Apalutamide is an anti-androgen that blocks the effect of testosterone on prostate cancer growth. This phase IIa trial is designed to determine whether very low doses of apalutamide, given for 3 to 4 weeks before prostate surgery to men with prostate cancer confined to the prostate gland, reduces plasma levels of PSA (a biomarker of apalutamide's ability to block testosterone). If low dose apalutamide lowers PSA levels in this setting, further study of this agent in men with localized prostate cancer who wish to delay definitive therapy with surgery or radiation may be warranted.

This is a Phase 1/2 study of EPI-7386 orally administered in combination with enzalutamide in subjects with mCRPC. Phase 1 of the study will be a single-arm dose escalation study of EPI-7386 in combination with a fixed dose of enzalutamide. This portion of the study will primarily evaluate the safety and tolerability of the drug combination and establish the RP2CDs for EPI-7386 and enzalutamide when dosed in combination. In addition, blood sampling will be conducted for PK evaluation to assess the potential DDI between the two drugs. Once the RP2CD for each drug has been established, Phase 2 of the study will commence. Phase 2 is a two-arm, randomized (2:1), open-label study. Approximately 120 subjects will be randomized 2:1 to: Group 1: EPI-7386 at the RP2CD + enzalutamide(depending on the results of the Phase 1) (n=80) Group 2: Enzalutamide single agent (n=40) The planned dose of enzalutamide and EPI-7386 for the combination arm will be those determined in the Phase 1 of this study based on safety and exposure data. Subjects may remain on study treatment as long as they are tolerating treatment without disease progression based on RECIST v1.1 and/or PCWG3. Read Less

This phase II trial studies how well the combination of avelumab with liposomal doxorubicin with or without binimetinib, or the combination of avelumab with sacituzumab govitecan works in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer that is stage IV or is not able to be removed by surgery (unresectable) and has come back (recurrent). Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors like avelumab require activation of the patient's immune system. This trial includes a two week induction or lead-in of medications that can stimulate the immune system. It is our hope that this induction will improve the response to immunotherapy with avelumab. One treatment, sacituzumab Govitecan, is a monoclonal antibody called sacituzumab linked to a chemotherapy drug called SN-38. Sacituzumab govitecan is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of tumor cells, known as Tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 2 (TROP2) receptors, and delivers SN-38 to kill them. Another treatment, liposomal doxorubicin, is a form of the anticancer drug doxorubicin that is contained in very tiny, fat-like particles. It may have fewer side effects and work better than doxorubicin, and may enhance factors associated with immune response. The third medication is called binimetinib, which may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth, and may help activate the immune system. It is not yet known whether giving avelumab in combination with liposomal doxorubicin with or without binimetinib, or the combination of avelumab with sacituzumab govitecan will work better in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer.

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with specific genetic changes called epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) mutations. Advanced NSCLC refers to a type of lung cancer that has spread from the lungs to nearby tissues or other body parts. People with advanced NSCLC may have changes in certain proteins, like EGFR and HER2, that cause uncontrolled cell growth and increased spread of cancer. In this study, participants will be healthy and will not benefit from taking the study treatment, BAY2927088. However, the study will provide information about how to test BAY2927088 in future studies with people who have advanced NSCLC with EGFR or HER2 mutations. BAY2927088 is under development for the treatment of advanced NSCLC with EGFR or HER2 mutations. It is expected to work against these changed proteins, which might slow down the spread of cancer. The absorption of BAY2927088 into the blood is dependent on the amount of acid present in the stomach. Esomeprazole is a medicine which is used in the treatment of heartburn and excessive acid in the stomach. Both food and esomeprazole may change the amount of acid present in the stomach. The main purpose of this study is to find out how food and esomeprazole may affect the absorption of BAY2927088 into the blood of healthy participants. For this, researchers will measure the levels of BAY2927088 in participants' blood when it is given with or without food as well as with or without esomeprazole. Researchers will then calculate the following: Area under the curve (AUC): a measure of the total amount of BAY2927088 in participants' blood over time Maximum observed concentration (Cmax): the highest amount of BAY2927088 in participants' blood The study will have 4 treatment periods: - Periods 1 to 3 (Day 1 to Day 9): All participants will take BAY2927088 with a low-fat meal, with a high-fat meal, and on an empty stomach, but in a different order, over the 3 study periods. Each period will last for 3 days and BAY2927088 will be given on the first day of each period. On Day 9, participants will take esomeprazole on an empty stomach. - Period 4 (Day 10 to Day 14): On Days 10 and 11, participants will take esomeprazole on an empty stomach. On Day 12, participants will take esomeprazole on an empty stomach. After 1 and a half hours, participants will take low-fat meal and BAY2927088. On Day 13, participants will take esomeprazole on an empty stomach. Participants will be in this study for about 8 weeks with 3 visits to the study clinic. Participants will visit the study clinic: at least once, 2 to 28 days before the treatment starts, to confirm they can take part in this study once on the day before the treatment starts and will stay in the clinic until Day 14 of the treatment once, 7 to 10 days after last dose of BAY2927088, for a health check-up During the study, the doctors and their study team will: do physical examinations collect blood samples from the participants to measure the levels of BAY2927088 check participants' health by performing tests, such as blood and urine tests, and checking heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. The study doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective of whether they think it is related or not to the study treatment. Read Less

Eligible patients with stage 2 and 3 triple negative breast cancer will be treated with 4 cycles of neoadjuvant paclitaxel/carboplatin/pembrolizumab. A PET scan will be performed at baseline and after 1 cycle of therapy. A breast MRI will be performed after treatment completion. Patients with complete clinical response will proceed to surgery. Patients with clinical residual disease will complete neoadjuvant rescue with 4 cycles of doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide prior to surgery. If residual disease identified after surgery, adjuvant therapy to be determined by the treating oncologist (may include doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide/pembrolizumab, capecitabine etc). Read Less
