Researchers are studying treatments for locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer mCRC that cannot be removed by surgery and has a specific KRAS G12C gene mutation. This trial aims to evaluate if adding the targeted therapies calderasib and cetuximab to the standard chemotherapy regimen mFOLFOX6 can provide better outcomes compared to mFOLFOX6 with or without bevacizumab. The study focuses on the safety and tolerability of these combinations and whether they can help people live longer without their cancer growing or spreading. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive calderasib orally, cetuximab every two weeks, and mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy including oxaliplatin, leucovorin or levofolinate calcium, and 5-fluorouracil every two weeks. The other group will receive mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab every two weeks, based on the investigators decision. Treatments will continue until certain stopping criteria are met. During the study, participants will be monitored for side effects and treatment tolerance, with regular assessments of cancer progression. Researchers will measure outcomes such as dose-limiting toxicities, adverse events, progression-free survival, and overall survival. Quality of life will also be evaluated through questionnaires. The study may last up to several years, with monitoring continuing for safety and effectiveness throughout the treatment period and follow-up.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for people with high-risk, localized non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has been completely removed by surgery. The study aims to find out if giving one or two specific treatments after surgery can help prevent the cancer from returning. This Phase 3 trial focuses on participants with Stage I NSCLC who have certain high-risk features. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three groups one group receives intismeran combined with pembrolizumab coformulated with berahyaluronidase alfa, another group receives intismeran alone, and a third group receives a placebo. Intismeran is given as an intramuscular injection, while pembrolizumab with berahyaluronidase alfa is administered subcutaneously. The trial compares disease-free survival among these groups over an extended period. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored regularly with health assessments and questionnaires to evaluate quality of life and physical functioning. Researchers will track how long participants remain free from cancer and observe any side effects or adverse events. The study may last up to several years, with ongoing safety and outcome evaluations to better understand the treatments impact.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and tolerability of delivering gemcitabine directly to the pancreas using an implantable iontophoresis chemotherapy device called ACT-IOP-003. This study focuses on patients with nonmetastatic, locally advanced, nonresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The main goals are to assess device safety, drug levels in the blood before and after treatment, tumor response, and whether side effects are reduced compared to standard intravenous infusion. Participants will have the ACT-IOP-003 device surgically placed on their pancreas at the start of the study. They will receive gemcitabine treatment delivered through this device either once or twice weekly for 8 weeks. The study includes a 4-week screening period before treatment and a 12-week follow-up afterward, totaling 24 weeks of participation. During the study, participants will provide blood, urine, and stool samples to monitor safety and measure gemcitabine levels. Imaging scans, such as CT, will be performed at least three times to evaluate tumor response. Researchers will closely watch for adverse events to determine the maximum tolerated dose and overall safety throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab monotherapy as the first-line treatment for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer mNSCLC whose tumors express high levels of PD-L1. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, multicenter global study focuses on patients with mNSCLC without certain genetic mutations who are suitable for this treatment approach. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. The study compares these two drugs over repeated treatment cycles as first-line therapy. Both treatments are biological agents given by infusion, and the study is designed to monitor their effects over up to approximately five years. During the trial, participants will undergo regular assessments including physical exams, imaging scans such as CT or MRI to measure tumor lesions, and laboratory tests to evaluate organ function. Researchers will closely monitor overall survival, progression-free survival, treatment response, duration of response, and patient-reported outcomes on physical functioning and quality of life. Safety and immunogenicity of rilvegostomig will also be evaluated. Participants are followed and assessed for up to five years to gather comprehensive data on treatment effects and long-term outcomes.

Researchers are collecting data in women who have been exposed to palopegteriparatide during pregnancy to understand the risks to the mother, fetus, and infant. This observational registry study aims to assess pregnancy outcomes, maternal complications, and any adverse effects on the developing fetus, newborn, and infant up to at least one year of age. The study focuses on women with hypoparathyroidism who have been treated with this medication around conception or during pregnancy. Participants include pregnant women who have taken at least one dose of YORVIPATH palopegteriparatide within 15 days before conception or during pregnancy. The medication is prescribed according to normal clinical practice. The study gathers data from these women without altering their treatment and includes only those who provide informed consent or assent with parental consent as applicable. During the study, researchers will collect information on the number of fetuses, pregnancy outcomes, congenital malformations, adverse events, hospitalizations, growth and development milestones, signs of calcium imbalance, infant developmental issues, mortality, and maternal complications. Data will be tracked up to 21 months after exposure to understand both short- and longer-term effects. Participants will provide medical information through healthcare providers, and ongoing monitoring will support safety assessments throughout this period.

This research aims to gather long-term safety and effectiveness information for people treated with ibrutinib, a medicine taken by mouth that blocks a specific enzyme called brutons tyrosine kinase. The study focuses on participants who previously took part in ibrutinib studies that have finished and are still receiving ibrutinib treatment, continuing to benefit from it. It is an open-label study, meaning both participants and researchers know the treatment being given. Participants will continue taking ibrutinib capsules daily at the dose they were given in their prior study until the doctor decides the treatment is no longer helpful due to disease progression or side effects, the participant chooses to stop, other treatment options become available, or the study ends. Safety will be monitored throughout, and effectiveness data may be combined with previous study results. No formal testing of hypotheses is planned in this extension. During the study, participants will be regularly monitored for safety and disease status. The main outcome is the number of participants experiencing side effects within 30 days after the last ibrutinib dose or before starting another cancer therapy. Participants may continue treatment until alternative access to ibrutinib is arranged or the study ends, which is planned for December 2029. Researchers will collect ongoing data to understand the long-term effects of ibrutinib treatment.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety and tolerability of intermittent use of elismetrep in adults who experience acute migraine attacks. This Phase 3 study aims to monitor adverse events and overall safety during an average of one year of treatment. The study is conducted by Kallyope Inc. and compares two doses of elismetrep with a placebo using a randomized, triple-blind design. Participants will receive oral doses of elismetrep at either 10 mg or 20 mg, or a matching placebo. The study focuses on intermittent use during acute migraine episodes. Participants must have completed a prior acute treatment trial of elismetrep and meet compliance criteria. Treatment and assessments continue through the study duration, averaging one year. During the trial, participants will be monitored for any treatment-emergent adverse events, serious adverse events, and events leading to discontinuation. They will use a personal smartphone to complete eDiary check-ins and questionnaires, including assessments at 2 and 4 hours post-dose during migraine attacks. Safety and tolerability data will be collected throughout, with study participation lasting approximately one year.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of elecoglipron, an oral tablet taken once daily, for weight management in adults with obesity or overweight. This Phase III global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial includes two independent pivotal studies one in adults without type 2 diabetes T2DM and the other in adults with T2DM, all having at least one weight-related health condition. The goal is to understand how elecoglipron compares to placebo when combined with diet and exercise. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either one of two doses of elecoglipron or a matching placebo daily. Study 1 involves about 3000 adults living with obesity or overweight without T2DM, while Study 2 involves about 1500 adults with obesity or overweight and T2DM. Both studies last 72 weeks, during which changes in body weight and other health measures will be monitored. During the trial, participants will undergo regular health assessments including measurements of body weight, waist circumference, blood sugar control, blood pressure, and other related health indicators. Researchers will track percent change in body weight from baseline at 72 weeks as the primary outcome. Participants will be monitored closely throughout the study to assess safety and effectiveness of the treatment in managing weight and associated health conditions.

This research aims to evaluate the Mechanical Tissue Resuscitation MTR therapy system for removing excess fluid in patients who have undergone surgery removing a portion of the skull, exposing the dura or brain, and requiring fluid drainage. The study includes patients aged 22 to 65 who need craniotomy, craniectomy, or cranioplasty and require placement of a Jackson Pratt drain or equivalent. The trial is a multi-center, early feasibility study conducted in phases based on patient condition severity. Participants will receive the MTR device therapy for up to 7 days to externally drain fluid from the surgical site. The study has three phases Phase 1 includes patients undergoing elective procedures Phase 2 involves patients with mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injury TBI with a Glasgow Coma Scale GCS of 9 or above and two reactive pupils Phase 3 includes patients with severe TBI defined by a GCS of 7 or 8 and two reactive pupils. Treatment is followed by an evaluation about one month after therapy. During the study, patients will be monitored for safety and effectiveness of the MTR therapy over 30 days. Researchers will assess the ability to remove fluid during the 7-day treatment, record any adverse events, and gather feedback on ease of device use from operators and healthcare professionals on the day of surgery. Data integrity will also be monitored. The total participation includes treatment and follow-up assessments to evaluate outcomes and safety.

Researchers are studying the use of unlicensed cryopreserved cord blood units CBUs for transplantation in both children and adults with blood cancers and other related disorders. This observational study involves patients with hematologic malignancies and various inherited and acquired disorders affecting the blood and immune system. The main goal is to monitor how well neutrophil recovery occurs after transplantation using these unlicensed CBUs in multiple institutions. Participants receive unlicensed cryopreserved CBUs as part of their transplant treatment. The study includes patients of any age receiving these CBUs for approved indications. The protocol focuses on the access and distribution of these unlicensed units rather than a specific treatment intervention. The study gathers data from recipients who receive these CBUs, tracking outcomes after transplantation. Participants are monitored for neutrophil recovery at 60 and 100 days after transplant, defined by a neutrophil count of at least 500mm3. Researchers also collect information on infection transmission, infusion reactions, survival rates at one year, and incidence of acute and chronic graft versus host disease. Platelet recovery is also evaluated. Safety and efficacy outcomes are followed over time to better understand the effects of unlicensed CBUs in this patient population.
