This research aims to evaluate the effects of litifilimab (BIIB059), a monoclonal antibody, in adults with active subacute or chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE), with or without systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Participants have active skin symptoms of CLE that have not improved with antimalarial therapy or had difficulties continuing that treatment. The study focuses on reducing skin disease activity using several scores including CLA-IGA-R and CLASI, while also assessing safety, immune response, and quality of life. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either litifilimab or a placebo injection under the skin every four weeks during a 24-week double-blind period where neither participants nor researchers know which treatment is given. After this, all participants will receive litifilimab injections every four weeks for an additional 28 weeks. Those who complete the treatment may join a long-term extension study or enter a follow-up safety period lasting up to 24 weeks. Total participation may last up to 80 weeks. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor skin disease activity using the CLA-IGA-R erythema score and the CLASI-A activity score to see how many participants improve. They will also assess safety, tolerability, immune system effects, and participants' quality of life using questionnaires. These evaluations occur regularly during both treatment periods and follow-up to understand the impact of litifilimab on CLE symptoms and overall health.

Researchers are evaluating new treatment options for adults with locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery and has a specific KRAS G12C gene mutation. This study compares the safety and effectiveness of adding calderasib and cetuximab, both targeted therapies, to a standard chemotherapy regimen called mFOLFOX6. The goal is to see if this combination can help patients live longer without their cancer growing or spreading compared to current treatments that may include mFOLFOX6 with or without bevacizumab. The study has two parts. It involves treatment with calderasib taken as an oral tablet, cetuximab given according to standard procedures, and mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy combining oxaliplatin, leucovorin/levofolinate calcium, and 5-fluorouracil. Some participants may receive bevacizumab or a bevacizumab biosimilar as part of the comparison. The treatments are given following approved dosing schedules. This design allows researchers to assess the safety and tolerability of these drug combinations in treating this type of colorectal cancer with the KRAS G12C mutation. Participants will be monitored for side effects, treatment tolerability, and cancer progression over a period that may last up to about 44 months. Researchers will track outcomes such as how many participants experience dose-limiting toxicities or adverse events, how many stop treatment due to side effects, and progression-free survival time. Assessments include health evaluations, laboratory tests, and imaging to observe cancer status. This long-term follow-up aims to understand both safety and effectiveness of the treatment combinations.

Researchers are evaluating new treatments for people with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (HR NMIBC), a type of bladder cancer that has not spread to the muscle but has a high chance of worsening or returning. This cancer type may include carcinoma in situ (CIS), which is a flat, surface-level bladder cancer. The study aims to learn whether adding intismeran autogene (V940), a treatment designed to boost the immune system's attack on cancer, to the standard Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) immunotherapy can help people live longer without the cancer growing, spreading, or coming back. Participants will receive either the combination of V940 with BCG or BCG alone. BCG is given as a bladder instillation, while V940 is given as an intramuscular injection. The study is phase 2, open-label, and randomized. As of a 2026 amendment, outcome measures for a monotherapy arm of V940 are no longer primary or secondary. Treatment is focused on Cohort A, which includes people with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who are BCG-naïve or meet specific recurrence criteria. During the study, participants will be monitored for event-free survival for up to approximately 5 years. Researchers will assess how long participants live without the cancer worsening or returning. The study includes regular evaluations, imaging, and safety monitoring. The total duration of participation depends on individual outcomes and follow-up but includes long-term observation to assess treatment effects and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety and tolerability of dazodalibep in adults with Sjögren's Syndrome. This phase 3 open-label extension study focuses on participants who have previously received dazodalibep or placebo in earlier phase 3 trials and completed those studies through Week 48. Participants will receive dazodalibep intravenously during this long-term extension study. The first dose is administered around Week 48 (+28 days) following the prior phase 3 studies. The study monitors safety and tolerability over an extended period to assess treatment-emergent adverse events up to 152 weeks. During the study, participants will undergo regular evaluations to monitor their health and any side effects. Researchers will collect data on adverse events that emerge during treatment. The overall goal is to gather long-term safety information to better understand how participants tolerate dazodalibep when used over an extended time frame.

Researchers are studying the safety and tolerability of budoprutug, a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets CD19 cells, in adults with primary membranous nephropathy (PMN). This Phase 2, open-label, multicenter trial focuses on patients who are anti-PLA2R antibody positive and continue to have proteinuria despite optimized RAAS inhibition. The study aims to evaluate three different intravenous dose regimens of budoprutug and their effects on this specific kidney condition. Participants will receive budoprutug through single intravenous doses on Day 1, Day 15, Day 169, and Day 183 within one of three sequential dose groups. Approximately 45 subjects will be enrolled, each receiving treatment according to their assigned dosing schedule. The study includes a follow-up period through Week 48, with additional monitoring for B-cell recovery as needed. During the study, participants will undergo safety assessments including monitoring for treatment-emergent adverse events up to 48 weeks. Researchers will also evaluate pharmacodynamics and preliminary efficacy through laboratory tests and clinical evaluations. Regular visits will include tests for kidney function, protein levels in urine, and blood cell counts, alongside other health assessments to ensure participant safety and gather data on how the drug affects the disease.

Researchers are investigating the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of two dosing regimens of itepekimab compared to placebo as an add-on to intranasal corticosteroids in adults with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) that is not well controlled. This multinational Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involves male and female participants aged 18 years and older living with CRSwNP. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three groups receiving either itepekimab injections or placebo injections, both administered subcutaneously, alongside mometasone furoate nasal spray delivered intranasally. The study includes a 4-week screening period, followed by a 52-week treatment phase, and a 20-week safety follow-up, totaling up to 76 weeks. Participants transitioning to an extension study (LTS18420) will have a total duration of 56 weeks. Study visits include nine site visits and 20 phone or home visits. During the trial, participants will undergo assessments including endoscopic Nasal Polyp Scores (NPS) and Nasal Congestion Scores (NCS) measured from baseline to week 24 to evaluate changes. Researchers will monitor safety and tolerability throughout, with regular evaluations involving symptom severity, treatment adherence, and adverse events. The study aims to understand how well itepekimab works and is tolerated as an additional treatment for CRSwNP over the study duration.

Researchers are investigating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of combining baxdrostat with dapagliflozin compared to dapagliflozin alone in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and high blood pressure. This Phase III, international, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to see if this combination reduces risks such as significant kidney function decline, kidney failure, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death. The study includes a 4-week run-in period where participants not previously treated with SGLT2 inhibitors receive dapagliflozin alone. After this, participants are randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat plus dapagliflozin or placebo plus dapagliflozin in a double-blinded manner. Study visits occur frequently initially (at 2, 4, 8, 16, 34, and 52 weeks after randomization) and then approximately every 4 months. If participants stop the blinded treatment early, they continue dapagliflozin alone unless specific criteria require its discontinuation. Participants will undergo regular assessments including blood pressure monitoring and laboratory tests related to kidney function and cardiovascular health. The primary outcome measures the reduction in risk of major kidney and heart events over up to 37 months. Even if participants stop the study treatment, they will continue follow-up visits and data collection to ensure comprehensive safety and efficacy evaluation throughout the study duration.

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.

This research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of zilovertamab vedotin (ZV) combined with standard treatments for participants with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (rrDLBCL). It is a Phase 2/3, randomized, open-label, multisite study including participants aged 18 and older. The study tests two main hypotheses: that ZV combined with rituximab, gemcitabine, and oxaliplatin (R-GemOx) is better than R-GemOx alone for progression-free survival; and that ZV combined with bendamustine rituximab (BR) is better than BR alone. However, enrollment in the BR and ZV + BR arms is discontinued, so no outcome analysis will be done for those groups. The study is split into two parts: Part 1 confirms the dose of ZV, and Part 2 expands to evaluate its efficacy. Participants receive intravenous infusions of ZV at various doses, along with standard drugs including rituximab, gemcitabine, oxaliplatin, and bendamustine as appropriate. Prophylactic granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is given with each ZV cycle according to institutional guidelines. Treatment schedules and doses are carefully managed to assess safety and treatment effects. During the study, participants will be monitored for dose-limiting toxicities up to about 6 weeks, and adverse events for up to approximately 68 months. Researchers will also track treatment discontinuations due to adverse events. Key outcomes include overall survival and progression-free survival up to about 35 months. Participants will have regular assessments including scans, clinical evaluations, and laboratory tests to measure response and monitor safety throughout their participation.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of the drug BMS-986365 compared to the investigator's choice of therapy in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. This Phase 3 study aims to measure the length of time participants live without radiographic disease progression, using established criteria for bone and soft tissue cancer progression. The study focuses on patients who have already been treated with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors and have metastatic prostate cancer confirmed by imaging. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either one of two dose levels of BMS-986365 or the investigator's choice of treatment, which may include Docetaxel plus Prednisone/Prednisolone, Abiraterone plus Prednisone/Prednisolone, or Enzalutamide. The study has two parts: initially, participants are assigned to one of three groups including two BMS-986365 doses or comparator therapy, followed by a second part where they are randomized to either the selected BMS-986365 dose or the comparator treatment. During the study, participants will be monitored for disease progression through scans and evaluations using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors and Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group criteria, with follow-up lasting up to four years. Safety and treatment effects will be assessed regularly, and participants' symptoms and quality of life will be closely observed. This long-term follow-up helps researchers understand the treatment's impact on cancer progression and patient well-being.
