The purpose of the study is to evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) of casdatifan versus placebo when each is given in combination with cabozantinib in adult patients with confirmed advanced or metastatic clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma who have experienced progression on or after prior anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy.

Substudy 03C is part of a larger research study that is testing experimental treatments for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The larger study is the umbrella study (U03).

The goal of substudy 03C is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of experimental combinations of investigational agents in participants with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) who have recurrent disease during or after anti-programmed cell death 1/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-\[L\]1) adjuvant therapy.

This substudy will have two phases: a safety lead-in phase and an efficacy phase. The safety lead-in phase will be used to demonstrate a tolerable safety profile for the combination of investigational agents. There will be no hypothesis testing in this study

High-grade gliomas (HGGs) are among the most aggressive and treatment-resistant brain tumors. Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors like nivolumab has shown promise, but its efficacy remains variable and poorly understood in this patient population. This clinical trial investigates a novel imaging-enabled formulation of nivolumab-IRDye800 (nivo800) which incorporates a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dye to enable real-time visualization of drug distribution within tumor tissue.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a standardized lymphedema and fibrosis self-management program (LEF-SMP) to improve LEF self-management and reduce LEF-associated symptom burden, functional deficits, and improve quality of life in head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors.

This study is a Phase 1/2, multicenter, dose-escalation, open-label trial to assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of nuvisertib (TP-3654) in patients with intermediate or high-risk primary or secondary MF.

This phase III trial compares the effect of cabozantinib versus combination dabrafenib and trametinib for the treatment of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer that does not respond to treatment (refractory) and which expresses a BRAF V600E mutation. Cabozantinib is in a class of medications called receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It binds to and blocks the action of several enzymes which are often over-expressed in a variety of tumor cell types. This may help stop or slow the growth of tumor cells and blood vessels the tumor needs to survive. Dabrafenib is an enzyme inhibitor that binds to and inhibits the activity of a protein called B-raf, which may inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells which contain a mutated BRAF gene. Trametinib is also an enzyme inhibitor. It binds to and inhibits the activity of proteins called MEK 1 and 2, which play a key role in activating pathways that regulate cell growth. This may inhibit the growth of tumor cells mediated by these pathways. The usual approach for patients with thyroid cancer is targeted therapy with dabrafenib and trametinib. This trial may help researchers decide which treatment option (cabozantinib alone or dabrafenib in combination with trametinib) is safer and/or more effective in treating patients with refractory BRAF V600E-mutated differentiated thyroid cancer.

RBS2418 (investigational product) is a specific immune modulator, working through ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase I (ENPP1), designed to lead to anti-tumor immunity by increasing endogenous 2'-3'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate (cGAMP) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP levels) and reducing adenosine production in the tumors. RBS2418 has the potential to be an important therapeutic option for subjects both as monotherapy and in combination with other cancer treatments including monotherapy and in combination with other cancer treatments including immunotherapy or chemotherapy. This study is an open-label, multi-site Phase 1a/1b study of RBS2418, a selective ENPP1 inhibitor, in combination with pembrolizumab or other approved anticancer therapies or as a monotherapy in subjects with advanced unresectable, recurrent or metastatic tumors. The phase 1a (dose escalation phase) has been completed. The Phase 1b expansion phase of the study has been increased in size and scope.

This clinical trial will study ruxolitinib-based treatment of acute graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) that developed following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant. Acute GVHD occurs when donor cells attack the healthy tissue of the body. The most common symptoms are skin rash, jaundice, nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea. The standard treatment for GVHD is high dose steroids such as prednisone or methylprednisolone, which suppresses the donor cells, but sometimes there can be either no response or the response does not last. In these cases, the GVHD can become dangerous or even life threatening. High dose steroid treatment can also cause serious complications. Researchers have developed a system, called the Minnesota risk system, to help predict how well the GVHD will respond to steroids based on the symptoms present at the time of diagnosis. The Minnesota risk system classifies patients with newly diagnosed acute GVHD into two groups with highly different responses to standard steroid treatment and long-term outcomes. This protocol maximizes efficiency because all patients with grade II-IV GVHD are eligible for screening and treatment is assigned according to patient risk. Patients with lower risk GVHD, Minnesota standard risk, have high response rates to steroid treatment. In this trial the researchers will test whether ruxolitinib alone is as effective (non-inferior) as steroid-free therapy and safe. Patients will be randomized to two different doses of ruxolitinib to identify the dose which maximizes efficacy while minimizing toxicities such as hematologic and infectious toxicities. Patients with higher risk GVHD, Minnesota high risk, have unacceptable outcomes with systemic corticosteroid treatment alone and the researchers will test whether adding ruxolitinib, a proven effective second line GVHD treatment, can improve outcomes when added to systemic corticosteroids as first line treatment.

A first in human study to evaluate the safety and preliminary antitumor activity of BBO-11818, a pan-KRAS inhibitor, in subjects with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic KRAS mutant solid tumors.

Immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis is the most common form of systemic amyloidosis. AL amyloidosis has many root causes and is characterized by the overproduction of AL that are secreted by clonal bone marrow plasma cells. This is a study to determine adverse events and change in disease activity in adult participants with AL amyloidosis treated with ABBV-383.

Etentamig (ABBV-383) is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of AL amyloidosis. This study in broken into 2 parts (dose escalation and dose expansion) with 4 arms. During dose escalation (arms 1-3) participants will receive 1 of 3 doses of ABBV-383 to determine the part 2 dose. After completion of the dose escalation portion of the study, the dose expansion (part 2) portion of the study will begin. One arm (arm 4) will begin and participants will receive a dose determined during the dose escalation portion (part 1). Around 76 adult participants with relapsed/refractory AL amyloidosis will be enrolled at approximately 25 sites across the world.

Participants will receive Etentamig (ABBV-383) as an infusion into the vein for up to approximately 2 year study duration.

There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and questionnaires.
