Researchers are evaluating the safety, effectiveness, optimal dose, and behavior of an investigational drug called BNT326, alone or combined with other immunotherapy agents, in adults with advanced solid tumors. This study includes patients with tumors that have either spread metastatic, returned after treatment, or progressed despite previous therapies, across various cancer types such as melanoma, lung cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and cervical cancer. Participants are divided into two parts Part 1 tests BNT326 alone in different tumor-specific groups, some with dose randomization to find optimal dosing. Part 2 evaluates BNT326 alone or combined with another investigational drug called pumitamig in several cancer types, with some groups receiving randomized doses and others non-randomized treatments. Treatments are given via intravenous infusion, with some oral medications combined in Part 1. The study includes dose escalation and randomization phases, and treatment can continue for up to 24 months or until disease progression or other reasons. During the study, participants undergo screening, treatment, safety follow-up, efficacy follow-up, and long-term survival monitoring phases. Researchers assess adverse events, treatment responses, disease progression, and drug behavior in the body using clinical evaluations and laboratory tests. Follow-up assessments occur up to approximately 38 months for Part 1 and 48 months for Part 2, with continued treatment possible for those benefiting from the therapy. The study aims to gather comprehensive data on safety, dosing, and effectiveness in this patient population.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, tolerability, and therapeutic effects of BNT113 combined with pembrolizumab compared to pembrolizumab alone as a first-line treatment for patients with unresectable recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma HNSCC positive for human papilloma virus 16 HPV16 and expressing the protein PD-L1 with a combined positive score of 1 or higher. This is an open-label, multi-site, Phase IIIII clinical trial consisting of two parts an initial safety run-in phase and a randomized phase. In the safety run-in phase Part A, patients receive BNT113 in combination with pembrolizumab to confirm safety and tolerability at selected dose levels. The randomized phase Part B compares BNT113 combined with pembrolizumab against pembrolizumab monotherapy. Treatments are given by intravenous injection or infusion and continue for up to 24 months. An optional pre-screening phase allows tumor samples to be tested for HPV16 DNA and PD-L1 expression before the main trial screening. Participants will be closely monitored throughout the study. Assessments include safety evaluations, tumor response, and survival outcomes such as overall survival and progression-free survival. Tumor tissue samples must be provided for testing. Researchers will measure treatment-emergent adverse events, response rates, duration of response, and disease control. The study may last up to 48 months, with ongoing safety and efficacy monitoring during and after treatment.

Researchers are evaluating BGB-16673, an oral drug, in adults with various types of B-cell malignancies such as marginal zone lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Waldenstrm macroglobulinemia, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and Richters transformation. This study includes Phase 1 dose finding and safety expansion, followed by Phase 2 expansion cohorts to determine recommended doses and further assess safety and efficacy. The study is divided into several parts, starting with Phase 1 dose escalation to find safe dosage levels, including monotherapy dose escalation and safety expansion in selected doses. Phase 2 involves expansion cohorts where participants receive the recommended doses identified in Phase 1 for further safety and efficacy evaluation. Some cohorts include participants who have not received prior BTK inhibitors, and Japanese participants are also enrolled to assess safety. Treatments are orally administered. Participants will undergo regular assessments including monitoring for adverse events, disease response, and drug concentration levels in the blood at various time points. Researchers will measure outcomes such as overall response rate and progression-free survival over approximately three years. Safety and tolerability will be closely tracked, and quality of life questionnaires will be completed at scheduled intervals. Participation may last several years, including follow-up periods to monitor long-term effects.

Researchers are studying how well the medicine zasocitinib works, how safe it is, and how children and teenagers aged 4 to under 18 with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis respond to it. The study is divided into two parts Part A includes both children and teenagers, while Part B includes only children. Initially, only teenagers who meet the study requirements can participate, with children joining after sufficient information is collected from other studies. Participants in Part A will be randomly assigned to receive either zasocitinib or a matching placebo daily for the first 16 weeks, followed by open-label zasocitinib treatment until the study ends. In Part B, all children will receive zasocitinib throughout the study. The treatment doses for children will be based on their weight, and adolescents will receive a fixed dose. The study lasts up to 4 years and 2 months, including screening, treatment, and safety follow-up periods. During the study, participants will visit the study site multiple times for assessments. Researchers will measure improvements in skin condition using tools like the Static Physicians Global Assessment and Psoriasis Area and Severity Index at Week 16 and throughout the open-label period. Safety and drug levels in the body will also be monitored. After treatment, there is a 4-week safety follow-up. Overall, participants will be involved for up to 217 weeks, including screening, treatment, and follow-up.

Researchers are conducting a 10-year global, multi-center observational study to better understand the safety profile of pegvaliase, a treatment for Phenylketonuria PKU. The study focuses on monitoring hypersensitivity reactions, long-term safety, tolerability, and the effectiveness of risk minimization measures used in the European Union. Both new users starting pegvaliase within 30 days of enrollment and those who have already been receiving pegvaliase can participate. Participants in this study will not receive any experimental treatments or undergo special procedures as part of the trial. Instead, their usual pegvaliase treatment and clinical care will continue as normal. Information about their medical history, pegvaliase use, other medications, and safety concerns such as allergic reactions and injection site issues will be collected by their primary physicians. Safety events will be reviewed periodically by an independent committee. Participants are followed according to routine clinical practice, with clinical outcomes assessed regularly, typically monthly during initial treatment phases and every six months during maintenance. The study measures risks of specific safety events over up to 10 years of pegvaliase treatment in a real-world setting. There are no mandatory study visits, and all data collection is based on regular medical care visits.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term effects of mirikizumab treatment in children and teenagers aged 2 to 19 years with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis or Crohns disease. This phase 3 study aims to assess the clinical remission rates and other health outcomes related to these conditions over an extended period. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and follows a treatment focus for pediatric participants with these inflammatory bowel diseases. Participants receive mirikizumab administered by subcutaneous injections, with doses adjusted based on their weight. There are up to six planned doses, and if needed, intravenous rescue dosing is available if a participants condition worsens. The study may include a continued access period providing additional treatment beyond the main study duration. Participants are involved for about 172 weeks, attending up to 44 visits throughout the study. Regular assessments include evaluating clinical remission using the Modified Mayo Score for ulcerative colitis and the Pediatric Crohns Disease Activity Index for Crohns disease, along with other response and remission measures. Researchers monitor laboratory tests such as C-reactive protein levels and track corticosteroid use. Safety and health status are closely observed during the study and any continued treatment periods.

Researchers are evaluating whether retatrutide and tirzepatide can prevent major adverse liver outcomes in adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease MASLD who are at high risk based on non-invasive tests. This Phase 3 randomized controlled trial aims to assess these treatments compared to placebo in about 4,500 adults over approximately 224 weeks. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and focuses on liver disease progression and related health measures. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive retatrutide, tirzepatide, or placebo, all administered by subcutaneous injection. The trial includes two placebo groups corresponding to each experimental drug. After completing the main study, eligible participants may join a 2-year extension where all will receive either retatrutide or tirzepatide regardless of their initial assignment. During the study, participants may attend around 25 to 30 clinic visits for health monitoring, study procedures, and assessments of liver function and disease status. Researchers will measure the time to major adverse liver outcomes, changes in liver fibrosis scores, liver stiffness, liver fat content, liver enzyme levels, body weight, and cardiovascular events. Monitoring will continue from baseline through study completion, with detailed evaluations at multiple timepoints including week 104.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of elecoglipron, an oral tablet taken once daily, for weight management in adults with obesity or overweight. This Phase III global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial includes two independent pivotal studies one in adults without type 2 diabetes T2DM and the other in adults with T2DM, all having at least one weight-related health condition. The goal is to understand how elecoglipron compares to placebo when combined with diet and exercise. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either one of two doses of elecoglipron or a matching placebo daily. Study 1 involves about 3000 adults living with obesity or overweight without T2DM, while Study 2 involves about 1500 adults with obesity or overweight and T2DM. Both studies last 72 weeks, during which changes in body weight and other health measures will be monitored. During the trial, participants will undergo regular health assessments including measurements of body weight, waist circumference, blood sugar control, blood pressure, and other related health indicators. Researchers will track percent change in body weight from baseline at 72 weeks as the primary outcome. Participants will be monitored closely throughout the study to assess safety and effectiveness of the treatment in managing weight and associated health conditions.

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 efficacy and safety of fosmanogepix, given either intravenously or orally, for treating adult patients diagnosed with invasive mold infections. This Phase 3 trial compares fosmanogepix to the standard antifungal therapies. The study mainly aims to assess all-cause mortality by Day 42 and includes patients both receiving primary therapy and those receiving salvage treatment after prior therapies failed or were not tolerated. Participants are assigned to one of two cohorts Cohort A, where patients receive either fosmanogepix or the best available standard antifungal treatment, and Cohort B, where patients receive only fosmanogepix as salvage therapy. Fosmanogepix is administered via IV infusion or oral tablets. The treatment phase targets 84 days but can be extended up to 180 days, followed by a follow-up period. During the study, participants undergo various assessments including mortality evaluation at Day 42, clinical and radiological response checks, laboratory tests, neurological exams, ECG monitoring, and plasma drug level measurements at multiple time points. Safety is closely monitored throughout the study and follow-up, which together may last approximately 8 months. Researchers will track adverse events and overall treatment success over this period.
