This non-interventional study aims to provide information on real-world effectiveness, safety and tolerability, management of adverse events, QoL and patient compliance of patients with HR+/HER2- early breast cancer at high risk of recurrence treated with ribociclib in combination with an aromatase inhibitor (AI) ± luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) with curative intent according to the current effective local summary of product characteristics. In order to put the results of patients treated with ribociclib into perspective, socio-economic data, data on QoL and patient compliance will also be collected from patients treated with abemaciclib + endocrine therapy (ET) ± LHRH as described in the current effective local summary of product characteristics. To understand reasons for treatment decision, and to analyze the clinical adoption of ribociclib + AI ± LHRH after EU approval over time, baseline data will be collected from cohorts of ribociclib + AI ± LHRH, abemaciclib + ET ± LHRH, and additionally from patients treated with ET monotherapy ± LHRH and analyzed cross-sectionally. The study is planned to be rolled out into a broad set of German and Austrian breast centers and gynecological practices to describe clinical routine in a representative subset of the local healthcare eco-system. It will gather insights into the potential benefits and risks associated with ribociclib + AI ± LHRH in the adjuvant treatment of HR+/HER2- eBC patients at high risk of recurrence. This knowledge will inform about clinical decision-making and contribute to improved patient outcomes in routine practice.

This is a prospective observational study to investigate the asthma control and health realted quality of life (HRQL) of benralizumab treated patients in routine clinical practice, their asthma medication intake, and their changes in asthma medication during the study, up to 52 weeks. The asthma control will be analyzed by using the Asthma Control Test (ACT) and the Asthma Impairment and Risk Questionnaire (AIRQ®) at different timepoints during the study period either collected by the investigator or self-reported by the patient. In addition, health realted quality of life will be assessed at baseline and routine follow-up visits using the mini Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (miniAQLQ) which is collected by the investigator. To investigate the medication intake and assess the changes in asthma medication, the patients will record their weekly medication intake in a paper-based or an electronic medication diary throughout the study.

CLL is the most frequent leukemia in industrialized countries. International guidelines agree on diagnosis and management of this disease. The clinical course of CLL is highly variable and can be predicted by clinical staging (according to Rai and Binet) as well as genetic, serum markers and risk models. This study is designed for a randomized comparison of two different, non-chemotherapeutic and fixed-duration modalities for patients with high risk chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and addresses a high medical need, since high risk-CLL represents a so far incurable, aggressive cancer. The high risk-group of CLL patients can be identified by molecular characteristics, allowing the inclusion of a clearly described group of patients: 17p-deletion, TP53-mutation and/or complex karyotype.TP53 defects are the strongest prognostic factors for non-response to chemotherapy. Patients harboring TP53 defects should be treated with chemotherapy-free regimens. Complex karyotype (CKT), defined as the presence of three or more chromosomal aberrations in two or more metaphases is associated with a poorer outcome in various hematologic malignancies, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). In CLL, CKT is one of several well established adverse prognostic factors, comparable to 17p-deletion, TP53-mutation or unmutated IGHV status. Depending on age and prior exposure to chemotherapy, 10-30% of patients with CLL exhibit CKT. A broad body of evidence has suggested a predictive prognostic value of CKT. Despite considerable advances with chemoimmunotherapy in the treatment of frontline as well as relapsed/refractory (r/r) CLL, outcome of patients with CKT remains poor. To date, a randomized comparison to optimize the treatment of patients with high risk disease defined as either the presence of TP53 aberrations or CKT, by novel agents has not been performed. Patients with high risk CLL (TP53-defects and/or CKT) have a poor outcome with chemoimmunotherapy and do not benefit to the same extent from approved regimen such as continuous treatment of ibrutinib or 12 months treatment with obinutuzumab plus venetoclax. Monotherapy with BTK-inhibitor is less effective in those patients as compared with patients without high risk disease. Venetoclax combined with the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody obinutuzumab offers a highly effective fixed-duration treatment option with a manageable toxicity profile. The recent results of the CLL14 study define a new standard of a fixed 12-months treatment with obinutuzumab and venetoclax in previously untreated patients yielding a major benefit also for patients with high risk disease as compared to chemoimmunotherapy. However, high risk patients appear to progress earlier than low risk patients and the therapy is not clearly curative so far. Acalabrutinib is a second generation, selective BTK inhibitor which has shown promising overall response rates in patients with relapsed CLL or patients intolerant to ibrutinib. The development of acalabrutinib focussed on minimization of off-target activity. Results of a three-arm study investigating the combination of acalabrutinib plus obinutuzumab versus acalabrutinib alone versus chlorambucil plus obinutuzumab (NCT02475681) showed a substantial improvement of PFS for the combination arm and the monotherapy versus the standard chemoimmunotherapy regimen. The addition of a BTK-inhibitor, such as acalabrutinib to obinutuzumab and venetoclax has the potential to result in a better outcome, because synergistic effects have been reported between BTK inhibitors and B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) inhibitors or for BCL-2 inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies. Synergistic effects, which are expected to reduce early progressions or insufficient responses, are in particular important for this high risk population. The triple combination of acalabrutinib, obinutuzumab (or rituximab) and venetoclax has been investigated in a phase 1 b- study and had a tolerable safety profile with minimal to no drug-drug interactions, results of a phase 2 trial studying the same combination showed that the triple combination was highly active with 78% undetectable MRD levels in the bone marrow . Currently, the GCLLSG conducts phase 2 studies, investigating a triple combination consisting of BTK- and Bcl2-inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies (CLL2GIVe: NCT02758665; CLL2BAAG: NCT03787264) and a large phase 3 trial with one experimental arm with a triple combination (CLL13, NCT02950051) but results are not yet published. Acalabrutinib, venetoclax and obinutuzumab is now being studied in a registrational phase 3 trial CL-311 (NCT03836261) against the current standard of chemoimmunotherapy (fludarabine/cyclophosphamide/rituximab (FCR), bendamustine/rituximab (BR) in patients without 17p-deletion or TP53-mutation. Acalabrutinib is indicated in Germany as monotherapy or in combination with obinutuzumab for the treatment of adult patients with treatment-naive chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and as monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

This study is to assess the burden of disease in adolescent and adult participants with moderate or severe alopecia areata (AA), non-segmental vitiligo (NSV), or moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) in a large global real-world participant population.

The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of elacestrant versus standard endocrine therapy in participants with node-positive, Estrogen Receptor-positive (ER+), Human Epidermal Growth Factor-2 negative (HER2-) early breast cancer with high risk of recurrence.

The goal of this study is to evaluate nemtabrutinib compared with investigator's choice of ibrutinib or acalabrutinib in participants with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who have not received any prior therapy. The primary hypotheses are that (1) nemtabrutinib is non-inferior to ibrutinib or acalabrutinib with respect to objective response rate (ORR) per International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (iwCLL) Criteria 2018 by blinded independent central review (BICR) and (2) nemtabrutinib is superior to ibrutinib or acalabrutinib with respect to progression free survival (PFS) per iwCLL Criteria 2018 by BICR.

Stage 1 of the study, which is now completed, looked at the safety and tolerability of the drug combinations and helped determine the recommended dose for the next stages. In Stage 2, participants will be grouped based on whether they have a specific genetic mutation called EZH2. All participants will receive treatment in 28-day cycles. After 12 cycles, they will continue with maintenance treatment using either the study drug or a placebo, depending on their original group. The study will include participants with and without the EZH2 mutation. Enrollment may be completed separately for each group. In China, some participants will also have extra blood tests to better understand how the drug behaves in the body. Stage 3 will focus on long-term follow-up to monitor how well the treatment works, how safe it is, and how long participants live. All participants will be followed for up to 5 years after the last person joins the study

One of the standard treatments for women with breast cancer is hormone therapy, but this treatment can cause hot flashes. Hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, is most often prescribed for hot flashes for women in menopause but cannot be given to women on hormone therapy for breast cancer. Fezolinetant, an alternative to HRT, treats hot flashes for women in menopause. As hot flashes happen in the same way for women on hormone therapy for breast cancer, fezolinetant could help these women. In this study, women on hormone therapy for breast cancer who have moderate to severe hot flashes will take part. They will either take fezolinetant or a placebo to treat their hot flashes. The placebo looks like fezolinetant but doesn't have any medicine in it. The main aim of this study is to confirm if women who take fezolinetant have fewer hot flashes that are less severe compared to women who take the placebo. Women 18 years or older seeking treatment for hot flashes. They can take part in the study if they have an average of 7 or more moderate to severe hot flashes each day. They are having hormone therapy for breast cancer from stage 0 (cancer cells that have not spread to nearby tissue) up to stage 3+ (the cancer has spread from the breast to the lymph nodes near the breast or the chest wall). The women will be assigned 1 of 2 study treatments (fezolinetant or placebo) by chance alone. Treatment will be double-blinded. That means that the women in the study and the study doctors will not know who takes which of the study treatments (fezolinetant or placebo). Women who take part in the study will take 1 tablet every day for 52 weeks (1 year). Each woman will be given an electronic handheld device with an app to track their hot flashes on a daily basis. Some women may be able to use the app on their own smartphone. They will also use another device to answer questions about how hot flashes affect their daily life. During the study, the women will visit their study clinic about every 4 weeks for a health check. The last clinic visit will be 3 weeks after the women take their last tablet of study treatment (fezolinetant or placebo). After this visit the women will be called twice to check their health. The women will be in the study for about 2 years.

This is a Phase III, randomized, open-label multicenter study that will evaluate the efficacy and safety of giredestrant compared with fulvestrant, both in combination with the investigator's choice of a CDK4/6 inhibitor (palbociclib, ribociclib or abemaciclib), in participants with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer who have developed resistance to adjuvant endocrine therapy.

WAYFIND-R is a registry that aims to capture high-quality real-world data linking next-generation sequencing, treatments and outcomes from cancer patients diagnosed with a solid tumour. The WAYFIND-R has three main overarching objectives: 1. To provide a platform to support the design and conduct of clinical and epidemiological research; 2. To develop an evidence-generation platform to better understand health outcomes and cancer care processes; and 3. To characterize the treatments and clinical course of solid tumor cancers in patients who have undergone NGS testing.
