Researchers are evaluating a drug called sigvotatug vedotin SGN-B6A alone and in combination with pembrolizumab, with or without chemotherapy, to assess its safety and effects in people with advanced solid tumors. This Phase 1 study aims to determine the side effects and whether sigvotatug vedotin works to treat various solid tumors including lung, head and neck, breast, esophageal, skin, pancreatic, bladder, cervical, gastric, and ovarian cancers. The study is divided into four parts to explore dosage, safety, and combination treatments. Participants may receive sigvotatug vedotin alone or combined with pembrolizumab, sometimes alongside chemotherapy drugs carboplatin or cisplatin, depending on the study part. Part A focuses on finding the right dose of sigvotatug vedotin. Part B uses this dose to further test safety and effectiveness. Parts C and D study the drug combined with pembrolizumab and possibly chemotherapy in different tumor types and treatment settings, including people who have not previously received treatment. Treatments are given intravenously, with pembrolizumab administered every 3 or 6 weeks and chemotherapy every 3 weeks. During the study, participants undergo tumor biopsies, clinical evaluations, and monitoring for side effects, including blood tests and safety assessments. Researchers track adverse events, lab abnormalities, and dose-limiting toxicities up to 30-37 days after treatment, with some follow-up extending up to 3 years. They also measure tumor response using standard criteria and monitor survival and drug levels in the body. Participants will have regular visits for treatment and assessments throughout the study duration, which may last several years.

Researchers are evaluating whether combining the investigational drug PF-06821497 with enzalutamide works better than enzalutamide alone in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer mCRPC who have not yet received certain advanced anti-cancer treatments. This global, multicenter, randomized Phase 3 study focuses on participants who have not been treated with androgen receptor signaling inhibitors like enzalutamide or abiraterone before, except for androgen deprivation therapy or first-generation anti-androgen agents. The study is sponsored by Pfizer and aims to assess treatment effects in this patient population. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups one group will receive PF-06821497 875 mg twice daily combined with enzalutamide 160 mg once daily, while the other will receive a placebo twice daily plus enzalutamide 160 mg once daily. The study includes several phases screening, randomization, treatment, safety follow-up, and long-term follow-up. Treatment continues over a period of up to approximately three years for primary outcomes, with ongoing assessments for up to five years for some secondary outcomes. During the study, participants will undergo various assessments including scans to monitor disease progression, blood tests to measure prostate-specific antigen levels and circulating tumor DNA, patient-reported pain and quality of life questionnaires, and evaluations of adverse events. The primary outcome is radiographic progression-free survival measured from randomization up to about three years. Safety and long-term effects will be monitored through follow-up visits lasting up to five years. Participants will be followed closely throughout the study duration to track treatment impact and side effects.

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 collecting and storing tissue and blood samples from patients with various types of cancer to help create better models for studying cancer and testing new cancer drugs. This observational study focuses on patients with hematopoietic and lymphatic system neoplasms, malignant solid tumors, metastatic malignant solid tumors, and recurrent malignant solid tumors. The goal is to procure biological tissues and materials to develop preclinical cancer models for future laboratory analysis. During the study, tumor tissue and blood samples are collected during medical procedures required for the patients cancer treatment. These samples are then preserved using methods such as xenograft models, where tissues are transplanted to another species, or in vitro cell cultures. This process allows for future scientific study without additional invasive procedures beyond routine clinical care. Participants will be involved in routine clinical procedures during which tissue and blood samples are collected. Researchers will store these specimens and monitor their use in creating cancer models over a period of up to five years. The main outcome measured is the successful procurement and storage of tissue and blood specimens for research purposes. Participation will continue as long as samples can be collected during clinical management, with no additional treatment or interventions required specifically for this study.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of lenalidomide and dexamethasone with or without daratumumab in treating patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma. This phase III trial aims to compare overall survival, progression-free survival, response rates, and safety between these treatments. The study also explores patient-reported quality of life, treatment adherence, minimal residual disease status, and imaging associations during therapy. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. The first group receives daratumumab intravenously on a detailed schedule across up to 24 courses, plus oral lenalidomide daily for 21 days and dexamethasone on specific days during the first 12 courses. The second group receives only oral lenalidomide and dexamethasone on a similar schedule for up to 24 courses. Treatment cycles repeat every 28 days unless disease progression or unacceptable side effects occur. During the study, participants complete quality-of-life questionnaires and undergo laboratory tests, including minimal residual disease assessments and PETCT imaging. Safety is closely monitored, especially infusion-related reactions and toxicity. After treatment, patients are followed for up to 15 years with periodic visits every 3 to 12 months to track long-term outcomes and survival.

Researchers are evaluating the use of Tumor Treating Fields TTFields delivered by the NovoTTF-200T device together with pembrolizumab and platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with advanced metastatic non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC. This phase 3 randomized study, called LUNAR-2, aims to assess overall survival and progression-free survival, comparing this combination treatment to pembrolizumab and chemotherapy alone. Secondary goals include analyzing outcomes based on lung cancer subtypes and PD-L1 expression levels. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups one group receives TTFields using the portable NovoTTF-200T device along with pembrolizumab and platinum-based chemotherapy, while the other group receives pembrolizumab and chemotherapy without TTFields. The NovoTTF-200T delivers electric fields continuously at 150kHz to disrupt cancer cell division. Treatments are administered concurrently during the study period. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for survival outcomes up to six years, including overall survival and progression-free survival measured by standard criteria. Researchers will also track response rates, duration of response, disease control rates, and adverse events. Participants will undergo regular evaluations to assess treatment effects and safety, with follow-up continuing for up to six years after treatment begins.

Researchers are evaluating a master screening protocol called Lung-MAP for patients with previously treated non-small cell lung cancer. This phase IIIII trial aims to develop a genomic screening method for large cancer populations and assign participants to appropriate sub-studies based on specific cancer biomarkers. The goal is to compare new targeted therapies designed to block cancer growth or spread with standard care, including sub-studies for patients not eligible for biomarker-driven treatments. The study involves screening patient specimens to determine eligibility for various biomarker-driven or non-matched sub-studies within the Lung-MAP umbrella protocol. This is a screening study without direct interventions instead, patients are assigned to different treatment sub-studies, each operating independently. The protocol also includes an optional ancillary study evaluating attitudes about the return of somatic mutation findings suggestive of germline mutations. Participants provide tumor tissue for biomarker testing, including molecular profiling and PD-L1 analysis, and may submit fresh biopsies and blood samples for circulating tumor DNA testing. Researchers will monitor screening success rates up to three years and collect patient and physician feedback on genetic findings. Participation involves signing informed consent, providing smoking history, and possibly completing surveys. The study duration and assessments vary depending on sub-study assignment and patient progression.

Researchers are evaluating patients with metastatic HER-2-positive breast cancer who are receiving trastuzumab-based therapy and are at risk of heart problems. The study includes two groups one large observational group taking beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, or ARBs alongside trastuzumab, and a smaller randomized group comparing the effects of carvedilol versus no treatment. The aim is to understand the occurrence of heart issues and whether carvedilol might help prevent cardiac side effects from chemotherapy. Participants are assigned to one of three arms based on their current medications. Patients not on beta blockers, ARBs, or ACE inhibitors are randomized to either receive carvedilol orally twice daily or no study intervention. Those already taking these heart medications enter an observational arm without additional treatment. Treatment and observation continue for up to 108 weeks unless disease progression or unacceptable side effects occur. Throughout the study, participants undergo heart function monitoring with echocardiograms every 12 weeks and provide blood samples for biomarker analysis. Researchers track the time to the first sign of heart dysfunction and any cardiac events, as well as adherence to medication and side effects. The study also collects data to develop models predicting heart risk and banks samples for future research. Participant involvement may last over two years with regular assessments to monitor safety and heart health.

Researchers are evaluating how well serum tumor marker directed disease monitoring STMDDM works compared to usual care in patients with hormone receptor positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. This trial aims to see if monitoring with serum tumor markers can provide similar overall survival outcomes to the standard approach, which involves regular imaging scans. The study also looks at healthcare costs, patient anxiety, and quality of life related to these monitoring methods. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. In the usual care group, patients receive imaging studies at least every 12 weeks and may have serum tumor marker tests as determined by their doctor. In the STMDDM group, patients have blood tests for specific tumor markers every 4 to 8 weeks, and imaging scans are only done if these markers indicate a possible progression of disease. Both groups continue their monitoring for up to 312 weeks unless the disease progresses. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including blood tests for tumor markers, imaging scans as needed, and questionnaires about anxiety and quality of life. Researchers track overall survival for up to 312 weeks and compare healthcare costs and patient-reported outcomes for up to 48 to 102 weeks. The study also collects data on how often and by what methods disease monitoring is performed, along with patient and physician preferences related to monitoring.

Researchers are evaluating a new medicine called PF-08634404 combined with chemotherapy for adults with colorectal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. The study aims to understand how well this new combination works compared to an existing treatment using Bevacizumab with chemotherapy. The study is a phase 3, double-blind, randomized trial focusing on treatment effectiveness and safety in participants who have not received prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives PF-08634404 with chemotherapy, and the other group receives Bevacizumab with chemotherapy. Both treatments are given through intravenous IV infusions in cycles. Treatment continues as long as it helps and side effects are manageable. Treatments are administered at clinical sites by trained staff. Participants will have regular visits for treatment, health evaluations, and various tests. After stopping treatment, there is a follow-up visit about 30 to 37 days later to review health and side effects. Further follow-up occurs every 12 weeks by phone, in person, or via health record review to monitor health status and any new treatments. The study duration for each participant is approximately 33 months. Researchers will measure progression-free survival, overall survival, response rates, quality of life, and monitor safety throughout the study.
