Researchers are investigating BGB-16673, a targeted protein degrader aimed at treating various B-cell cancers including marginal zone lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Waldenström macroglobulinemia, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The study includes both Phase 1 and Phase 2 parts to determine safe and effective dosing and to evaluate the drug's response in patients. The trial is conducted under the new company name BeOne Medicines, previously known as BeiGene. The treatment involves oral administration of BGB-16673. Phase 1 focuses on dose escalation and safety expansion to identify the maximum tolerated dose and recommended dose for expansion over approximately 28 days to 3 years. Phase 2 includes expansion cohorts to assess overall response rates over about 3 years. Participants may have prior treatments including Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors and other anticancer therapies depending on their cancer type and study phase. Participants will be monitored closely with assessments of adverse events from the first dose until 30 days after the last dose or before starting new therapy, whichever comes first, for up to 47 weeks. The study measures tolerability, dosing recommendations, and treatment response. Eligibility assessments include performance status and measurable disease, with safety and response evaluations continuing through both phases for up to three years.

Researchers are studying BAY 3713372, a new drug being developed to treat solid tumors with a specific genetic change called MTAP deletion. The drug works by blocking a protein called PRMT5, which may kill cancer cells with this deletion while sparing normal cells. This first-in-human study aims to understand the safety, how the body processes the drug, and its effectiveness in people with these MTAP-deleted solid tumors. Participants will receive BAY 3713372 orally every day. The study starts with a dose escalation phase, where different groups get increasing doses to find a safe and effective dose. After this, a dose expansion phase will include more participants receiving the drug alone or with other treatments. Participants can continue treatment as long as they benefit and do not experience severe problems. During the study, participants will visit the study site multiple times before and during treatment, and follow-up visits after treatment ends. Doctors will monitor health through blood and urine tests, heart checks with electrocardiograms, and imaging scans like CT or MRI to track cancer changes. Tumor samples may also be taken. Safety and treatment response will be closely assessed, including adverse events and how the drug behaves in the body. Participants will be contacted every three months for up to two years after treatment to check their health.

Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a condition in which the immune system mistakenly destroys platelets, the cells that help stop bleeding. This leads to a low platelet count, making it easier to bruise or bleed. The trial investigates the long-term safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of mezagitamab in adults with chronic primary ITP who have previously participated in certain mezagitamab studies. It also examines how the body processes mezagitamab over time. Participants who completed the previous mezagitamab studies TAK-079-3002 or TAK-079-1004 and meet specific criteria will receive mezagitamab as a subcutaneous injection during this continuation study. The study is open-label and multicenter, focusing on continued treatment based on protocol requirements. The medication is given under medical supervision, and participants return to the study clinic several times throughout the study. During their participation, individuals will undergo regular assessments including monitoring for treatment-emergent adverse events and serious adverse events up to approximately 108 weeks. Researchers will track safety by noting any adverse events that lead to permanent withdrawal from mezagitamab. The study includes physical evaluations, laboratory tests, and ongoing safety monitoring to understand how well participants tolerate the treatment and how effective it is over the long term.

This research aims to collect long-term safety and effectiveness data for participants treated with ibrutinib, a medicine used for various blood cancers and conditions including Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma, Mantle Cell Lymphoma, Follicular Lymphoma, Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma, Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia, and Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease. It also provides ongoing access to ibrutinib for participants who have completed previous ibrutinib studies, continue treatment, and benefit from it. This is an open-label Phase 3b study without formal hypothesis testing. Participants will continue their current ibrutinib dosing regimen from the prior study, taken orally once daily as capsules in doses of 560 mg, 420 mg, 280 mg, or 140 mg, around the same time each day. Treatment continues until the investigator decides the participant no longer benefits due to disease progression or side effects, the participant withdraws, alternative ibrutinib access becomes available, or the study ends. Participants not able to access ibrutinib elsewhere can keep receiving the single-agent ibrutinib until all transition or stop treatment, or until the study is stopped. During the study, safety is monitored throughout and summarized, and effectiveness may be analyzed together with previous study data. The main outcome measured is the number of participants experiencing any adverse events within 30 days after the last dose or until starting another cancer treatment. Participants will undergo assessments including pregnancy testing and investigator evaluations to ensure ongoing benefit and safety. The study duration depends on when participants stop treatment or transition to other access.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and tolerability of DB-1311/BNT324 in adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors in this Phase 1/2a trial. The study includes a dose-escalation phase to find the maximum tolerated dose and recommended Phase 2 dose, followed by a dose-expansion phase to confirm safety and explore effectiveness, including in prostate cancer patients receiving novel hormone therapy. Additionally, a sub-study will assess the effects of other drugs on DB-1311's behavior in the body. During Phase 1, participants receive increasing doses of DB-1311 administered intravenously using an accelerated titration and classic 3+3 design to determine safe dosage levels. Phase 2a expands on this to further evaluate safety and tolerability, with DB-1311 given alone or combined with hormone therapy drugs such as enzalutamide or abiraterone for prostate cancer. The study also investigates drug interactions with lopinavir/ritonavir and itraconazole. Treatment schedules and dosing details follow the study protocol at multiple centers. Participants will undergo various assessments including safety labs, vital signs, electrocardiograms, heart function tests, and performance status evaluations up to approximately one year after treatment. Researchers will monitor treatment-related toxicities, serious adverse events, and response rates. The involvement includes tumor biopsies for biomarker analysis and adherence to follow-up visits. The total study duration varies by phase, with ongoing safety and efficacy monitoring throughout.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of HLX22 combined with trastuzumab and chemotherapy as the first treatment for patients with HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the gastric or gastroesophageal junction. This phase 2, double-blind, randomized, and multiregional study compares this combination against trastuzumab and chemotherapy with or without pembrolizumab. The study aims to measure how well the treatments work in controlling the disease and improving survival for up to five years. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives HLX22 at 15 mg/kg every three weeks along with trastuzumab, chemotherapy (XELOX regimen), and possibly a placebo for pembrolizumab. The other group receives a placebo for HLX22 plus trastuzumab, chemotherapy (XELOX), and possibly pembrolizumab every three weeks. Treatment continues until the disease worsens, unacceptable side effects occur, withdrawal of consent, or other protocol-specified reasons. Throughout the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including tumor scans reviewed by an independent committee to evaluate progression-free survival and overall survival over up to five years. Other evaluations include safety monitoring and organ function tests. The study tracks how long patients live without disease progression and overall survival, aiming to better understand the benefits and risks of HLX22 combined with current standard treatments.

Researchers are evaluating how well oral icotrokinra works, its safety, and how well patients tolerate it in adults and adolescents with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis, a chronic condition where the colon lining becomes inflamed and develops ulcers. This is a Phase 3 study aimed at finding effective treatments for this condition using a rigorous comparison. Participants will receive either icotrokinra tablets or placebo tablets taken by mouth. The study includes an induction phase and a maintenance phase, with adults participating in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design, while adolescents join an open-label maintenance study. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor clinical remission rates at 12 weeks during induction and at 40 weeks during maintenance. Participants will undergo assessments including endoscopic evaluations and pregnancy tests for females of childbearing potential. Safety and tolerability will be closely observed, with the total study duration covering both induction and maintenance periods.

Researchers are conducting a phase III randomized, open-label, multicenter trial across several countries including Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Italy, Australia, and New Zealand. The study focuses on elderly patients with untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), defined as patients aged 80 years or older, or those aged 75 years or older who are considered frail based on a simplified Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment. The trial aims to compare the effectiveness of two treatment regimens in this population. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the standard R-miniCHOP treatment or an experimental R-pola-miniCHP regimen where vincristine is replaced with an immunoconjugate, polatuzumab vedotin. Both treatments involve cycles of drugs including rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone, administered over 18 weeks. The trial includes a screening period lasting up to 4 weeks, followed by the active treatment phase, and then a follow-up period lasting up to 36 months after treatment completion. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored to measure progression-free survival over 2 years as the primary outcome. The study involves regular assessments including clinical evaluations and safety monitoring. Enrollment began in the first quarter of 2020, with the last patient visit expected by the first quarter of 2027, allowing for long-term observation of treatment effects and patient outcomes.

Researchers are investigating how CDR132L, a potential new medicine, affects the structure and function of the heart in people living with heart failure with reduced or mildly reduced ejection fraction and left ventricular hypertrophy. This Phase 2 study compares CDR132L to a placebo, where participants receive either treatment randomly. The study aims to evaluate changes in a specific biomarker, microRNA-132-3p, over 24 weeks, with the total study duration lasting about 60 weeks. Participants will receive either CDR132L or a placebo through an intravenous infusion once every 4 weeks for a total of 48 weeks. The treatments are given under a double-blind design, meaning neither the participants nor the researchers know who receives which treatment until the study ends. This allows for a fair comparison of the effects of CDR132L versus placebo on heart structure and function. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including laboratory tests to measure heart-related biomarkers and imaging tests such as echocardiography to monitor heart structure and function. Researchers will track changes from baseline to week 24 in microRNA-132 levels and continue monitoring participants through the 60-week study period to evaluate safety and treatment effects. Ongoing clinical evaluations and safety checks will help ensure participant well-being throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating ziltivekimab as a treatment for people living with heart failure and inflammation. This Phase 3 study compares ziltivekimab to a placebo in participants with heart failure who have mild to preserved ejection fraction and systemic inflammation. The study aims to assess the effect of ziltivekimab on cardiovascular death, heart failure hospitalization, or urgent heart failure visits over a period of up to 4 years. Participants will receive monthly injections of either ziltivekimab or a placebo using a pre-filled syringe or a pen-injector. The study medication is administered subcutaneously once a month for up to 4 years. The trial includes up to 20 clinic visits during which participants will be monitored and assessed. During the study, participants will use a study app on their phone to record all injections and complete questionnaires. Researchers will monitor participants for key outcomes like cardiovascular events and heart failure episodes from the time of randomization until the end of the study. Safety and health status will be regularly evaluated throughout the study period, which may last up to 48 months.
