A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Gocatamig (MK-6070) and Ifinatamab Deruxtecan (I-DXd) in Participants With Relapsed/Refractory Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (MK-6070-002)
Recruiting
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) that has relapsed or is refractory. Gocatamig is a new type of immunotherapy that uses a person's immune system to find and destroy cancer cells. Ifinatamab deruxtecan (also known as I-DXd) is a drug which binds to a specific target on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells. Durvalumab is a different type of immunotherapy that also destroys cancer cells. Researchers want to... Read More

Bedtime Stories: Tailored Sleep Health Messaging for Caregivers
Recruiting
To date, there are very few established sleep health education models targeting caregivers of school-aged children from historically marginalized and/or low income communities. To address this significant gap, this project seeks to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of the Bedtime Stories Sleep Health Education Program to improve sleep behavior. Bedtime Stories is a multi-stakeholder (health care providers, school-aged children, and caregivers of school-aged children) and a mu... Read More

Testing Osimertinib as a Treatment for Lung Cancers With an EGFR Exon 20 Change
Recruiting
This phase II trial studies how well osimertinib works in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation that is stage IIIB-IV or has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Venetoclax on Participants Receiving a Covalent Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (cBTKi) for First-line Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (1L CLL) to Achieve Deep Durable Remissions to Allow Off-treatment Period.
Recruiting
The main purpose of the study is to evaluate if adding venetoclax to participants receiving cBTKi for the 1L CLL can achieve deep durable remissions of undetectable measurable residual disease \[uMRD \< or 10\^-4 in peripheral blood (PB)\] by end of combination treatment (EOCT) to allow off-treatment period. The acronym BRAVE stands for Btki Responders to Achieve deep remission (or off-treatment periods) with VEnetoclax.
