Researchers are evaluating the experimental antibody COM701 in participants with relapsed platinum sensitive ovarian cancer (PSOC). This trial aims to find out if COM701, given as a maintenance treatment, can delay the progression of ovarian cancer, delay the need for new anti-cancer treatments, and to assess its safety. The study is part of an adaptive-platform trial with multiple sub-studies, focusing initially on COM701 alone compared to a placebo. Participants are randomly assigned in a 1:2 ratio to receive either a placebo or COM701 via intravenous infusion every 3 weeks. The trial includes a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled design for the first sub-study. Future sub-studies will explore COM701 combined with other anti-cancer drugs. During the study, participants will visit the clinic every three weeks for treatment and monitoring. Health checks include physical exams, vital signs, ECGs, blood and urine tests, and pregnancy tests if applicable. Disease response will be assessed with CT or MRI scans and tumor marker tests using tumor tissue samples. The primary measure is progression-free survival, tracking time from randomization until disease progression or death, assessed up to two years.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of several therapies in participants with Stage IB, IIA, IIB, IIIA, or selected IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors that can be surgically removed and meet specific biomarker criteria. This phase II study focuses on newly diagnosed, early-stage NSCLC patients, aiming to better understand treatment responses based on tumor biomarkers such as ALK fusions, ROS1 fusions, BRAF mutations, PD-L1 expression, and KRAS G12C mutations. Participants will receive various treatments depending on their biomarker group. These include oral drugs like alectinib, entrectinib, vemurafenib, cobimetinib, pralsetinib, and divarasib, and intravenous atezolizumab combined with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). The study also involves surgical removal of the primary tumor and lymph nodes, and standard chemotherapy as determined by the physician. The KRAS G12C group receives divarasib for about 8 weeks before surgery and up to 3 years after surgery as additional therapy. During the study, participants will undergo imaging scans such as CT, PET, and brain MRI for staging, and may have invasive staging procedures if needed. Researchers will assess treatment response by examining tumor tissue after surgery around week 8 and monitor side effects, surgery delays, and overall safety. Follow-up includes evaluation of pathologic response and adverse events, with total participation lasting through neoadjuvant, surgery, and adjuvant treatment phases.

Bipolar disorder is a serious, long-lasting mood disorder affecting adults and children in the United States. This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of Icalcaprant, an investigational oral medication, in adults with bipolar I or II disorder who are experiencing depressive episodes. The trial is a Phase 2, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving about 195 adult participants across approximately 35 U.S. sites. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three groups, including a placebo group, to receive oral capsules of either Icalcaprant or placebo once daily for 6 weeks. Following treatment, there is a 4-week safety follow-up period to monitor participants' health and any side effects. The study assesses changes in depression severity using the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) and tracks any adverse events during the approximately 10-week period. Throughout the trial, participants will visit clinics or hospitals regularly for medical assessments, blood tests, and questionnaires to monitor their condition, side effects, and overall health. Researchers will measure the change in depression symptoms from baseline to Week 6 and record any adverse events up to about 10 weeks. Participants' treatment adherence and safety are closely observed during the study and follow-up periods.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common and serious mood disorder causing persistent sadness and loss of interest, along with emotional and physical symptoms like irritability, tiredness, and changes in appetite. This trial investigates the effects of oral Icalcaprant, an experimental drug, on adults currently experiencing a major depressive episode. The study aims to assess changes in disease activity and monitor adverse events over the treatment period. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups, with about one-third receiving a placebo. Those in the treatment arms will take oral capsules of Icalcaprant once daily for six weeks. After the treatment period, there will be a 30-day safety follow-up to monitor any ongoing effects or side effects. During the study, participants will visit the hospital or clinic regularly for medical assessments, blood tests, side effect monitoring, and to complete questionnaires. Researchers will evaluate changes in depression severity using the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) and track the number of participants experiencing adverse events. The total participation duration includes the six-week treatment and the 30-day follow-up.

Researchers are evaluating whether adding immunotherapy drugs brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab to standard chemotherapy, with or without radiation, can improve survival for patients aged 5 to 60 years with newly diagnosed stage I or II classical Hodgkin lymphoma. This phase III trial compares outcomes in groups based on their early response to initial chemotherapy, aiming to understand if immunotherapy can lead to better progression-free survival and overall survival compared to standard treatment alone. The study also looks at side effects, quality of life, and long-term health impacts across different patient groups. Participants first receive two cycles of standard ABVD chemotherapy every 28 days, followed by imaging to classify their response as rapid or slow early responders and their risk status as favorable or unfavorable. Based on these factors, patients are assigned to one of eight treatment arms that include either continued standard chemotherapy regimens or immunotherapy with brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab, sometimes combined with involved-site radiation therapy. Treatments are given intravenously or orally depending on the drugs, and cycles typically last 28 days. Imaging and blood samples are collected regularly throughout the study. Throughout the trial, participants undergo frequent scans such as FDG-PET, CT, MRI, and PET-CT to monitor their disease status. Blood samples and questionnaires assess treatment effects and quality of life. After completing treatment, patients have scheduled follow-up visits every 3 months for the first year, then every 6 months for two years, and annually up to 12 years to track long-term outcomes, side effects, and survival. The main measurements focus on progression-free survival, overall survival, treatment-related adverse events, and patient-reported experiences.

Researchers are evaluating two surgical procedures, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, to see how well they reduce the risk of ovarian cancer in women who have BRCA1 gene mutations. The study aims to determine if removing just the fallopian tubes (bilateral salpingectomy) is almost as effective as removing both the fallopian tubes and ovaries (bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy) in lowering ovarian cancer risk. This trial also assesses symptoms related to estrogen loss, quality of life, sexual function, cancer-related distress, decision-making about surgery, and treatment side effects in these patients. Participants choose between two groups: one group undergoes bilateral salpingectomy and may have their ovaries removed later, while the other group undergoes bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Both groups receive pelvic or transvaginal ultrasounds or pelvic MRI scans during screening, and blood samples are collected throughout the trial. Ancillary studies include quality-of-life assessments and questionnaires. The study also collects tissue and blood samples for future research. After surgery, participants have follow-up visits at 10 to 60 days, then at 6, 12, and 24 months, and annually for up to 20 years. Researchers monitor the time until any high-grade serous carcinomas develop, specifically ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancers. They also track menopausal symptoms, sexual function, quality of life, cancer distress, medical decisions about surgery, and any adverse events during this long-term follow-up.

Researchers are investigating the addition of an immunotherapy drug called durvalumab to standard chemotherapy treatment in patients with MammaPrint High 2 Risk (MP2) stage II-III hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer. This phase III trial aims to compare the effectiveness of usual chemotherapy alone versus chemotherapy combined with durvalumab. Immunotherapy with durvalumab may help the immune system attack cancer cells and prevent tumor growth and spread, while chemotherapy drugs like paclitaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide work to stop cancer cells from growing or dividing. Previous studies suggest patients with an MP2 result might respond better to this combined treatment approach. Participants first undergo MammaPrint testing to confirm MP2 status before randomization into two groups. One group receives paclitaxel intravenously on days 1 and 8 every 14 days for 6 cycles, followed by doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide intravenously on day 1 every 14 days for 4 cycles. The other group receives the same chemotherapy schedule plus durvalumab intravenously over 60 minutes on specified cycles during both chemotherapy phases. Mammography is performed during screening, and optional tissue and blood samples are collected for future studies. Throughout the study, participants are monitored through various assessments including imaging, physical exams, laboratory tests, and quality of life questionnaires focusing on fatigue and physical and mental health. Researchers track breast cancer event-free survival and other outcomes such as treatment side effects and response rates. After completing treatment, patients are followed for up to 10 years or until death to evaluate long-term outcomes and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the addition of nivolumab to the usual treatment of paclitaxel and ramucirumab in patients with advanced or locally unresectable stomach or esophageal adenocarcinoma. This phase II/III trial aims to determine if adding nivolumab improves progression-free survival and overall survival compared to paclitaxel and ramucirumab alone. The study also assesses response rates, disease control, safety, tolerability, and quality of life in participants with PD-L1 CPS 21 1 advanced gastric or esophageal cancer. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. The first group receives nivolumab IV on day 1 of each 28-day cycle, ramucirumab IV on days 1 and 15, and paclitaxel IV on days 1, 8, and 15. The second group receives ramucirumab IV on days 1 and 15 and paclitaxel IV on days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle. Treatment continues every 28 days until disease progression or unacceptable side effects occur. Optional blood samples may be collected during the study. Imaging with CT and MRI is performed throughout. Participants undergo scans and assessments at baseline and during treatment to monitor cancer progression and treatment effects. They also complete questionnaires on quality of life and symptoms. After treatment ends, participants are followed up at 30, 60, and 90 days and then every 6 months for up to 3 years. Researchers measure progression-free survival and overall survival as primary outcomes, along with other safety and patient-reported measures.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of adding cemiplimab, an immunotherapy drug that blocks the PD-1 pathway to help the immune system attack tumor cells, to the usual treatment of docetaxel and ramucirumab in patients with stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. This phase II/III Expanded Lung-MAP trial compares cemiplimab combined with docetaxel and ramucirumab versus docetaxel and ramucirumab alone, aiming to improve treatment outcomes in patients who previously received platinum chemotherapy and immunotherapy but developed resistance or disease progression. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms. In Arm I, patients receive dexamethasone orally twice daily on days 0-2, ramucirumab and docetaxel intravenously on day 1 of each 21-day cycle. In Arm II, patients receive the same treatments plus cemiplimab intravenously on day 1 of each cycle. Treatment cycles continue every 21 days until disease progression or unacceptable side effects occur. Throughout the study, patients undergo regular blood sample collection and imaging scans such as CT or MRI to monitor disease status. During the study, participants are closely monitored with scans, blood tests, and physical exams to assess overall survival and other outcomes like progression-free survival, response rates, and treatment safety. Researchers also collect blood samples for future molecular studies. After completing treatment, patients are followed up every 3 to 6 months for up to 3 years to track long-term survival and health status. The study measures overall survival from randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years.

Researchers are studying tailored adjuvant treatments in women with early-stage endometrial cancer, focusing on two specific molecular types: POLE-mutated and p53 wildtype/no specific molecular profile (NSMP). This phase II study aims to compare a new, less intense treatment approach against the usual care, which typically involves surgery followed by additional therapies like radiation or chemotherapy based on pathology results. Participants receive treatment after surgery, which includes hysterectomy and removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes. The study involves two sub-studies: one for POLE-mutated cancer patients and another for those with p53 wildtype/NSMP cancer. Treatment may include vaginal brachytherapy using a vaginal cylinder or ovoids, or external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) with or without brachytherapy, delivered with specialized radiation equipment. Some patients may be placed under observation without additional radiation. During the study, participants are closely monitored with follow-up visits to assess treatment effects and check for cancer recurrence, particularly pelvic recurrence over three years. Researchers collect patient-reported outcomes through questionnaires in English, French, or other validated languages. The study tracks safety and effectiveness over time, requiring participants to be accessible for treatment and follow-up at the study centers, with treatment starting within ten weeks after surgery.
