Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab monotherapy as the first-line treatment for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer mNSCLC whose tumors express high levels of PD-L1. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, multicenter global study focuses on patients with mNSCLC without certain genetic mutations who are suitable for this treatment approach. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. The study compares these two drugs over repeated treatment cycles as first-line therapy. Both treatments are biological agents given by infusion, and the study is designed to monitor their effects over up to approximately five years. During the trial, participants will undergo regular assessments including physical exams, imaging scans such as CT or MRI to measure tumor lesions, and laboratory tests to evaluate organ function. Researchers will closely monitor overall survival, progression-free survival, treatment response, duration of response, and patient-reported outcomes on physical functioning and quality of life. Safety and immunogenicity of rilvegostomig will also be evaluated. Participants are followed and assessed for up to five years to gather comprehensive data on treatment effects and long-term outcomes.

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 studying the impact and burden of three skin conditions moderate or severe alopecia areata, non-segmental vitiligo, and moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa. The study includes adolescents and adults and aims to understand how these conditions affect quality of life and daily functioning in a large global population. This is an observational study where participants with each condition will have a single visit for data collection following routine clinical practice. No experimental treatments are given instead, the study gathers information during this one visit to assess disease characteristics and impact. During the visit, participants will complete questionnaires and clinical assessments specific to their condition. These include tools measuring symptom impact, hair loss severity, skin depigmentation, and quality of life related to each disease. This helps researchers better understand the real-world burden of these conditions. Participation involves only this one visit, with no long-term follow-up or additional procedures.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of the drugs eltrekibart and mirikizumab in adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis UC, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. This Phase 2 study aims to find out how these treatments work alone or in combination to improve UC symptoms and health. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and will last about 4 to 5 years, including screening. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of several treatments eltrekibart with a placebo, mirikizumab with a placebo, both drugs together, or placebo alone. The study is double-blinded, meaning neither the participants nor the researchers know which treatment is given to ensure unbiased results. The treatment period includes dosing with the study drugs or placebo, and participants will be monitored for safety and response. Participants will be involved in the trial for around 69 weeks, including a screening period of up to 35 days before starting treatment. Throughout the study, they will undergo assessments to measure clinical remission, response, endoscopic improvement, and quality of life using questionnaires. Blood samples will be taken to study drug levels, and researchers will monitor safety and disease activity regularly. The main outcome is the percentage of participants achieving clinical remission at Week 12, with additional measures assessed up to Week 52.

Researchers are studying the drug JNJ-88545223 to see how well it works compared with a placebo in adults who have active psoriatic arthritis PsA. This study aims to determine if JNJ-88545223 can reduce the signs and symptoms of PsA and improve the health of joints and skin. The trial is a randomized, double-blind phase 2b study designed to evaluate different doses of the drug. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of four treatments from Week 0 to Week 16 placebo, or one of three doses of JNJ-88545223. Each group will receive their assigned treatment under blinded conditions to compare the effects. The study focuses on evaluating the efficacy and safety of these doses over the 16-week treatment period. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments to measure treatment effects, including the American College of Rheumatology ACR 50 response at Week 16 as the primary outcome. Additional evaluations include skin severity indexes PASI responses, physical function questionnaires, and quality of life surveys. Safety and symptoms will be monitored throughout the trial, which lasts approximately 16 weeks for each participant.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of tulisokibart in participants with moderately to severely active Crohns disease. This program includes two studies Study 1 involves both induction and maintenance treatment phases, while Study 2 focuses only on induction treatment. The main goal is to determine if one or more doses of tulisokibart are more effective than placebo in achieving clinical remission and endoscopic response at various time points up to Week 52. Participants are randomly assigned to receive different dosing regimens of tulisokibart or placebo. These regimens include high or low doses administered intravenously followed by subcutaneous injections, or subcutaneous injections alone. Some participants may continue in an extension phase receiving subcutaneous doses after completing their original treatment arm if they meet specific requirements. The studies use a double-blind design to compare tulisokibarts effects against placebo. During the trial, participants undergo regular assessments to measure clinical remission, endoscopic response, and other health outcomes using tools like the Crohns Disease Activity Index and stool frequency with abdominal pain scores. Safety evaluations include monitoring adverse events and treatment discontinuations. The studies last up to 52 weeks for Study 1 and 12 weeks for Study 2, with multiple visits to assess treatment effects and participant health under medical supervision.
