compare overall survival and other outcomes such as progression-free survival, response rates, clinical benefits, duration of response, and treatment toxicity between the two treatment approaches. Quality of life and fatigue are also assessed as secondary measures. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. One group receives standard of care chemotherapy, which may include carboplatin or cisplatin combined with gemcitabine, or alternatively docetaxel or paclitaxel, administered intravenously in cycles every 21 days for up to six cycles, unless the disease progresses or side effects become unacceptable. The other group receives sacituzumab govitecan-hziy intravenously on days 1 and 8, along with pembrolizumab intravenously on day 1 of each 21-day cycle, continuing for up to 35 cycles or two years, unless there is disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular blood sample collections and imaging scans using computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging to monitor their condition. Quality of life questionnaires are also completed to assess symptoms and fatigue over time. After treatment ends, patients are followed up 30 days later and then annually for up to five years to evaluate long-term outcomes and safety. The main outcome measured is overall survival from the time of randomization up to five years.

The primary purpose of the study is to assess how well amivantamab in combination with lazertinib or in combination with chemotherapy works (antitumor activity) in participants with epidermal growth factor receptor mutated (EGFRm) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC; that is one of the major types of lung cancer).

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of camizestrant compared to standard endocrine therapy in patients with early breast cancer that is estrogen receptor positive (ER+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-). These patients have an intermediate or high risk of cancer recurrence and have already completed local treatments such as surgery and possibly chemotherapy, alongside at least 2 years and up to 5 years of standard adjuvant endocrine therapy. The study is a Phase III, open-label trial designed to assess outcomes over a long term. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either camizestrant, an oral selective estrogen receptor degrader, or one of several standard endocrine therapies including tamoxifen, anastrozole, letrozole, or exemestane, administered according to local approved guidelines. The treatment duration for both groups is planned to last 60 months. Eligible patients may have previously used CDK4/6 inhibitors, and the study will specifically include those with intermediate or high risk of recurrence as determined by clinical and biological markers. During the study, participants will be monitored for up to 10 years from the last patient's randomization to evaluate invasive breast cancer-free survival. Additional outcomes include invasive disease-free survival, distant relapse-free survival, overall survival, safety, and clinical outcome assessments. The study involves ongoing assessments of health status, treatment effects, and safety to determine the long-term benefits and risks of camizestrant compared to standard therapies.

This research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of iza-bren, a bi-specific antibody-drug conjugate targeting EGFR and HER3 with a topoisomerase inhibitor, compared to the treatment of physician's choice (paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, carboplatin plus gemcitabine, or capecitabine). The study focuses on patients with previously untreated, locally advanced, recurrent inoperable, or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) or estrogen receptor (ER)-low, HER2-negative breast cancer who are not eligible for anti-PD(L)1 or endocrine therapies. The trial is conducted in two phases, phase 2 and phase 3, to thoroughly assess these treatments.
