Researchers are investigating the long-term safety and effectiveness of APG777, a treatment for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD), in patients who have already completed an initial APG777 study. This phase 2, multicenter, double-blind study focuses on those who may benefit from extended treatment with APG777 to better understand its ongoing effects and safety over time. The study includes three main periods: a screening visit that occurs at the end of the previous study's maintenance period, an extended treatment period where participants receive APG777 subcutaneous injections every 12 or 24 weeks, and a post-treatment follow-up period. Participants will continue using their chosen non-medicated moisturizer from the previous study throughout this extension. During the study, participants' health and response to treatment will be closely monitored, including tracking any treatment-emergent adverse events for up to three years. Researchers will assess the long-term safety and efficacy of APG777 while ensuring participants remain compliant with study protocols. This ongoing observation aims to provide detailed information on how APG777 affects patients over extended use.

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.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of two doses of inhaled pirfenidone (called AP01) compared to a placebo in people with progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF). This Phase 2b study is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, involving up to 300 participants who will continue their standard care during the 52-week trial. The goal is to see how well AP01 works and how safe it is when added to usual treatments for PPF. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: high-dose AP01, low-dose AP01, or placebo. All treatments are given as an oral inhalation solution twice daily. The study will last for 52 weeks, during which researchers will monitor and compare the effects of these treatments on lung function and disease progression. During the study, participants will undergo various assessments including lung function tests and clinical evaluations to track their respiratory health. Researchers will check for changes in lung capacity and symptoms and monitor safety throughout the treatment period. The main outcome measured is the impact of AP01 doses compared to placebo after 52 weeks of treatment.

This trial investigates whether eptinezumab can reduce the number of migraine days in children and teenagers aged 6 to 17 with episodic migraine. The study focuses on pediatric participants who have had migraine headaches for at least six months, aiming to evaluate the preventive treatment potential of this medication. This is a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to assess both the effectiveness and safety of eptinezumab given intravenously. Participants will receive either eptinezumab or a placebo, both administered as a solution through an infusion. The study includes a screening period where migraine and headache frequency are recorded using an electronic diary. The main measurement is the change from baseline in the average number of monthly migraine days over the first 12 weeks of treatment. During the study, participants and their caregivers will complete headache diaries to track migraine occurrences. Researchers will monitor migraine frequency and evaluate safety throughout the trial. The primary outcome is the difference in migraine days per month compared to the start of the study, assessed over the 12-week treatment period. This study helps understand how well eptinezumab may prevent episodic migraine in the pediatric population.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of JNJ-95597528 compared to a placebo in adults with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis, a chronic skin condition. This Phase 2b study aims to assess how well JNJ-95597528 works in improving symptoms in participants who have had the condition for at least one year and meet specific disease severity criteria. JNJ-95597528 and placebo will both be given by subcutaneous injection. The study is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled to ensure reliable results. Participants will receive their assigned treatment and be monitored throughout the study to evaluate the drug's impact on their skin condition. Participants will be involved in scheduled visits where their eczema severity will be assessed using the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) among other measures. The primary outcome is the proportion of participants achieving a 75% improvement in EASI at Week 12. Safety and adherence to the treatment plan will also be monitored during the study period.

Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a skin condition causing deep, painful bumps that appear where skin rubs together. These bumps can swell, become red, and sometimes fill with pus, turning into abscesses that may burst. Over time, HS can lead to scars and tunnels on or under the skin. This study aims to evaluate how safe and effective the drug zasocitinib is for adults with moderate to severe HS, comparing it to a placebo in a Phase 2 trial. Participants will receive either zasocitinib or a placebo capsule daily for 16 weeks. The placebo looks the same but contains no medicine. After this initial 4-month period, all participants, including those who first received placebo, will be offered zasocitinib for up to an additional 8 months. Throughout the study, participants will visit the clinic 12 times for treatment and monitoring. During the visits, researchers will assess treatment response, including the percentage of participants achieving a 75% reduction in HS signs at week 16. They will also monitor safety and tolerance of the medication. Participants will undergo various evaluations such as physical exams, lab tests, and questionnaires to track disease progress and side effects. The study includes careful follow-up to ensure participant safety and to gather detailed information on the drug's effects over the total study duration of up to 12 months.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of astegolimab compared to a placebo in adults aged 40 to 80 years who have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The study focuses on participants who are former or current smokers with a history of frequent COPD flare-ups. This phase III trial aims to determine how well astegolimab reduces moderate and severe COPD exacerbations over one year. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either subcutaneous astegolimab every two or four weeks or a placebo every two weeks. All participants will continue their optimized COPD maintenance treatments, which may include combinations of inhaled corticosteroids, long-acting beta-agonists, and long-acting muscarinic antagonists. Study treatments will be administered over a 52-week period. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor the annual rate of moderate and severe COPD exacerbations. Participants will undergo lung function tests, chest imaging, and assessments of breathlessness and lung health. The study will also carefully track the safety of the treatments, including any infections or heart-related problems. The total participation time is 52 weeks, during which the effectiveness and safety of astegolimab will be evaluated.

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.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of three different dosing schedules of povorcitinib on lung function in adults with moderately to severely uncontrolled asthma. This Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to assess both the safety and efficacy of povorcitinib in improving respiratory outcomes for this patient group. Participants have a history of asthma treatment with medium- to high-dose ICS-LABA therapy and meet specific lung function criteria before enrollment. Participants will receive one of three povorcitinib dosing regimens or a placebo while continuing their background ICS-LABA therapy. The study includes multiple treatment arms to compare the effects of different doses. The intervention period lasts 24 weeks, during which pulmonary function and other health measures will be monitored. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments, including lung function tests measuring pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (pre-BD FEV1) at baseline and week 24. Researchers will also monitor safety and collect data on asthma exacerbations and symptom control. The total participation time covers the treatment duration and follow-up evaluations to assess changes in pulmonary function and overall health status.

Researchers are studying AZD0292, a bispecific antibody, to see if it can prevent flare-ups in people aged 12 and older who have bronchiectasis with chronic colonization by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PsA). This Phase IIb trial compares two different doses of AZD0292 given through intravenous infusion against a placebo. The study mainly focuses on non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis patients with frequent PsA-related lung exacerbations, which can worsen lung function, quality of life, and survival. Cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis patients colonized with PsA are also included as an exploratory group. Participants will receive either a high or low dose of AZD0292 or a placebo starting on Day 1 by IV infusion, with additional doses given according to the study schedule. The trial is randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and parallel in design. Treatment effects, safety, and how the body processes the drug will be studied over the course of dosing. During the study, participants will be monitored for lung exacerbations over a follow-up period ranging from 28 to 52 weeks. Researchers will assess lung function, collect airway samples to confirm PsA colonization, and track any side effects or adverse events. The main measure of success is the annualized rate of exacerbations. Participants must adhere to study visits and assessments throughout the trial to help determine the drug’s effectiveness and safety.
