Researchers are evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of two dosing regimens of itepekimab compared to placebo as an add-on treatment to intranasal corticosteroids in adult men and women with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). This multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study includes participants aged 18 years and older who have inadequately controlled CRSwNP. The study aims to better understand how these treatments impact nasal polyp symptoms and disease control over a one-year period. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of two dosing regimens of itepekimab or a placebo, all administered by subcutaneous injection. All participants will continue using mometasone furoate nasal spray as standard intranasal corticosteroid therapy. Treatment will last up to 52 weeks, followed by a 20-week safety follow-up period. The study includes a total of 9 site visits and 20 phone or home visits during the participant's involvement. Participants will be involved in regular assessments including endoscopic nasal polyp scoring and nasal congestion symptom evaluations at baseline and throughout the 24 weeks, among other time points. Researchers will monitor changes in nasal polyp scores and nasal congestion scores to measure the treatment effects. Safety and tolerability will be closely followed during the treatment and safety follow-up periods, with total participation lasting up to 76 weeks for most participants, or 56 weeks for those transitioning to an extension study.

Researchers are evaluating AZD0780, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor, in a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study to see if it can reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE-PLUS) in adults with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or those at high risk for a first ASCVD event. The study compares AZD0780 to a placebo and monitors participants from randomization until the primary analysis censoring date, followed by a final study closure visit. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either oral AZD0780 or an oral placebo once daily. The treatment period lasts until the primary analysis censoring date, after which a study closure visit will occur. The study is event-driven and designed to assess the time to the first major cardiovascular event during treatment. During the study, participants will be closely monitored with various assessments to evaluate cardiovascular outcomes and safety over approximately 54 months. Researchers will track the time to first event of any component of MACE-PLUS and collect data to assess the effect of AZD0780 compared to placebo. The study includes regular visits and evaluations to ensure participant safety and adherence to treatment.

Researchers are evaluating whether baricitinib can delay the onset of clinical stage 3 type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children and adults at high risk of developing the disease. This phase 3, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study includes participants aged 1 to under 36 years who have early stages of T1D or multiple diabetes-related autoantibodies indicating increased risk. The study aims to measure the time from the start of the trial to diagnosis of stage 3 type 1 diabetes, with participation lasting up to approximately 5 years. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either baricitinib or a placebo, both administered orally. The trial compares these two groups to assess the impact of baricitinib on delaying progression to stage 3 T1D. The study's design includes careful monitoring of participants over time to evaluate the effects of the medication or placebo on disease development. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments to detect the progression of diabetes, including laboratory tests for autoantibodies and clinical evaluations. Researchers will track the time it takes for participants to develop stage 3 T1D, along with monitoring safety and any adverse effects. The total duration of participation can be up to 5 years, ensuring thorough observation of long-term outcomes related to the study interventions.

Researchers are studying whether baricitinib can help preserve beta-cell function in children and adults newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. This Phase 3 trial focuses on participants aged 1 to less than 36 years who have recently been diagnosed with this condition. The goal is to understand if baricitinib, compared to a placebo, can maintain insulin-producing cell activity. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either baricitinib or a placebo, both given orally. The study is double-blind, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives the active drug or placebo. Treatment and observation will continue for about 60 weeks. During the study, participants will undergo evaluations including measuring C-peptide levels to assess beta-cell function at the start and after 52 weeks. Researchers will monitor health status, collect laboratory tests, and track any side effects or changes in diabetes-related markers to determine the effects of baricitinib over the study period.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of brenipatide when given along with standard care compared to a placebo with standard care in adults with bipolar disorder. This Phase 2 study aims to see if brenipatide can delay the worsening of bipolar symptoms. The trial includes participants aged 18 to 75 years and involves a careful assessment of how well the treatment works and its safety profile. The trial has three main periods: a screening period lasting about one month, a treatment period of at least six months, and a follow-up period of around two months. Participants receive either brenipatide or placebo, both given by subcutaneous injection, alongside their usual bipolar disorder medications. The study may end earlier if symptoms worsen or if participants withdraw for any reason. Participants will be asked to self-inject the study medication, maintain diaries, complete questionnaires, and attend regular visits throughout the study. Researchers will monitor the time to relapse, defined as the number of days from randomization until symptoms worsen according to specific criteria, over at least six months. Safety and adherence to treatment will also be closely observed during the study.

Researchers are studying the safety and effectiveness of brenipatide, given alongside standard treatment, compared to a placebo with standard treatment, to see if it can delay the return of symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder. This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind study involving adult participants aged 18 to 75 years. The trial is designed to assess how long it takes for depression symptoms to relapse after starting the adjunctive treatment. Participants will receive either brenipatide or placebo, both administered by subcutaneous injection, in addition to their stable standard of care medication. The study has three main periods: a screening period lasting about one month, followed by a treatment phase of at least 12 months where participants receive the assigned injections, and finally a follow-up period of roughly two months. The total time in the study can be shorter if symptoms worsen or if a participant withdraws. During the trial, participants will need to attend scheduled visits, self-inject the study drug, maintain study diaries, and complete questionnaires. Researchers will monitor participants closely to determine the time until relapse of major depressive disorder symptoms occurs. Safety and adherence to study procedures will be tracked throughout the trial, with the primary outcome measuring the number of days from randomization until relapse.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of eloralintide, a drug given by injection, in adults who are obese or overweight but do not have type 2 diabetes. This Phase 3 study includes both a main phase and an extension phase to understand the drug's impact on body weight and overall health in this population. The study aims to compare eloralintide with a placebo to see how well it works in reducing weight. Participants will receive either eloralintide or a placebo, both administered under the skin once a week. The main study phase will last about 75 weeks, during which participants will be regularly monitored. Those participants who have prediabetes will have the option to continue into an extension phase lasting an additional 2 years to further assess long-term effects. During the study, participants will have their body weight measured at the start and throughout the trial, with the primary outcome being the percent change in body weight at week 64 compared to baseline. Researchers will also monitor safety and any side effects. Participants will be asked about their weight history and health conditions, and they must maintain stable body weight before joining. The total involvement time for most participants will be about 75 weeks, with longer follow-up for some.

This research aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of eloralintide in adults with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea who are also obese or overweight. The study is organized under a master protocol called YDAO, which supports two separate studies: YSA1 for participants who are unable or unwilling to use Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) therapy, and YSA2 for those who have been using PAP therapy for at least three months and intend to continue it during the study. This is a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial focused on this specific population. Participants will receive either eloralintide or a placebo, both given by subcutaneous injection once weekly. They will be assigned to one of two groups based on their current PAP therapy use: those not using PAP (YSA1) and those continuing PAP (YSA2). The study treatment and observation will last about 76 weeks, allowing detailed evaluation over time. During the study, participants will undergo assessments including polysomnography to measure the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and body weight changes from baseline to week 64. Researchers will monitor weight, sleep apnea severity, and safety throughout the trial. The long participation period includes screening, treatment, and follow-up to capture comprehensive data on eloralintide’s effects and tolerability.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of the drug orforglipron compared with a placebo on cardiovascular outcomes in adults who have atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and/or chronic kidney disease (CKD). This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to investigate major adverse cardiovascular events over a long period. Participants will receive either orforglipron or a placebo orally. The study is event-driven and will continue until the occurrence of major cardiovascular events or up to about 5 years. The treatments are administered without revealing to participants which group they are in to ensure unbiased results. During the study, participants will be monitored for the time to the first occurrence of a major cardiovascular event. Researchers will collect data from baseline through the end of the study, which lasts approximately 5 years. Regular assessments will help evaluate the safety and effects of the treatments on cardiovascular health in this population.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of brenipatide at different doses compared with a placebo in adults with uncontrolled moderate to severe asthma. This Phase 2 study focuses on participants who have a history of asthma requiring controller medication and recent severe asthma exacerbations. The goal is to better understand how brenipatide impacts asthma control over an extended period. Participants will receive either brenipatide or a placebo, both administered by subcutaneous injection. The study includes a 52-week treatment period during which the effects of the drug on asthma exacerbations and symptoms will be monitored. This randomized, double-blind approach helps compare the responses between the treatment and placebo groups. Study involvement lasts about 65 weeks, covering screening, treatment, and follow-up phases. During the study, researchers will assess participants' asthma control using questionnaires and track the annual rate of asthma exacerbations. Safety and treatment responses will be closely monitored throughout the trial to evaluate the drug's impact and participant well-being.
