Researchers are evaluating treatments for germinal center B-cell-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma GCB DLBCL, a fast-growing blood cancer affecting immature B-cells. The study compares two treatment combinations to see if more people respond to zilovertamab vedotin MK-2140 plus R-CHP versus polatuzumab vedotin plus R-CHP. This Phase 2 trial aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of these regimens in participants with newly diagnosed GCB DLBCL. Participants receive either zilovertamab vedotin along with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone R-CHP, or polatuzumab vedotin combined with R-CHP. Treatments are given by intravenous infusion on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for up to 6 cycles, approximately 4 months, with prednisone or prednisolone taken orally for 5 days of each cycle. For participants with high-risk DLBCL, up to 2 additional cycles of rituximab or biosimilar are given. During the study, participants are monitored for response to treatment using Lugano Response Criteria, with follow-up lasting up to about 31 months for the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes include progression-free survival, overall survival, event-free survival, duration of complete response, adverse events, and quality of life assessments. Safety and health status are regularly checked through exams, lab tests, and questionnaires over several years, with total study participation extending up to 7 years.

Treatment is administered by IV infusion, and the effects are compared over a period of 72 weeks. The study includes comprehensive safety and efficacy assessments throughout this period. During the 72 weeks of the study, participants will undergo various evaluations including cognitive tests such as the Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes CDR-SB, Alzheimers Disease Assessment Scales, brain imaging with PET and MRI scans, and biomarker measurements in cerebrospinal fluid and blood. Safety monitoring includes tracking adverse events, infusion reactions, and antibody development. The study requires participants to have a study partner and to complete all study procedures over this time.

Researchers are evaluating the persistence of two treatments, upadacitinib UPA and tumor necrosis factor inhibitors TNFi, in adults with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis RA. This observational study is conducted in Germany with about 678 participants across roughly 80 sites. The purpose is to compare how long participants continue their prescribed treatment under real-world conditions over time. Participants will receive either UPA or TNFi treatment as prescribed by their doctors, following local labels and standard care practices. Treatment decisions were made before joining the study and are independent of recruitment. The study will observe participants for up to 24 months to assess retention rates on these treatments. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly according to local care standards. Researchers will collect data on how long participants stay on their assigned treatment, focusing on retention rates over approximately 24 months. Study participation may last up to two years, with recruitment expected to take about 24 months, resulting in a total study duration of about 48 months.

This research aims to gather long-term safety and effectiveness information for people treated with ibrutinib, a medicine taken by mouth that blocks a specific enzyme called brutons tyrosine kinase. The study focuses on participants who previously took part in ibrutinib studies that have finished and are still receiving ibrutinib treatment, continuing to benefit from it. It is an open-label study, meaning both participants and researchers know the treatment being given. Participants will continue taking ibrutinib capsules daily at the dose they were given in their prior study until the doctor decides the treatment is no longer helpful due to disease progression or side effects, the participant chooses to stop, other treatment options become available, or the study ends. Safety will be monitored throughout, and effectiveness data may be combined with previous study results. No formal testing of hypotheses is planned in this extension. During the study, participants will be regularly monitored for safety and disease status. The main outcome is the number of participants experiencing side effects within 30 days after the last ibrutinib dose or before starting another cancer therapy. Participants may continue treatment until alternative access to ibrutinib is arranged or the study ends, which is planned for December 2029. Researchers will collect ongoing data to understand the long-term effects of ibrutinib treatment.

This research aims to observe and track growth patterns and the clinical progression of Hypochondroplasia HCH in children. It focuses on collecting various growth measurements and other relevant data over time to better understand this condition. The study is sponsored by BioMarin Pharmaceutical and involves children diagnosed with Hypochondroplasia, up to 15 years old. Participants include children confirmed to have Hypochondroplasia through genetic testing. The study is observational, meaning there are no experimental treatments involved. Children will be monitored regularly to record changes in growth and body proportions, with data collection occurring every six months over the course of the study, which may last up to 15 years. Throughout the study, children will undergo assessments every six months to measure growth velocity, height, body mass index BMI, and body segment ratios. Quality of life and severity impressions from both patients and caregivers will be evaluated annually. Researchers will also track medical events, use of growth hormone treatments, and any limb lengthening surgeries. This long-term follow-up allows for comprehensive monitoring of growth and health outcomes in children with Hypochondroplasia.

The study is non-interventional and open-label, designed to collect real-world data on treatment and disease progression over several years. It aims to understand how patients continue their baseline treatments and how these treatments impact various health and quality of life measures. Participants receive routine medical care with approved injectable or oral DMTs such as ofatumumab, interferon b21, glatiramer acetate, teriflunomide, dimethyl fumarate, or diroximel fumarate. The study includes two cohorts with up to approximately two years of prospective observation each, with an optional extension allowing up to four years total. Treatment decisions and monitoring follow the patients usual care and physicians discretion, including routine visits and telemedicine options. During the study, participants provide medical history, complete questionnaires, and have data collected on disability status, MRI findings, relapses, and laboratory tests. Researchers assess treatment continuation rates, fatigue, anxiety, depression, quality of life, lesion counts, and relapse rates at multiple time points. Safety and treatment interruptions are also documented. Follow-up is flexible and based on standard care procedures, with data collection occurring throughout the observational periods.

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 evaluating the safety and effectiveness of three different dose regimens of MORF-057, a small molecule drug, in adults with moderately to severely active Crohns disease CD. This Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study aims to compare these doses with a matching placebo during an induction treatment period. The study includes adult participants who have active symptoms of CD and have not adequately responded to other treatments. Participants will first undergo a 14-week induction period where they receive either one of the three blinded MORF-057 dose regimens or a matching placebo, all taken orally. Following this, all participants enter a 38-week maintenance period receiving open-label MORF-057. Those who complete this 52-week treatment phase may have the chance to continue treatment for an additional 52 weeks during a long-term extension. MORF-057 is designed to selectively inhibit integrin 47. During the study, participants will have their disease activity monitored using endoscopic assessments and clinical symptom scores, such as the Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohns Disease SES-CD and the Crohns Disease Activity Index CDAI. Researchers will assess the proportion of participants showing endoscopic response and clinical remission at Week 14. Safety and adherence will be closely followed throughout the treatment and extension phases. The entire study spans up to 6 years, allowing for long-term evaluation.

Researchers are evaluating AZD0780, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor, in a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study. This trial focuses on patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ASCVD or those at high risk for a first ASCVD event. The study aims to assess how AZD0780 compares to placebo in reducing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, also known as MACE-PLUS, over the course of the trial. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either oral AZD0780 once daily or a matching placebo once daily. The study continues until a primary analysis censoring date, which may be up to approximately 54 months from randomization. After this, a study closure visit will be conducted as the final visit for each participant. During the study, participants will be regularly monitored for cardiovascular events including heart attacks, strokes, urgent coronary revascularizations, and other related outcomes. Researchers will track the time to first occurrence of these events as the primary outcome. Safety and other secondary outcomes like all-cause mortality will also be assessed. The total participation time can last up to about 54 months, with ongoing evaluations throughout this period.
