Researchers are investigating new treatments for metastatic cervical cancer, which is cancer that has spread beyond the cervix, the lower part of the uterus. This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of the antibody drug conjugate sacituzumab tirumotecan sac-TMT combined with pembrolizumab and bevacizumab. The goal is to find out if these treatments, given together or with some variations, help patients live longer or delay cancer progression compared to standard care. The study has two parts. In Part 1, participants receive sac-TMT, pembrolizumab, and bevacizumab together to assess safety. In Part 2, all participants first get standard induction treatment with pembrolizumab, paclitaxel, and cisplatin or carboplatin, possibly with bevacizumab. Those whose cancer does not worsen then enter maintenance treatment, where they are randomly assigned to receive either pembrolizumab alone or sac-TMT plus pembrolizumab, with optional bevacizumab. Participants are involved for up to about 20 months during maintenance treatment after up to 4 months of induction. The study monitors safety by tracking side effects and treatment discontinuations. Effectiveness is measured by progression-free survival and overall survival up to several years. Quality of life and physical functioning are also assessed through questionnaires. Treatments and evaluations occur through regular intravenous infusions and periodic monitoring visits.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for high-risk, early-stage breast cancer, specifically targeting two types triple-negative breast cancer TNBC and hormone receptor-low positiveHER2-negative breast cancer. These cancers are characterized by low or no HER2 protein and low hormone receptor presence. The study aims to evaluate if adding sacituzumab tirumotecan sac-TMT to pembrolizumab and chemotherapy can better reduce cancer cells in tumors and lymph nodes and improve the length of time patients live without cancer progression compared to pembrolizumab with chemotherapy alone. Participants in this trial receive one of two treatment plans. One group gets sacituzumab tirumotecan intravenously every two weeks plus pembrolizumab every three weeks for 12 weeks, followed by pembrolizumab with carboplatin and paclitaxel for another 12 weeks. After 3 to 6 weeks, surgery and optional radiation therapy take place, followed by pembrolizumab for about 28 weeks. Participants with remaining disease may receive additional treatments chosen by their doctors, including olaparib, capecitabine, doxorubicin, epirubicin, or cyclophosphamide. The other group receives chemotherapy drugs carboplatin and paclitaxel with pembrolizumab initially, then pembrolizumab with cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin or epirubicin, followed by surgery, optional radiation, and pembrolizumab for about 28 weeks, with similar additional options for residual disease. During the study, participants undergo core needle biopsies, receive intravenous infusions of study drugs, and have surgery and possible radiation therapy. Researchers assess outcomes such as the percentage of participants with no detectable cancer cells at surgery pathological complete response, event-free survival up to about 92 months, and overall survival up to nearly 10 years. Quality of life and side effects are monitored through questionnaires and adverse event tracking. The study lasts several years, with various assessments throughout treatment and follow-up periods to gather comprehensive data on treatment effects and safety.

Researchers are studying people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis IPF or progressive pulmonary fibrosis PPF who have previously taken nerandomilast in another study. The aim is to assess how well patients tolerate long-term treatment with nerandomilast and to evaluate whether it improves lung function and delays worsening symptoms, hospital visits, or death. This open-label extension trial is sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim and focuses on treatment over an extended period. Participants take nerandomilast tablets for up to 1 year and 10 months while continuing their usual pulmonary fibrosis treatments. The study involves a single treatment group receiving the drug, and no placebo or comparison groups. Regular visits with doctors help monitor health and collect data during this extended treatment phase. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular lung function tests and health assessments to track any adverse events and changes in lung capacity. The main outcome measured is the occurrence of any adverse events for up to about 99 weeks. Secondary outcomes include changes in forced vital capacity and time to worsening of disease symptoms or hospitalization. The study includes ongoing safety monitoring with a total participation time of up to nearly two years.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety of subcutaneous guselkumab injections in children with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis, Crohns disease, or juvenile psoriatic arthritis. This Phase 3 study focuses on pediatric participants who have previously been treated with guselkumab and will continue therapy in this extension study to monitor safety over an extended period. Participants who completed dosing in one of three primary pediatric guselkumab studies and are deemed by their investigator to benefit from continued treatment will join this long-term extension. Guselkumab is administered as a subcutaneous injection either every 8 weeks or every 4 weeks, depending on prior study assignment and clinical status. Some participants may switch dosing frequency once during the extension before unblinding, after which dosing aligns with their original regimen. Dose adjustments are restricted based on the primary study they came from. During the study, participants will receive guselkumab injections regularly and be monitored for treatment-emergent adverse events for up to nearly seven years. Researchers will assess safety outcomes through ongoing clinical evaluations over this time. Parents or legal representatives provide consent for children to participate, and children capable of understanding the study will give assent. The total participation duration may extend up to six years and nine months, allowing long-term safety data collection.

This research aims to evaluate elafibranor, a study drug, compared to a placebo in adults with Primary Biliary Cholangitis PBC and cirrhosis, a liver disease causing bile duct damage and scarring. The trial focuses on whether elafibranor can better prevent worsening of the disease, including progression leading to liver transplant or death, and also assesses long-term safety and symptom impact such as itching and tiredness. Participants will be randomly assigned to take either an 80 mg tablet of elafibranor or a matching placebo tablet once daily, orally, with or without food. This double-blind treatment period can last up to 3.5 years for each participant, with tablets taken at approximately the same time each morning. The study is designed to compare these two groups over the long term. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including physical exams, vital signs, electrocardiograms, laboratory tests, and symptom questionnaires at intervals up to 3.5 years. Researchers will measure liver function tests, symptom scales, liver stiffness, and clinical outcomes related to disease progression. Safety is monitored through adverse event tracking and laboratory parameters, with follow-up extending to four weeks after the last dose. Overall participation may last up to 3.5 years.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term effects of mirikizumab treatment in children and teenagers aged 2 to 19 years with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis or Crohns disease. This phase 3 study aims to assess the clinical remission rates and other health outcomes related to these conditions over an extended period. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and follows a treatment focus for pediatric participants with these inflammatory bowel diseases. Participants receive mirikizumab administered by subcutaneous injections, with doses adjusted based on their weight. There are up to six planned doses, and if needed, intravenous rescue dosing is available if a participants condition worsens. The study may include a continued access period providing additional treatment beyond the main study duration. Participants are involved for about 172 weeks, attending up to 44 visits throughout the study. Regular assessments include evaluating clinical remission using the Modified Mayo Score for ulcerative colitis and the Pediatric Crohns Disease Activity Index for Crohns disease, along with other response and remission measures. Researchers monitor laboratory tests such as C-reactive protein levels and track corticosteroid use. Safety and health status are closely observed during the study and any continued treatment periods.

Researchers are evaluating whether retatrutide and tirzepatide can prevent major adverse liver outcomes in adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease MASLD who are at high risk based on non-invasive tests. This Phase 3 randomized controlled trial aims to assess these treatments compared to placebo in about 4,500 adults over approximately 224 weeks. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and focuses on liver disease progression and related health measures. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive retatrutide, tirzepatide, or placebo, all administered by subcutaneous injection. The trial includes two placebo groups corresponding to each experimental drug. After completing the main study, eligible participants may join a 2-year extension where all will receive either retatrutide or tirzepatide regardless of their initial assignment. During the study, participants may attend around 25 to 30 clinic visits for health monitoring, study procedures, and assessments of liver function and disease status. Researchers will measure the time to major adverse liver outcomes, changes in liver fibrosis scores, liver stiffness, liver fat content, liver enzyme levels, body weight, and cardiovascular events. Monitoring will continue from baseline through study completion, with detailed evaluations at multiple timepoints including week 104.

Researchers are evaluating AZD0780, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor, in a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study. This trial focuses on patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ASCVD or those at high risk for a first ASCVD event. The study aims to assess how AZD0780 compares to placebo in reducing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, also known as MACE-PLUS, over the course of the trial. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either oral AZD0780 once daily or a matching placebo once daily. The study continues until a primary analysis censoring date, which may be up to approximately 54 months from randomization. After this, a study closure visit will be conducted as the final visit for each participant. During the study, participants will be regularly monitored for cardiovascular events including heart attacks, strokes, urgent coronary revascularizations, and other related outcomes. Researchers will track the time to first occurrence of these events as the primary outcome. Safety and other secondary outcomes like all-cause mortality will also be assessed. The total participation time can last up to about 54 months, with ongoing evaluations throughout this period.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of Datopotamab Deruxtecan Dato-DXd with or without Durvalumab compared to investigators choice chemotherapy combined with Pembrolizumab in patients with PD-L1 positive locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer TNBC. This Phase III, randomized, open-label, international study aims to determine if Dato-DXd with Durvalumab can improve progression-free survival and overall survival while assessing quality of life impacts in this patient population. Participants are assigned to one of three groups Dato-DXd with Durvalumab, investigators choice chemotherapy paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, or gemcitabine plus carboplatin combined with Pembrolizumab, or Dato-DXd alone. All study drugs are given by intravenous infusion. The study includes stratification by geographic region, disease-free interval, and prior PD-1PD-L1 treatment. Treatment continues with monitoring up to about 33 months for progression-free survival and safety, with some outcomes followed up to 64 months. Throughout the study, participants undergo assessments including imaging to measure tumor response using RECIST criteria, laboratory tests, and questionnaires to evaluate symptoms and quality of life. Researchers monitor time to disease progression, overall survival, response duration, and safety outcomes. Follow-up includes evaluation of subsequent therapies and pharmacokinetics. The total participation duration can be up to several years to capture long-term outcomes.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of a new medicine called NNC0487-0111 in people who have Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction HFpEF or Heart Failure with mildly reduced Ejection Fraction HFmrEF and excess body weight. This phase 3 clinical trial aims to find out if NNC0487-0111 is safe and effective for treating these conditions compared to a placebo. Participants have HFpEF or HFmrEF and a body mass index of 30 or above. The study is sponsored by Novo Nordisk AS and uses a randomized, quadruple-masked design. Participants will receive either NNC0487-0111 or a matching placebo by injection under the skin once a week. The NNC0487-0111 is given in increasing doses over time. The study is parallel in design, meaning participants are randomly assigned to one of the two groups and receive that treatment throughout the trial. This treatment period extends for up to about 165 weeks. The study evaluates the time to certain heart failure events, hospitalizations, cardiovascular deaths, and other major cardiovascular events. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly to assess heart failure outcomes and kidney function, as well as quality of life using questionnaires like the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire. Safety and effectiveness are assessed through hospital visits, heart failure event tracking, and blood tests including kidney function and blood sugar levels. The total participation spans over three years, with ongoing evaluations to measure the time to heart failure events and cardiovascular outcomes. Participants receive close medical monitoring throughout the study period.
