Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with high-risk muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma (MIUC). Urothelial carcinoma is a type of bladder cancer that begins in cells that line the inside of the bladder and other parts of the urinary tract, such as part of the kidneys, ureters, and urethra. People with MIUC usually have chemotherapy before surgery, then surgery to remove the cancer. Chemotherapy is a type of medicine to destroy cancer cells or stop them from growing. After surgery, some people receive more treatment to prevent cancer from returning. Pembrolizumab is an immunotherapy, which is a treatment that helps the immune system fight cancer. Enfortumab vedotin (EV) is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC). An ADC attaches to a protein on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells. Researchers want to learn if giving V940 (the study treatment) with pembrolizumab can prevent MIUC from returning after surgery. V940 (also called mRNA-4157) is designed to treat each person's cancer by helping the person's immune system identify and kill cancer cells based on certain proteins found on those cancer cells.

The goals of this study are to learn if people who receive V940 and pembrolizumab are alive and cancer free longer than those who receive placebo and pembrolizumab, and to learn about the safety of V940, pembrolizumab, and EV, and if people tolerate them.

A global phase 3, multicenter, randomized, trial, to Determine the Efficacy and Safety of Durvalumab in combination with Tremelimumab and Enfortumab Vedotin or Durvalumab in combination with Enfortumab Vedotin for Perioperative Treatment in Patients Ineligible for Cisplatin or who refuse Cisplantin Undergoing Radical Cystectomy for Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer.

The goal of the study is to explore the triplet combination of Durvalumab, Tremelimumab and Enfortumab Vedotin or the duplet combination of Durvalumab and Enfortumab vedotin in terms of efficacy and safety compared to the current Standard Of Care (SOC).

Volga trial consists of two parts: Safety Run-In and Main Study. In total the study aims to enroll approximately 677 patients, who will receive triplet combination, duplet combination or currently approved SOC in the main trial. In the main part of the trial there is two out of three chances of being on a treatment arm and the treatment is assigned at random by a computer system.

In this trial patients in the two treatment arms will receive either 3 cycles of neoadjuvant Durvalumab + Tremelimumab + Enfortumab Vedotin or Durvalumab + Enfortumab vedotin and after surgery both treatment arms will continue with adjuvant Durvalumab.

Phase I/II study of Seleno-L Methionine (SLM) in Sequential Combination with Fixed Doses and Schedules of Axitinib and Pembrolizumab (SAP) in Locally Advanced and Metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC)

Cancer Internal Medicine Kidney Cancer Adult Subjects Female Subjects Male Subjects

The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and effectiveness of Seleno-L Methionine (SLM) when combined with the standard dose and schedule of Axitinib and Pembrolizumab in patients who have locally advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

EA8192: Phase II/III Trial of MEDI4736 (Durvalumab) and Chemotherapy for Patients with High Grade Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer Prior to Nephroureterectomy

Cancer Internal Medicine Kidney Cancer Bladder Cancer Adult Subjects

This phase II/III trial compares the effect of adding durvalumab to chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone before surgery in treating patients with upper urinary tract cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, cisplatin, and gemcitabine work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Durvalumab in combination with chemotherapy before surgery may enhance the shrinking of the tumor compared to chemotherapy alone.

A Phase 3, Randomized, Open-label Study to Evaluate Perioperative Enfortumab Vedotin Plus Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) Versus Neoadjuvant Gemcitabine and Cisplatin in Cisplatin-eligible Participants with Muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer (KEYNOTE-B15 / EV-304)

Cancer Internal Medicine Bladder Cancer Adult Subjects Female Subjects Male Subjects

The purpose of this study is to assess the antitumor efficacy and safety of perioperative enfortumab vedotin (EV) plus pembrolizumab and radical cystectomy (RC) + pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) compared with the current standard of care (neoadjuvant chemotherapy \[gemcitabine plus cisplatin\] and RC + PLND) for participants with MIBC who are cisplatin-eligible. The primary hypothesis is perioperative EV and pembrolizumab and RC + PLND (Arm A) will achieve superior event free survival (EFS) compared with neoadjuvant gemcitabine + cisplatin and RC + PLND (Arm B).

ECOG-ACRIN EA8153: Cabazitaxel with Abiraterone versus Abiraterone alone Randomized Trial for Extensive Disease following Docetaxel: the CHAARTED2 Trial

Cancer Internal Medicine Prostate Cancer Adult Subjects

This randomized phase II trial studies how well abiraterone acetate and antiandrogen therapy, with or without cabazitaxel and prednisone, work in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer previously treated with docetaxel that has spread to other parts of the body. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy using abiraterone acetate and antiandrogen therapy may fight prostate cancer by lowering and/or blocking the use of androgens by the tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cabazitaxel and prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving abiraterone acetate and antiandrogen therapy with or without cabazitaxel and prednisone may help kill more tumor cells.

A therapeutic trial for safety and preliminary efficacy of the combination of axitinib and seleniomethionine (SLM) for adult patients with advanced metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC)

Cancer Internal Medicine Kidney Cancer Adult Subjects Female Subjects Male Subjects

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of L-selenomethionine when given together with axitinib in treating patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma that has spread from the primary site (place where it started) to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced metastatic). L-selenomethionine may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Axitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving L-selenomethionine together with axitinib may be a better treatment for advanced metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

A Phase III, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) as Monotherapy in the Adjuvant Treatment of Renal Cell Carcinoma Post Nephrectomy (KEYNOTE-564)
