Researchers are evaluating the real-world effectiveness of Repatha® combined with standard of care (SOC) compared to SOC alone in reducing major cardiovascular events. The study focuses on people with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) who are treated according to local clinical practice. The goal is to see how these treatments affect the risk of cardiovascular death, heart attacks, stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina, or coronary revascularization. Participants will either be prescribed Repatha® in addition to their existing SOC treatment or continue with SOC alone. The study follows these participants over time to observe outcomes. Treatments are given according to local guidelines and approved labels, reflecting real-world medical care. During the study, researchers will monitor participants for the time until the first occurrence of any major cardiovascular event listed above, for up to 72 months. Participants will undergo regular assessments to track their health status and treatment effects. Safety and effectiveness are observed through ongoing real-world data collection in this prospective, observational study.

This research aims to evaluate how well brenipatide (LY3537031) is tolerated, what side effects may occur, and its safety and effectiveness in adults with Irritable Bowel Syndrome-Diarrhea (IBS-D). The study focuses on participants who meet specific IBS-D criteria related to bowel movement patterns and abdominal pain. It is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial lasting approximately 35 weeks. Participants will receive either brenipatide or a placebo, both administered under the skin through subcutaneous injection. The treatments are compared to assess their impact on IBS-D symptoms. The study involves careful monitoring of patients' responses to the medication over the treatment period, with no changes in diet allowed in the four weeks before screening. During the study, participants will track their symptoms daily using an electronic diary, including abdominal pain and stool consistency. Researchers will measure the percentage of days participants have a positive composite response between weeks 9 and 16. Safety and side effects will be monitored throughout the study, ensuring participants are closely observed during the full duration of about 35 weeks.

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 effectiveness and safety of brenipatide compared to a placebo in adults with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and hazardous alcohol use. This Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind study aims to understand if brenipatide can help participants reduce or stop drinking. The study lasts approximately 56 weeks and focuses on changes in drinking patterns using the Timeline Followback Method (TLFB). Participants will receive either brenipatide (LY3537031) or a placebo, both administered by subcutaneous injection. Participants who cannot self-inject will have assistance from a trained support person. They are expected to store and use the blinded study drug as directed, maintain electronic and paper diaries, and complete questionnaires throughout the study. During the study, participants will have scheduled visits to monitor their progress, including assessments of drinking behavior and safety evaluations. Researchers will measure changes in alcohol use patterns up to 56 weeks. Participants must be motivated to reduce or stop drinking and be available for all study visits and procedures. Safety and adherence will be closely monitored throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of brenipatide compared to a placebo for adults with moderate-to-severe Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). This phase 3 study aims to better understand if brenipatide can help reduce drinking in this population. Participants will be followed for about 56 weeks to gather comprehensive information. Participants will receive either brenipatide (LY3537031) or a placebo, both given by subcutaneous injection. The study involves a randomized, double-blind design, meaning neither the participants nor the researchers know who receives which treatment during the trial. This method helps provide reliable results about the effects and safety of brenipatide. During the study, participants will attend scheduled visits, self-inject the study drug, and complete electronic and paper diaries as well as questionnaires. Researchers will monitor changes in drinking patterns using the Timeline Followback Method for up to 56 weeks. Safety monitoring and regular assessments will be performed throughout the study to track participants' health and adherence.

Researchers are investigating the safety and effectiveness of eloralintide compared to a placebo in adults with persistent obesity or overweight. This includes people with or without type 2 diabetes who are already on stable weekly incretin therapy. The study is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind trial focusing on this specific group to better understand treatment outcomes. Participants will receive either eloralintide or a placebo, both given by subcutaneous injection once a week. The study compares these two treatments over the course of the trial. Participants must continue their stable incretin therapy throughout the study period. The study lasts about 80 weeks in total. Researchers will monitor changes in body weight from the start of treatment to week 64 as the main outcome. Participants will have regular assessments to track their health, safety, and treatment effects during this time.

Researchers are studying the effects of Yiyang Huoluo Decoction, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on older adults aged 50 to 75 years with coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis. This clinical trial aims to discover whether adding this herbal treatment to standard Western heart medications improves symptoms and heart health, as well as to evaluate its safety and potential impact on blood vessel repair at a cellular level. The study is conducted in Phase 1 and Phase 2 stages, focusing on older individuals who have undergone drug-eluting stent implantation for severe vascular narrowing. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group receives standard Western heart medications, including antiplatelet drugs, statins, beta-blockers, and ACEI/ARB agents; the other group receives these medications plus Yiyang Huoluo Decoction herbal granules. The decoction contains multiple herbal ingredients such as Rehmanniae Radix, Dioscoreae Rhizoma, Cornus Officinalis Fructus, and others. The treatment period lasts 12 weeks, during which participants follow the prescribed decoction regimen alongside their regular medications. During the study, participants attend scheduled visits for health evaluations, blood tests, and heart and blood vessel imaging scans like carotid ultrasound and coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA). They also provide blood samples for research, complete symptom assessments, and report any side effects or health changes. Researchers measure outcomes including traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores, angina severity using the Canadian Cardiovascular Society grading, and the incidence of in-stent restenosis at 36 weeks. Personal health information is kept confidential, and participation is voluntary with the option to withdraw at any time.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of 9MW1911 in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) through a Phase II, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial.

This trial aims to compare 9MW1911 to a placebo to better understand its impact on COPD symptoms and exacerbations. Participants will be assigned to receive either intravenous 9MW1911 or a placebo every 28 days. The treatment period lasts 52 weeks, during which the study drug is administered monthly. The trial includes careful monitoring and evaluation of the participants' lung function and health status throughout this time to assess the effects of the treatment. During the study, participants will undergo various assessments including lung function tests and monitoring for COPD flare-ups or exacerbations. The primary outcome measured is the annual rate of moderate to severe acute COPD exacerbations over 52 weeks. Safety evaluations and regular health checks will also be conducted to ensure participant well-being. The total duration of participation in the trial is one year, providing comprehensive data on treatment effects and safety.

Researchers are studying the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of ponsegromab combined with standard chemotherapy compared to chemotherapy with placebo in adults who have cachexia and metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. This Phase 2b/3 study includes participants who have already completed initial chemotherapy cycles and aims to evaluate ponsegromab as a first-line treatment option for this condition. The study includes a randomized, double-blind design conducted across multiple centers and countries. Participants will receive either one of two doses of ponsegromab or a placebo, both given alongside standard chemotherapy regimens such as nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine or FOLFIRINOX. The study intervention is administered subcutaneously every four weeks. After Phase 2b, one ponsegromab dose will be selected for Phase 3, and participants may continue or switch doses accordingly while maintaining blinding. An optional open-label extension allows participants to receive ponsegromab for up to 12 months after the double-blind study period. During the study, participants will undergo tumor assessments every 6 to 8 weeks by independent radiologists. Researchers will measure body weight changes and anorexia symptoms over 12 weeks to assess treatment impact. The study also includes a caregiver sub-study to explore the quality of life and well-being of primary caregivers. Treatment continues until discontinuation, withdrawal, death, or study completion based on overall survival events.
