Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of three different dose regimens of MORF-057, a small molecule drug, in adults with moderately to severely active Crohns disease CD. This Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study aims to compare these doses with a matching placebo during an induction treatment period. The study includes adult participants who have active symptoms of CD and have not adequately responded to other treatments. Participants will first undergo a 14-week induction period where they receive either one of the three blinded MORF-057 dose regimens or a matching placebo, all taken orally. Following this, all participants enter a 38-week maintenance period receiving open-label MORF-057. Those who complete this 52-week treatment phase may have the chance to continue treatment for an additional 52 weeks during a long-term extension. MORF-057 is designed to selectively inhibit integrin 47. During the study, participants will have their disease activity monitored using endoscopic assessments and clinical symptom scores, such as the Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohns Disease SES-CD and the Crohns Disease Activity Index CDAI. Researchers will assess the proportion of participants showing endoscopic response and clinical remission at Week 14. Safety and adherence will be closely followed throughout the treatment and extension phases. The entire study spans up to 6 years, allowing for long-term evaluation.

Researchers are evaluating the pharmacokinetics PK, safety, and tolerability of aumolertinib in European adults diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has specific activating mutations in the EGFR gene. This Phase 1, open-label, multicenter study focuses on participants whose tumors have mutations such as ex19del, L858R, or T790M. The goal is to better understand how aumolertinib and its metabolites behave in the body and their safety profile in this population. Participants receive aumolertinib orally at a dose of 110 mg once daily under fasting conditions in 21-day treatment cycles. The study has two parts Part A involves detailed PK assessments with visits for blood sampling on specific days within the first two treatment cycles to analyze drug levels. Part B allows participants to continue aumolertinib treatment beyond Cycle 2 until disease progression, intolerable side effects, or other discontinuation reasons determined by the investigator. During the study, participants will undergo safety evaluations and tumor assessments according to clinical needs. Blood samples for PK analysis are collected at multiple time points during the early treatment cycles. After stopping treatment, participants will have an End of Treatment visit within 7 days and a safety follow-up visit approximately 28 days after the last dose. The primary outcomes include measuring drug concentration peaks and exposure over 24 hours, while secondary outcomes focus on adverse events throughout the study, which may last about 18 months on average.

Researchers are evaluating MB12, a proposed pembrolizumab biosimilar, compared to Keytruda in combination with pemetrexed-platinum chemotherapy as the first treatment for patients with advanced metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC. This randomized, double-blind, multicenter study aims to compare the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, safety, and immune response of MB12 and Keytruda in this patient population. Participants will be assigned to one of three groups MB12 with pemetrexed and carboplatin or cisplatin, European Union-sourced Keytruda with the same chemotherapy, or US-sourced Keytruda with the same chemotherapy. MB12 and Keytruda are given intravenously at 200mg every three weeks on Day 1. Pemetrexed is given at 500 mgm2 IV every three weeks on Day 1, while carboplatin or cisplatin is administered every three weeks for four cycles. During the study, participants will be monitored from Week 1 to Week 52 for drug levels in the body, treatment effectiveness, safety, and immune response. Key assessments include measuring pharmacokinetic bioequivalence and efficacy equivalence within the first 24 weeks, along with longer-term safety and immune monitoring. The study is led by mAbxience Research S.L. and is expected to continue until September 2027.

Researchers are evaluating the pharmacokinetics PK and safety of subcutaneous SC ublituximab in people with relapsing multiple sclerosis RMS. The study aims to compare how ublituximab is absorbed and tolerated when injected at different sites on the body and when administered using either a prefilled pen device or a syringe. This Phase 2 trial involves adult participants with RMS who meet specific neurological stability and disability criteria. Participants will receive ublituximab SC either by syringe at one of three injection sites or by randomized assignment to receive the drug with either a prefilled pen or a syringe. The study evaluates the relative bioavailability of ublituximab delivered by these two methods over a planned treatment period extending up to 120 weeks, with key assessments occurring up to 12 weeks and beyond. During the study, participants will undergo plasma concentration measurements of ublituximab at various time points to determine drug levels and steady state exposure. Safety will be monitored through tracking treatment-emergent adverse events throughout the study. Participant satisfaction with the SC administration method will also be assessed. This long-term study may involve multiple visits for drug administration, monitoring, and questionnaires, continuing for up to five years.
