Researchers are investigating the safety and effects of 4D-150 gene therapy in adults aged 50 and older with neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (AMD) who are already receiving anti-VEGF treatment and have shown a clinical response. This Phase 1/2 trial includes dose-escalation and randomized, controlled, masked expansion phases, aiming to evaluate 4D-150 administered by intravitreal injection in one eye, with additional substudies assessing dosing in the second eye and vector shedding. Participants will receive a one-time dose of 4D-150 by injection into the study eye, followed by monthly assessments for 24 months to monitor safety and effectiveness. Those who receive 4D-150 will then enter a long-term follow-up period up to 5 years to assess ongoing safety and the duration of treatment effects. Substudies include one for contralateral eye dosing and another to characterize vector shedding, with participants monitored regularly for safety through one year and continuing long-term follow-up through year 5. Throughout the study, participants will undergo tests of visual and retinal function and structure, with assessments performed monthly initially and safety monitored for up to five years. Researchers will track treatment-emergent adverse events, serious adverse events, and any significant changes in safety parameters. Participants must comply with study procedures and visits, and males receiving 4D-150 will be advised to use barrier methods during intercourse for six months to prevent fluid transmission.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of tenapanor in adults with Chronic Idiopathic Constipation (CIC) in this 26-week phase 3 study. The study is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, involving multiple centers. It aims to compare three doses of tenapanor (5 mg, 25 mg, and 50 mg taken twice daily) against a placebo, with a focus on improving spontaneous bowel movements. Participants will first undergo a 2-week screening where their eligibility is assessed through medical history, physical exams, lab tests, ECG, and self-reported constipation symptoms using an electronic diary (eDiary). Eligible patients will then be randomly assigned to receive one of the three doses of tenapanor or placebo twice daily for 26 weeks. During this treatment period, patients will continue daily and weekly symptom reporting via the eDiary and attend regular safety visits at weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 26. After completing the 26-week treatment, patients enter a 4-week treatment-free safety follow-up period to monitor any adverse events. A final visit occurs at the end of this follow-up to assess safety. The main outcome measured is the durable complete spontaneous bowel movements response over 12 weeks. Overall, the study involves careful monitoring of symptoms, safety, and treatment effects over approximately 32 weeks.

Researchers are evaluating new treatment options for adults with locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery and has a specific KRAS G12C gene mutation. This study compares the safety and effectiveness of adding calderasib and cetuximab, both targeted therapies, to a standard chemotherapy regimen called mFOLFOX6. The goal is to see if this combination can help patients live longer without their cancer growing or spreading compared to current treatments that may include mFOLFOX6 with or without bevacizumab. The study has two parts. It involves treatment with calderasib taken as an oral tablet, cetuximab given according to standard procedures, and mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy combining oxaliplatin, leucovorin/levofolinate calcium, and 5-fluorouracil. Some participants may receive bevacizumab or a bevacizumab biosimilar as part of the comparison. The treatments are given following approved dosing schedules. This design allows researchers to assess the safety and tolerability of these drug combinations in treating this type of colorectal cancer with the KRAS G12C mutation. Participants will be monitored for side effects, treatment tolerability, and cancer progression over a period that may last up to about 44 months. Researchers will track outcomes such as how many participants experience dose-limiting toxicities or adverse events, how many stop treatment due to side effects, and progression-free survival time. Assessments include health evaluations, laboratory tests, and imaging to observe cancer status. This long-term follow-up aims to understand both safety and effectiveness of the treatment combinations.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for people with high-risk, early-stage breast cancer, specifically targeting triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and hormone receptor (HR)-low positive/HER2-negative breast cancer. These types have little or no HER2 protein and involve hormones like estrogen or progesterone. The study aims to evaluate if the addition of sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT), a targeted therapy, combined with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy can improve outcomes compared to pembrolizumab with chemotherapy alone. Participants receive treatments including sacituzumab tirumotecan, pembrolizumab, and chemotherapy drugs such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, all given by intravenous infusion. Rescue medications like antihistamines, acetaminophen, dexamethasone, or steroid mouthwash may be used as needed. The study is randomized and open-label, comparing sac-TMT followed by chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab to chemotherapy and pembrolizumab without sac-TMT. During the study, researchers will monitor participants up to about 30 weeks to assess the percentage of people with no remaining cancer cells at surgery. They will also follow participants for up to approximately 92 months to track event-free survival, meaning time without cancer growth, spread, or return. Participants will undergo imaging, clinical assessments, and laboratory tests to evaluate treatment effects and safety throughout the study.

Researchers are investigating treatments for women with recurrent endometrial cancer that expresses different levels of the HER2 protein. The study has two groups based on the tumor's HER2 score: Cohort 1 includes patients with HER2 IHC 1+ or 2+ who have previously received immune checkpoint inhibitors and platinum-based chemotherapy, while Cohort 2 includes patients with HER2 IHC 3+. The purpose is to compare the effectiveness and safety of the investigational drug BNT323 (also called DB-1303) against chemotherapy in Cohort 1 and to evaluate BNT323 alone in Cohort 2. The study also looks at how the drug affects the immune system, the body's handling of the drug, quality of life, and potential side effects. Participants in Cohort 1 are randomly assigned to receive either BNT323 via intravenous infusion or a chemotherapy drug chosen by the investigator (doxorubicin, paclitaxel, or docetaxel if paclitaxel is unsuitable). Treatment continues until the cancer progresses, unacceptable side effects occur, or the participant withdraws consent. Those in Cohort 2 receive BNT323 alone until disease progression or other discontinuation criteria are met. The study includes a screening period, a treatment period expected to last about six months, followed by safety monitoring, efficacy follow-up, and long-term survival follow-up lasting up to approximately 53 months. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor response by RECIST criteria, safety monitoring for adverse effects, and evaluations of quality of life. Researchers also study the pharmacokinetics of BNT323 and the immune response. The main outcomes measured are progression-free survival in Cohort 1 and objective response rate in Cohort 2. Safety follow-up ensures ongoing monitoring after treatment to evaluate longer-term effects and participant wellbeing.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for people with high-risk, localized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has been completely removed by surgery. This Phase 3 study aims to find out if adding one or two trial treatments after surgery can help prevent the cancer from returning. The study focuses on participants with completely resected high-risk Stage I NSCLC, evaluating disease-free survival as the main outcome. The trial compares three groups: one receiving intismeran (also called V940/mRNA-4157) alone, another receiving intismeran combined with subcutaneous pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa (MK-3475A), and a placebo group. Intismeran is given by intramuscular injection, while pembrolizumab coformulated with berahyaluronidase alfa is given by subcutaneous injection. Participants receive these treatments after surgery as adjuvant therapy. During the study, participants provide tissue and blood samples and are monitored over up to approximately 98 months to assess disease-free survival through blinded independent central review. Researchers will also evaluate safety and other health measures throughout the study. This long follow-up period helps track if and when the cancer returns and how participants respond to the treatments.

Researchers are evaluating a culturally-tailored, home-based physical activity program designed to improve physical fitness in Hispanic or Latino/Latina adolescent and young adult childhood cancer survivors. These survivors may face long-term effects such as weight gain, fatigue, and reduced fitness after cancer treatment, with Hispanic or Latino/Latina individuals potentially at higher risk. The study aims to increase moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) through a mobile health and social media intervention. The study has two stages. Stage 1 involves developing the intervention using feedback from 20 Latinx survivors who speak either English or Spanish. Stage 2 is a randomized controlled trial comparing the intervention group with a control group that only uses a Fitbit tracker. The intervention group receives Fitbit trackers, weekly reminders, goal-setting sessions, social media peer support 2-3 times a week, badges, monthly Zoom meetings, and may choose a physical activity partner who also receives support. After 12 weeks, a 4-week maintenance phase continues these supports with less structure. The control group wears a Fitbit daily for 12 weeks without additional support. Participants wear Fitbit trackers daily, attend weekly sessions, post on social media, and complete interviews and questionnaires. Researchers measure changes in physical activity levels, sedentary time, quality of life, and cardiometabolic health indicators. Data is collected using Fitbit devices, interviews, and surveys, with follow-up over 12 weeks plus maintenance. Safety and acceptability of the intervention are also assessed throughout the study.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety and effects of nerandomilast in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) who have previously completed treatment with nerandomilast in earlier studies. The study aims to understand how well participants tolerate nerandomilast over time, and whether it helps improve lung function, delays symptom worsening, reduces hospital visits, or impacts survival. This is a Phase 3 open-label extension trial. Participants take nerandomilast tablets daily for up to 1 year and 10 months while continuing their usual pulmonary fibrosis treatments. The study follows an open-label design where all participants receive nerandomilast. There are no placebo or comparator groups in this extension phase. Throughout the study, participants regularly visit their doctors for health assessments and lung function tests. Doctors monitor any health problems or side effects experienced during treatment. The main outcome measured is whether participants experience any adverse events up to the final follow-up visit, which occurs at week 99. This close monitoring helps evaluate the long-term safety and potential benefits of nerandomilast in this patient group.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of combining durvalumab and domvanalimab compared to durvalumab plus placebo in adults with locally advanced (Stage III), unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease has not worsened after definitive platinum-based concurrent chemoradiation therapy. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, international study involves multiple centers. Participants receive intravenous infusions of durvalumab and domvanalimab or durvalumab and placebo. The treatments are given after patients have completed concurrent platinum-based chemotherapy and radiation therapy with a total radiation dose of approximately 60 Gy. The study monitors patients over time to assess treatment effects and safety. During the study, participants undergo evaluations including tumor tissue analysis for PD-L1 status, performance status assessments, and monitoring of organ and marrow function. The main outcome measured is progression-free survival up to 8 years after randomization. Researchers also monitor for any adverse effects and disease progression throughout the study period.

The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety and tolerability after an intravitreal injection (a shot of medicine into the eye) of JNJ-81201887 administered in parent clinical studies.
