Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Magrolimab in Combination With Azacitidine Versus Physician's Choice of Venetoclax in Combination With Azacitidine or Intensive Chemotherapy in Previously Untreated Adults With TP53 Mutant Acute Myeloid Leukemia (GS-US 546-5857)
Gilead Sciences/Enhance-2 - Dr. Nabeel Rajeh (Temporary hold on enrollment)
The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of magrolimab + azacitidine versus venetoclax + azacitidine in adults with previously untreated TP53 mutant acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are appropriate for non-intensive therapy as measured by overall survival (OS).
A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Magrolimab versus Placebo in Combination with Venetoclax and Azacitidine in Newly Diagnosed, Previously Untreated Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia Who Are Ineligible for Intensive Chemotherapy (GS-US-590-6154)
Gilead Sciences/Enhance-3 - Dr. Nabeel Rajeh (Temporary hold on enrollment)
The primary objectives of this study are to compare the efficacy of magrolimab + venetoclax + azacitidine versus placebo + venetoclax + azacitidine in participants with previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy.
Reaching Rural Cancer Survivors who Smoke Using Test-Based Cessation Interventions
Alliance/A211901 - Dr. John Dombrowski
This phase III trial compares the effect of text-based cessation intervention to a manual in helping rural cancer patients who smoke to quit. Text-based scheduled gradual reduction may reduce the frequency of cigarette use to zero and may be effective in quitting smoking.
A Phase 1b/3 Double-blind Randomized, Active-controlled, 3-stage, Biomarker Adaptive Study of Tazemetostat or Placebo in Combination With Lenalidomide Plus Rituximab in Subjects With Relapsed/Refractory Follicular Lymphoma
Epizyme/EZH-302 - Dr. Nabeel Rajeh
This is a multicenter, double-blind, active-controlled, randomized, 3-stage, biomarker enrichment design featuring early futility stopping and sample-size re-estimation with safety run-in designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tazemetostat in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab (R2) in subjects with relapsed or refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL), who have completed at least one prior systemic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or chemoimmunotherapy.
Randomized Phase II/III Trial Of Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy Versus Elective Neck Dissection For Early-Stage Oral Cavity Cancer
NRG/HN006 - Dr. Sean Massa
This phase II/III trial studies how well sentinel lymph node biopsy works and compares sentinel lymph node biopsy surgery to standard neck dissection as part of the treatment for early-stage oral cavity cancer. Sentinel lymph node biopsy surgery is a procedure that removes a smaller number of lymph nodes from your neck because it uses an imaging agent to see which lymph nodes are most likely to have cancer. Standard neck dissection, such as elective neck dissection, removes many of the lymph nodes in your neck. Using sentinel lymph node biopsy surgery may work better in treating patients with early-stage oral cavity cancer compared to standard elective neck dissection.
A Multicenter, Open-label, Randomized Phase 3 Trial Comparing the Safety and Efficacy of 177 Lu-PSMA-I&T vs. Hormone Therapy in Patients with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

64Cu-SAR-BBN Positron Emission Tomorgraphy: A Phase 2 Study of Participants with PSMA-negative Biochemical Recurrence of Prostate Cancer
Clarity Pharmeceuticals, Ltd/SABRE - Dr. Medhat Osman
The aim of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of 64Cu-SAR-BBN and determine the ability of 64Cu-SAR-BBN Positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) to correctly detect the recurrence of prostate cancer in participants with PSMA-negative biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer following definitive therapy.

In this first-in-human, phase I/IIa study, the safety and efficacy of [212Pb]VMT01, an alpha-particle emitting therapeutic agent targeted to melanocortin sub-type 1 receptor (MC1R) is being evaluated in patients with unresectable and metastatic melanoma.
Parallel Phase III Randomized Trials of Genomic-Risk Stratified Unfavorable Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer: De-Intensification and Intensification Clinical Trial Evaluation (GUIDANCE)
NRG - Dr. Jeevin Shahi
This phase III trial uses the Decipher risk score to guide intensification (for higher Decipher gene risk) or de-intensification (for low Decipher gene risk) of treatment to better match therapies to an individual patient's cancer aggressiveness.
