Researchers are studying whether combining calderasib, a targeted therapy for the KRAS G12C mutation, with subcutaneous pembrolizumab can treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study aims to determine if people receiving calderasib with pembrolizumab live longer without their cancer growing or spreading compared to those receiving pembrolizumab with chemotherapy. This is a phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter clinical trial focusing on participants with advanced or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC carrying the KRAS G12C mutation. Participants will receive one of two treatment combinations. One group will take calderasib orally along with subcutaneous pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa injections. The other group will receive subcutaneous pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy drugs pemetrexed and a platinum-based drug, either carboplatin or cisplatin, administered by intravenous infusion. These treatments are given as first-line therapy, and the study evaluates their safety and effectiveness. During the study, researchers will monitor participants for progression-free survival, especially focusing on those with at least 1% PD-L1 tumor proportion score, for up to approximately 48 months. Participants will undergo regular assessments to track cancer progression and response to treatment. Safety and efficacy data will be collected throughout the study to understand how well the treatments work and their side effects over time.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab as first-line treatments for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) whose tumors have high PD-L1 expression. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, and global study focuses on participants with stage IV mNSCLC who do not have certain genetic mutations or rearrangements and are eligible for systemic therapy. Participants receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. The study compares these two biological treatments given as monotherapy. Both groups will be monitored over time to assess treatment impact and safety. Throughout the study, participants undergo evaluations including tumor measurements by CT or MRI, performance status assessments, and organ function tests. Researchers will measure overall survival and progression-free survival for up to approximately five years. Tumor samples are collected before treatment for central testing, and participants’ health and treatment responses are closely followed during the trial period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of combining durvalumab and domvanalimab compared to durvalumab plus placebo in adults with locally advanced (Stage III), unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease has not worsened after definitive platinum-based concurrent chemoradiation therapy. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, international study involves multiple centers. Participants receive intravenous infusions of durvalumab and domvanalimab or durvalumab and placebo. The treatments are given after patients have completed concurrent platinum-based chemotherapy and radiation therapy with a total radiation dose of approximately 60 Gy. The study monitors patients over time to assess treatment effects and safety. During the study, participants undergo evaluations including tumor tissue analysis for PD-L1 status, performance status assessments, and monitoring of organ and marrow function. The main outcome measured is progression-free survival up to 8 years after randomization. Researchers also monitor for any adverse effects and disease progression throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of three different doses of MORF-057 in adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD). This Phase 2 study is randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and conducted at multiple centers. It aims to compare MORF-057 to placebo to see how well it works in reducing disease activity and symptoms in this patient population. Participants will first go through a 14-week induction period where they receive one of three doses of MORF-057 or a matching placebo, all given orally. After this, all participants will enter a 38-week maintenance phase where they receive open-label MORF-057. Those who complete these 52 weeks of treatment may continue in a 52-week long-term extension to further monitor treatment effects and safety. Throughout the study, participants will have evaluations to assess their response to treatment using endoscopic scoring at Week 14. Researchers will monitor safety, symptom changes, and disease activity over the full treatment and extension periods. Study visits will include assessments, questionnaires, and clinical monitoring to track participants' health and treatment adherence over time.

Researchers are evaluating how well oral icotrokinra works, its safety, and how well patients tolerate it in adults and adolescents with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis, a chronic condition where the colon lining becomes inflamed and develops ulcers. This is a Phase 3 study aimed at finding effective treatments for this condition using a rigorous comparison. Participants will receive either icotrokinra tablets or placebo tablets taken by mouth. The study includes an induction phase and a maintenance phase, with adults participating in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design, while adolescents join an open-label maintenance study. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor clinical remission rates at 12 weeks during induction and at 40 weeks during maintenance. Participants will undergo assessments including endoscopic evaluations and pregnancy tests for females of childbearing potential. Safety and tolerability will be closely observed, with the total study duration covering both induction and maintenance periods.

Researchers are evaluating the effect of a triple therapy inhaler called BGF MDI containing budesonide, glycopyrronium, and formoterol fumarate compared with a dual therapy inhaler called GFF MDI containing glycopyrronium and formoterol fumarate in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) who have a higher risk of heart and lung problems. This Phase III randomized, double-blind, parallel group study takes place at multiple centers and focuses on cardiopulmonary outcomes in these patients. Participants receive either the BGF MDI 320/14.4/9.6 micrograms twice daily or the GFF MDI 14.4/9.6 micrograms twice daily. The treatments are inhaled using metered dose inhalers. The study compares these two therapies over time to see how they affect the time until the first severe heart or lung event occurs. The study design ensures that neither participants nor researchers know which treatment is given to reduce bias. During the study, participants will have regular visits to the study site or virtual visits to complete assessments. Researchers will monitor lung function, symptoms, and blood tests, including blood eosinophil counts and COPD assessment test scores. The main outcome measured is the time to the first severe cardiac or COPD event, with follow-up lasting up to three years. Safety and adherence to treatment will also be closely observed throughout the study period.

This research focuses on men with prostate cancer who have previously participated in an enzalutamide clinical study sponsored by Astellas or Medivation. It aims to gather long-term safety information from participants who continue to benefit from enzalutamide treatment. This is a Phase 2 open-label extension study designed to monitor ongoing treatment effects after the initial study has completed its primary analysis or evaluation period. Participants will continue their previous treatment regimens, which may include enzalutamide taken orally once daily. Some may also receive abiraterone acetate with prednisone or leuprolide acetate depending on their prior study enrollment. Dose adjustments are allowed with medical monitor approval. The first visit of this study should occur within seven days of the last visit of the prior study unless treatment is temporarily paused. Participants are asked to return to their study site every 24 weeks for safety reviews, including adverse event monitoring and medication checks. At visits every 12 weeks, participants return unused study drugs and receive new supplies if needed. Safety data, including all adverse events and serious adverse events, are collected from consent until study completion, which may last up to 96 months. The study follows local standard care guidelines and includes a post-marketing phase in South Korea.

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 how well elritercept (TAK-226, KER-050) works in reducing the need for red blood cell (RBC) transfusions in adults with very low, low, or intermediate risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) who require regular blood transfusions. The study is a Phase 3, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial that also aims to assess the safety and tolerability of elritercept over both short and longer periods, including in adults with high transfusion needs. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive either elritercept or a matching placebo by subcutaneous injection every 4 weeks. The study includes a Primary Phase lasting 24 weeks and a Secondary Phase lasting an additional 24 weeks, during which participants continue the same treatment. Following these phases, an Extension Phase allows eligible participants to continue treatment until discontinuation or study unblinding. Study visits occur every 2 weeks during the first 6 cycles and every 4 weeks thereafter. Treatment continuation depends on meeting disease assessment criteria every 24 weeks. Participants will undergo various assessments including bone marrow aspirates, transfusion evaluations, and disease status checks throughout the study. Safety follow-up lasts for 8 weeks after the last dose, with visits every 4 weeks during this time. Afterward, long-term follow-up occurs quarterly for up to 5 years or until withdrawal, death, loss to follow-up, or study closure. The main outcome measured is the percentage of participants achieving transfusion independence for at least 8 weeks during the first 24 weeks of treatment.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of adding LY3537982 (olomorasib) to standard anti-cancer drugs compared to standard treatment alone in participants with untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a specific KRAS G12C gene mutation. This pivotal Phase 3 trial includes participants with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC and considers their programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression levels. The study includes multiple parts: Dose Optimization, Part A, and Part B are randomized, while Safety Lead-In for Part B and Part C are non-randomized. Treatments being assessed include LY3537982 taken orally, pembrolizumab administered intravenously, and standard chemotherapy drugs such as cisplatin, carboplatin, and pemetrexed given intravenously. Participants receive these treatments according to their assigned groups based on their PD-L1 expression and tumor histology. Participants will be monitored with regular assessments including measuring disease progression, safety evaluations, and treatment emergent adverse events for up to approximately one year, with overall study participation potentially lasting up to three years depending on individual response and health status. Outcome measures focus on progression-free survival and safety, capturing any adverse events from the start of treatment until disease progression or death.
