This research aims to provide continued access to niraparib and to further assess its long-term safety in participants with ovarian or breast neoplasms who are currently receiving niraparib treatment within previous GlaxoSmithKlineTESARO-sponsored studies. It focuses on participants who have completed earlier studies where the primary objectives were met and are judged by their doctors to still benefit from niraparib. The study is a phase 2, open-label extension trial designed to monitor treatment continuation and safety over time. Participants will receive niraparib once daily by mouth, following the same dose and schedule as in their previous parent study. Treatment is organized in 90-day cycles and will continue until disease progression, unacceptable side effects, new anticancer therapy unrelated to the parent study, withdrawal, or other reasons for discontinuation occur. The dosing regimen mirrors what was assigned in the prior study, ensuring consistency for each participant. During the study, participants will have regular evaluations to monitor safety and health status for up to five years. These assessments include tracking adverse events, serious side effects, and specific safety concerns, as well as monitoring physical exams, vital signs, blood tests, and medication use. Participants must comply with scheduled visits and treatments while using effective contraception if of childbearing potential. The study duration and follow-up are designed to gather detailed long-term safety information on niraparib treatment.

Researchers are evaluating disitamab vedotin alone or combined with pembrolizumab to treat urothelial cancer that expresses HER2. This study focuses on participants with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to assess how well the drug works and to monitor the side effects experienced by participants. Participants receive disitamab vedotin intravenously every 2 weeks, either alone or with pembrolizumab given by intravenous infusion on Day 1 of each 6-week cycle. The study includes multiple cohorts receiving different combinations or monotherapy treatments. The treatment period and monitoring last approximately 2 years, with ongoing assessments of drug effects and safety. During the study, participants undergo regular evaluations including imaging scans to measure tumor response, laboratory tests, electrocardiograms to monitor heart function, and assessments of side effects. Researchers measure treatment response using established cancer evaluation criteria and track survival and disease control over about 3 years. Participants are closely monitored for adverse effects and blood levels of the drugs to understand how the treatments behave in the body.

Researchers are evaluating a drug called sigvotatug vedotin SGN-B6A alone and in combination with pembrolizumab, with or without chemotherapy, to assess its safety and effects in people with advanced solid tumors. This Phase 1 study aims to determine the side effects and whether sigvotatug vedotin works to treat various solid tumors including lung, head and neck, breast, esophageal, skin, pancreatic, bladder, cervical, gastric, and ovarian cancers. The study is divided into four parts to explore dosage, safety, and combination treatments. Participants may receive sigvotatug vedotin alone or combined with pembrolizumab, sometimes alongside chemotherapy drugs carboplatin or cisplatin, depending on the study part. Part A focuses on finding the right dose of sigvotatug vedotin. Part B uses this dose to further test safety and effectiveness. Parts C and D study the drug combined with pembrolizumab and possibly chemotherapy in different tumor types and treatment settings, including people who have not previously received treatment. Treatments are given intravenously, with pembrolizumab administered every 3 or 6 weeks and chemotherapy every 3 weeks. During the study, participants undergo tumor biopsies, clinical evaluations, and monitoring for side effects, including blood tests and safety assessments. Researchers track adverse events, lab abnormalities, and dose-limiting toxicities up to 30-37 days after treatment, with some follow-up extending up to 3 years. They also measure tumor response using standard criteria and monitor survival and drug levels in the body. Participants will have regular visits for treatment and assessments throughout the study duration, which may last several years.

Researchers are evaluating the addition of nivolumab to the usual treatment of paclitaxel and ramucirumab compared to paclitaxel and ramucirumab alone in patients with advanced stomach or esophageal adenocarcinoma. This phase IIIII trial aims to see if nivolumab improves progression-free survival and overall survival in these patients. Nivolumab is an immunotherapy monoclonal antibody that may help the immune system attack cancer, while ramucirumab may prevent tumor blood vessel growth, and paclitaxel stops cancer cells from dividing. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives nivolumab intravenously on day 1 of each 28-day cycle, combined with ramucirumab on days 1 and 15, and paclitaxel on days 1, 8, and 15. The other group receives only ramucirumab and paclitaxel on the same schedule without nivolumab. Treatment cycles continue unless the disease worsens or side effects become unacceptable. During the study, patients undergo CT scans and MRI imaging, and may optionally provide blood samples. Throughout the trial, participants are monitored with regular imaging and optional blood tests. After treatment ends, patients have follow-up visits at 30, 60, and 90 days, then every six months for up to three years. Researchers assess progression-free survival, overall survival, response rates, disease control, safety, and quality of life using questionnaires and patient-reported symptoms. This comprehensive monitoring helps evaluate treatment effects and patient well-being over time.

Researchers are collecting blood and tissue samples from people with and without cancer to help evaluate new tests that could detect cancer early. This study aims to create a set of blinded blood samples from both cancer and non-cancer patients to validate these tests, focusing on multiple cancer types and stages. The goal is to improve early cancer detection through laboratory research. Participants complete a questionnaire at the start and provide blood samples at registration and again 12 months later. Those diagnosed with cancer may also have tissue samples collected at these times. The study includes patients with various cancer types and stages, as well as individuals without cancer, with some allowing enrollment before full cancer confirmation under specific conditions. During the study, researchers review the collected samples and questionnaire data to assess test performance by tumor type and clinical stage at diagnosis. Participants are followed for one year after completing the study. Key measurements include the provision of a blinded reference set of cancer versus non-cancer blood samples to support future clinical trials focused on blood-based multi-cancer early detection.

Researchers are evaluating how to best recommend chemotherapy for patients with Stage IIB, IIC, or Stage III colon cancer based on the presence or absence of circulating tumor DNA ctDNA after surgery. This Phase IIIII trial explores whether ctDNA status can help guide decisions about the need for adjuvant chemotherapy and identify the optimal chemotherapy regimen for those at high risk of recurrence. Circulating tumor DNA is a promising biomarker that may detect microscopic residual cancer cells that traditional methods might miss. Participants are assigned to groups based on their ctDNA results after surgery. Those without detectable ctDNA ctDNA- may undergo serial monitoring without treatment or receive different chemotherapy regimens such as mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX for 3 to 6 months. Patients with detectable ctDNA ctDNA who have a higher risk of recurrence are randomized to receive either standard chemotherapy regimens like mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX for 6 months or a more intensive regimen called mFOLFIRINOX for 6 months. Central ctDNA testing is performed using the Signatera test to guide these assignments. During the study, participants have blood samples collected for ctDNA testing and undergo imaging scans to check for cancer recurrence. Researchers assess disease-free survival, overall survival, and chemotherapy compliance over several years. The study includes monitoring for safety and treatment effects, with follow-up planned for up to 5 years after randomization. Participants health status, laboratory tests, and tumor markers are regularly evaluated throughout the treatment and follow-up periods.

This research aims to compare two methods of monitoring pancreatic cysts and to identify biomarkers that may help detect the risk of these cysts turning into pancreatic cancer. The study evaluates whether more frequent monitoring or less frequent monitoring leads to better patient outcomes and explores various blood and imaging biomarkers for improved risk prediction. Participants are observed through two different surveillance approaches that were previously randomized but are now closed to new enrollment. One approach involves lower intensity monitoring with MRI, CT, or endoscopic ultrasound EUS scans spaced out over years, while the other involves higher intensity monitoring with more frequent imaging based on cyst size. Throughout the study, patients may also provide blood samples and undergo biopsies, fine needle aspirations, or surgery as needed. Participants are followed up regularly for five years from registration, with imaging and blood tests at intervals depending on their assigned monitoring method. Researchers collect data on clinical features, anxiety, quality of life, financial distress, healthcare costs, and outcomes such as the development of concerning pancreatic cyst features or pancreatic cancer. The study uses these measures to assess the effectiveness of monitoring strategies and the predictive value of biomarkers.

Researchers are evaluating a treatment approach for early-stage hormone-sensitive, HER-2 negative breast cancer with an Oncotype recurrence score of 18 or less. This Phase III trial compares breast conservation surgery with endocrine therapy alone against breast conservation surgery with both radiation and endocrine therapy. The goal is to see if skipping radiation after lumpectomy is not worse in preventing cancer recurrence in the same breast. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive radiation therapy to the breast plus at least five years of endocrine therapy with drugs such as Tamoxifen, Anastrozole, Letrozole, or Exemestane. The other group will receive endocrine therapy only for at least five years without radiation. Radiation must start within 12 weeks of surgery if assigned. Endocrine therapy dosing and schedule are determined by the treating doctor. During the study, participants will have regular follow-ups up to five years to monitor cancer recurrence in the breast and elsewhere, survival, and breast preservation. Assessments will include clinical exams, imaging like mammograms or MRI, and pathology reviews. The main outcome is time to invasive or noninvasive breast tumor recurrence within five years. Some measures will continue through an average of 15 years, including breast conservation rates. Safety and overall health will be monitored throughout and after treatment.

Researchers are studying premenopausal women with early-stage breast cancer that is estrogen receptor-positive and HER2-negative, focusing on tumors with specific gene recurrence scores. The trial aims to find out if adding chemotherapy to ovarian function suppression plus endocrine therapy improves invasive breast cancer-free survival compared to ovarian function suppression plus endocrine therapy alone. This Phase III trial addresses the need for better treatments in younger women, given their higher risk and past conflicting study results on ovarian suppression and chemotherapy. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups one receiving ovarian function suppression combined with an aromatase inhibitor for five years, and the other receiving adjuvant chemotherapy followed by the same ovarian function suppression and aromatase inhibitor regimen. Choices for the aromatase inhibitor and gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist are made by the investigator, with options including drugs such as goserelin, leuprolide, or triptorelin. Endocrine treatment beyond five years is at the investigators discretion, and bilateral oophorectomy may be used instead of ovarian suppression if preferred. During the study, participants are monitored over 11 years from randomization, with measurements including invasive breast cancer-free survival as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes include disease-free survival, overall survival, recurrence intervals, menopausal symptoms, and pain during aromatase inhibitor therapy. Safety and treatment effects are assessed through regular evaluations, and participants continue to be followed long term to understand the impact of treatments on their breast cancer outcomes.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of lenalidomide and dexamethasone with or without daratumumab in treating patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma. This phase III trial aims to compare overall survival, progression-free survival, response rates, and safety between these treatments. The study also explores patient-reported quality of life, treatment adherence, minimal residual disease status, and imaging associations during therapy. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. The first group receives daratumumab intravenously on a detailed schedule across up to 24 courses, plus oral lenalidomide daily for 21 days and dexamethasone on specific days during the first 12 courses. The second group receives only oral lenalidomide and dexamethasone on a similar schedule for up to 24 courses. Treatment cycles repeat every 28 days unless disease progression or unacceptable side effects occur. During the study, participants complete quality-of-life questionnaires and undergo laboratory tests, including minimal residual disease assessments and PETCT imaging. Safety is closely monitored, especially infusion-related reactions and toxicity. After treatment, patients are followed for up to 15 years with periodic visits every 3 to 12 months to track long-term outcomes and survival.
