S2302, PRAGMATICA – LUNG - A Prospective Randomized Study of Ramucirumab (LY3009806; NSC 749128) plus Pembrolizumab (MK-3475; NSC 776864) versus Standard of Care for Participants Previously Treated with Immunotherapy for Stage IV or Recurrent Non-Small S2302, PRAGMATICA – LUNG - A Prospective Randomized Study of Ramucirumab (LY3009806; NSC 749128) plus Pembrolizumab (MK-3475; NSC 776864) versus Standard of Care for Participants Previously Treated with Immunotherapy for Stage IV or Recurrent Non-Small This phase III trial compares the effect of the combination of ramucirumab and pembrolizumab versus standard of care chemotherapy for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer that is stage IV or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Ramucirumab is a monoclonal antibody that may prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. 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. Chemotherapy drugs 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. This trial may help doctors find out if giving ramucirumab with pembrolizumab is more effective at treating patients with stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer than standard chemotherapy.ClinicalTrials.gov registration not requiredSherri Cervantez, MD

A Randomized Phase 3 Study of Datopotamab Deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) and Pembrolizumab, with or Without Platinum Chemotherapy, in Subjects with No Prior Therapy for Advanced or Metastatic PD-L1 TPS A Randomized Phase 3 Study of Datopotamab Deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) and Pembrolizumab, with or Without Platinum Chemotherapy, in Subjects with No Prior Therapy for Advanced or Metastatic PD-L1 TPS <50% Non-squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Without ActionablThis study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) in combination with pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab in combination with pemetrexed and platinum chemotherapy in participants with no prior therapy for advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)ClinicalTrials.gov registration not requiredSherri Cervantez, MD

A Phase 3 Study of Pembrolizumab in Combination With Carboplatin/Taxane (Paclitaxel or Nabpaclitaxel) followed by Pembrolizumab With or Without Maintenance MK-2870 in the First-line Treatment of Metastatic Squamous Nonsmall Cell Lung CancerA Phase 3 Study of Pembrolizumab in Combination With Carboplatin/Taxane (Paclitaxel or Nabpaclitaxel) followed by Pembrolizumab With or Without Maintenance MK-2870 in the First-line Treatment of Metastatic Squamous Nonsmall Cell Lung CancerThis is a phase 3 study of pembrolizumab in combination with carboplatin/taxane (paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel) followed by pembrolizumab with or without maintenance sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT; MK-2870) in first-line treatment of metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer. It is hypothesized that pembrolizumab with maintenance sacituzumab tirumotecan is superior to pembrolizumab without sacituzumab tirumotecan maintenance with respect to overall survival (OS).ClinicalTrials.gov registration not requiredSherri Cervantez, MD

Metabolic kinetic phenotyping to predict cachexia and health outcomes in response to chemoradiation in patients with Head & Neck CancerMetabolic kinetic phenotyping to predict cachexia and health outcomes in response to chemoradiation in patients with Head & Neck CancerFifteen patients with advanced H&amp;N cancer who will receive chemoradiation therapy as first line treatment will be studied (as weight loss is expected). The cancer patients will be recruited at the UT Health Mays Cancer Center (MCC) in San Antonio with testing to be performed at the Barshop Institute. The cancer group will be compared to 15 control subjects, recruited at CTRAL (Center for Translational Research on Aging and Longevity) in College Station, who are age/sex/BMI matched and with no active or historic cancer diagnosis based on extensive medical screening.ClinicalTrials.gov registration not requiredSherri Cervantez, MD

MONITOR-Breast: Monitoring cell-free tumor DNA as a marker of recurrence in Breast Cancer MONITOR-Breast: Monitoring cell-free tumor DNA as a marker of recurrence in Breast Cancer This is a prospective, observational study designed to evaluate the clinical validity of Myriad Genetics’ MRD test in patients diagnosed with breast cancer. It is expected that enrollment will be split between the different breast cancer subtypes defined by immunohistochemistry (HR+/HER2-, HER2+ (HR+ and HR-), TNBC) and according to BINV-A of National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines with ER+ status used here as &gt;10% of nuclei staining.ClinicalTrials.gov registration not requiredMarcela Mazo Canola MD
