FeAsiBility of a Treatment Free Interval in Newly Diagnosed MM Patients Treated With Daratumumab-lenalidomide-dexamethasone (HOVON174MM)

Improving Therapeutic Ratio With Hypo Fractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Brain Metastases

Randomized phase II trial. Stereotactic radiotherapy is one of the most frequently chosen treatment options for brain metastases. There are an increasing number of long term survivors. Brain necrosis (e.g. radio necrosis) is the most important long term side effect of the treatment, occurring in up to 40% of patients, dependent on the size of the metastasis and delivered radiotherapy dose. Retrospective studies have shown that the incidence of radio necrosis, as well as local tumor recurrence, can be decreased with a risk difference of around 20% by administrating fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (fSRT, e.g. five fractions) over single fraction stereotactic radiotherapy, especially in large brain metastases. In this trial, one group is treated with SRT in one or three fractions. The other group is treated with fSRT in five fractions. Survival, toxicity and patient reported quality of life are monitored.

Minimal Invasive Axillary Staging and Treatment After Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy in Node Positive Breast Cancer

The MINIMAX is a multicenter registry study that includes node positive breast cancer patients, who are treated with NST (chemotherapy and ± immunotherapy), in order to gain insight in the oncologic safety and impact on QoL of less and more invasive axillary staging and treatment strategies. Patients who are included in this study will complete Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) at baseline (time of diagnosis), and 1 and 5 years after diagnosis to assess impact on QoL. A database will be built by the Netherlands Cancer Registry. Data on patient-, tumor-, pre-NST staging-, post-NST staging- and treatment-characteristics will be retrieved from patients' records by trained data registrars of the Netherlands Comprehensive Cancer Organisation (IKNL) using electronic case report forms (eCRFs). Five-year survival and recurrence will be evaluated to determine oncologic safety. The results will be incorporated in the national guidelines. In case of an equilibrium between less and more invasive strategies, the data of this study will at least be extremely suitable to be used in the shared decision making process.

Induction Chemotherapy for Locally Recurrent Rectal Cancer

Management of Low-risk (Grade I and II) DCIS

Background of the study: The introduction of population-based breast cancer screening and implementation of digital mammography have led to an increased incidence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) without a decrease in the incidence of advanced breast cancer. This suggests DCIS overdiagnosis exists. We hypothesize that asymptomatic, low-risk DCIS (grade I and II DCIS) can safely be managed by active surveillance. If progression to invasive breast cancer would still occur, this will be lowgrade and hormone receptor positive with excellent survival rates. Also, breast-conserving treatment will still be an option, if no prior radiotherapy has been applied. It also may save many low-risk DCIS patients from intensive treatment. Objective of the study: The primary end-point is ipsilateral invasive breast tumor-free rate at 10 years. Secondary end-points are among others: overall survival, breast cancer-specific survival, mastectomy rate and patient reported outcomes. To determine whether low- risk DCIS can safely (measured by ipsilateral invasive breast cancer rate at 10 years) be managed by an active surveillance strategy or if the conventional treatment, being either wide local excision (WLE) only, WLE plus radiotherapy or mastectomy, possibly followed by hormonal therapy, will remain the standard of care. Study design: Phase III, open-label, non-inferiority, multi-center, non-randomized clinical trial. By patient's preference, women will be included into one of the following arms: active surveillance or standard treatment according to local policy, being either WLE alone, WLE plus radiotherapy or mastectomy, possibly followed by hormonal therapy. The same follow-up scheme will be applied in both study arms, i.e. annual mammography for a period of five years and an additional two mammograms at year seven and ten.

A Global Phase III Study of Rilvegostomig or Pembrolizumab Plus Chemotherapy for First-Line Treatment of Metastatic Squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

This is a Phase III, two-arm, randomized, double-blind, global, multicenter study assessing the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab, both in combination with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, as a first-line (1L) treatment for patients with squamous metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) whose tumors express PD-L1 (tumor cells (TC) ≥ 1%).
