KaCrole Higgins was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. “In May 2020, I found a lump in my breast. I cried. By June, it was diagnosed as breast cancer, triple positive, stage 1A. While getting this cancer diagnosis was devastating, it also became an opportunity. Suddenly, the cancer gave me clarity. It gave me clarity about what was important, what was good in my life, what was toxic in my life, and what I needed to do.” Click below to read more of KaCrole’s story

If Landon Ryan had been diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma 10, 20 or 30 years ago, she might not be here today with nearly perfect vision.Thanks to recent improvements in the treatment for this rare form of cancer that almost exclusively affects children under the age of 5, the diagnosis had the power to change Landon’s life when she was 11 months old, but not to take it — or her eyesight.

A Study of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Combinations With Axitinib in Participants With Untreated Locally Advanced Unresectable or Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma

Kidney (Renal Cell)

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of tobemstomig (also
known as RO7247669) in combination with axitinib alone or with tiragolumab (anti-TIGIT) and
axitinib, as compared to pembrolizumab and axitinib in participants with previously
untreated, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma
(ccRCC).

Genetic Testing to Select Therapy for the Treatment of Advanced or Metastatic Kidney Cancer, OPTIC RCC Study

Kidney (Renal Cell)

This phase II trial tests whether using genetic testing of tumor tissue to select the optimal treatment regimen works in treating patients with clear cell renal cell (kidney) cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced or metastatic). The current Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved regimens for advanced kidney cancer fall into two categories. One treatment combination includes two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab plus ipilimumab), which are delivered by separate intravenous infusions into a vein. The other combination is one immunotherapy drug (nivolumab infusion) plus an oral pill taken by mouth (cabozantinib). Nivolumab and ipilimumab are immunotherapies which release the brakes of the immune system, thus allowing the patient's own immune system to better kill cancer cells. Cabozantinib is a targeted therapy specifically designed to block certain biological mechanisms needed for growth of cancer cells. In kidney cancer, cabozantinib blocks a tumors blood supply. The genetic (DNA) makeup of the tumor may affect how well it responds to therapy. Testing the makeup (genes) of the tumor, may help match a treatment (from one of the above two treatment options) to the specific cancer and increase the chance that the disease will respond to treatment. The purpose of this study is to learn if genetic testing of tumor tissue may help doctors select the optimal treatment regimen to which advanced kidney cancer is more likely to respond.

A Study of DS-6000a in Subjects With Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma and Ovarian Tumors

Multiple Cancer Types

This clinical trial will evaluate raludotatug deruxtecan (R-DXd; DS-6000a) in participants
with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and ovarian cancer (OVC). The main goals of this
study will be to investigate the recommended dose of R-DXd that can be given safely to
participants, assess the side effects of R-DXd, and evaluate the effectiveness of R-DXd.

Evexomostat Plus Alpelisib and Fulvestrant in Women With the PIK3CA Mutation With HR+/Her2- Breast Cancer

The PIK3CA gene is frequently mutated in breast cancer, leading to disease aggressiveness and
patient mortality. Alpelisib, a small molecule that inhibits the activity of the PIK3CA gene
product PI3K, has demonstrated clinical benefit in cancer patients with this gene mutation.
However, hyperglycemia, an on-target toxicity associated with alpelisib that leads to
hyperinsulinemia, limits the drug's clinical efficacy and induces high grade hyperglycemia in
patients with baseline metabolic dysfunction, insulin resistance and/or elevated HbA1c.
Restoring insulin sensitivity and reduction in circulating concentrations of insulin have
been reported to improve the activity of alpelisib.

Evexomostat (SDX-7320) is a polymer-conjugate of a novel small molecule methionine
aminopeptidase 2 (MetAP2) inhibitor that has demonstrated the ability to reduce
alpelisib-induced hyperglycemia in multiple animal experiments and has demonstrated
synergistic anti-tumor activity independent of changes in glucose or insulin. Evexomostat was
well tolerated in a Phase 1 safety study in late-stage cancer patients and showed
improvements in insulin resistance for patients that presented with baseline elevated
insulin. Overall, the most common treatment-emergent adverse events with evexomostat (TEAEs)
were fatigue (44%), decreased appetite (38%), constipation and nausea (each 28%), and
diarrhea (22%). All other TEAEs occurred at an incidence <20%.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety of the triplet drug combination
(alpelisib, fulvestrant plus evexomostat), to test whether evexomostat, when given in
combination with alpelisib and fulvestrant will reduce the number and severity of
hyperglycemic events and/or reduce the number of anti-diabetic medications needed to control
the hyperglycemia for patients deemed at risk for alpelisib-induced hyperglycemia (baseline
elevated HbA1c or well-controlled type 2 diabetes), and to assess preliminary anti-tumor
efficacy and changes in key biomarkers and quality of life in this patient population.

Itacitinib for the Treatment Steroid Refractory Immune Related Adverse Events Arising from Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors

Miscellaneous

This phase II trial tests how well itacitinib works in in patients with immune related adverse events (irAEs) arising from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) that do not respond to steroids (steroid refractory). Steroids are the usual treatment for these side effects. However, sometimes steroids do not improve or fix the side effects. Giving itacitinib may be effective in treating patients with known or suspected problems coming from ICIs, that do not resolve or improve with steroids, by reducing the patient's immune system response that can cause the irAEs.

Sparing Bone Marrow in Patients with Stage IIB-IV Lung Cancer, VMAT Trial

Lung

This phase II trial tests whether designing radiation to avoid bone marrow in the spine (vertebral bone marrow) leads to less reduction of white blood cell counts (lymphopenia) in patients with lung cancer. This sparing technique could lead to better disease control and outcome.

Rigosertib Plus Pembrolizumab in Treating Patients with Unresectable/Metastatic Melanoma Refractory to PD-1 Inhibitors

Melanoma

This phase II clinical trial tests how well rigosertib plus pembrolizumab workings in treating patients with melanoma which cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic), and that has not responded to previous treatment with PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitors (refractory). Rigosertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and may change the immune system to make immunotherapy more effective. 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. Giving rigosertib in combination with pembrolizumab may be more effective in treating patients with unresectable metastatic melanoma that has not responded to previous treatment with PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitors than giving either drug alone.
