Researchers are evaluating the real-world effectiveness, safety, and patient compliance of ribociclib combined with an aromatase inhibitor for adjuvant treatment in patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer at high risk of recurrence. This observational study also compares ribociclib treatment with abemaciclib plus endocrine therapy and endocrine therapy alone, aiming to better understand treatment decisions and clinical adoption in routine practice. The study is conducted across breast centers and gynecological practices to represent typical healthcare settings. Participants receive treatment based on their physicians clinical judgment without randomization or intervention assignment. The study collects data from patients treated with ribociclib plus aromatase inhibitor with or without luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone LHRH, abemaciclib plus endocrine therapy with or without LHRH, or endocrine therapy alone with or without LHRH. Baseline data and follow-up information on adverse events, quality of life, treatment adherence, and socio-economic factors are gathered over time. During the study, participants undergo assessments including evaluation of invasive disease-free survival up to 36 months, quality of life questionnaires, medication adherence reports, and monitoring of adverse events and treatment changes. Data on reasons for treatment decisions, patient perceptions, and healthcare provider involvement are also collected. The study duration extends up to 39 months to provide a comprehensive overview of treatment impact and patient experience in real-world clinical settings.

Researchers are studying the effectiveness and safety of eloralintide in adults who are obese or overweight but do not have type 2 diabetes. This Phase 3 trial aims to understand how eloralintide affects body weight and related health measures over a long period. The study includes a main phase and an extension phase for those with prediabetes to evaluate ongoing effects. Participants are randomly assigned to receive one of four doses of eloralintide or a placebo, all given by subcutaneous injection once weekly. The main phase lasts about 75 weeks, and participants with prediabetes may continue in an extension phase for an additional two years. This structure allows researchers to assess both short-term and longer-term outcomes. During the study, participants will have regular visits to measure body weight, body fat, waist size, blood pressure, blood markers like triglycerides and insulin, and quality of life questionnaires. Safety and treatment effects are monitored throughout. The main outcome is the percent change in body weight from the start to week 64, with follow-up continuing up to week 191 for some. Overall participation can last up to several years depending on the participants health status.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of NNC0487-0111 for treating adults with excess body weight. This phase 3 clinical trial compares weekly injections of NNC0487-0111 against placebo injections, both given under the skin. Participants also follow a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity as part of the study. Participants receive subcutaneous injections once a week of either NNC0487-0111 or a placebo. The study uses a randomized, parallel design with quadruple masking to assign treatments by chance. Treatments are given alongside lifestyle changes involving diet and exercise. During the trial, participants will be monitored over 92 weeks with regular assessments including body weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, blood sugar markers, cholesterol levels, and quality of life questionnaires. Safety is evaluated by tracking any adverse events. The primary measurement is the relative change in body weight from week 40 to week 92. The study is sponsored by Novo Nordisk AS and runs until mid-2028.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of a medicine called BI 690517 combined with empagliflozin in adults with chronic kidney disease CKD who are at risk of their kidney condition getting worse. The study includes people with or without type 2 diabetes and those who may already be taking medicines like angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors ACEi, angiotensin receptor blockers ARB, or sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors SGLT2i. The goal is to understand if adding BI 690517 can help delay worsening kidney function, hospitalizations due to heart failure, or cardiovascular death. After a run-in period where all participants take empagliflozin and other standard medications, participants are randomly assigned to receive either BI 690517 tablets or placebo tablets once daily alongside empagliflozin. The run-in period confirms that participants are stabilized on empagliflozin before randomization. The treatment phase continues for about three to four years until enough kidney or heart-related events have occurred to compare outcomes between the two groups. During the study, participants visit the study site about five times in the first six months and then every six months thereafter. At these visits, health is regularly checked through blood and urine tests, blood pressure and weight measurements, kidney function monitoring, and collection of any side effect information. The main outcome measured is the time until the first occurrence of kidney disease progression, hospitalization for heart failure, or cardiovascular death.

Researchers are observing the safety and performance of Terumo Aortic endovascular grafts used to treat patients with aortic aneurysms and other related conditions during routine clinical practice. This global, multi-center registry collects real-world data to better understand outcomes after these devices have been approved and are in use. The study is open label and includes multiple groups based on the type of aneurysm or device implanted. Participants receive one of several types of Terumo Aortic endovascular stent-grafts, including Thoracic Relay stent grafts, Abdominal Anaconda or Treo grafts, custom fenestrated devices, and Iliac artery-specific implants. These devices are CE marked or custom-made and are implanted following standard clinical procedures. The registry tracks patients treated with these devices in usual care settings without altering treatment. During the study, participants will attend follow-up visits where researchers collect safety data, patient-reported outcomes, and health economic information. Key outcomes measured include aortic-related mortality within 30 days post-implant, technical success on the day of surgery, and composite clinical success and additional endpoints at one year. The registry aims to monitor long-term performance and safety of these grafts in real-world use, with participation lasting as determined by follow-up schedules.
