Researchers are investigating the use of Trastuzumab deruxtecan T-DXd in adults with unresectable or metastatic HER2-low and HER2-ultralow breast cancer. This includes patients who have previously received chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer or have hormone receptor-positive disease treated with endocrine therapy but are unsuitable for further endocrine treatment. The study aims to understand treatment effectiveness, patient characteristics, and experiences in a real-world setting through a non-interventional approach. Participants will be observed while receiving either T-DXd or conventional chemotherapy as part of their routine care, without any drug administration by the study itself. The study includes two groups one with patients having HER2-low breast cancer treated with T-DXd after prior chemotherapy, and another with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-low or HER2-ultralow breast cancer patients treated with either T-DXd or conventional chemotherapy but not prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease. Data will be collected on treatments, side effects, and management of adverse drug reactions. During the study, participants demographic and clinical data, treatment patterns, tolerability, and quality of life will be monitored over approximately 37 months. Assessments include the time to next treatment, treatment discontinuation, physician-reported safety events, patient-reported tolerability, quality of life questionnaires, and symptom diaries. This long-term observation will help evaluate real-world outcomes and patient experiences with T-DXd and conventional chemotherapy in this population.

Researchers are conducting a global registry to monitor the long-term safety and effectiveness of Increlex therapy in children and adolescents with Severe Primary Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Deficiency SPIGFD. This observational, non-interventional registry collects data from multiple countries including Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the USA. The main goal is to gather safety information during treatment and for at least five years after treatment ends. The registry includes participants who are starting, planning to start, or already receiving Increlex treatment as per local prescribing information. Increlex mecasermin is given as an injection with doses ranging from 40 to 120 mcgkg twice daily, prescribed by a physician. Data may be collected retrospectively for those already on treatment. The study tracks participants over long periods to observe treatment exposure, dose, and various health outcomes related to growth and development. Participants will be monitored for adverse events, including serious events and neoplasia, during treatment and up to five years afterward. Researchers will also assess changes in height, bone age, body mass index, pubertal stage, and quality of life. Biological markers like growth hormone and IGF-1 levels will be measured periodically. The registry collects comprehensive data on safety, effectiveness, and other health indicators to better understand outcomes in children and adolescents receiving Increlex therapy.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of balcinrenone combined with dapagliflozin compared to dapagliflozin alone in patients who have chronic heart failure, impaired kidney function, and have recently experienced a heart failure event. This Phase III study is conducted internationally across about 700 sites and aims to assess how these treatments impact cardiovascular death and heart failure events. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups balcinrenonedapagliflozin 15 mg10 mg plus placebo, balcinrenonedapagliflozin 40 mg10 mg plus placebo, or dapagliflozin 10 mg plus placebo. Each participant will take one capsule and one tablet daily. The study duration averages 22 months, including screening, about 20 months of blinded treatment, and a one-month follow-up with open-label dapagliflozin. During the study, participants will undergo assessments for heart failure events, hospitalizations, and cardiovascular death. Researchers will monitor these outcomes over about 38 months, including symptom scores and other health measures. Safety and treatment effects will be followed during the treatment and the one-month post-treatment period.
