Researchers are studying a medicine called enlicitide to reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in adults with high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia). This trial aims to find out if taking enlicitide together with rosuvastatin, a standard cholesterol-lowering drug, works better than a placebo in lowering LDL-C levels. The study is a Phase 3 trial that is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled to ensure accurate and unbiased results. Participants will receive oral tablets of enlicitide or placebo along with oral capsules of rosuvastatin or placebo. The study compares the effect of enlicitide plus rosuvastatin against placebo to evaluate their impact on LDL-C. The treatment period lasts 8 weeks, during which participants take their assigned medications as directed. During the study, researchers will measure the average percent change in LDL-C from the start of the trial to week 8. Participants will be monitored for safety and any side effects throughout the study. The total participation time includes screening, treatment, and follow-up assessments to evaluate the medicines' effects and safety in adults aged 18 to 64 with hyperlipidemia.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of two dosing regimens of itepekimab compared to placebo as an add-on treatment to intranasal corticosteroids in adult men and women with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). This multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study includes participants aged 18 years and older who have inadequately controlled CRSwNP. The study aims to better understand how these treatments impact nasal polyp symptoms and disease control over a one-year period. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of two dosing regimens of itepekimab or a placebo, all administered by subcutaneous injection.

Researchers are evaluating the ability of the drug LXE408 to clear or reduce parasites in the blood of people with chronic Chagas disease who do not have severe organ dysfunction. This phase 2, proof-of-concept, randomized, participant- and investigator-blinded study compares LXE408 to placebo and the standard treatment benznidazole. The study aims to assess the effectiveness, safety, how the drug moves through and affects the body, and tolerability of LXE408 in adults with chronic indeterminate Chagas disease. The study includes four treatment groups with LXE408, placebo, and benznidazole administered orally. Participants receive the assigned treatments according to the study protocol. The study design is parallel group controlled, ensuring participants receive only their assigned treatment. Specific dosing details and treatment duration are outlined in the study plan. Participants will be monitored through visits that include blood tests using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to check for parasite clearance at 2, 4, and 6 months after treatment starts. Safety and efficacy will be evaluated through clinical assessments, laboratory tests, and participant questionnaires. The study tracks how well participants adhere to the treatment and monitors for any side effects, with follow-up lasting at least six months to observe sustained parasite clearance.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of the drug orforglipron compared with a placebo on cardiovascular outcomes in adults who have atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and/or chronic kidney disease (CKD). This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to investigate major adverse cardiovascular events over a long period. Participants will receive either orforglipron or a placebo orally. The study is event-driven and will continue until the occurrence of major cardiovascular events or up to about 5 years. The treatments are administered without revealing to participants which group they are in to ensure unbiased results. During the study, participants will be monitored for the time to the first occurrence of a major cardiovascular event. Researchers will collect data from baseline through the end of the study, which lasts approximately 5 years. Regular assessments will help evaluate the safety and effects of the treatments on cardiovascular health in this population.
