Researchers are evaluating whether an investigational drug called OHB-607 can prevent Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD), a common chronic lung disease, in extremely premature infants. The study compares infants receiving OHB-607 alongside standard neonatal care to those receiving standard care alone to reduce the burden of this lung condition. This is a Phase 2b, multicenter, randomized, open-label study focused on safety and clinical efficacy. Participants will receive an intravenous infusion of OHB-607 from birth until reaching a postmenstrual age (PMA) of 29 weeks and 6 days. The study includes two arms: one group receives the investigational drug plus standard care, while the other group receives only standard neonatal care. The treatment period ends at 29 weeks plus 6 days PMA, after which infants are monitored. Throughout the study, researchers will track the incidence of severe BPD or death up to 36 weeks PMA, whichever occurs first. Assessments will include clinical evaluations and monitoring for safety and any side effects. The study also involves long-term follow-up to observe the infants' health outcomes beyond the treatment period. Participation involves consent from parents and collection of birth and medical history information.

Researchers are evaluating a new treatment called ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd) for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This study compares I-DXd to chemotherapy to see if it helps people live longer overall and live longer without their cancer worsening. It is a Phase 3, open-label trial focused on patients who have progressed on prior therapies and have evidence of metastatic disease. Participants receive either I-DXd through an intravenous infusion every 3 weeks or docetaxel chemotherapy administered every 3 weeks. Prednisone tablets are also given daily as part of the treatment plan. Before each I-DXd dose, premedication is provided to help prevent nausea and vomiting using a combination of drugs such as corticosteroids and anti-nausea medicines. Treatment continues until disease progression, unacceptable side effects, or other reasons to stop. During the study, researchers monitor overall survival and how long patients live without their cancer progressing, for up to about 36 months. Participants undergo tumor tissue collection, scans, and assessments to track disease status and side effects. Safety is closely watched throughout treatment. The study includes men aged 18 and older with confirmed prostate cancer and metastatic disease who have previously received certain hormone therapies but no prior taxane chemotherapy for mCRPC.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety and effects of nerandomilast in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) who have previously completed treatment with nerandomilast in earlier studies. The study aims to understand how well participants tolerate nerandomilast over time, and whether it helps improve lung function, delays symptom worsening, reduces hospital visits, or impacts survival. This is a Phase 3 open-label extension trial. Participants take nerandomilast tablets daily for up to 1 year and 10 months while continuing their usual pulmonary fibrosis treatments. The study follows an open-label design where all participants receive nerandomilast. There are no placebo or comparator groups in this extension phase. Throughout the study, participants regularly visit their doctors for health assessments and lung function tests. Doctors monitor any health problems or side effects experienced during treatment. The main outcome measured is whether participants experience any adverse events up to the final follow-up visit, which occurs at week 99. This close monitoring helps evaluate the long-term safety and potential benefits of nerandomilast in this patient group.

Researchers are evaluating various approved injectable and oral disease-modifying treatments (DMTs) in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) in Germany. This observational, non-interventional, multicenter, open-label study collects primary data prospectively over up to four years, alongside retrospective data. The study captures medical history, disease duration, laboratory values, disability scores (EDSS), MRI results, and relapse information to provide real-world insights into treatment use and outcomes. Patients receiving routine medical treatment with any approved injectable or selected oral DMTs—including ofatumumab, glatiramer acetate, interferon 21, teriflunomide, dimethyl fumarate, and diroximel fumarate—are enrolled without treatment allocation by the study. Two cohorts are observed: one treated primarily with injectable DMTs and another with injectable or oral DMTs. The core study period lasts about two years, with an optional extension providing an additional two years of observation, totaling up to four years. Follow-up visits and monitoring happen at the investigator's discretion and may include telemedicine. During the study, participants provide data through questionnaires and electronic case report forms. Routine clinical care procedures, such as diagnostic tests and monitoring, continue as usual. Researchers measure the proportion of patients continuing their baseline treatment at 24 months and collect ongoing clinical and imaging data. The study emphasizes real-world treatment patterns, safety, and disease activity over the extended follow-up period.

Researchers are evaluating the real-world effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of ribociclib combined with an aromatase inhibitor, with or without luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) therapy, for adjuvant treatment in patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer at high risk of recurrence. The study also compares data from patients treated with abemaciclib plus endocrine therapy with or without LHRH, and those receiving endocrine monotherapy with or without LHRH. This observational study aims to understand treatment decisions and clinical use of ribociclib after its approval, collecting socio-economic data, quality of life, and patient compliance information. Participants receive treatment based on their physician's clinical judgment without study-assigned interventions. The treatments observed include ribociclib with an aromatase inhibitor LHRH, abemaciclib with endocrine therapy LHRH, or endocrine monotherapy LHRH. The study is conducted in various breast cancer centers and gynecological practices in Germany and Austria to represent local healthcare settings. Participants undergo assessments to monitor treatment effectiveness, safety, quality of life, and adherence to therapy over time. Data collected include clinical outcomes, adverse events, socio-economic status, and patient-reported compliance. The primary outcome measured is invasive disease-free survival over 36 months. This information will help inform clinical decision-making and improve outcomes for patients with early breast cancer in routine practice.

Researchers are evaluating asthma control, health-related quality of life (HRQL), lung function, and asthma medication use in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma treated with benralizumab in a real-life clinical setting in Germany. This prospective, non-interventional, single-arm, multicenter study aims to observe these outcomes over a 52-week period to better understand benralizumab's impact outside of randomized clinical trials. Patients prescribed benralizumab according to label and local reimbursement criteria will be followed for up to 52 weeks. The study will monitor asthma control using the Asthma Control Test (ACT) and the Asthma Impairment and Risk Questionnaire (AIRQ®) at various timepoints. Health-related quality of life will be assessed with the mini Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (miniAQLQ) at baseline and routine follow-up visits. Patients will also track and report their weekly asthma medication intake using either paper-based or electronic diaries throughout the study. Participants will complete questionnaires every 4 weeks and record medication intake weekly. Researchers will measure changes in ACT scores, proportions of responders, and reductions in inhaled corticosteroid doses from baseline to weeks 12, 24, and 52. Safety and health outcomes will be observed under routine clinical care. This study includes adults aged 18 to 120 years with severe eosinophilic asthma who can understand study instructions and provide informed consent.

Researchers are evaluating AZD0780, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor, in a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study to see if it can reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE-PLUS) in adults with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or those at high risk for a first ASCVD event. The study compares AZD0780 to a placebo and monitors participants from randomization until the primary analysis censoring date, followed by a final study closure visit. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either oral AZD0780 or an oral placebo once daily. The treatment period lasts until the primary analysis censoring date, after which a study closure visit will occur. The study is event-driven and designed to assess the time to the first major cardiovascular event during treatment. During the study, participants will be closely monitored with various assessments to evaluate cardiovascular outcomes and safety over approximately 54 months. Researchers will track the time to first event of any component of MACE-PLUS and collect data to assess the effect of AZD0780 compared to placebo. The study includes regular visits and evaluations to ensure participant safety and adherence to treatment.

Researchers are evaluating AZD0120, a dual-targeted CAR-T therapy against BCMA and CD19, compared to standard treatments for participants with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). This Phase III, randomized, open-label global study compares AZD0120 with established regimens including DKd (daratumumab, carfilzomib, dexamethasone), DPd (daratumumab, pomalidomide, dexamethasone), PVd (pomalidomide, bortezomib, dexamethasone), and Kd (carfilzomib and dexamethasone). The study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of AZD0120 in this patient population. Participants will receive either AZD0120 CAR-T cell therapy or one of the standard drug regimens. The treatments involve combinations of biologic and drug therapies targeting multiple myeloma. The study is designed to evaluate outcomes such as progression-free survival and minimal residual disease negativity rate over periods of up to three years. During the study, participants will be closely monitored with regular assessments to evaluate disease progression and treatment response. Researchers will track progression-free survival over three years and measure minimal residual disease negativity rates at nine months, among other safety and efficacy evaluations. Participants will have laboratory tests and clinical evaluations to ensure safety and to measure treatment effects throughout the study duration.

This research focuses on patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM) who have been treated with the T-cell redirectors teclistamab or talquetamab outside of clinical trials. The study aims to describe the clinical outcomes and safety management of these treatments in a real-world setting, analyzing how patients respond and survive after receiving these therapies. The study does not administer any new interventions but instead collects and analyzes retrospective data from medical records of patients who have received teclistamab or talquetamab. Participants are grouped based on when they received their first dose, covering different time periods up to the end of 2025. This allows the study to assess outcomes for patients treated with these drugs over several years. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor various outcomes, including overall response rates, time to response, duration of response, minimal residual disease status, overall survival, progression-free survival, and time to next treatment. Safety management during treatment is also described. Data will be collected from baseline (day 1) through up to 40 months following treatment initiation, using medical records to understand treatment effects and patient characteristics over time.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of adding LY3537982 (olomorasib) to standard anti-cancer drugs compared to standard treatment alone in participants with untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a specific KRAS G12C gene mutation. This pivotal Phase 3 trial includes participants with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC and considers their programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression levels. The study includes multiple parts: Dose Optimization, Part A, and Part B are randomized, while Safety Lead-In for Part B and Part C are non-randomized. Treatments being assessed include LY3537982 taken orally, pembrolizumab administered intravenously, and standard chemotherapy drugs such as cisplatin, carboplatin, and pemetrexed given intravenously. Participants receive these treatments according to their assigned groups based on their PD-L1 expression and tumor histology. Participants will be monitored with regular assessments including measuring disease progression, safety evaluations, and treatment emergent adverse events for up to approximately one year, with overall study participation potentially lasting up to three years depending on individual response and health status. Outcome measures focus on progression-free survival and safety, capturing any adverse events from the start of treatment until disease progression or death.
