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.

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

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.

A Phase 3 Open-Label, Randomized, Controlled, Global Study of Telisotuzumab Vedotin (ABBV-399) Versus Docetaxel in Subjects with Previously Treated c-Met Overexpressing, EGFR Wildtype, Locally Advanced/Metastatic Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (M18-868)

Summary

This research is all about investigating a potential treatment for a specific type of advanced lung cancer. The cancer cells have a protein called c-Met that's acting a bit too excited, driving the cancer to spread and resist treatment. This study focuses on two treatments: one is called Telisotuzumab Vedotin (ABBV-399), which is a smart combination of an antibody and a drug that can stop this protein's activity. The other treatment is called Docetaxel. The researchers have already found in smaller studies that Telisotuzumab Vedotin could be promising for this type of cancer, especially in patients whose previous treatments didn't work well. Now they want to see if it can really make a difference in the long run. They'll be comparing Telisotuzumab Vedotin and Docetaxel to figure out which one is better at helping patients live longer without their cancer getting worse. In this study, participants will be randomly divided into two groups, like flipping a coin. One group will get a new medicine called telisotuzumab vedotin through a vein in their arm every two weeks. The other group will receive a treatment called docetaxel through a vein every three weeks. People in both groups will keep getting their assigned treatment until their doctors say it's time to stop based on certain criteria. Throughout the study, participants will have scans like X-rays or MRIs to see how their tumors are doing. These scans will happen at the beginning and then every few weeks for the first year, and less often as time goes on.Even if someone stops their treatment for a reason other than their cancer getting worse on these scans, the researchers will keep track of them until their cancer gets worse or until they decide they don't want to be in the study anymore.The whole study is expected to last around 38 months, which is a little over 3 years. They'll keep following up with the participants, either by talking to them, checking their medical records, or other appropriate methods, until the participants decide to leave the study or pass away. This study is a big step towards finding better options for people battling this tough form of lung cancer.

A Randomized, Double-blind, Multi-center, Phase III Study of AK112 or Placebo Combined with Pemetrexed and Carboplatin in Patients with EGFRmutant Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-squamous NSCLC Who Have Failed to EGFR-TKI Treatment

Summary

The study is for patients who have been diagnosed with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The investigational drug in this study is ivonescimab (AK112). The study drug is an antibody, it blocks two proteins in the body that help cancer cells live, grow and spread. The study drug will be given in addition to pemetrexed and carboplatin. There are two groups that a participant may be assigned to, which group a subject is assigned on will be determined by type of cancer treatments that they have previously received. Treatment Group A will receive the study drug along with pemetrexed and carboplatin. Treatment Group B will receive placebo along with pemetrexed and carboplatin. The drugs will be given via an infusion. There is a 50% chance of being assigned to either group. Participation in the study will last about 36 months. The study consist of a screening visit, treatment visits, and a safety follow up visit.

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

This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The purpose of this study is to compare the usual treatment alone to using SBRT plus the usual treatment. This study will help the study doctors find out if this different approach is better than the usual approach. To decide if it is better, the study doctors will be looking to see if the addition of SBRT increases the life of patients by 6 months or more compared to the usual approach. The study drugs are nivolumab and ipilimumab. Participants can expect to be on this study for up to 2 years.
