Summary

Researchers are investigating a new way to treat a type of lung cancer called small-cell lung cancer, which is very aggressive and often doesn't respond well to treatment. They're studying a drug called Tarlatamab, which targets a specific protein found on the cancer cells. This drug has already shown some promise when used alone, but now they're testing whether it works even better when combined with another type of cancer treatment called anti-PD-L1 therapy. This combination treatment might help the body's immune system fight the cancer more effectively. The hope is that by using these two treatments together, they can improve outcomes for people with small-cell lung cancer and give them a better chance of survival.

Summary

The study is for patients that have been diagnosed with bladder cancer. Cretostimogene Grenadenorepvec is the study drug that is being utilized. The primary purpose is to evaluate the recurrence free survival (RFS) of transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) followed by cretostimogene versus TURBT followed by observation in participants with intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (IR-NMIBC). The subject may remain in the study for up to 24 months. They may receive additional treatment beyond 24 months if they are tolerating and showing benefit from the treatment.

Summary

This study is for subjects that have been diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma that has spread and has not responded to treatment. This study is testing an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved) study drug called glofitamab. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good or bad, of glofitamab (experimental arm) versus bendamustine plus rituximab (BR) or rituximab plus lenalidomide (R-Len;the control arm) on subjects with relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma. Your total time in the study and the number of assessments in the follow up visits, will depend on how your MCL responds to study treatment. This could range from 1 day to more than 24 months. The screening period may last up to 28 days (4 weeks) and may involve more than one visit to the clinic.

Summary

This study is to understand HIV-infected cocaine users have poor immunity after anti-HIV treatment, but HIV-infected cannabis users are likely different. Cocaine use always is associated high inflammation and cannabis use is associated with low inflammation. We study how inflammation cannot be controlled in cocaine users; our goal is to develop new therapies to help cocaine users to have a better health and immunity.

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.

A Randomized Phase III Trial of Doxorubicin +Pembrolizumab Versus Doxorubicin Alone for the Treatment of Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma (UPS) and Related Poorly Differentiated Sarcomas

Summary

This study if for patients with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) or a related poorly differentiated sarcoma that has spread from where it first started to other places in the body or it cannot be removed by surgery. This study compares the effect of pembrolizumab plus doxorubicin to doxorubicin alone in treating patients. Doxorubicin damages the cell's DNA and may kill tumor cells. Doxorubicin also blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attach the cancer and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Adding pembrolizumab to the standard chemotherapy, doxorubicin, may help patients with UPS or a related poorly differentiated sarcoma live longer without having disease progression. The duration of the study will be about 12 years, with 6 months of active treatment for those receiving doxorubicin alone and 2 years active treatment for those receiving doxorubicin and pembrolizumab. Each participant will be in follow up for 10 years. Some of the main side effects are nausea, vomiting, low blood count, fatigue and mild diarrhea.

Summary

This phase III study evaluates whether a new drug, dostarlimab, can delay or reduce the risk of cancer returning when administered for a year, shortly after receiving a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy (CRT). This study will enroll adults diagnosed with head and neck cancer who are treated with CRT. This study is divided into three parts: the screening period begins shortly after CRT and lasting 4-6 weeks where tests will be conducted to determine eligibility, followed by a 12-month treatment period where participants will receive either dostarlimab or an inactive substance (salt solution) with no effect on your body (placebo), and a follow up period when they will continue to be assessed to see if their cancer has returned or gotten worse. Participants may be on the study for approximately up to 5 years in total. The main risks are anaemia, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Alternatives to this treatment is standard of care CRT because for this type of head and neck cancer, at the present time, there are no other approved therapies administered shortly after CRT that may prevent or delay the return of the cancer. The study benefit is dostarlimab may help slow or stop the growth of your cancer.

Summary

The is a Phase 3 study for children, ages 0-17 years old, with severe von Willebrand disease (VWD). In this study, the study drug will be used prophylactically for the treatment of bleeding events. Prophylactic treatment means the study drug will be used to prevent or stop a bleed before it happens.
This study is going to look at how safe the study drug is and how well the study drug (recombinant von Willebrand factor (rVWF, vonicog alfa)), works to prevent and control bleeding.

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine what kind of chemotherapy to recommend to patients based on the presence or absence of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) after surgery for colon cancer? ctDNA, or circulating tumor DNA, is DNA that has been released from tumor cells into your bloodstream. This DNA can be measured using a blood test.

This study seeks to find if this approach is better or worse than standard of care for colon cancer.

Treatment and follow up for this study may be up to 8 years. The procedures include blood samples, tissue samples, and chemotherapy. Risks include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, hair loss, mouth sores, loss of appetite, tingling or pain in hands/feet/arms/legs, and anemia. You may or may not receive a direct benefit from participating in this trial, however, information learned from the trial may help other people in the future.
