Summary

This collaborative study was developed by the Lung Cancer Mutation Consortium (LCMC) and supported by the Thoracic Surgery Oncology Group (TSOG). The purpose of this study is to determine if it is possible to identify genetic changes in the tumors or blood of patients with early-stage lung cancers using both blood-based and tumor-based testing when cancer is suspected or first diagnosed. In this trial, participants will be asked to provide blood samples at three different time points. They will also be asked for permission for tumor tissue to be sent to the researchers. Tumor tissue will be collected if there is a leftover sample from a participant's surgery. These samples will be sent to the researchers to be analyzed for genetic changes. The researchers hope that in the future, genetic changes can help doctors determine what the best treatment is for patients with early-stage lung cancer.

Summary

This study is enrolling subjects with advanced solid tumors with the TP53 Y220C alteration in cancer cells. This alteration is a mutation of the tumor that can be found through laboratory tests that use a sample of tissue, blood, or other fluids to check for signs of cancer. This study involves research testing the safety, best dose, side effects and timing of the study drug called PC1486. You will take the study drug, PC14586, in the form of a tablet. If assigned to the combination treatment arm (Part 1), you will also be given pembrolizumab as an intravenous (IV) infusion. Pembrolizumab is a type of immunotherapy that is FDA approved to treat your kind of cancer. The study drug PC1486 is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This study drug targets the TP53 Y220C genetic alteration in tumor cells. During the pre-screening portion, participants will provide either archived tissue or a fresh tumor sample to test for the genetic alteration. If the participants show the genetic tumor alteration in the cancer cells, they may be asked to participate in the trial. Treatment arms are groups or subgroups of participants in a clinical trial. This study will have two arms: one studies PC1486 alone and the second arm studies PC1486 in combination with Pembrolizumab against advanced solid tumors. PC14586 is a small molecule (chemical) that is designed to act on the genetic alteration TP53 Y220C in cancer cells to slow the growth of cancer, and it is taken orally. This study involves blood tests, a possible tumor biopsy, CT, and MRI scans. The study will last approximately 6 months of treatment, followed up by a check-up after the first 3 weeks and every 3 months after. Some common risks (observed in greater than 20% of people) include: Nausea, Vomiting, Abnormal liver tests, Abnormal kidney test (possible kidney damage

Summary

This project is being conducted in subjects that have been diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), MDS/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) including chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are candidates to receive treatment with single agent azacitidine based on local country approvals and/or local The study is designed to move efficiently from Phase 1 to Phase 3. This study is testing investigational drug called ASTX030. Investigational means that it is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but it is undergoing testing to find out if it is safe and effective. ASTX030 is a combination of two medicines, azacitidine and cedazuridine, given by mouth. The primary purpose is to test the levels of the investigational drug ASTX030 in your blood, including if food has an effect (Phase 1B only), the safety and tolerability of the drugs, and how subjects respond to the drug. The subject may remain in the study about 3 years. If you benefit from treatment, you may receive study drugs as long as you continue to benefit. If you develop side effects to the study drugs that prevent you from continuing treatment, or if your study doctor believes it is in your best interest to stop the study drug(s), you may be asked to stop the study treatment. After you stop treatment, the Sponsor will continue to collect health information to evaluate long-term effects of the study drugs.

Summary

This is a Phase 2 study measuring the effectiveness and safety of an antibody treatment called AK117 combined with a drug called azacitidine in patients with newly diagnosed higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (HR-MDS). AK117 is an "investigational" (not yet FDA approved) treatment, azacitidine is FDA approved. The primary purpose of the study is to find the best dose of AK117 for future trials. The study will enroll approximately 90 patients randomized in 3 groups (like flipping a coin), with each group receiving either AK117 in doses of 30mg/kg, 20mg/kg, or a placebo, in combination with azacitidine. The study includes a screening period, treatment period, and follow-up period over the course of 3 years. Patients will receive AK117 or a placebo every 2 weeks in combination with azacitidine every 4 weeks. The main risk is that medical treatments often cause side effects. Patients may have none, some, or all of the effects listed or not listed in the protocol, and they may be mild, moderate, or severe. There is no direct benefit in participating in this study.

Summary

Imagine you're flipping through a medical journal and stumble upon a study about lung cancer treatment. This study is not just any ordinary research; it's focused on a group often overlooked in clinical trials: older adults. The researchers are curious about how well a new treatment, called immunotherapy, works for these older folks who might have other health issues besides cancer. They've noticed that most studies tend to include younger, healthier people, so they want to see if the same treatments work as well for Grandma and Grandpa. They found that immunotherapy, which boosts the body's immune system to fight cancer, can be a game-changer for older adults with lung cancer. But here's the twist: they're not sure if it's always the best option, especially for those with a certain type of lung cancer marker. So, they're calling for more studies to figure out the best treatment plan for older adults with different levels of this marker. It's like a puzzle they're trying to solve to make sure Grandma and Grandpa get the best care possible.
