Summary

This study is for patients that have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer. The purpose of this study is to compare the usual treatment alone to using pembrolizumab plus the usual treatment. The investigational drug in this study is pembrolizumab. This drug, pembrolizumab is already approved by the FDA for use in patients with more advanced lung cancer. Participants can expect to be on treatment for up to a year. Participants will be followed for up to 10 years after completion of treatment.

Summary

Improving alcohol use disorder (AUD) treatment among Veterans is a national public health problem. The rate of AUD among Veterans is twice that of civilians, with up to 50% of Veterans having AUD. Family-based AUD programs are rarely undertaken in busy treatment clinics, and Veterans with problem drinking behavior or AUD are commonly excluded from couple therapies. As a result, there is a need to develop effective family AUD treatments that are both brief and highly accessible to Veterans.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new treatment add-on called Brief Family-Involved Treatment (B-FIT), which will be delivered via telehealth among Veterans engaged in alcohol-based treatment/therapy.

This study is an 12-week, Stage-II, open randomized controlled trial examining B-FIT in combination with treatment as usual, TAU (i.e., B-FIT + CBT treatment) as compared to TAU alone (i.e., CBT treatment). Veterans and their treatment companion (family member, partner, friend) will complete weekly assessments during the treatment phase in addition to 3 & 6 month follow-up assessments, all via telehealth.

Summary

The purpose of this research is to determine the safety and tolerability, the best dose for future development, as well as antitumor activity of a new antibody drug conjugate (ADC) called MYTX-011. MYTX-011 is a new drug, being studied in humans for the first time for treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The study team is investigating this drug to help treat lung cancers that are resistant to standard medications. This drug targets a protein called cMET on the cancer cell. MYTX-011 will attach to the cMET and release chemotherapy into the cancer cell.

Summary

ZL-1310 is a new experimental treatment designed to tackle small cell lung cancer (SCLC), a particularly aggressive form of lung cancer. The drug is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that specifically targets a protein called delta-like protein 3 (DLL3), found in high amounts in SCLC and other neuroendocrine tumors. The study aims to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and other characteristics of ZL-1310 in patients with SCLC that has relapsed or is resistant to platinum-based treatments. Previous attempts to target DLL3 faced challenges, and ZL-1310 seeks to overcome these issues, providing a potential breakthrough in treating SCLC, where current options are limited, and relapse rates are high. The study hopes to shed light on ZL-1310's potential as a novel and more effective therapy for patients facing few alternatives and poor prognoses.

Summary

This research study is testing a new treatment plan for patients with a type of lung cancer that can be surgically removed. The study focuses on patients who have not had complete success with initial treatments before surgery. The treatment plan includes a combination of chemotherapy and a drug called pembrolizumab before surgery, followed by surgery to remove the cancer, and then more pembrolizumab with or without another drug called MK-2870 after surgery.

The goal is to see if adding MK-2870 can help improve the chances of recovery and prevent the cancer from coming back in patients who didn't respond fully to the initial treatment. This study aims to find better ways to treat lung cancer and improve the survival rates of these patients.

Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if the investigational study drug, called cusatuzumab, is safe and effective when given together with other standard of care drugs used to treat Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). AML is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. Cusatuzumab is a new type of drug for AML. Cusatuzumab is designed to target a protein found on the surface of AML tumor cells, called human cluster of differentiation CD70. CD70 is not widely found in healthy cells. By targeting and killing cells expressing CD70, cusatuzumab has been shown in the laboratory and in animal studies to reduce tumor growth. In this study, cusatuzumab is being tested together with two other drugs that are commonly used to treat AML as a standard of care. These standard of care drugs are called venetoclax and azacitidine. In this consent form, cusatuzumab, venetoclax, and azacitidine will be referred to as "study drugs".

A Phase 3, Randomized, Open-label, Active-Comparator-Controlled Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Bomedemstat (MK‑3543/IMG-7289) versus Best Available Therapy (BAT) in Participants With Essential Thrombocythemia who have an Inadequate Response to or are Intolerant of Hydroxyurea.

Summary

This phase 3 study is recruiting patients who have Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) who have an inadequate response to or are intolerant of hydroxyurea. This study will measure the safety and effectiveness of an inhibitor treatment called bomedemstat. Bomedemstat is an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved) treatment. The main purpose of the study is to how bomedemstat compares to BAT (best available therapy) as an effective treatment for ET. The study will enroll approximately 300 patients who will be randomly assigned 1:1 (like flipping a coin) to either bomedemstat or BAT. The study includes a screening phase, initial treatment phase, extended treatment phase, and posttreatment phase. The initial treatment portion of the study begins on study Day 1 and continues until the participant completes treatment at Week 52. The primary endpoint analysis will be performed on data from the first 52 weeks of treatment. Patients who have not discontinued study treatment at Week 52 will be eligible to continue receiving study treatment in the Extended Treatment Phase for up to Week 156. Patients in the BAT arm who have received a minimum of 52 weeks of treatment and discontinued study treatment due to intolerance/resistance/refractoriness/inadequate response (defined by the investigator as per the local product labels of BAT regimens) may be eligible to switch to the bomedemstat arm during the Extended Treatment Phase at the investigator's discretion (as per protocol defined eligibility to receive bomedemstat). Patients will continue treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, study closure, death, or withdrawal of consent. The main risk is that medical treatments often cause side effects. Patients may have none, some, or all of the side effects listed or not listed in the protocol, and they may be mild, moderate, or severe. There is no direct benefit for them in participating in this study.

Summary

This phase 3 study is recruiting patients who have myelofibrosis who have never had a JAK inhibitor. This study will measure the safety and effectiveness of a tumor protein inhibitor treatment called navtemadlin combined with another tumor protein inhibitor called ruxolitinib. Navtemadlin is an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved) treatment, Ruxolitinib is FDA approved. The main purpose of the study is to see if navtemadlin combined with ruxolitinib is an effective treatment for myelofibrosis. The study will enroll approximately 180 patients with each patient initially receiving ruxolitinib. The study includes a screening period, run-in period, and a randomized (like flipping a coin) add-on period. The first two periods will be over the course of 18-24 weeks while the randomized add-on period is for those whose treatment with ruxolitinib is not effective enough and will last for a different amount of time for each patient. In the run-in period after screening, patients will take ruxolitinib at the dose determined by their study doctor for 18-24 weeks. If treatment with ruxolitinib alone is not effective, the participate will be randomized into one of two groups. In the randomized add-on period, participants will either receive ruxolitinib with navtemadlin 240 mg or a matching placebo (a pill that contains no medicine) daily for one week out of the 28-day cycle in combination with ruxolitinib at a dose determined by their study doctor. Patients in this group will continue treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, study closure, death, or withdrawal of consent. The main risk is that medical treatments often cause side effects. Patients may have none, some, or all of the side effects listed or not listed in the protocol, and they may be mild, moderate, or severe. There is no direct benefit for them in participating in this study.
