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 real-world effectiveness of asciminib in adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia in the chronic phase Ph CML-CP. This observational study compares patients who are newly diagnosed or previously treated with one ATP-competitive tyrosine kinase inhibitor TKI to those treated with other TKIs. The study aims to assess tolerability, safety, and molecular response outcomes in routine clinical care. Participants are grouped into cohorts based on their treatment those receiving asciminib, those newly diagnosed treated with imatinib, and those newly diagnosed treated with second-generation TKIs such as dasatinib, bosutinib, or nilotinib. Treatment decisions are made by physicians prior to enrollment, and treatment must not have started more than 14 days before joining the study. The study follows patients over time to document treatment patterns, dose changes, interruptions, and discontinuations. Participants will attend routine follow-up visits and complete patient-reported outcome questionnaires assessing medication adherence, quality of life, and work productivity at multiple time points up to 24 months. Researchers will measure major molecular response at 12 months as the primary outcome and evaluate various secondary molecular responses, reasons for treatment changes, and quality of life scores. The study duration extends through September 2030, allowing long-term observation of treatment effectiveness and safety.

Researchers are studying metastatic colorectal carcinoma mCRC patients who have a specific BRAFV600E mutation, which is linked to poorer outcomes compared to those without it. This mutation leads to shorter survival times after initial treatments, prompting the need for new therapy combinations. This research aims to observe how the drugs encorafenib and cetuximab work together in real-world settings for patients who have already received prior systemic therapies. This non-interventional, prospective, longitudinal study focuses on patients treated with encorafenib plus cetuximab following prior systemic therapy. The study collects data on treatment effectiveness, safety, and quality of life among a broader patient population in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Patients may have started treatment up to three months before joining the study or plan to start soon, and the study observes their outcomes without influencing treatment decisions. Participants will be monitored through data collection on their disease and treatment profiles, including patient and physician assessments, adverse events, and treatment details. The main outcome measured is overall survival at 12 months after starting treatment. Additional information gathered includes treatment duration, dose intensity, interruptions, and patient-reported quality of life using questionnaires. Safety and tolerability are also evaluated throughout treatment, with follow-up averaging nine months.

This research aims to evaluate the effects of combining baxdrostat with dapagliflozin compared to dapagliflozin alone in adults aged 40 and older who have type 2 diabetes, established cardiovascular disease, a history of hypertension with a systolic blood pressure of at least 130 mmHg, and at least one additional risk factor for heart failure. The study is a phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled trial focusing on preventing heart failure events and cardiovascular death. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat with dapagliflozin or placebo with dapagliflozin. Those starting the baxdrostatdapagliflozin treatment may begin with a lower baxdrostat dose that can be increased if certain criteria are met. A run-in period with dapagliflozin alone for 4 to 6 weeks may occur for those not previously treated or treated less than 4 weeks with SGLT2 inhibitors. Treatment visits will occur at about 2, 4, 8, 16, and 34 weeks after randomization, then every 4 months until study closure. Participants will undergo screening for eligibility within a 14-day period, with an optional pre-screening phase that does not require site visits or consent. During the study, regular assessments including monitoring for heart failure events and cardiovascular outcomes will be conducted. If participants stop the blinded treatment early, they may continue with open-label dapagliflozin unless specific discontinuation criteria apply. The study will continue until a predetermined number of cardiovascular events occur, with ongoing data collection and visits according to protocol.
