This is a multicenter Phase 1b, open label, dose-escalation and cohort-expansion study, evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), preliminary antitumor activity, and effect of biomarkers of zanzalintinib administered alone, and in combination with nivolumab (doublet), nivolumab + ipilimumab (triplet) and nivolumab + relatlimab (triplet) in participants with advanced solid tumors.

In the Expansion Stage, the safety and efficacy of zanzalintinib as monotherapy and in combination therapy will be further evaluated in tumor-specific Expansion Cohorts.

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Researchers have designed a study medicine called ifinatamab deruxtecan (also called I-DXd or MK-2400) to treat mCRPC. The goal of this study is to learn if people who receive I-DXd live longer overall and live longer without the cancer growing or spreading than people who receive chemotherapy.

The purpose of this study compares the effect of adding carboplatin to the standard of care chemotherapy drug cabazitaxel versus cabazitaxel alone in treating prostate cancer that keeps growing even when the amount of testosterone in the body is reduced to very low levels (castrate-resistant) and that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cabazitaxel, 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. Prednisone is often given together with chemotherapy drugs. Prednisone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs and to help the chemotherapy work. Giving carboplatin with the standard of care chemotherapy drug cabazitaxel may be better at treating metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of immunotherapy with atezolizumab in combination with standard chemotherapy with a platinum drug (cisplatin or carboplatin) and etoposide versus standard therapy alone for the treatment of poorly differentiated extrapulmonary (originated outside the lung) neuroendocrine cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic).  

This is a global, multicenter, randomized, open-label, Phase 2/3 study of Dato-DXd plus carboplatin or cisplatin versus gemcitabine plus carboplatin or cisplatin in participants with la/mUC who progressed during or after EV plus pembrolizumab combination treatment.

This trial will start with part A, Phase 2. During part A, Phase 2, preliminary efficacy and safety will be assessed, and the recommended Phase 3 dose (RP3D) will be identified when the data allow sufficient assessment of activity, safety, and tolerability. The Phase 3 part will start contingent upon the assessment in the Phase 2 part, taking into consideration the totality of information.

The purpose of this study is to build a comprehensive genomic repository that details the evolution of bladder cancer. By employing WGS-based ctDNA approach testing using Veracyte, the study seeks to better understand tumor behavior, mechanisms of treatment resistance, and predictive biomarkers of response. This repository will aid in elucidating the relationship between tumor genomics and clinical outcomes, providing insights that can inform the development of personalized therapeutic strategies. This is a prospective, exploratory biomarker study that will enroll subjects who have undergone prior biopsy, with available formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue specimens. The study incorporates baseline and follow-up ctDNA assessments to monitor molecular residual disease (MRD) through a tumor-informed WGS-based ctDNA approach developed by Veracyte.
