Researchers are evaluating insulin icodec, a once-weekly insulin injection, compared to insulin glargine, a once-daily injection, in adults with type 1 diabetes. The study aims to see how well weekly insulin icodec controls blood sugar levels compared to daily insulin glargine when both are combined with insulin aspart. This phase 3 study will last about 26 weeks, or roughly 8.5 months. Participants will receive either insulin icodec or insulin glargine, both given as subcutaneous injections. All participants will also use insulin aspart as a subcutaneous injection. The study compares these two insulin regimens to assess their effects on blood sugar control over the 26-week period. During the study, researchers will monitor changes in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from the start of the study to week 26. Participants will follow the study protocol including self-measured plasma glucose profiles. Safety and efficacy will be evaluated throughout the treatment period to understand the impact of the insulin regimens on blood sugar control and participant health.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of eloralintide, a drug given by injection, in adults who are obese or overweight but do not have type 2 diabetes. This Phase 3 study includes both a main phase and an extension phase to understand the drug's impact on body weight and overall health in this population. The study aims to compare eloralintide with a placebo to see how well it works in reducing weight. Participants will receive either eloralintide or a placebo, both administered under the skin once a week. The main study phase will last about 75 weeks, during which participants will be regularly monitored. Those participants who have prediabetes will have the option to continue into an extension phase lasting an additional 2 years to further assess long-term effects. During the study, participants will have their body weight measured at the start and throughout the trial, with the primary outcome being the percent change in body weight at week 64 compared to baseline. Researchers will also monitor safety and any side effects. Participants will be asked about their weight history and health conditions, and they must maintain stable body weight before joining. The total involvement time for most participants will be about 75 weeks, with longer follow-up for some.

This trial investigates the effectiveness of Pumitamig compared to Pembrolizumab in adults with advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) who have not received prior treatment and whose tumors express PD-L1 at 50% or higher. The study targets individuals with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC, focusing on those with measurable disease and good performance status. It is a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind study designed to compare these two treatments as first-line options for this patient group. Participants will receive either Pumitamig or Pembrolizumab at specified doses on scheduled days. The treatments are given as monotherapy, meaning each participant receives only one of these drugs throughout the study. The study does not mention additional treatment phases or extensions, focusing on the direct comparison of these two drugs for initial treatment. Throughout the study, researchers will assess how long participants live without their cancer worsening, using standardized criteria over about three years. Overall survival will also be tracked for up to five years. Participants will be monitored regularly to evaluate their response to treatment and overall health. Safety and effectiveness outcomes will be gathered through medical assessments consistent with clinical trial standards for NSCLC.

Researchers are studying the safety and effects of an investigational medicine called PF-08653944 in adults who are overweight or have obesity along with type 2 diabetes. This condition involves carrying too much body weight and having high blood sugar levels. The study is a phase 3, multi-center, randomized placebo-controlled trial that aims to evaluate the medicine's ability to help with weight loss and monitor its safety. Participants will receive either the study medicine or a placebo by weekly injections under the skin in the belly area. About two-thirds of participants will get the study medicine, while one-third will receive the placebo. Participants will be trained to administer the injections themselves at home. The study will last about 21 months and includes up to 14 visits to the study site and 5 phone calls. During the study, participants will be closely monitored through visits and phone contacts. Researchers will measure changes in body weight from the start to week 64 to evaluate effectiveness. The study will also include assessments of safety and treatment effects over the entire duration. Participants need to perform finger-stick glucose monitoring as required and follow the study procedures throughout the trial.

Researchers are investigating whether the medicine vicadrostat, when taken together with empagliflozin, can lower the risk of heart-related problems in adults who have type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease but no history of heart failure. This study is a Phase III trial that compares the effects of vicadrostat plus empagliflozin to a placebo plus empagliflozin in people with these conditions. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group takes vicadrostat and empagliflozin tablets, and the other group takes placebo tablets that look like vicadrostat along with empagliflozin. All participants take one tablet daily for a period ranging from two and a half years up to four years and three months. Throughout the study, participants continue their usual medications for diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. During up to 51 months of participation, participants visit the study site regularly where doctors collect health information and blood samples. Researchers track when participants experience cardiovascular events such as heart-related deaths or heart failure events. The study also monitors participants’ overall health and any side effects they may experience to assess the safety and effects of the treatments.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of once-weekly injectable MET097 in adults who have obesity or are overweight with related weight complications, but who do not have type 2 diabetes. This phase 3, multi-center randomized controlled trial aims to understand how well MET097 works and how safe it is over a long period. The study will last 84 weeks, with the primary effectiveness measured after 64 weeks of treatment. Participants will receive either MET097 or a placebo, both given once a week by subcutaneous injection. The study compares these two groups to assess the impact of MET097 on weight and related health issues. The treatment period is followed by continued monitoring to evaluate longer-term effects up to 84 weeks. During the study, participants' body weight changes will be carefully tracked from the start through week 64, which is the main outcome measure. Additional health assessments will occur through the 84-week duration to monitor safety and overall responses. Participants will be supported and monitored regularly to assess the medication's impact and any side effects throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating maridebart cafraglutide, a drug given as an addition to standard care, to see if it reduces heart-related problems and deaths better than a placebo in people with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease who are overweight or obese. This phase 3 study focuses on cardiovascular events such as heart attacks, strokes, and deaths related to heart conditions, aiming to improve outcomes in this high-risk population. Participants will receive either maridebart cafraglutide or a placebo, both administered by injection under the skin. The study compares these two groups over a period of up to approximately 35 months, monitoring heart-related health events to assess the drug's impact. The placebo group will receive injections that look identical but contain no active drug, ensuring a double-blind study design. During the study, participants will be regularly evaluated for major cardiovascular events, including heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and death. Researchers will track the time until these events occur to measure the drug's effectiveness. Safety and health will be closely monitored throughout the study period, and participants will be followed for up to nearly three years to gather comprehensive data on cardiovascular outcomes and overall survival.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of baxdrostat combined 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 systolic blood pressure of at least 130 mmHg at screening, and at least one additional risk factor for heart failure. This Phase III randomized, placebo-controlled, event-driven study aims to determine if the combination reduces the risk of heart failure events or cardiovascular death, with follow-up lasting up to 38 months. Participants who meet screening criteria but are not currently treated with SGLT2 inhibitors or have been treated for less than 4 weeks will enter a run-in period receiving dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily for 4 to 6 weeks before randomization. The study involves random assignment to either baxdrostat plus dapagliflozin or placebo plus dapagliflozin. Site visits occur at approximately 2, 4, 8, 16, and 34 weeks after randomization, then every 4 months. Participants discontinuing the blinded study drug may continue open-label dapagliflozin, with ongoing visits and data collection as per protocol. Participants will undergo an optional pre-screening period without site visits or consent to help identify eligibility, followed by up to 14 days of formal screening after informed consent. Researchers will monitor heart failure events and cardiovascular deaths as primary outcomes. Safety and adherence will be tracked throughout the study, including during any premature discontinuation of blinded treatment. The study will conclude when a predetermined number of secondary endpoint events have occurred, with continued follow-up as needed.

Researchers are studying severe asthma through the German Asthma Net e.V., which focuses on improving medical care and understanding of this condition. Since there is limited reliable data on how often severe asthma occurs, its characteristics, and treatment patterns, this clinical registry collects detailed information from patients across Germany. The aim is to better characterize severe asthma by gathering data from multiple clinics and practices, helping to optimize diagnosis and treatment over time. Participants in this registry have their sociodemographic details and medical information recorded, including diagnosis, therapy, lung function, laboratory values like IgE and eosinophil granulocytes, asthma symptoms, medication use, smoking status, and additional treatments. This data is collected at a baseline visit and then annually for up to 15 years. Each participant receives a unique study ID to protect privacy, with personal and health data stored securely on separate servers. During the study, patients will be regularly monitored for asthma symptom control, with assessments at baseline, four months, and yearly thereafter for up to 15 years. Researchers will track symptoms, medication use, exacerbations, lung function, and laboratory markers to better understand severe asthma's course and treatment outcomes. This long-term follow-up aims to improve care by providing robust data on severe asthma patients.

Researchers are collecting real-world data on the use of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) in patients diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma, a type of cancer affecting the lining of the lungs. This study focuses on patients who have a clinical indication for TTFields treatment as determined by their treating physician. The goal is to understand how TTFields is used in routine clinical care and to observe patient outcomes over time. All participants will receive standard medical care alongside TTFields treatment delivered by the NovoTTF-200T System, a medical device used according to its instructions and medical guidelines. Patients included in the study will have pleural mesothelioma that cannot be cured with surgery and will be treated in usual clinical settings without additional experimental interventions. Participants will be followed to measure the median overall survival time from diagnosis until death from any cause, tracked over a period of 54 months. Enrollment requires informed consent for data collection and processing. The study includes patients aged 18 and older with a life expectancy of more than three months at enrollment. Safety and effectiveness data will be gathered as part of routine care and central data processing for research.
