A phase II trial of MOnaliZumab in combination with durvAlumab (MEDI4736) for tReatmenT of small cell lung cancer (MOZART)

Cancer Internal Medicine Lung Cancer Skin and Dermatologic Adult Subjects Female Subjects Male Subjects

This study has 2 cohorts: MOZART-ES cohort (for extensive-stage SCLC) and MOZART-LS cohort (for limited-stage SCLC).

MOZART-ES cohort: Study treatment will consist of a platinum drug (carboplatin or cisplatin per investigator's choice) plus etoposide plus durvalumab plus monalizumab every 3 weeks for 4 cycles. After 4 cycles, subjects will continue maintenance treatment with durvalumab plus monalizumab every 4 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, decision to stop study treatment, or withdrawal of consent. Patients who have received one prior cycle of treatment before enrolling on the study will receive a total of 4 cycles with monalizumab, durvalumab, and chemotherapy. There will be a safety lead-in phase, including 6 to 12 patients, to confirm the safety of the proposed dose of monalizumab to use in combination with chemotherapy and durvalumab.

MOZART-LS cohort: Study treatment will consist of durvalumab and monalizumab following standard of care chemo-radiation consisting of a platinum drug (carboplatin or cisplatin per investigator's choice) plus etoposide for 3-4 cycles and standard dose radiation. Radiation therapy should have started before completion of cycle 2 of chemotherapy. NOTE: Subjects who have non-progressive disease and meet the eligibility criteria can start study treatment up to 56 days from completion of chemo-radiation. Durvalumab and monalizumab will be administered every 4 weeks for up to 2 years (26 cycles), disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, decision to stop study treatment, or withdrawal consent, whichever occurs first.

HCCC + Mission: A Phase 3, Randomized Study to Compare Nemtabrutinib Versus Comparator (Investigator’s Choice of Ibrutinib or Acalabrutinib) in Participants With Untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (BELLWAVE-011)

Cancer Internal Medicine Leukemia Lymphoma Adult Subjects Female Subjects Male Subjects

The goal of this study is to evaluate nemtabrutinib compared with investigator's choice of ibrutinib or acalabrutinib in participants with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who have not received any prior therapy. The primary hypotheses are that (1) nemtabrutinib is non-inferior to ibrutinib or acalabrutinib with respect to objective response rate (ORR) per International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (iwCLL) Criteria 2018 by blinded independent central review (BICR) and (2) nemtabrutinib is superior to ibrutinib or acalabrutinib with respect to progression free survival (PFS) per iwCLL Criteria 2018 by BICR.

A Single Arm Phase II Study with Safety Run-in of Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) in Combination with Immunotherapy for Patients with Merkel Cell Cancer (HCRN MCC20-443; iPRRT Study)

Cancer Internal Medicine Neuroendocrine Tumors Skin Cancer Adult Subjects Female Subjects Male Subjects

The purpose of this study is to find out what effects an immunotherapy drug, called pembrolizumab, combined with a radioactive drug, called lutetium Lu 177 dotatate (Lutathera®) have on patients with Merkel cell carcinoma. Pembrolizumab works by helping patient's immune system to fight cancer. Lutathera works by killing cancer cells. Pembrolizumab is approved by the FDA to treat Merkel cell cancer and has caused some Merkel cell cancers to shrink and/or resolve. Lutathera is FDA-approved to treat some neuroendocrine tumors and has caused some patient's neuroendocrine tumors to shrink and allowed them to live longer, but it is not approved by the FDA to treat Merkel cell cancer. The combination of Lutathera and pembrolizumab to treat Merkel cell cancer is investigational, which means this combination is not approved by the FDA to treat Merkel cell cancer.

A022102: Randomized Phase III Trial of mFOLFIRINOX +/- Nivolumab vs. FOLFOX +/- Nivolumab for First-Line Treatment of Metastatic HER2-Negative Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma

Cancer Internal Medicine Stomach Cancer Adult Subjects

This phase III trial compares the effect of modified fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan (mFOLFIRINOX) with or without nivolumab to the effect of modified fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX) with or without nivolumab for the treatment of patients with advanced, unresectable, or metastatic HER2 negative esophageal, gastroesophageal junction, or gastric adenocarcinoma. The usual approach for patients who are not in a study is treatment with FOLFOX with some receiving an immunotherapy drug, either nivolumab or pembrolizumab, in addition to FOLFOX chemotherapy. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for cancer in the stomach, esophagus, or gastroesophageal junction. Fluorouracil is in a class of medications called antimetabolites. It stops cells from making DNA and may kill tumor cells. Leucovorin in a class of medications called folic acid analogs. When used with fluorouracil it enhances the effects of this chemotherapy drug. Irinotecan is in a class of antineoplastic medications called topoisomerase I inhibitors. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair, and may kill cancer cells. Oxaliplatin is in a class of medications called platinum-containing antineoplastic agents. It damages the cell's DNA and may kill cancer cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Some patients on this trial will receive nivolumab, in addition to mFOLFOX or mFOLFIRINOX chemotherapy. mFOLFIRINOX with or without nivolumab may be more effective than mFOLFOX with or without nivolumab by shrinking the tumor in patients with advanced, unresectable, or metastatic HER2-negative esophageal, gastroesophageal junction, or gastric adenocarcinoma.

A012103: OptimICE-PCR: De-Escalation of Therapy in Early-Stage TNBC Patients Who Achieve pCR After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy with Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy

Cancer Internal Medicine Breast Cancer Adult Subjects

This phase III trial compares the effect of continuation of treatment with pembrolizumab (usual approach) to observation only at preventing cancer from coming back in patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who achieved a pathologic complete response after preoperative chemotherapy in combination with pembrolizumab. The usual approach for patients with early-stage TNBC who receive preoperative chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab is to continue to receive pembrolizumab for up to 27 weeks after surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This trial may help researchers determine if observation is as good as receiving pembrolizumab for 27 weeks after surgery in triple-negative breast cancer patients who achieved a pathologic complete response after preoperative treatment with chemotherapy and pembrolizumab.

Internal Medicine Liver Disease Adult Subjects

The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the study drug, seladelpar, and its effects on clinical outcomes in participants with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and compensated cirrhosis.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of seladelpar compared to placebo on EFS. EFS is defined as the time from start of treatment to the first occurrence of any of the following adjudicated events up to Week 156.
