This is a parallel-group, Phase 3, double-blind, 2-arm study to investigate the efficacy, safety, PK and PD of oral rilzabrutinib in achieving durable Hb response (DHR) compared with placebo in approximately 90 male and female participants ≥ 18 years of age with a confirmed diagnosis of primary wAIHA.

All participants who completed PAP will then continue in open-label period (OLP) to receive rilzabrutinib for a duration of 28 weeks. Upon the completion of OLP, only participants who demonstrate Hb increase during the last 8 weeks of OLP per specified criteria in the protocol will be eligible to continue in long-term extension (LTE) of the study. The duration of the LTE period will be from the first-participant-in (FPI)-LTE until the last participant completes 52 weeks in LTE. The safety follow-up period of this study following treatment completion or discontinuation will be 2 weeks.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common type of cancer diagnosed worldwide. The purpose of this study is to assess change in disease activity when telisotuzumab adizutecan is given alone compared to standard of care (SOC) given alone. Telisotuzumab adizutecan is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of CRC. This study will be divided into two groups called treatment arms. In arm 1 participants will receive telisotuzumab adizutecan alone. In arm 2 participants will receive SOC alone. Approximately 140 adult participants with CRC will be enrolled in the study in 45 sites worldwide. In arm 1, participants will receive intravenous (IV) doses of telisotuzumab adizutecan alone. In arm 2 Participants will receive SOC alone. The study will run for a duration of approximately 51 months. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires and side effects.

open study

The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn the safety and effects of the study medicine (PF-07799544) alone or in combination as a potential cancer treatment for adults with advanced solid tumors. The study will be conducted in two parts: PF-07799544 as a single agent (Phase 1a) and PF-07799544 in combination with another study medicine called PF-07799933 (Phase 1b). Phase 1a is no longer open for enrollment. In Phase1b (noted as "this study"), we are seeking participants who have: - a solid tumor which is metastatic or recurrent (excluding colorectal cancer) - tumor with the mutation (abnormal gene) called "BRAF V600" - received required prior treatment for cancer per cohort assigned. All participants in this study will receive both study medicines. Both study medicines are tablets that are taken by mouth at home twice a day. Participants will receive study medicines until their cancer is no longer responding, unacceptable side effects, or 2 years. Participants may continue to receive study therapy beyond 2 years. We will examine the experiences of people receiving the study medicines. This will help us determine if the study medicines are safe and effective.

This is a Phase Ib/II, open-label, multicenter, randomized umbrella study in participants with breast cancer. The study is designed with the flexibility to open new treatment arms as new treatments become available, close existing treatment arms that demonstrate minimal clinical activity or unacceptable toxicity, or modify the patient population. Cohort 1 will focus on participants with inoperable, locally advanced or metastatic, estrogen receptor-positive (ER+), HER2-negative breast cancer who had disease progression during or following treatment with a cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i; e.g., palbociclib, ribociclib, abemaciclib) in the first- or second-line setting. Cohort 2 will focus on inoperable, locally advanced or metastatic, ER+, HER2-positive breast cancer with previous progression to standard-of-care anti-HER2 therapies, of which one was a trastuzumab-and-taxane-based systemic therapy (including in the early setting if recurrence occurred within 6 months of finishing adjuvant therapy) and one was a HER2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC; e.g., ado-trastuzumab emtansine or trastuzumab-deruxtecan) or a HER2-targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI; e.g., tucatinib, lapatinib, pyrotinib, or neratinib). Cohort 3 will focus on inoperable, locally advanced or metastatic, ER+, HER2-negative, PIK3CA-mutated breast cancer with resistance to adjuvant endocrine therapy.

This study will test the hypotheses that adolescent with repetitive negative thinking who at at-risk for serious mental illness will show greater default mode network (DMN) connectivity than healthy controls, at-risk adolescents will show greater changes in DMN connectivity than healthy controls, and that a longer session of mindfulness based neurofeedback will lead to greater reduction in DMN connectivity. To do so, 50 adolescents with elevated repetitive negative thinking and 50 matched healthy control participants will be enrolled into a double-blind randomized clinical trial of a session of mindfulness training with either active mindfulness-basde neurofeedback or sham mindfulness-based neurofeedback.
