Summary

This study investigates a new treatment, V940, combined with pembrolizumab for people who've had surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The goal is to check if this combination is safe, prevents cancer from returning, improves survival, and enhances quality of life compared to a placebo plus pembrolizumab. Participants will receive pembrolizumab, a drug that boosts the immune system to fight cancer. V940, a personalized treatment, uses genetic information from a patient's tumor to create a custom mRNA injection. It's experimental and not FDA-approved, but it offers a novel approach to empower the immune system against cancer, potentially bringing advancements in post-surgery NSCLC care.

Summary

The study is for patients who have been diagnosed with an advanced/metastatic (meaning cancer has spread from where it started) solid tumor (cancer) with no standard treatment available. The investigational drug in this study is DB-1311. DB-1311 infusion is an antibody-drug combination composed of an anti-B7-H3 (a protein associated with worse overall survival and drug resistance) antibody and P1021 (novel topoisomerase I inhibitor). The antibody portion of the drug blocks a protein in the body that help cancer cells live, grow and spread. The purpose of this trial is to find a safe and tolerable dose of the study drug. Participation in this study will last about 24 months. The study consists of a screening visit, treatment visits, and a safety follow up visit.

An Open-label, Multicenter Study of ZL-1310 to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics in Subjects with Small Cell Lung Cancer

List of Studies

Keywords

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 study will evaluate possible new treatments for advanced stage head and neck cancer. Patients who have undergone surgery to remove their tumor may qualify if the tissue is positive for a specific type of squamous cell cancer. The purpose of this study is to compare the current standard treatment, radiation therapy along with chemotherapy with a drug called cisplatin, to two other treatments. One experimental treatment is radiation therapy along with two chemotherapy agents, docetaxel and cetuximab, and the other experimental treatment is the standard treatment currently used along with the addition of an immunotherapy drug atezolizumab. Patients who qualify for participation will be randomly assigned to one of the 3 treatment groups (done with a computerized system). In the current standard treatment group, participants will receive radiation therapy 5 days per week for 6 weeks, and cisplatin once a week through a vein for the 6-week treatment period. The group receiving doxetaxel and cetuximab (both FDA approved medications for the treatment of certain cancers) will receive the same 6 weeks of radiation along with cetuximab through a vein 1 week prior to the start of radiation therapy, and then once a week for the 6 weeks of radiation and the doxetaxel will also be given through a vein once a week for the 6 weeks of radiation therapy. The final group will get the current standard treatment with 6 weeks of radiation and 6 weeks of cisplatin, along with atezolizumab through a vein 1 week prior to your starting radiation and then every 3 weeks for a total of 8 doses, There will be twice as many patients in this last group than the other two groups.

Follow-up will be at Month 1 & 3 and then every 3 months for 2 years, and then every 6 months for 3 more years, and then annually for as long as a participant is willing and able. There will be blood tests and CT scans that will occur throughout the study, however they are standard for the type of cancer being treated and how each individual responds to the treatment. The benefit of participation is there may be improved outcomes in this group of patients however the risks involved with receiving new treatments may be more than with the usual standard treatment. Some of the most common side effects that the study doctors know about are infection, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, pain, tiredness, kidney problems, numbness/tingling in hands and feet. There may be some risks that the study doctors are not aware of at the moment. There will be a total of up to 480 participants across all sites and approximately 24 participants at MUSC.
