This trial enrolls participants from previous studies evaluating adagrasib either alone or combined with other cancer therapies in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and other advanced solid tumors. It is an open-label continuation study designed to provide long-term treatment for cancer patients who have already participated in those parent trials. The study is sponsored by Mirati Therapeutics Inc. and focuses on treatment of solid tumors. Participants receive adagrasib and may also receive other cancer drugs such as pembrolizumab, cetuximab, pemetrexed, docetaxel, irinotecan, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and fluorouracil. The dosing and schedule are specified but depend on the parent study protocols. This trial includes multiple experimental arms reflecting different treatment combinations or regimens, continuing treatment for eligible patients who showed clinical benefit in the parent studies. During the study, participants are monitored for adverse events up to 90 days after their last dose or if they discontinue treatment. Researchers track serious adverse events, treatment-related discontinuations, and deaths related to adverse events. Participation involves ongoing treatment and safety assessments, with the study lasting until the primary completion date in February 2028. The study does not include healthy volunteers and involves adults aged 18 years and older.

Researchers are evaluating the characteristics and outcomes of individuals with asthma across different levels of disease severity in routine clinical practice. The study aims to describe participants sociodemographic and clinical features, treatment patterns, disease burden, biomarkers, and both asthma-specific and general quality of life. This research includes both a cross-sectional analysis and a prospective follow-up to observe changes in disease progression over time. The study involves participants receiving standard asthma care, including treatment with varying doses of inhaled corticosteroids andor biologic therapies. Participants are grouped based on asthma control levels and biomarker status. The first part of the study collects baseline data cross-sectionally, while the second part follows participants prospectively to assess differences in asthma symptom control, treatment use, lung function, and comorbidities over a two-year period. Participants will be involved in scheduled data collection including patient and physician-reported outcomes, lung function tests, blood samples, and questionnaires assessing quality of life and symptom control. The study monitors treatment utilization and health resource use from the prior year and during follow-up visits at one and two years. The total participation period spans up to two years with ongoing assessment of disease characteristics and outcomes.

Researchers are evaluating treatments for patients with BRAF-V600 mutant melanoma that has spread to the brain. This phase II trial compares two combinations encorafenib, binimetinib, and nivolumab versus ipilimumab and nivolumab. The study aims to determine which approach is more effective at shrinking and controlling brain metastases, and it also examines survival, response rates, and treatment safety. Patients are randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. One group takes encorafenib daily by mouth, binimetinib twice daily by mouth, and receives nivolumab through an intravenous IV infusion every 28 days. The other group receives nivolumab IV every cycle and ipilimumab IV over 30 minutes during the first four cycles, with cycles repeating every 21 days initially, then every 28 days. Treatment continues unless disease worsens or side effects become unacceptable. Participants undergo brain MRI scans before enrollment and throughout the study to assess tumor response using specific criteria. After completing treatment, patients are followed every six months for two years, then yearly up to three years. The study collects tissue, blood, spinal fluid, and stool samples for future research. Researchers monitor progression-free survival as the main outcome, along with overall survival, response rates, and treatment side effects.

Researchers are studying two surgical procedures to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer in women with BRCA1 genetic mutations. This trial compares bilateral salpingectomy, which removes only the fallopian tubes, with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, which removes both fallopian tubes and ovaries. The goal is to find out if removing just the fallopian tubes with delayed ovary removal is nearly as effective as removing both from the start. Participants choose between two groups one undergoes bilateral salpingectomy with the option of later ovary removal, and the other undergoes bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Both groups have imaging tests like pelvic ultrasounds or pelvic MRIs during screening and provide blood samples throughout the study. Follow-up visits occur at multiple time points, including 10 to 60 days, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, and then yearly for up to 20 years. During the study, researchers track if ovarian or related cancers develop and assess symptoms related to estrogen loss, quality of life, cancer-related distress, sexual function, menopausal symptoms, medical decision making, and any adverse events. Various questionnaires and imaging tests support these evaluations. Long-term safety and cancer risk reduction are monitored for up to two decades after surgery.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of remibrutinib compared to dupilumab as add-on treatments for adults with moderate to severe chronic spontaneous urticaria CSU that is not well controlled by second generation H1-antihistamines sgH1-AH. This Phase 3b, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy study focuses on early treatment effects within 4 weeks. The study addresses the need for better management of CSU symptoms such as hives and itch. Participants will be assigned to one of two treatment groups one group will receive remibrutinib tablets twice daily plus placebo injections, while the other group will receive dupilumab injections with matching placebo tablets. Both groups continue their stable background therapy of sgH1-AH daily. The study includes a screening period up to 4 weeks, a 12-week core double-blind treatment period, and an optional 12-week open-label extension where all participants may receive remibrutinib if it is not commercially available. After treatment, safety follow-up occurs for up to 12 weeks, with phone calls and possible site visits. Participants will be monitored through regular assessments including symptom severity scores, urticaria activity scores, and daily diaries. Safety follow-up includes phone calls and visits depending on treatment continuation. The main outcome is the change in weekly urticaria activity score at Week 4. Other measures include severity of hives and itch at Weeks 1 and 4. Total study participation may last up to 24 weeks, including optional extension and follow-up phases.

This trial investigates monitoring and treatment options for patients with low risk and standard risk metastatic germ cell tumors, which are cancers that start in the cells that produce sperm or eggs. The study aims to find out if active surveillance after surgical removal of low risk tumors can maintain high survival rates, and whether carboplatin or cisplatin chemotherapy works better for treating standard risk tumors in children, adolescents, and young adults. Patients with low risk tumors undergo observation after surgery and may transfer to a standard risk treatment arm if the tumor recurs. Those with standard risk tumors are randomly assigned to receive one of two chemotherapy regimens one containing carboplatin, bleomycin, and etoposide, or the other containing cisplatin, bleomycin, and etoposide. Treatments are given intravenously in cycles every 21 days for up to 3 or 4 cycles depending on the group. Throughout the study, patients have imaging scans, blood tests, tumor biopsies, and pulmonary function tests to monitor response and side effects. Participants are followed closely during treatment and afterward with regular check-ups including CT, MRI, and chest X-rays, as well as blood sample collections. Follow-up visits occur every 2 months for the first year, then every 3-6 months up to 2 years, every 6 months for years 3 to 5, and annually up to 10 years. Researchers measure overall survival, event-free survival, hearing loss, body composition, tumor markers, and patient-reported outcomes related to hearing and neuropathy. This long-term monitoring helps assess the effects and safety of chemotherapy and surveillance strategies.

Researchers are studying the effects of adding olaparib, a PARP inhibitor, after surgery and chemotherapy in patients with pancreatic cancer that has been surgically removed and who have mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 genes. This phase II trial aims to see if olaparib can improve relapse-free survival compared to placebo. The study also evaluates overall survival and differences in outcomes based on mutation type and prior chemotherapy treatment. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either olaparib or a placebo orally twice daily in 28-day cycles for up to 12 cycles, unless the disease progresses or side effects occur. During the treatment, patients will have CT or MRI scans and blood samples taken regularly. After treatment, participants will be followed up at 30 days, every 4 months for the first year, then every 6 months for up to 10 years. Throughout the study, patients will undergo imaging and blood tests to monitor their health and detect any recurrence of cancer. The main outcome measured is the time from randomization to disease recurrence or death. Researchers will also track overall survival for up to 10 years. Safety will be monitored, and participants will be observed regularly after treatment to assess long-term effects and disease status.

Researchers are evaluating the use of carboplatin chemotherapy given before surgery in patients with high-risk prostate cancer who have inherited mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes. This phase II trial aims to determine how well carboplatin works in shrinking tumors prior to surgery and to assess its impact on disease progression and survival. The study also monitors treatment side effects and collects tissue samples for future research. Participants receive carboplatin intravenously before undergoing prostate surgery. Those who show signs of disease progression after surgery will have imaging tests such as CT, MRI, chest X-ray, or PSMA PET scans. Blood samples are collected throughout the trial to monitor health and support additional studies. The study includes detailed follow-up to evaluate treatment outcomes and safety. During the trial, participants will have regular assessments including physical exams, PSA tests, and imaging scans if needed. Researchers will review the rate of complete tumor response after carboplatin treatment at surgery and track progression-free survival and overall survival over time. Safety and side effects of the treatment are closely monitored. Participation may last up to five years with ongoing collection of health data and specimens.

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.

This research aims to establish a national biorepository by collecting research data and samples from patients who experience side effects from immunotherapy treatments used in cancer care. It focuses on patients who have serious immune-related reactions, rare infections, or accelerated tumor growth after receiving immuno-oncology therapies. The goal is to help researchers better predict, prevent, and treat these side effects in the future. Participants will have tissue and blood samples collected within 72 hours after confirmation of a serious immune-related side effect and again one month later. For patients experiencing colitis, stool samples may also be collected. Alongside sample collection, medical records will be reviewed for up to one year. This study is observational and involves no experimental treatments. During the study, participants will provide biospecimens at two time points and allow access to their medical records for a year. Researchers will analyze these samples and clinical data to build a resource for future studies on immune-related adverse events. The main outcome is the establishment of this biorepository, which will be maintained for up to one year after enrollment.
