A Study to Learn About the Study Medicine Called PF-07799544 as Monotherapy or in Combination in People With Advanced Solid Tumors

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.

A Study to Evaluate GFH375 Versus Docetaxel in Participants With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer With KRAS G12D Mutation

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of GFH375 versus docetaxel in participants with KRAS G12D-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). GFH375 is an oral, highly selective, non-covalent small-molecule inhibitor targeting the KRAS G12D mutation. Preclinical studies showed GFH375 strongly blocks KRAS-driven signaling and cancer cell growth, and demonstrated anti-tumor activity in NSCLC animal models. Docetaxel is a chemotherapy drug for locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. This is an open-label, randomized controlled trial. Both participant and study doctor will know which study medication each participant receives. After enrollment, participant will be randomly assigned to either the GFH375 group or docetaxel group by chance. Neither participant nor study doctor can pick your treatment group. You have a two-thirds chance to receive GFH375 and a one-third chance to receive docetaxel. * GFH375 group: Take GFH375 tablets by mouth once daily as scheduled; each treatment cycle lasts 21 days. * Docetaxel group: Receive docetaxel via intravenous infusion at 75 mg/m² once every 3 weeks. Study treatment will continue until cancer gets worse, participant can't tolerate the study treatment, or other conditions make participant unable to keep receiving study treatment. Some participants on docetaxel may be able to switch to GFH375 during the study if their cancer becomes worse. There will be safety checks at each visit, and the doctors will continue to check for medical problems and participant 's wellbeing throughout the study. Participants will continue to have scans of their tumor every 6 weeks for the first year, then every 9 weeks until their cancer becomes worse. After participant's cancer becomes worse, clinic staff will telephone participant every 3 mouths to check on their cancer.

Bright Light Therapy in Patients With Melanoma or Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Who Are Receiving First-Line Immune Checkpoint Blockade

This study is being done to test whether bright light therapy can be used to synchronize patients' circadian rhythms and allow ICB (immune-checkpoint blockade) therapy to be administered at a time in the circadian rhythm that optimizes clinical outcomes. This trial will test the feasibility of delivering bright light therapy (BLT) to patients undergoing ICB therapy. This trial asks participants to spend 60 minutes every morning receiving daily bright light therapy for at least 7 days prior to starting Immune Checkpoint blockade-containing regimens (e.g. anti-PD-1 and/or anti-CTLA-4 alone or in combination with chemotherapy). The bright light therapy will be delivered via the Circadian OS iPad application. There is evidence that a person's circadian rhythm can affect the response to immunotherapy. The circadian rhythm is a natural, internal process that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. Many patients with cancer have disrupted circadian rhythms and it's possible that disrupted circadian rhythms decrease the likelihood of responding to immunotherapy. The idea is to use bright light therapy, delivered via the Circadian OS iPad application, for an hour in the morning to synchronize your circadian rhythm for a week before your planned immunotherapy. The investigators hope that this will increase the likelihood of a response to immunotherapy, however in this study, the investigators are mainly concerned with whether the bright light therapy is tolerable to patients.

Neoadjuvant Therapy With Ensartinib Combined With Chemotherapy for ALK-positive Non - Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Ensartinib combined with chemotherapy works as a neoadjuvant treatment for patients with stage II-IIIB (N2) ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It will also learn about the safety of this combination therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does Ensartinib combined with chemotherapy lead to a pathological complete response (pCR) in surgically removed tumor tissue after neoadjuvant treatment? * What medical problems do participants have when taking Ensartinib combined with chemotherapy? This is a single-arm study, meaning all participants will receive the investigational treatment. There is no placebo or active comparator group. The study will be conducted in two stages; the second stage will proceed only if no special, unexpected, or serious adverse events related to Ensartinib occur during the first stage involving 5 participants. Participants will: * Receive neoadjuvant treatment with Ensartinib (taken orally once daily) plus Pemetrexed and Carboplatin (administered intravenously every 3 weeks) for 9 weeks (3 cycles). * Undergo surgical resection within 4 weeks after completing neoadjuvant therapy. * Attend regular clinic visits for check-ups, blood tests, and imaging scans (CT, MRI) according to a detailed schedule during the neoadjuvant, surgical, and long-term follow-up periods (up to 10 years). * Be monitored for adverse events and survival outcomes.

Single-Fraction Pulmonary Ablative Radiotherapy Outcomes and Quality-of-life Workup

Pulmonary tumors, whether primary or metastatic, represent a major challenge in oncology. Primary lung cancers are responsible for nearly 37,000 deaths per year in France, highlighting the critical importance of their management. Moreover, secondary pulmonary lesions are present in 20% of solid cancers and show wide variability in prognosis. Oligometastatic disease (≤ 3 to 5 lesions) is associated with a better prognosis, justifying the development of local treatments for these lesions, particularly stereotactic radiotherapy. During the COVID-19 pandemic, single-fraction protocols (30-34 Gy) were implemented to limit patient exposure, showing outcomes equivalent to multi-fraction regimens for both primary and secondary lesions. However, the impact of these treatments on quality of life remains poorly documented-especially for non-small cell lung carcinoma-and needs to be further explored to optimize their integration into routine clinical practice. The primary objective of this study is to assess the impact of single-fraction stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for pulmonary lesions on quality of life. To this end, patients will complete a standardized French-language quality of life questionnaire, the EORTC QLQ-C30 and LC-29, before treatment and at 1 month (M1), 3 months (M3), 6 months (M6), 9 months (M9), and 12 months (M12) after treatment. This validated, disease-specific questionnaire comprises 59 items: 30 assessing overall quality of life (QLQ-C30) and 29 addressing aspects related to lung cancer treatments (LC-29). It includes questions on respiratory symptoms, chest pain, fatigue, and the functional impact of the treatment.

Hyperprogression in PD-L1 ≥ 50% NSCLC: a Biomarker Guided Phase 2 Trial

In metastatic NSCLC patients with PD-L1 expression ≥50%, a circulating immature (CD10-) LDNs level of ≥30.5% confers a high risk of hyperprogression (HPD) with first line single-agent immune-checkpoint inhibitors (SA-ICI). HPD is defined as a tumor growth rate (TGR) delta ≥50% between pre-treatment and post-treatment, and/or a TGR ratio ≥2. The combination of platinum-based chemotherapy (PCT) with ICI in this setting could prevent the occurrence of HPD and ultimately improve survival outcomes. This randomized, multicentric, open-label, phase 2 trial will include patients with stage IV NSCL, without targetable oncogene drivers, PD-L1 TPS≥50%, and measurable disease on two CT scans performed before randomization. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to SA-ICI or ICI+PCT. Radiological evaluation will be performed by CT-scan at 6-8 weeks and subsequently according to the local investigators' schedule. In the SA-ICI arm, ICI regimen will include cemiplimab. In the PCT+ICI arm, PCT regimens will include both carboplatin or cisplatin + pemetrexed (for non-squamous histology) or paclitaxel (for squamous histology) in combination with cemiplimab. PCT will be administered for three cycles. In case of stable disease or partial response according to RECIST v.1.1, cemiplimab will be performed as monotherapy from the third cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. If progression according to RECIST v.1.1 or HPD after three cycles of PCT+ICI, patients will be treated with standard second line therapy as local standard of care.
