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.

Those not entering the OLE will have a 45-day follow-up after the maintenance period. There are up to 32 on-site visits in total, with 21 visits during the maintenance phase and 11 during the extension. During the study, participants will have clinical assessments including endoscopy to evaluate remission and mucosal healing, symptom tracking such as bowel urgency and abdominal pain, and quality of life questionnaires. Safety is monitored through adverse event reporting and blood tests for drug concentrations and antibodies. The primary outcome is the proportion of participants achieving clinical remission by the modified Mayo Score at Week 40, with follow-up continuing up to 286 weeks for some participants.

Researchers are evaluating zanidatamab combined with chemotherapy for treating people with HER2-positive, early-stage breast cancer. This phase 2 study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of this combination compared to standard treatments in participants with newly diagnosed stage II or III invasive breast carcinoma. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups zanidatamab with paclitaxel, zanidatamab with docetaxel and carboplatin, or trastuzumab and pertuzumab with docetaxel and carboplatin. All study drugs are administered intravenously. After neoadjuvant therapy, participants will undergo either mastectomy or breast conserving surgery as decided by their physician. During the study, participants will have their response to treatment assessed through measurements such as pathologic complete response and residual cancer burden classification up to 8 months. Safety is monitored by tracking treatment-related adverse events up to 23 months. Other assessments include survival outcomes up to 46 months and serum concentrations of zanidatamab. The study participation may last several years to capture these outcomes.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of the experimental drug ACR-368 alone or combined with ultra-low dose gemcitabine ULDG sensitization in participants with high-grade endometrial cancer. This Phase 2 open-label study divides participants into groups based on a test called OncoSignature, which predicts tumor sensitivity to ACR-368. Some groups receive ACR-368 alone while others receive it with ULDG, and treatment continues until disease progresses or unacceptable side effects occur. Participants are assigned to four different arms Arm 1 includes OncoSignature Positive tumors treated with ACR-368 alone Arm 2 includes OncoSignature Negative tumors treated with ACR-368 plus ULDG sensitization Arm 3 and Arm 4 include participants without OncoSignature selection, receiving either ACR-368 with ULDG or ACR-368 alone, respectively. Participants in the European Union are only enrolled in the unselected groups Arms 3 and 4. Treatment is administered continuously until progression, toxicity, or withdrawal. During the study, participants undergo tumor assessments every 8 weeks for up to two years or until death to measure anti-tumor activity. Safety is monitored by recording adverse events and pharmacokinetic testing occurs at specific times during the first treatment cycle. Other outcomes include overall survival, duration of response, and progression-free survival. Participants provide tumor tissue samples either from new biopsies or archival tissue depending on their assigned arm. The study runs from screening through treatment and follow-up until study completion in November 2027.

Researchers are conducting a Phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate the drug DT120 compared to placebo in adults aged 18 to 74 years diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder MDD. Participants must have a confirmed diagnosis according to the DSM-5, be experiencing a major depressive episode lasting between 8 weeks and 24 months, and have certain minimum scores on depression severity scales. The study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of DT120 in treating MDD symptoms. The study includes a 12-week randomized, double-blind period where participants receive a single dose of either DT120 or placebo. After this, eligible participants can enter a 40-week open-label extension phase where all receive DT120 and are monitored for safety and symptom changes, with the possibility of retreatment based on specific criteria. The study drug works mainly through serotonin 2A receptor activity. Participants will undergo various assessments throughout the study, including regular evaluations of depression severity using the Montgomery-sberg Depression Rating Scale MADRS, Clinical Global Impression scales, anxiety rating, quality of life questionnaires, and sexual functioning assessments. The primary outcome is the change in MADRS score at Week 6. Safety and treatment needs will also be monitored during the extension phase. Total participation may last up to 52 weeks, with ongoing monitoring of mood and symptom changes.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of UBT251, a medicine not yet available for prescription, in adults with type 2 diabetes. This study compares UBT251 with semaglutide, an already approved treatment, and their respective placebos. The goal is to see how well different doses of UBT251 lower blood sugar over time. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either UBT251, UBT251 placebo, semaglutide, or semaglutide placebo. All treatments are given once weekly by injection under the skin. The study follows participants over several weeks, measuring effects at weeks 16, 28, and 40, focusing on blood sugar control and body weight changes. Throughout the study, participants will have regular assessments including blood tests to measure glycated hemoglobin HbA1c, insulin resistance, beta-cell function, fasting glucose, body measurements, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and other health markers. Safety is monitored by tracking any adverse events, with total participation lasting up to 40 weeks of treatment plus additional safety follow-up.

Researchers are evaluating alisertib as a single treatment in patients with small cell lung cancer SCLC that has progressed after prior therapies. This Phase 2 study focuses on patients who have already received at least one platinum-based chemotherapy and an anti-PD-L1PD-1 immunotherapy, with allowance for up to two prior treatment regimens in total. The study aims to identify specific biomarker groups that may respond best to alisertib and to assess its effectiveness, safety, and how the body processes the drug. Participants will receive alisertib tablets orally in doses of 50 mg, 60 mg, or 70 mg twice daily for seven days within each 21-day treatment cycle. The dosing amount depends on protocol amendments and is given on a schedule of days 1 to 7 of each cycle. This treatment continues under close monitoring to evaluate patient response and side effects. During the study, participants will be regularly evaluated for response to treatment, including measures such as tumor shrinkage and disease control, lasting up to 36 months after the first dose. Researchers will also assess progression-free survival and overall survival within biomarker-defined groups and the overall enrolled population. Safety is monitored by tracking adverse events from the start of treatment through 28 days after the last dose. Patients will be followed for up to three years to gather comprehensive data on treatment outcomes and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of amivantamab combined with either lazertinib or platinum-based chemotherapy in treating participants who have epidermal growth factor receptor mutated EGFRm non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC. This study focuses on advanced or metastatic NSCLC cases where standard curative treatments are not suitable. It aims to assess the antitumor activity of these treatment combinations in this patient population. Participants receive either amivantamab with oral lazertinib in 28-day cycles or amivantamab with intravenous chemotherapy consisting of carboplatin and pemetrexed in 21-day cycles. Treatment continues until disease progression, participant withdrawal, death, or investigator decision to stop treatment. The study is designed with two separate groups receiving these distinct treatment combinations. Throughout the study, participants will undergo assessments to monitor treatment effects and safety. Researchers will measure progression-free survival as the primary outcome up to 4 years and 6 months, along with secondary outcomes including dose adjustments, adverse events, overall survival, response rates, and duration of response. Participants are followed regularly during treatment to track these outcomes and manage any side effects until the studys completion.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of azenosertib ZN-c3, an oral drug that inhibits WEE1, in people with platinum-resistant, high-grade serous ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. This Phase 2 study includes patients whose tumors test positive for Cyclin E1 protein. The study is designed to understand how azenosertib affects cancer cell growth by allowing damaged cells to continue the cell cycle, leading to cancer cell death. The study has two parts Part 1 included all patients regardless of biomarker status and has completed enrollment. Part 2 focuses on patients with Cyclin E1 positive tumors. Participants receive azenosertib orally at doses of either 300mg or 400mg daily, following a schedule of five days on treatment followed by two days off. Several study arms explore different dosing groups within this intermittent treatment plan. Participants will be monitored for up to approximately 12 months after the last patients enrollment. The study includes regular assessments of tumor response using RECIST criteria, measurement of biomarkers like CA-125, and tracking of side effects. Researchers will measure objective response rate as the primary outcome, along with duration of response, progression-free survival, clinical benefit rate, and treatment-emergent adverse events. This comprehensive monitoring aims to understand the treatments effects and safety profile over time.
