Researchers are investigating new treatment options for breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive HR and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative HER2-, specifically for cases that are unresectable locally advanced or metastatic. This type of breast cancer involves cancer cells that depend on hormones like estrogen or progesterone and have low HER2 protein levels. The study focuses on comparing the effects of patritumab deruxtecan against chemotherapy or trastuzumab deruxtecan in patients whose cancer has progressed despite prior treatments. Participants receive either patritumab deruxtecan through intravenous infusions every three weeks for about 13 months or a treatment chosen by their physician, which may include various chemotherapy drugs or trastuzumab deruxtecan, administered according to specific schedules for up to 13 months. The study is randomized and open-label, meaning participants are randomly assigned to one of the treatment groups, and both the patients and researchers know which treatment is given. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular assessments to monitor cancer progression and overall survival for up to approximately 85 months. Researchers evaluate tumor response, duration of response, and changes in quality of life using standardized questionnaires. Safety is carefully monitored by recording adverse events and treatment discontinuations. The goal is to understand if patritumab deruxtecan can improve outcomes compared to current treatment options.

Researchers are evaluating treatments for germinal center B-cell-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma GCB DLBCL, a fast-growing blood cancer affecting immature B-cells. The study compares two treatment combinations to see if more people respond to zilovertamab vedotin MK-2140 plus R-CHP versus polatuzumab vedotin plus R-CHP. This Phase 2 trial aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of these regimens in participants with newly diagnosed GCB DLBCL. Participants receive either zilovertamab vedotin along with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone R-CHP, or polatuzumab vedotin combined with R-CHP. Treatments are given by intravenous infusion on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for up to 6 cycles, approximately 4 months, with prednisone or prednisolone taken orally for 5 days of each cycle. For participants with high-risk DLBCL, up to 2 additional cycles of rituximab or biosimilar are given. During the study, participants are monitored for response to treatment using Lugano Response Criteria, with follow-up lasting up to about 31 months for the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes include progression-free survival, overall survival, event-free survival, duration of complete response, adverse events, and quality of life assessments. Safety and health status are regularly checked through exams, lab tests, and questionnaires over several years, with total study participation extending up to 7 years.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab, both combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, as a first-line treatment for patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC whose tumors express PD-L1 at levels of 1% or higher. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, global study aims to compare these treatments to improve outcomes for this patient group. Participants will receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab, each given intravenously on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle, combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy either carboplatin or cisplatin also given on Day 1 of each cycle for up to four cycles.

Safety is closely observed throughout, with study visits scheduled regularly during treatment and follow-up periods, lasting up to six years in total.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of rilvegostomig combined with platinum-based chemotherapy compared to pembrolizumab combined with platinum-based chemotherapy as a first treatment for patients with locally advanced or metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer mNSCLC whose tumors express programmed death-ligand 1 PD-L1. This Phase III global study focuses on patients with PD-L1 tumor cell expression of 1% or higher and aims to determine which treatment provides better overall and progression-free survival. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two study groups one group will receive rilvegostomig plus carboplatin and either paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy, while the other group will receive pembrolizumab plus the same chemotherapy options. Rilvegostomig and pembrolizumab are both given intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, with chemotherapy given up to 4 cycles. Nab-paclitaxel may be administered on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle. Treatment continues with rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab until disease progression or other criteria are met. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor response, laboratory tests to monitor organ function, and patient questionnaires about physical function and quality of life. Researchers will track overall survival, progression-free survival, response rates, and duration of response for up to approximately 6 years. Safety and immune response to rilvegostomig will also be evaluated. Participants will be closely monitored throughout the treatment and follow-up periods.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of volrustomig compared to observation in participants with unresected locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma LA-HNSCC who have not progressed after receiving definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy cCRT. This phase III, randomized, open-label global study aims to assess whether volrustomig can improve outcomes in this patient population. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups those who receive volrustomig as sequential therapy, and those who undergo observation without additional treatment. The study compares these two approaches following prior curative concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The trial includes long-term follow-up to monitor patient outcomes. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed for progression-free survival, overall survival, physical functioning, and quality of life. Researchers will also monitor for the presence of anti-drug antibodies and adverse events related to volrustomig. Follow-up evaluations may continue for up to approximately eight years to fully understand the treatment impact and safety profile.

This research aims to gather detailed molecular and clinical data from patients with hematologic cancers like Acute Myeloid Leukemia AML and Follicular Lymphoma FL. It is an observational study designed to explore how biomarkers relate to real-world outcomes in these conditions by following patients over time. The study is conducted by Tempus AI and involves multiple patient groups with different disease stages and risks. Participants are grouped mainly into newly diagnosed AML patients and various subgroups of Follicular Lymphoma patients categorized by disease status and treatment plans. The study involves collecting blood samples and leftover tissue or bone marrow during their routine medical care and monitoring without any investigational treatments or interventions. These samples will be analyzed to understand disease progression and response. During the study, participants undergo serial blood draws and provide tissue or bone marrow samples as part of their normal care. Researchers will examine molecular markers and link these findings to clinical outcomes over five years. The study does not involve any treatments and focuses entirely on observation and data collection. Participation may last up to several years, with ongoing monitoring of health and disease status.
