Trial 1: Pancreatic Cancer (Phase II): This Phase II trial evaluates the efficacy of adding olaparib, a DNA repair inhibitor, to the treatment regimen of pancreatic cancer patients with BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 mutations who have had surgery. The study aims to determine if inhibiting DNA repair can help eradicate cancer cells in this specific patient group. Trial 2: Prostate Cancer (Phase III): This Phase III trial examines if adding apalutamide to standard post-surgery treatment (radiation and hormone therapy) enhances outcomes in patients with lymph node positive prostate cancer. Apalutamide inhibits the binding of androgens to cancer cells, aiming to decelerate their growth and dissemination, potentially improving disease control and extending progression-free survival. Trial 3: Kidney Cancer (Phase III): This trial evaluates whether combining surgery with standard immunotherapy drugs offers more benefits than using the drug combination alone in treating metastatic kidney cancer.
