Researchers are studying the safety and effectiveness of T3011, a herpesvirus injection, combined with PD-1PD-L1 inhibitors in adults with advanced solid tumors. This clinical trial aims to evaluate how well this combination treatment works and how well patients tolerate it, with the study sponsored by Shanghai Pharmaceuticals Holding Co., Ltd. It is a Phase IbIIa trial conducted at multiple centers. Participants will receive T3011 injected directly into tumors every two weeks, along with PD-1PD-L1 inhibitors given by intravenous infusion at a dose of 3 mgkg also every two weeks. Different dose levels of T3011 high, middle, and low are being tested to assess safety and initial effectiveness. The study does not include a placebo group and is open-label, meaning both researchers and participants know the treatments being given. During the study, participants will be closely monitored for side effects and treatment responses over about two years. Researchers will measure outcomes such as the rate of treatment-related adverse events, objective response rate, disease control rate, duration of remission, progression-free survival, and overall survival. Participants will undergo regular assessments including physical exams, laboratory tests, and imaging to track their progress and safety throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of volrustomig compared to observation in participants with unresected locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma LA-HNSCC who have not progressed after receiving definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy cCRT. This phase III, randomized, open-label global study aims to assess whether volrustomig can improve outcomes in this patient population. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups those who receive volrustomig as sequential therapy, and those who undergo observation without additional treatment. The study compares these two approaches following prior curative concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The trial includes long-term follow-up to monitor patient outcomes. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed for progression-free survival, overall survival, physical functioning, and quality of life. Researchers will also monitor for the presence of anti-drug antibodies and adverse events related to volrustomig. Follow-up evaluations may continue for up to approximately eight years to fully understand the treatment impact and safety profile.

Researchers are evaluating the combination of baxdrostat and dapagliflozin in people with chronic kidney disease CKD and high blood pressure hypertension. This Phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to assess whether this combination reduces the risk of serious kidney damage, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death compared to dapagliflozin alone. The study includes participants with CKD and hypertension who meet specific kidney function and blood pressure criteria. Participants who are not already taking SGLT2 inhibitors will first complete a 4-week dapagliflozin run-in period. Then, they will be randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat plus dapagliflozin or a placebo plus dapagliflozin. Baxdrostat dosing may start low and be increased if needed. Study visits will occur at 2, 4, 8, 16, 34, and 52 weeks after randomization, and then approximately every four months until the study ends, which is based on the number of key kidney or heart-related events. Throughout the study, participants will have regular assessments including blood tests to monitor kidney function and potassium levels, blood pressure measurements, and evaluations of heart and kidney health. If participants stop the blinded study drug early, they will continue dapagliflozin if possible and remain in the study for ongoing visits and monitoring. The main outcome is whether the combination treatment reduces the risk of a 50% sustained decline in kidney function, kidney failure, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death over up to 37 months.
