Safety and health status will be regularly evaluated throughout the study period, which may last up to 48 months.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and immune response of BBV87, an inactivated Chikungunya virus vaccine, in healthy individuals aged 12 to 65 years. This seamless Phase II/III clinical trial aims to study the vaccine's immunogenicity, safety, and consistency across different production lots. The study involves approximately 1000 participants randomized regardless of their prior exposure to Chikungunya virus. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 3:3:3:1 ratio to receive one of three lots of the BBV87 vaccine or a placebo. Each participant will receive two doses of the vaccine or placebo, with each vaccine dose containing 40 micrograms of the inactivated virus. The study is observer-blind, and safety data will be reviewed by an independent board after Day 56 to ensure participant protection. During the study, participants will undergo assessments to measure antibody levels 28 days after the second vaccine dose. Researchers will monitor immune responses, including the percentage of participants who develop antibodies and the consistency of antibody levels across vaccine lots. Safety evaluations will be ongoing throughout the trial to assess any adverse effects or concerns related to the vaccine. The total participation period includes vaccination and follow-up visits up to Day 56.

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of two different dose schedules of pegozafermin compared to a placebo in adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) who have liver fibrosis at stage F2 or F3. This phase 3 study focuses on improving liver fibrosis and steatohepatitis in this patient group, which involves chronic liver disease associated with metabolic dysfunction. Participants will receive either pegozafermin or a placebo through subcutaneous injections. The study compares two doses of pegozafermin to assess their impact on liver fibrosis and steatohepatitis. The treatment period lasts up to 52 weeks, with outcomes measured at this time point. During the study, participants will be monitored for improvements in liver fibrosis and resolution of steatohepatitis without worsening fibrosis by week 52. Researchers will also track the time until any disease progression occurs, up to 5 years. Throughout the trial, safety and efficacy will be carefully assessed through clinical evaluations and laboratory tests to ensure participant well-being.

The main aim of this study is to check how safe brentuximab vedotin is in adults with untreated Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) when given together with doxorubicin (Adriamycin), vinblastine and dacarbazine therapy ('AVD'). Another aim is to learn how well treatment of brentuximab vedotin plus AVD works. All participants will receive brentuximab vedotin plus AVD for approximately 6 months. Participants will undergo tests like Echocardiography (ECHO) and pulmonary function testing (PFT) during the study. ECHO is a test that uses ultrasound to show how the heart muscle and valves are working; PFT is a test to check how well a participant's lungs work. Each participant will undergo a final health status check 2 months after the last treatment with brentuximab vedotin plus AVD.

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.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of tirzepatide in adult participants in India who have either type 2 diabetes or who are obese or overweight without type 2 diabetes. This Phase 4, open-label study aims to better understand how this medication works in these populations over approximately 46 weeks. Participants will receive tirzepatide as an injection under the skin (subcutaneous administration) throughout the study period. The study includes adults with type 2 diabetes who have had the condition for at least one year and meet specific blood sugar and body mass index (BMI) criteria, as well as adults who are obese or overweight without type 2 diabetes but with certain related health conditions. This is a single-arm study, meaning all participants receive tirzepatide without comparison to another treatment. During the 46 weeks of participation, researchers will monitor participants for any serious side effects related to the medication and assess its overall safety. Participants will undergo regular evaluations including physical health assessments and laboratory tests to track the effects of tirzepatide. The primary outcome is to count the number of participants experiencing serious adverse events considered related to the study drug from the start through week 46.

Researchers are evaluating how well etavopivat works to reduce the number of vaso-occlusive crises (painful blood vessel blockages) in adolescents and adults living with sickle cell disease. The study also aims to assess if etavopivat can decrease organ damage, improve exercise tolerance, and reduce fatigue. This is a global Phase 3 study involving participants aged 12 years and older with confirmed sickle cell disease. The study is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled to ensure accurate evaluation of the treatment effects. Participants will receive either etavopivat or a matching placebo by mouth. Which treatment they receive is determined randomly. The study will last about two years, during which participants will take the assigned medication and be monitored closely. Etavopivat is an investigational drug currently under evaluation in multiple studies for sickle cell disease. During the study, participants will have regular assessments including documentation of vaso-occlusive crisis events, blood tests, and physical evaluations. Researchers will track the number of crises that require medical attention over a 52-week period, as well as measures of organ health, exercise ability, and fatigue. Safety and overall health will be monitored throughout the study, with the total participation time lasting approximately two years.

This study is open to adults aged 18 or above legal age with heart failure. People can join the study if they have heart failure symptoms and a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 40% or more. The purpose of this study is to find out whether vicadrostat (BI 690517) in combination with empagliflozin helps people with heart failure. Participants are put into 2 groups by chance. Every participant has an equal chance of being in each group. The groups are: * Vicadrostat/empagliflozin group: participants take vicadrostat/empagliflozin as tablets once a day. * Placebo/empagliflozin group: participants take placebo/empagliflozin as tablets once a day. Participants can stay in the study as long as they benefit from treatment and can tolerate it. During this time, they visit their doctors regularly. The doctors regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects. The study staff may also contact the participants by phone. Participants also regularly answer questions about their well-being. The study does not have a fixed duration. It continues until there is enough data to see if the treatment is working.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety and tolerability of adjunctive KarXT, a combination of xanomeline and trospium chloride, in adults aged 18 to 65 with schizophrenia who did not have sufficient symptom control with their current antipsychotic medications. This Phase 3, open-label extension study involves participants who previously completed the treatment period of the ARISE study (KAR-012). The goal is to monitor how well patients tolerate KarXT over an extended period while assessing related safety concerns. Participants receive fixed doses of KarXT capsules twice daily, with doses ranging from 50 mg/20 mg up to 125 mg/30 mg. The study lasts for 52 weeks as an outpatient program. This open-label extension allows researchers to observe the effects and safety of KarXT when added to stable antipsychotic treatment under real-world conditions. During the study, researchers closely monitor participants for any treatment-emergent adverse events from the initial dose through a safety follow-up visit at 54 weeks or early termination. Participants will undergo regular assessments, including clinical evaluations and reports from reliable caregivers who assist with study activities. The study ensures participants maintain stable living situations and continue their background antipsychotic medications throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating the use of non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) compared to no anticoagulation in people who have experienced transient atrial fibrillation episodes triggered by stress and have additional risk factors for stroke. This multinational, investigator-initiated Phase 4 trial aims to prevent stroke and other serious cardiovascular events in this group by assessing the effects of NOACs on two main outcomes: the occurrence of non-hemorrhagic stroke or systemic embolism, and a combination of vascular death and other major cardiovascular problems, over a follow-up period lasting until the last participant reaches 24 months of observation. Participants in the study are randomly assigned to either receive one of several NOAC medications—edoxaban, apixaban, dabigatran, or rivaroxaban—with dosing adjusted as needed and chosen by their prescribing doctor, or to receive no oral anticoagulation. The treatment continues throughout the follow-up period. The trial is open-label, meaning both researchers and participants know which treatment is given. The study specifically focuses on patients who had transient atrial fibrillation related to stress, such as after certain surgeries or acute medical illness. During the study, participants undergo regular monitoring to track the incidence of stroke, embolism, vascular death, heart attacks, blood clots, and other cardiovascular events. Researchers collect information over up to two years to evaluate these outcomes. Safety and adherence to treatment are also monitored. This thorough follow-up helps determine the impact of NOAC treatment compared to no anticoagulation in this particular patient population.
