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 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 effectiveness of camizestrant compared to standard endocrine therapy in patients with early breast cancer that is estrogen receptor positive (ER+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-). These patients have an intermediate or high risk of cancer recurrence and have already completed local treatments such as surgery and possibly chemotherapy, alongside at least 2 years and up to 5 years of standard adjuvant endocrine therapy. The study is a Phase III, open-label trial designed to assess outcomes over a long term. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either camizestrant, an oral selective estrogen receptor degrader, or one of several standard endocrine therapies including tamoxifen, anastrozole, letrozole, or exemestane, administered according to local approved guidelines. The treatment duration for both groups is planned to last 60 months. Eligible patients may have previously used CDK4/6 inhibitors, and the study will specifically include those with intermediate or high risk of recurrence as determined by clinical and biological markers. During the study, participants will be monitored for up to 10 years from the last patient's randomization to evaluate invasive breast cancer-free survival. Additional outcomes include invasive disease-free survival, distant relapse-free survival, overall survival, safety, and clinical outcome assessments. The study involves ongoing assessments of health status, treatment effects, and safety to determine the long-term benefits and risks of camizestrant compared to standard therapies.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of icotrokinra in adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease, a chronic condition causing severe inflammation in the intestinal tract. This Phase 2b/3 study aims to understand how well icotrokinra works compared to a placebo in improving symptoms and intestinal healing in this patient group. Participants will receive either icotrokinra or a matching placebo orally every day. The study includes both induction and maintenance phases where researchers assess clinical and endoscopic responses at specific time points, such as Week 12 and Week 40, to determine treatment effects over time. Throughout the study, participants will undergo various assessments including clinical evaluations, endoscopic exams, and safety monitoring. Researchers will measure outcomes like clinical response, clinical remission, and endoscopic healing at Weeks 12 and 40. The study involves regular monitoring to track the participants' health and treatment adherence over the duration of the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of KT-621, an oral drug, in adults and adolescents aged 12 to 75 years with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD), a common form of eczema. This phase 2b study aims to assess how well KT-621 reduces the severity and extent of AD, its safety and tolerability, how the drug behaves in the body, and the body's response to the drug. The study includes a 16-week double-blind, placebo-controlled period followed by a 52-week open-label phase. Participants will receive either KT-621 or a matching oral placebo during the initial 16-week double-blind period. Following this, all participants have the option to enter a 52-week open-label period where they receive KT-621. During these phases, participants will continue their regular use of moisturizers twice daily and adhere to the treatment plan. The study is conducted across multiple centers and includes dose-ranging to evaluate different doses of KT-621. Throughout the study, participants will have scheduled visits for assessments including clinical evaluations of eczema severity using the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score, which measures changes from baseline through week 16. Other evaluations include questionnaires, laboratory tests, and adherence monitoring via an electronic diary. Safety and tolerability are closely monitored, and participants are expected to comply with all study procedures over the entire duration of the trial, including both the double-blind and open-label periods.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of SPY072 compared to a placebo in adults aged 18 years and older who have moderately to severely active rheumatic diseases. This Phase 2, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled basket study includes participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) who have not responded adequately to standard treatments. Participants are assigned to receive either SPY072 or a matching placebo. The study includes separate substudies for each condition: RA participants must have active disease despite treatment with conventional or biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs; axSpA participants must have active disease despite use of NSAIDs or biologic therapies; PsA participants must have active disease despite NSAIDs, conventional or biologic therapies. Treatments are given during the study period, and participants are monitored for changes in disease activity specific to their condition. During the study, participants undergo assessments including joint counts, disease activity scores, and laboratory tests such as C-reactive protein levels. Researchers measure changes in disease activity scores at 12 or 16 weeks depending on the condition, and evaluate the proportion of PsA participants achieving a clinical response. Safety and efficacy are monitored throughout, with the total participation duration aligned with these outcome measures.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a long-lasting inflammatory condition that affects the joints and skin in people with psoriasis (PsO). This research aims to evaluate how well the drug zasocitinib (TAK-279) works in adults with active PsA who have not previously used biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. The study is a Phase 3 clinical trial designed to compare zasocitinib against an active comparator and placebo in this patient group. Participants will receive treatment with either zasocitinib tablets, an active comparator capsule, or a matching placebo. The study includes multiple groups to assess the effects of these treatments. Participants will be followed and treated for up to 60 weeks during the study period. During the study, participants will undergo assessments to measure the percentage achieving improvement according to the American College of Rheumatology 20 (ACR20) response at 16 weeks. Researchers will monitor symptoms, joint and skin involvement, and overall safety throughout the trial. Participants will have regular visits for evaluations and will be observed for treatment effects and any side effects over the full course of the study.

This research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of TAK-279 in people with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease, a long-term condition that causes inflammation anywhere in the gut. The study seeks to determine if three different doses of TAK-279 can reduce bowel inflammation and ulcers compared to a placebo after 12 weeks of treatment. Participants will be assessed using endoscopy to check the level of bowel inflammation. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: three different doses of TAK-279 or a placebo. They will receive the assigned treatment capsules for a total of 52 weeks (1 year). The study is double-blind, meaning neither the participants nor the doctors will know which treatment is given unless needed for urgent medical reasons. The trial will be conducted at multiple centers worldwide and involves 15 clinic visits. Throughout the study, participants will undergo assessments including endoscopy to measure treatment response based on the Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease at week 12. Safety will also be monitored over approximately 60 weeks, including a 4-week safety follow-up period after treatment ends. Researchers will compare the medical problems experienced and how well participants tolerate the treatments.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of increasing doses of IPN10200 to understand its pharmacodynamics and identify the best dose for treating adults with upper limb spasticity. This integrated Phase I/II, multicenter, double-blind, randomized study also compares IPN10200 with Dysport and placebo to find the optimal balance of efficacy and safety in adults aged 18 to 70 years with spastic hemiparesis following stroke or traumatic brain injury. Participants receive either IPN10200, Dysport, or placebo as a powder and solvent solution for injection. The study includes dose escalation and dose-finding phases to assess different dosing levels. Treatments are administered in the affected upper limb muscles, with eligibility based on specific muscle tone and spasticity angle criteria. The study monitors participants for up to 9 months, including a safety follow-up period. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including vital signs (blood pressure and heart rate), clinical lab tests, physical examinations, and monitoring for treatment-emergent adverse events and antibodies to the study drugs. Researchers use these measures to evaluate safety and treatment effects over the 9-month period from baseline through the end of the study.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of IPN10200, a medication designed to prevent episodic and chronic migraines in adults aged 18 to 80. Migraines cause severe throbbing pain often accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light and sound, caused by brain activation releasing pain-related chemicals. IPN10200 works by stopping the release of these chemical messengers, and this phase II study aims to find the right dose that balances safety and efficacy. The study has three periods: first, a screening to check eligibility; second, Step 1 where two different doses of IPN10200 are tested sequentially in two groups, with injections given into muscles of the head, face, and neck and safety monitored over 36 weeks; third, Step 2 where new participants with episodic or chronic migraine are randomly assigned to receive one of two doses or a placebo, also via injections in the same areas, with monitoring continuing until Week 36. Participants will complete a daily electronic migraine diary and questionnaires throughout the study lasting up to 44 weeks. Researchers will monitor safety by tracking adverse events, laboratory changes, vital signs, facial exams, ECG readings, and antibody development. They will also measure changes in monthly migraine days to evaluate treatment effectiveness while ensuring participant safety throughout the study.
