Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of pirtobrutinib in adults with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). The study focuses on two parts: Part 1 tests three different doses of pirtobrutinib in participants who have had 1 to 3 prior treatments, including a covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor. Part 2 evaluates pirtobrutinib alone in participants who have not received prior treatment but have a specific genetic deletion called 17p. This is a phase 2, open-label, randomized study. Pirtobrutinib is given orally to participants in both study parts. Participants in Part 1 receive one of three dose levels, while those in Part 2 receive pirtobrutinib monotherapy. Part 1 participation lasts about 3 years, and Part 2 participation can last up to 2 years. The study compares the effects of different doses and treatment histories to better understand pirtobrutinib’s impact on CLL/SLL. Throughout the study, researchers monitor participants' overall response to treatment from the start up to 3 years. They assess safety and side effects, and participants are required to be able to swallow oral medication and have a performance status that allows them to participate. The study includes regular evaluations to determine how well the treatment controls the disease and to track any adverse events over the course of the study periods.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of a combination treatment including adagrasib, pembrolizumab, and platinum-doublet chemotherapy compared to a placebo combined with pembrolizumab and platinum-doublet chemotherapy. This study focuses on adults with previously untreated, locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a KRAS G12C mutation. The trial is a randomized, double-blind, phase 3 study designed to provide insights into treatment options for this specific lung cancer type. Participants receive either adagrasib plus pembrolizumab alongside platinum-doublet chemotherapy drugs such as carboplatin or cisplatin and pemetrexed, or they receive a placebo plus pembrolizumab and the same chemotherapy regimen. The dosages and schedules of these drugs are specified and administered on predetermined days. The trial compares these two treatment groups to understand better the impact of adding adagrasib to the existing pembrolizumab and chemotherapy treatment. Throughout the study, participants are closely monitored for progression-free survival and overall survival, assessed up to seven years using standardized criteria for tumor response. Regular imaging scans such as CT or MRI are used to measure disease status. Safety and tolerability are also evaluated during the study, with ongoing assessments to track adverse effects and treatment response. The total duration of follow-up allows for long-term observation of treatment outcomes and participant health.

Researchers are evaluating LY3537021, a drug given by injection, to see how well it controls nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy in adults with cancer. This Phase 2 study compares LY3537021 to a placebo while participants also receive standard anti-nausea treatments. The study aims to understand the safety and effectiveness of LY3537021 during the period 24 to 120 hours after chemotherapy starts. Participants will receive chemotherapy drugs such as cisplatin or anthracycline with cyclophosphamide through an intravenous line. They will be randomly assigned to get either LY3537021 or a placebo, both given by subcutaneous injection, along with standard antiemetic therapies including medications taken by mouth, IV, or skin patches. The treatment period lasts through the chemotherapy cycle. During the study, participants will be monitored for their response to the anti-nausea treatment, particularly looking at how many achieve complete control of nausea and vomiting in the delayed phase after chemotherapy. Researchers will also track safety and any side effects. The entire participation may take about two months, covering all study parts until completion.

Researchers are evaluating a new medicine called Sofetabart Mipitecan (LY4170156) in adults with certain types of ovarian, peritoneal, and fallopian tube cancers. This phase 3 study has two parts: Part A focuses on participants whose cancer no longer responds to platinum-based chemotherapy, while Part B includes those whose cancer still responds to platinum-based treatments. The study aims to compare Sofetabart Mipitecan against current standard treatments and to better understand its safety. Participants receive treatments administered through intravenous (IV) infusions. In Part A, Sofetabart Mipitecan is compared with various chemotherapy drugs or mirvetuximab soravtansine. In Part B, Sofetabart Mipitecan combined with bevacizumab is compared with platinum-based chemotherapy plus bevacizumab. Each participant's time in the study depends on how they respond to the treatment. During the study, researchers monitor participants for progression-free survival, measuring the time from randomization until cancer progression or death, for up to 70 months. Participants undergo assessments including scans to track tumor changes and evaluations of safety and side effects. The study collects tumor tissue samples and monitors participants' health status regularly to understand treatment effects and safety over time.

This is a Phase III open-label study to assess if camizestrant improves outcomes compared to standard adjuvant endocrine therapy for patients with ER+/HER2- early breast cancer with intermediate-high or high risk for disease recurrence who completed definitive locoregional therapy (with or without chemotherapy). The planned duration of treatment in either arm of the study is 7 years. Eligible patients must have intermediate-high or high risk of recurrence as defined by specified clinical and biologic criteria. Concurrent use of abemaciclib is permitted in both arms. The primary endpoint of the study is Invasive breast cancer-free survival (IBCFS) and main secondary endpoints include Invasive disease-free survival (IDFS), Distant relapse-free survival (DRFS), Overall survival (OS), Safety and Clinical Outcome Assessments (COAs). Patients will be followed for 10 years from randomization of the last patient.

Researchers are evaluating the effect of muvalaplin on reducing cardiovascular risk in adults with elevated lipoprotein(a) levels who either have atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease or are at risk for a heart attack or stroke. This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study focuses on adults with high Lp(a) levels and prior or potential cardiovascular events. The study aims to assess the time to the first major adverse cardiovascular event over about 5.25 years. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either muvalaplin or a placebo, both administered orally. The study includes individuals with Lp(a) levels of at least 175 nanomoles per liter who have had a prior cardiovascular event within 10 years or are at risk for a first event due to conditions such as coronary artery disease, carotid stenosis, peripheral artery disease, high coronary artery calcium score, reduced kidney function with diabetes, or other high-risk factors. The treatment period lasts through the study duration, with close monitoring. During the study, participants will be regularly evaluated to track the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events, including heart attacks and strokes. Safety assessments will monitor blood pressure, kidney function, and heart failure status among other health indicators. The primary outcome measures the time to the first major cardiovascular event from baseline up to the end of the study, which spans approximately 5.25 years.

Researchers are evaluating whether fluid therapy using Plasma-Lyte48 compared to 0.9% sodium chloride can increase the number of days alive and days out of hospital by day 28 for critically ill patients with moderate to severe diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) admitted to emergency departments and critical care areas. This phase 3, blinded, cluster crossover randomized controlled trial addresses the rising incidence and hospital admissions for DKA, aiming to provide definitive evidence to guide optimal fluid resuscitation. The study responds to current gaps in evidence and variability in DKA management protocols across hospitals in Australia. The trial involves 20 Australian hospitals participating in two 12-month intervention periods separated by a one-month gap. Each hospital uses either Plasma-Lyte48 or 0.9% saline as the blinded fluid therapy during the first period, then switches to the alternate fluid in the second period. Both fluids are supplied and labeled to preserve blinding, and clinicians administer the fluids based on standard clinical endpoints for up to 72 hours or until discharge from critical care. Additional treatments like glucose-containing solutions, bicarbonate, and electrolyte supplements are given as needed under clinician discretion. Participants will be monitored through the critical care stay and contacted by telephone at day 28 to assess outcomes. The main measurement is hospital-free days within 28 days after enrollment. The study also involves end-user representatives in all stages, ensuring consumer perspectives in protocol design and dissemination. This comprehensive approach aims to clarify the best fluid treatment for moderate to severe DKA and improve patient care and health outcomes.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of lunsekimig compared with a placebo in adults aged 40 to 80 years who have inadequately controlled Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) characterized by an eosinophilic phenotype. This Phase 2b/Phase 3 study focuses on patients with COPD who have specific lung function criteria, prior exacerbations, and blood eosinophil counts, aiming to better manage their condition using a new subcutaneous treatment. Eligible participants will receive subcutaneous injections of either lunsekimig or a matching placebo during a randomized intervention period lasting approximately 48 weeks. The study includes a screening period of up to 4 weeks before treatment and a follow-up period of about 8 weeks after treatment, making the total study duration up to 60 weeks. Participants remain in one of three study arms throughout this timeline. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly to measure the annualized rate of moderate-to-severe COPD exacerbations from baseline up to 48 weeks. Researchers will assess safety, tolerability, lung function, and other health outcomes. The study collects data on participants' lung function, exacerbation frequency, and blood markers, along with adherence to treatment and safety follow-up over the entire study period.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term effects of lidocaine infusions given during and after surgery on the development of moderate or severe chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) one year after breast cancer surgery in adult female patients. This Phase 3, international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involves more than 4,000 participants undergoing mastectomy or breast conserving surgery. The study aims to detect a 25% reduction in CPSP incidence and also assesses safety, pain relief effectiveness, neuropathic pain characteristics, psychological well-being, and quality of life. Participants receive either a lidocaine infusion or a placebo infusion starting with an intravenous bolus after anesthesia induction, followed by continuous intravenous infusion during surgery. After surgery, a subcutaneous lidocaine or placebo infusion is continued for up to 24 hours. Dosages are based on lean body weight and capped at 68 kg. Patients undergoing day-case surgery receive only the intraoperative bolus and infusion without the postoperative infusion. Throughout the study, patient pain levels, opioid use, safety events, neuropathic pain symptoms, psychological status, and quality of life are closely monitored. The primary outcome is the patient-reported incidence of moderate or severe CPSP one year after surgery. Data collection includes follow-up visits and assessments to track both short-term and long-term effects of the treatments.

This research aims to evaluate whether lowering blood phosphate levels in people with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) who are on dialysis can reduce the risk of death or major heart-related events compared to maintaining higher phosphate levels. The study also looks at whether lowering phosphate improves physical health, fatigue, quality of life, patient satisfaction, and itching, as well as whether it is cost-effective. Hyperphosphatemia, or high phosphate in the blood, is common in ESKD and linked to higher death risk, but there is no strong trial evidence that lowering phosphate improves important patient outcomes. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: an intensive phosphate target group aiming to keep serum phosphate at or below 1.50 mmol/L using phosphate-lowering medications, or a liberal phosphate target group aiming for a higher phosphate range of 2.0 to 2.5 mmol/L. In the liberal group, all phosphate-lowering drugs at baseline will be stopped and only restarted if phosphate rises above 2.5 mmol/L. Medication choice and doses will be based on physicians' and participants' decisions to meet target levels. The trial is multinational and will include 3600 adults on dialysis. During the study, researchers will track major outcomes including cardiovascular death or serious heart and artery events over 5 years. They will also assess physical health, quality of life using the EQ5D-5L questionnaire, fatigue, itching, and overall survival. The study involves monitoring serum phosphate levels and medication use, and measuring cost-effectiveness of the treatment strategies. Participants will be followed closely to understand the safety and impact of the phosphate targets on their health and well-being.
