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 effects of durvalumab, an immunotherapy drug, on various advanced solid tumors in adults who previously stopped prior immunotherapy due to immune-related side effects. This phase II study also investigates whether prednisone, a steroid, can reduce side effects when given with durvalumab. Additionally, the study allows patients from completed Canadian Cancer Trials Group CCTG studies to continue treatment with durvalumab with or without tremelimumab. Participants receive durvalumab at a dose of 1500 mg intravenously every 4 weeks. Prednisone may be given orally in the first two cycles at specific doses to manage side effects. Patients previously enrolled in other CCTG trials may continue durvalumab treatment, sometimes combined with tremelimumab. The study uses a factorial design and randomized allocation to evaluate these treatments over a period of up to two years. Participants undergo screening and regular follow-ups to monitor side effects and treatment response. Assessments include laboratory tests, imaging to document disease status, and evaluation of immune-related adverse events. Researchers measure the number and severity of side effects and the effectiveness of corticosteroids in preventing recurrent immune-related events. The study also collects tumor samples for correlative studies. Treatment begins promptly after enrollment, and patients are followed for up to two years to assess safety and continued treatment outcomes.

Researchers are studying women with a newly diagnosed invasive breast cancer that is node negative and 3 cm or smaller in size to compare two types of radiation therapy after breast-conserving surgery BCS. The study aims to see if partial breast irradiation PBI given once daily over one week is not worse than whole breast irradiation WBI in preventing cancer return and whether it results in better cosmetic outcomes. This is a randomized, single-blind trial focusing on local recurrence and patient-assessed cosmesis three years after treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either PBI or WBI. Both treatments deliver a total of 26 Gy radiation in 5 fractions, given once daily over 5 to 7 days with up to 8 days allowed for scheduling reasons. PBI targets the tumor bed plus a margin of normal tissue, while WBI targets the whole breast. Patients will not know which treatment they receive to avoid bias in cosmetic assessments. Stratification factors include tumor size, estrogen receptor status, and clinical center. During the study, participants will be monitored for local recurrence annually for five years and will assess their cosmetic outcome at three and five years post-treatment. Researchers will also evaluate survival, disease-free survival, radiation side effects, and quality of life at various intervals. Clinical assessments and nurse evaluations of cosmesis will occur at three and five years. Overall, participant involvement spans several years with multiple follow-up visits to measure outcomes and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the characteristics and outcomes of individuals with asthma across different levels of disease severity in routine clinical practice. The study aims to describe participants sociodemographic and clinical features, treatment patterns, disease burden, biomarkers, and both asthma-specific and general quality of life. This research includes both a cross-sectional analysis and a prospective follow-up to observe changes in disease progression over time. The study involves participants receiving standard asthma care, including treatment with varying doses of inhaled corticosteroids andor biologic therapies. Participants are grouped based on asthma control levels and biomarker status. The first part of the study collects baseline data cross-sectionally, while the second part follows participants prospectively to assess differences in asthma symptom control, treatment use, lung function, and comorbidities over a two-year period. Participants will be involved in scheduled data collection including patient and physician-reported outcomes, lung function tests, blood samples, and questionnaires assessing quality of life and symptom control. The study monitors treatment utilization and health resource use from the prior year and during follow-up visits at one and two years. The total participation period spans up to two years with ongoing assessment of disease characteristics and outcomes.

Researchers are evaluating camizestrant against standard endocrine therapy for patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer who have an intermediate or high risk of disease recurrence. These patients must have completed locoregional therapy and at least 2 to 5 years of standard adjuvant endocrine therapy. The study is a Phase III open-label trial focused on improving outcomes for these patients over a long-term period. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either camizestrant orally or continue with the standard endocrine therapy chosen by their investigator, which may include aromatase inhibitors exemestane, letrozole, anastrozole or tamoxifen. Treatment in each group lasts for 60 months. The study allows prior use of CDK46 inhibitors and includes a follow-up period extending up to 10 years from the last patient randomization. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments to monitor invasive breast cancer-free survival and other outcomes such as invasive disease-free survival, distant relapse-free survival, overall survival, and safety. Researchers will also evaluate symptoms like joint pain, hot flushes, and vaginal dryness using specific scales, along with quality of life measures and pharmacokinetics. Safety monitoring continues up to 28 days after the last dose, and participants remain under observation for up to 10 years total.

Researchers are evaluating orforglipron to measure its effects on cardiovascular outcomes in adults aged 50 and older who have atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ASCVD andor chronic kidney disease CKD. This phase 3 study aims to compare orforglipron with a placebo to better understand its impact on major cardiovascular events over about five years. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either orforglipron orally along with standard care or a placebo orally along with standard care. The study is double-blinded, meaning neither participants nor researchers will know who receives the active drug or placebo during the trial period. During the study, participants will be followed for around five years, with researchers monitoring the time to the first major cardiovascular event and additional outcomes such as cardiovascular and kidney events, changes in kidney function measured by eGFR, and the onset of type 2 diabetes. The study includes regular assessments to track these outcomes and ensure participant safety throughout the long-term follow-up.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for people with proficient mismatch repair pMMR endometrial cancer that is advanced or has returned after surgery. This cancer starts in the tissues inside the uterus and has spread locally or to other parts of the body, making it not removable by surgery. The study aims to learn if combining sacituzumab tirumotecan sac-TMT with pembrolizumab helps people live longer and without their cancer worsening compared to pembrolizumab alone. All participants first receive an Induction Phase of six cycles, each lasting three weeks, which includes pembrolizumab combined with carboplatin or cisplatin and paclitaxel or docetaxel. Those whose cancer does not progress then enter a Maintenance Treatment Phase and are randomly assigned to receive either pembrolizumab plus sac-TMT or pembrolizumab alone. If the cancer progresses, participants may enter a Subsequent Treatment Phase where they are randomly assigned to pembrolizumab plus sac-TMT or sac-TMT alone. During maintenance and subsequent phases, sac-TMT is given on Days 1, 15, and 29 of each 6-week cycle, and pembrolizumab is given on Day 1 of each 6-week cycle. Participants are involved throughout the study, receiving intravenous treatments over several months and up to 14 maintenance cycles lasting about 19 months. Researchers will monitor cancer progression and survival up to approximately 44 to 54 months. They also assess safety by tracking adverse events and quality of life using questionnaires. The study requires regular visits for treatment and evaluation over this period to understand how well the treatments work and their effects on participants.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of brenipatide at different dose levels compared with placebo in adults with uncontrolled moderate to severe asthma. This Phase 2 study aims to better understand how brenipatide may affect asthma symptoms and exacerbations over one year of treatment. Participants in this study are adults aged 18 to 75 years with a history of asthma and recent severe exacerbations. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either one of two doses of brenipatide or a placebo, all administered by subcutaneous injection. The treatment period lasts 52 weeks, during which participants receive their assigned injections and are monitored regularly. The study includes a screening period before treatment and a follow-up period after treatment to assess ongoing safety and effects. During the study, participants will attend visits to complete questionnaires, lung function tests such as forced expiratory volume in one second FEV1, and assessments of asthma control and medication use. Researchers will monitor asthma exacerbation rates, rescue medication use, and the presence of anti-drug antibodies. The total study duration including screening, treatment, and follow-up is approximately 65 weeks.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of icotrokinra JNJ-77242113 compared to a placebo in adults with active psoriatic arthritis PsA, including those who have and have not previously used biologic treatments. The study aims to assess how well icotrokinra reduces the signs and symptoms of PsA, focusing on improvements measured by the American College of Rheumatology ACR 20 response at Week 16. Participants are randomly assigned to receive one of two doses of icotrokinra or a matching placebo. Those initially receiving placebo will switch to one of the icotrokinra doses at Week 16. Participants who continue without discontinuing the study drug are eligible to enter a long-term extension phase, where they keep receiving their assigned icotrokinra dose. The treatment period involves regular monitoring and assessment of psoriatic arthritis symptoms. Throughout the study, participants will undergo various assessments, including evaluations of joint swelling and tenderness, skin psoriasis severity, fatigue, physical function, and quality of life. Laboratory tests such as C-reactive protein levels will be measured to monitor inflammation. Researchers will track responses using validated scales like the Psoriatic Area and Severity Index PASI and Investigator Global Assessment IGA. The total duration includes treatment and follow-up visits up to Week 16, with options for extended treatment in the long-term extension phase.

This research aims to evaluate the long-term safety and explore the efficacy of astegolimab in adults aged 40 to 90 years with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD. It focuses on participants who have completed a 52-week placebo-controlled treatment period in previous studies GB43311 or GB44332. The study is a phase 3, open-label extension to gather extended safety information on this drug in COPD patients. Participants from the parent studies who qualify will receive subcutaneous injections of astegolimab every two weeks throughout the study until it ends. This open-label extension allows all participants to receive the active drug without placebo comparison. The study continues treatment beyond the initial 52-week period to monitor long-term effects. During the study, participants will be monitored for adverse events up to 12 weeks after their last dose of astegolimab. Researchers will collect safety data to understand the incidence of any side effects. The study involves regular assessments and follow-ups to ensure participant well-being, with the total duration lasting until July 2034.
