Researchers are looking for ways to treat germinal center B-cell-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (GCB DLBCL). DLBCL is a fast-growing blood cancer that affects B-cells. GCB is a type of DLBCL that affects young B-cells that are still maturing. The goal of this study is to learn if more people who receive zilovertamab vedotin (MK-2140) and R-CHP have the cancer respond (go away) than those who receive polatuzumab vedotin and R-CHP.

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.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of a medicine called disitamab vedotin for adults with advanced breast cancer that is hard to treat and has spread in the body. This study focuses on participants whose tumors express HER2 and who have received previous treatments for their advanced breast cancer. The goal is to understand how well this medicine works and its safety in these patients through a Phase 1b/2 open-label study. All participants will receive disitamab vedotin intravenously (IV) once every two weeks at the study clinic. They will continue the treatment until they or their doctor decide to stop, which could be due to cancer progression, side effects, or personal choice. During treatment, study visits occur every two weeks. After stopping treatment, participants will have follow-up visits about every six weeks, and later follow-up phone calls approximately every twelve weeks. Participants will undergo evaluations including assessments of their cancer response by the study doctors, following recognized criteria. The study team will monitor the participants for up to about two years or until their disease progresses or they pass away. This includes safety monitoring and collecting information about the medicine’s effects to determine its safety and effectiveness.

Non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a condition where abnormal lung cells grow uncontrollably. This research evaluates the safety and effects of telisotuzumab adizutecan combined with osimertinib, compared to standard care which includes osimertinib plus chemotherapy, as a first treatment for adults with advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutated NSCLC. The study is a Phase 2/3 trial conducted worldwide at about 200 sites, enrolling approximately 854 participants. The study has two stages. In Stage 1, participants receive increasing intravenous doses of telisotuzumab adizutecan along with oral osimertinib tablets, or standard care with osimertinib plus chemotherapy (cisplatin or carboplatin plus pemetrexed). Participants are then randomized into four groups to continue one of three telisotuzumab adizutecan doses with osimertinib or the standard care. In Stage 2, participants receive the optimal dose of telisotuzumab adizutecan with osimertinib or the standard care. Treatment and assessments may continue for up to approximately 76 months. Participants attend regular visits at approved hospitals or clinics for medical evaluations, blood tests, questionnaires, and side effect monitoring throughout the study. Researchers assess treatment response, progression-free survival, and adverse events. Tumor response is measured by blinded independent review using standardized criteria. The study aims to closely monitor safety and disease changes during the treatment period lasting up to about 6 years and 4 months.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of the medicine PF-07248144 combined with fulvestrant for treating hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer. This type of breast cancer involves cancer cells that grow in response to hormones like estrogen and progesterone but have little or no HER2 protein. The study focuses on people whose breast cancer worsened after treatment with cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor therapy. The trial is a phase 3, open-label, randomized study comparing PF-07248144 plus fulvestrant to other therapies chosen by doctors. Participants will receive either PF-07248144 tablets daily at home in 28-day cycles combined with fulvestrant injections at the clinic, or the usual treatment of everolimus tablets with endocrine therapy (either exemestane or fulvestrant). The study doctor will help decide the hormone therapy before starting treatment. The trial compares the experiences of those taking PF-07248144 plus fulvestrant with those receiving standard treatments to assess safety and effectiveness. During the study, researchers will monitor participants for disease progression or death, using blinded independent central review based on standard tumor response criteria. The main outcome measure is progression-free survival for up to about 2 years from randomization. Regular assessments, including clinical visits for injections and evaluations, will help track treatment effects and safety throughout the study.

Researchers are evaluating the study medicine PF-08046054 compared to the standard chemotherapy drug docetaxel in adults with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery or radiation. Participants must have PD-L1 expression on 1% or more of their tumor cells and have experienced cancer progression during or after treatment with PD-L1 or PD-1 inhibitors, platinum-based chemotherapy, and targeted therapies for those with known genetic mutations. The trial is a Phase 3 randomized study to better understand how well PF-08046054 works alone compared to docetaxel alone. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either PF-08046054 or docetaxel. Those in the PF-08046054 group will get intravenous (IV) infusions twice every 21-day cycle, while those in the docetaxel group will receive one IV infusion every 21 days. The treatment period may last up to 5 years if their NSCLC responds to the therapy. No other treatments are combined during the study period. Throughout the study, participants will have regular clinic visits for evaluations and monitoring to see how they respond to the treatment. Researchers will collect information on overall survival over approximately 5 years. They will also monitor safety and disease progression during these visits to understand the long-term effects and benefits of the treatments.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of an experimental drug combination, fianlimab and cemiplimab, in adults with advanced or metastatic melanoma, a type of skin cancer. This phase 3 study compares this combination with an approved treatment using relatlimab and nivolumab (Opdualag14). The study also investigates possible side effects, drug levels in the blood, and whether the body produces antibodies that might affect the drugs' performance or safety. Participants receive either fianlimab and cemiplimab together through intravenous (IV) infusions every three weeks or the comparator drugs relatlimab and nivolumab by IV every four weeks. The treatment period is followed closely by researchers who monitor how participants respond to the therapies and how well they tolerate them. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including scans and laboratory tests to measure tumor response using standardized criteria (RECIST 1.1). Researchers also monitor safety, immune response, and drug levels for up to 72 months. The study requires participants to have measurable melanoma and good organ function, and they are observed for overall treatment effects and side effects throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of a combination treatment involving adagrasib, pembrolizumab, and chemotherapy for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a KRAS G12C mutation. This Phase 2 trial focuses on patients with PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) of 1% or higher, but less than 50%, who have not received prior systemic therapy for advanced disease. The study aims to assess how well this combination works as a first treatment option for this patient group. Participants receive adagrasib as oral tablets twice daily at a dose of 400 mg. Pembrolizumab and chemotherapy drugs (pemetrexed and either cisplatin or carboplatin) are given by intravenous infusion once every three weeks. The study includes several groups based on prior treatments and PD-L1 levels, with some participants having previously completed induction chemotherapy. Treatments are administered according to these schedules and patient eligibility. During the study, researchers monitor participants for tumor response and progression-free survival over 30 months. They use standard criteria to measure tumor size changes and disease progression. Assessments include clinical evaluations and imaging to track response to treatment. Safety and tolerability are also monitored throughout the study period to understand the effects of the combination therapy on patients.

Researchers are evaluating whether a new medicine called PF-08634404 combined with chemotherapy is more effective than the current standard treatment, pembrolizumab with chemotherapy, for adults with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This Phase 3 study focuses on adults 18 years and older with squamous or non-squamous NSCLC who are not candidates for surgery or curative chemoradiotherapy and have not received prior treatment for advanced disease. The study excludes participants with known actionable genomic alterations and aims to compare overall survival and progression-free survival over approximately 39 and 32 months, respectively. Participants are assigned to two parts based on their tumor type: squamous NSCLC patients in Part 1 and non-squamous NSCLC patients in Part 2. Within each part, participants are randomly assigned to receive either the experimental treatment PF-08634404 or the control treatment pembrolizumab, each combined with a chemotherapy regimen tailored to tumor type. Treatments are given via intravenous infusions in cycles, followed by maintenance therapy with either monotherapy or combination therapy depending on the study part. Treatment continues as long as it is beneficial and side effects remain manageable. During the study, participants will have regular visits for treatment administration and health evaluations. Cancer response will be monitored with tests every 6 weeks for the first 48 weeks and then every 12 weeks afterward. Researchers will assess overall survival and progression-free survival, ensuring thorough monitoring of participants' health and treatment effects throughout the study period.
