Researchers are studying advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) that has returned after prior adjuvant therapy. The trial aims to find out if treatment with belzutifan and zanzalintinib helps patients live longer and delays disease progression compared to treatment with cabozantinib. This is a Phase 3 randomized study focusing on participants with recurrent advanced RCC who have previously received anti-PD-1/L1 therapy. Participants are randomly assigned to receive one of two oral drug regimens: either belzutifan combined with zanzalintinib, both taken once daily, or cabozantinib alone, also taken once daily. The study compares these treatments to assess their effects on disease control and overall survival. During the study, participants will be monitored for progression-free survival and overall survival for up to approximately 73 months. Researchers will evaluate how well the cancer responds to treatment and track any changes in health status over time. Safety and effectiveness of the treatments will be closely followed throughout the study period.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for people with high-risk, early-stage breast cancer, specifically targeting triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and hormone receptor (HR)-low positive/HER2-negative breast cancer. These types have little or no HER2 protein and involve hormones like estrogen or progesterone. The study aims to evaluate if the addition of sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT), a targeted therapy, combined with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy can improve outcomes compared to pembrolizumab with chemotherapy alone. Participants receive treatments including sacituzumab tirumotecan, pembrolizumab, and chemotherapy drugs such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, all given by intravenous infusion. Rescue medications like antihistamines, acetaminophen, dexamethasone, or steroid mouthwash may be used as needed. The study is randomized and open-label, comparing sac-TMT followed by chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab to chemotherapy and pembrolizumab without sac-TMT. During the study, researchers will monitor participants up to about 30 weeks to assess the percentage of people with no remaining cancer cells at surgery. They will also follow participants for up to approximately 92 months to track event-free survival, meaning time without cancer growth, spread, or return. Participants will undergo imaging, clinical assessments, and laboratory tests to evaluate treatment effects and safety throughout the study.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of Xeomin injections in preventing chronic migraine. This Phase 3 clinical trial compares Xeomin to placebo injections given into muscles of the head and neck. Participants have chronic migraine diagnosed for at least 12 months and meet specific headache and migraine day criteria. The study aims to measure changes in monthly migraine days over time with Xeomin treatment. Participants will receive four treatments spaced about 12 weeks apart over a total study duration of 52 to 55 weeks. The treatments involve injections of either Xeomin or placebo solution prepared with sodium chloride. Visits occur approximately every 4 weeks, totaling 14 visits: the first, last, and four treatment visits are on-site, while the other eight visits are remote via phone or video call. During the study, participants will keep headache diaries to track migraine and headache days. Researchers will focus on the change in monthly migraine days from baseline to six months after the first injection. Safety and effectiveness are monitored throughout, with frequent assessments during both on-site and remote visits to ensure accurate tracking of migraine symptoms and any side effects.

Researchers are evaluating the effect of Xeomin injections compared to placebo injections for preventing episodic migraine. This phase 3 clinical trial focuses on adults who experience episodic migraine, aiming to measure changes in the number of migraine days per month. Participants must have a diagnosis of episodic migraine for at least 12 months and meet specific headache frequency criteria. Participants will receive four treatments of either Xeomin or placebo injections into muscles of the head and neck, with treatments spaced about 12 weeks apart. The entire trial lasts approximately 52 to 55 weeks, beginning with a screening period of 4 to 5 weeks. There are about 14 visits in total, with the first, last, and four treatment visits conducted on-site, while the other visits are held remotely via phone or video. Throughout the study, participants will track their migraine days using a headache diary, and researchers will assess changes in monthly migraine frequency from baseline to six months after the first injection. Regular monitoring includes both in-person and remote assessments. The primary outcome focuses on the change in monthly migraine days between baseline and month six after treatment initiation.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety and effectiveness of TAK-279 (also called Zasocitinib) in adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative Colitis, which are serious inflammatory bowel diseases causing pain and swelling in the intestines. This study is an extension of two earlier phase 2 trials where participants who responded to TAK-279 may continue to receive treatment. The goal is to understand how well TAK-279 controls bowel inflammation and symptoms when used for up to two years. Participants will receive oral Zasocitinib capsules for up to 108 weeks. During this time, they will attend 11 visits at their study clinic for treatment and monitoring. This open-label extension study focuses on long-term safety, tolerability, and sustained response in those who showed improvement in the initial parent trials. Throughout the study, researchers will track the number of participants experiencing treatment-related side effects, significant changes in vital signs, lab tests, and ECG results. Participants' symptoms and inflammation will be regularly assessed to monitor TAK-279's ongoing effects. The study includes safety monitoring from the start of treatment to week 112, with careful attention to any adverse events or important changes in health measurements.

Researchers are studying adults with confirmed Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) and cirrhosis, a scarring of the liver caused by damage to bile ducts. PBC is a slowly progressing disease that causes bile acid buildup and further liver damage, which can lead to cirrhosis. This study aims to evaluate if elafibranor, a daily medication, can prevent worsening clinical outcomes such as the need for liver transplant or death, compared to a placebo. It also looks at the safety of long-term elafibranor use and its effect on symptoms like itching and tiredness. Participants will take either an 80 mg tablet of elafibranor or a matching placebo once daily for up to 3.5 years in a double-blind setup, meaning neither the participants nor researchers know who receives which treatment. This long-term treatment period is designed to monitor the drug's impact over time. The study includes two groups: one receiving elafibranor and the other receiving placebo, with treatment lasting up to approximately 42 months. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed from the start until 4 weeks after treatment ends, with a maximum involvement of 3.5 years. Researchers will measure event-free survival, tracking if participants avoid clinical events indicating disease worsening. Safety monitoring will include tracking side effects and overall health, while symptom impact will be evaluated. Participants will provide informed consent and follow the study protocol throughout this extended observation period.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of pelacarsen (TQJ230), given as a monthly injection under the skin, in people with mild to moderate calcific aortic valve stenosis. This study aims to see if pelacarsen can safely slow the progression of this heart valve condition compared to a placebo. The trial is a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted at multiple centers. Participants will receive either pelacarsen 80 mg or a matching placebo once a month. Before starting the treatment, they must have elevated lipoprotein(a) levels and be optimally treated for existing cardiovascular risk factors. The study focuses on those aged 50 to under 80 years with mild or moderate calcific aortic valve stenosis. During the 36 months of participation, researchers will monitor changes in peak aortic jet velocity and aortic valve calcium score to assess disease progression. Safety, tolerability, and the impact of the treatment will be evaluated. Participants will undergo regular assessments, including laboratory tests and clinical evaluations, to track heart valve condition and overall health throughout the study.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of zodasiran injections in adolescents and adults aged 12 years and older who have genetically or clinically diagnosed Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH). This phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study aims to understand how the treatment affects levels of LDL cholesterol, a harmful type of cholesterol, in the blood over time. Participants receive either zodasiran or a placebo through subcutaneous injections during the double-blind treatment period. After completing this phase, those who wish can enter an optional open-label extension where all placebo participants have the chance to switch to the active drug. The study involves ongoing monitoring to compare the effects of zodasiran versus placebo. Throughout the study, participants will have their LDL cholesterol levels measured at the start and after 12 months to assess changes. Researchers will also monitor safety through regular clinical assessments and laboratory tests. The total duration includes the double-blind period plus the optional extension, providing detailed information on treatment impact and participant health over time.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of two dosing regimens of itepekimab compared to placebo as an add-on treatment to intranasal corticosteroids in adult men and women with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). This multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study includes participants aged 18 years and older who have inadequately controlled CRSwNP. The study aims to better understand how these treatments impact nasal polyp symptoms and disease control over a one-year period. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of two dosing regimens of itepekimab or a placebo, all administered by subcutaneous injection. All participants will continue using mometasone furoate nasal spray as standard intranasal corticosteroid therapy. Treatment will last up to 52 weeks, followed by a 20-week safety follow-up period. The study includes a total of 9 site visits and 20 phone or home visits during the participant's involvement. Participants will be involved in regular assessments including endoscopic nasal polyp scoring and nasal congestion symptom evaluations at baseline and throughout the 24 weeks, among other time points. Researchers will monitor changes in nasal polyp scores and nasal congestion scores to measure the treatment effects. Safety and tolerability will be closely followed during the treatment and safety follow-up periods, with total participation lasting up to 76 weeks for most participants, or 56 weeks for those transitioning to an extension study.

Researchers are conducting the X-TOLE3 Phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of XEN1101 as an additional treatment for adults with focal-onset seizures. The study focuses on measuring changes in seizure frequency when XEN1101 is added to existing antiseizure medications compared to placebo. Participants must have a confirmed diagnosis of focal epilepsy and have tried at least two antiseizure medications without achieving seizure freedom. About 360 participants will be randomly assigned in equal groups to receive either XEN1101 at 25 mg, 15 mg, or a placebo. The study includes up to 9.5 weeks of baseline observation to record seizure frequency, followed by 12 weeks of double-blind treatment where participants take the assigned capsules once daily with an evening meal. Those who complete this period may join a separate open-label extension to continue XEN1101 treatment, while others will enter an 8-week follow-up after treatment ends. During the study, participants will maintain accurate seizure diaries and continue stable doses of 1 to 3 antiseizure medications. Researchers will monitor seizure frequency changes from baseline through the 12-week treatment. Safety and tolerability will also be assessed throughout the trial. The total participation includes baseline, treatment, and follow-up periods to ensure thorough evaluation of the treatment's impact.
