Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of a drug called B001 injection in patients who have neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and test positive for aquaporin-4 antibodies. This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II/III clinical trial designed to compare B001 with a placebo in this patient population. The goal is to assess whether B001 can reduce the time to the first NMOSD attack during the study period. Participants will receive either an intravenous dose of B001 or a matching placebo on Day 1 and Day 15 during the randomized controlled period (RCP). Both treatment groups follow the same dosing schedule to evaluate the effects of B001 compared to placebo over approximately 48 weeks. During the study, participants will be closely monitored through regular assessments to track any NMOSD attacks and overall health. Researchers will measure the time to the first NMOSD attack as the primary outcome. Safety and any side effects of the treatment will also be evaluated throughout the study period. Participants are expected to complete all required tests and follow study procedures as part of their involvement.

Researchers are conducting a Phase I/II, multi-site, open-label study to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and optimal dosing of the investigational treatments BNT323 combined with BNT327 in adults with advanced breast cancer. This includes those with hormone receptor-positive or negative types, HER2-positive, HER2-low, HER2-ultralow, HER2-null breast cancer, or triple-negative breast cancer. The study aims to understand how these treatments work alone and together in this patient population. The study has two parts: Part 1 involves dose escalation where participants with chemotherapy-pretreated advanced breast cancer receive BNT323 and BNT327 together to find the recommended Phase 2 dose. Part 2 is an expansion phase that tests the safety and effectiveness of the chosen dose, including randomized comparisons of combination therapy at different doses and monotherapies. Participants may be assigned to one of four treatment arms, with dosing administered via intravenous infusion. Participants will be monitored for dose-limiting toxicities during the first 21 days of treatment, as well as adverse events up to 90 days after the last dose. Tumor response will be assessed for up to 36 months. Evaluations include heart function tests, tumor imaging, safety assessments, and tracking of side effects. The study carefully monitors treatment safety, effectiveness, and participant health throughout the trial duration.

The trial investigates the use of volrustomig in participants with unresected locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) who have not shown disease progression after receiving definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT). The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of volrustomig compared to observation in this patient population. Participants have tumors that express PD-L1 and the study is conducted as a Phase III, randomized, open-label, multi-center global trial. Participants are assigned to receive either volrustomig as sequential therapy following cCRT or to an observation group. The treatment period involves monitoring participants who have completed definitive cCRT but remain unresected and have no evidence of metastatic disease. The study focuses on participants with Stage III, IVA, or IVB LA-HNSCC according to AJCC criteria, who have not undergone tumor resection before cCRT and have not been treated with radiotherapy alone. During the study, participants are regularly evaluated for progression-free survival, with follow-up lasting up to approximately 8 years to assess long-term outcomes. Researchers will monitor safety and disease progression closely. The overall participation duration includes screening, treatment or observation, and extended follow-up to capture both efficacy and safety data over time.

This is a phase I/II, multicenter, open-label, first-in-human study of FWD1802 in patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer that is estrogen receptor (ER)-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative (Phase II: restricted to patients with ESR1-mutated). It consists of three parts: the FWD1802 dose-escalation phase (Phase I Part A), the FWD1802 dose-expansion phase (Phase I Part B), and the dose-expansion study of FWD1802 in patients with ESR1 mutations (Phase II study). Each study phase includes a screening period (up to 4 weeks), a treatment period (maximum treatment duration of 2 years; continuation beyond 2 years is permitted if the investigator judges the subject is still benefiting, with agreement from both the investigator and sponsor), and a follow-up period. The Phase II study includes a pre-screening period; patients with unknown mutation status may undergo testing that includes ESR1 mutation status prior to the screening period. Phase I Part A is the FWD1802 dose-escalation study: A dose-escalation trial using a combination of an "accelerated titration" design and a "3+3" design is planned, with a maximum of 27 subjects to be enrolled. The Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC) will evaluate pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), efficacy, and safety data to guide the determination of potentially effective doses for Part B and the Phase II study. Phase I Part B is the FWD1802 dose-expansion study: Based on safety, PK, PD, and other data obtained from Part A, 2 to 4 dose cohorts will be selected for further exploration of FWD1802's PK profile and the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). Each dose cohort will be expanded to include up to 10 subjects (including subjects from the corresponding dose cohort in Part A). The SMC will decide which dose cohorts to expand and the timing of expansion based on information obtained from Part A. Dose expansion may proceed concurrently with the dose-escalation phase, within dose ranges already confirmed as safe by the SMC. The Phase II study is cohort expansion study targeting the population with ESR1 mutations: Enrolled subjects will have ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer with ESR1 mutations. One to two dose levels will be selected for exploration, with each dose level enrolling no more than 30 subjects, for a maximum total enrollment of 60 subjects.

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.

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 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.

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 comparing how long participants with KRAS/NRAS and BRAF wild-type recurrent, unresectable, or metastatic colorectal cancer remain disease-free and their overall survival time when treated with two different regimens. This phase 3 study focuses on patients who have previously received chemotherapy. The study aims to evaluate progression-free survival and overall survival in participants receiving amivantamab plus FOLFIRI versus cetuximab or bevacizumab plus FOLFIRI. The study involves two treatment groups: one receiving amivantamab combined with chemotherapy drugs 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium or levoleucovorin, and irinotecan (FOLFIRI), and the other receiving either cetuximab or bevacizumab with the same chemotherapy regimen. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of these treatment arms. The treatments will be administered according to protocol to assess their effects on the cancer. Participants will be monitored for up to 2 years and 1 month to measure progression-free survival through blinded independent central review and followed for overall survival for up to 4 years and 4 months. The study includes assessments of tumor response, safety, and other clinical evaluations. Tissue samples and detailed clinical data will also be collected. This comprehensive monitoring will help determine the comparative effectiveness of the treatment options over time.

This trial is focused on adults with KRAS/NRAS and BRAF wild-type unresectable or metastatic left-sided colorectal cancer. It compares the length of time participants remain free from disease progression when treated with amivantamab combined with chemotherapy regimens (mFOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI) versus cetuximab combined with the same chemotherapy regimens. The study is a randomized, open-label Phase 3 clinical trial designed to evaluate progression-free survival over a period of up to 4 years and 2 months. Participants receive either amivantamab with chemotherapy drugs including 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium or levoleucovorin, oxaliplatin, or irinotecan hydrochloride, or cetuximab with the same chemotherapy regimens (mFOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI). Treatments are administered as first-line therapy for their colorectal cancer. The trial assesses how these treatments affect disease progression and survival. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly through assessments and evaluations to measure progression-free survival. Researchers will gather data via blinded independent central review to ensure unbiased assessment of disease status. Participants are followed up for safety and treatment efficacy over the study duration, which may last over four years.
