Researchers are studying etavopivat, a new medicine, in children aged 12 to 16 years with sickle cell disease who have an increased risk of stroke. The trial focuses on patients with conditional or abnormal transcranial doppler TCD ultrasound results, assessing whether etavopivat is safe and helpful for these participants. The study is a Phase 2 open-label trial sponsored by Forma Therapeutics, Inc., aiming to understand the effect of etavopivat on blood flow velocities in brain arteries. Participants will be divided into two groups based on their TCD results and whether they are already taking the medication hydroxyurea. One group includes participants with abnormal or conditional TCD who are not on hydroxyurea, while the other group includes those with similar TCD results who are on a stable dose of hydroxyurea. All participants will take 400 mg of etavopivat orally once daily for 52 weeks, with the option to continue in a 48-week extension period to further monitor safety. Etavopivat is taken as two 200 mg tablets and may be taken with or without food. During the study, participants will visit the clinic frequently for monitoring. Assessments include measuring blood flow velocities in brain arteries using TCD at various time points, tracking changes in velocity categories, and monitoring safety. The study also includes evaluating blood counts and liver and kidney function. At the end of the treatment and extension periods, participants may be offered the chance to join another study to continue receiving etavopivat. Total participation can last up to about two years depending on extension and further studies.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety and effects of etavopivat, a new oral medicine being developed for inherited blood disorders such as sickle cell disease and thalassaemia. These conditions affect haemoglobin, the protein responsible for carrying oxygen in the blood. This phase 3 study involves participants who have already completed treatment in a prior etavopivat study and aims to understand how etavopivat performs over an extended period of up to 264 weeks, though the study may end earlier if the drug gains approval locally. Participants will receive oral doses of etavopivat, with different forms A, B, or C given based on their age and condition. Those aged 12 years and older will receive etavopivat A or C, while children under 12 years will receive etavopivat B. The study includes several groups covering various sickle cell disease and thalassaemia categories, including transfusion-dependent and non-transfusion-dependent cases. Treatment is continuous during the study period. Throughout the study, participants will undergo regular monitoring for side effects and treatment responses, including tracking treatment emergent adverse events, hospitalizations, vaso-occlusive crises, hemoglobin concentration changes, and blood transfusion needs. These assessments will help evaluate the drugs safety and efficacy across age groups and disease types. The study is open-label and non-randomized, with follow-up lasting up to about six years.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of a new medicine called NNC0487-0111 in people who have Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction HFpEF or Heart Failure with mildly reduced Ejection Fraction HFmrEF and excess body weight. This phase 3 clinical trial aims to find out if NNC0487-0111 is safe and effective for treating these conditions compared to a placebo. Participants have HFpEF or HFmrEF and a body mass index of 30 or above. The study is sponsored by Novo Nordisk AS and uses a randomized, quadruple-masked design. Participants will receive either NNC0487-0111 or a matching placebo by injection under the skin once a week. The NNC0487-0111 is given in increasing doses over time. The study is parallel in design, meaning participants are randomly assigned to one of the two groups and receive that treatment throughout the trial. This treatment period extends for up to about 165 weeks. The study evaluates the time to certain heart failure events, hospitalizations, cardiovascular deaths, and other major cardiovascular events. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly to assess heart failure outcomes and kidney function, as well as quality of life using questionnaires like the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire. Safety and effectiveness are assessed through hospital visits, heart failure event tracking, and blood tests including kidney function and blood sugar levels. The total participation spans over three years, with ongoing evaluations to measure the time to heart failure events and cardiovascular outcomes. Participants receive close medical monitoring throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, immune response, and consistency between different vaccine lots of BBV87, an inactivated Chikungunya virus vaccine, in healthy individuals aged 12 to 65 years. This Phase IIIII clinical trial is randomized, observer-blind, and placebo-controlled, aiming to understand how well the vaccine works and its safety profile across multiple study centers. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of three lots of the BBV87 vaccine or a placebo. Each subject will receive two doses of 40 micrograms administered as injections into the deltoid muscle of the arm, with the second dose given about 28 days after the first. Safety data will be reviewed by an independent board during the study to ensure participant protection. During the study, participants will attend visits for vaccination and follow-up assessments, including blood tests to measure antibody levels against the virus 28 days after each dose. Researchers will monitor for any adverse events for up to 11 months post-vaccination. The main outcomes measured include immune response levels and the percentage of participants who develop antibodies, along with the safety and tolerability of the vaccine.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of eloralintide in adults with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea who are also overweight or obese. This trial is structured as a master protocol called YDAO, which supports two studies YSA1 for participants who do not use or refuse Positive Airway Pressure PAP therapy, and YSA2 for those who have been on PAP therapy for at least three months and plan to continue it. The study aims to understand how eloralintide affects body weight and sleep apnea severity over time. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either eloralintide or a placebo through subcutaneous injections once weekly. The study includes two parallel groups reflecting current PAP therapy use. Treatment lasts about 64 weeks, followed by assessments. The design includes double-blinding to compare the effects between intervention and placebo groups. During the study, participants will be closely monitored for changes in body weight and apnea-hypopnea index AHI at baseline and week 64. Additional measurements include blood pressure, triglycerides, inflammation markers, sleep-related impairment scores, and glucose metabolism. Researchers will also track patient-reported outcomes, medication use, and pharmacokinetics. Participation lasts approximately 76 weeks, covering screening, treatment, and follow-up evaluations to ensure safety and collect comprehensive data.

Researchers are evaluating orforglipron to measure its effects on cardiovascular outcomes in adults aged 50 and older who have atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ASCVD andor chronic kidney disease CKD. This phase 3 study aims to compare orforglipron with a placebo to better understand its impact on major cardiovascular events over about five years. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either orforglipron orally along with standard care or a placebo orally along with standard care. The study is double-blinded, meaning neither participants nor researchers will know who receives the active drug or placebo during the trial period. During the study, participants will be followed for around five years, with researchers monitoring the time to the first major cardiovascular event and additional outcomes such as cardiovascular and kidney events, changes in kidney function measured by eGFR, and the onset of type 2 diabetes. The study includes regular assessments to track these outcomes and ensure participant safety throughout the long-term follow-up.

This research aims to evaluate how well and safely orforglipron works in adult female participants with stress urinary incontinence SUI who also have obesity or are overweight. SUI is a condition where urine leaks during activities such as coughing or exercising. The study is a Phase 3 clinical trial conducted under a master protocol supporting two independent studies, focusing on this specific population. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either orforglipron or a placebo, both given orally once daily. The study uses a double-blind design with parallel groups to compare the effects of orforglipron against placebo. The treatment period lasts approximately 52 weeks, followed by safety follow-up, making total participation about 58 weeks from screening to study completion. During the study, participants will undergo assessments including measuring changes in the frequency of incontinence episodes, body weight, quality of life related to urinary incontinence, use of continence pads, and cholesterol levels. Researchers will monitor waist circumference and patient impressions of their condition as well. Safety follow-up continues after treatment to ensure participant well-being throughout the study duration.

Researchers are evaluating the use of SNP-ACTH 1-39 Gel compared to rituximab for treating adults with primary membranous nephropathy PMN, a kidney condition. This trial uses a two-phase adaptive design to find the best dose of SNP-ACTH Gel and then assess its effectiveness against rituximab. The study is divided into Phase 3a for dose finding and Phase 3b for comparing treatments over 24 months. In Phase 3a, up to 24 patients will be randomly assigned to receive either 3 mg or 5 mg of SNP-ACTH Gel by subcutaneous injection three times a week for 12 months. Data from this phase will guide dose selection for Phase 3b. In Phase 3b, 132 patients will be randomized to receive either the selected dose of SNP-ACTH Gel for 12 months or rituximab infusions given in two cycles, one at the start and one at six months. Participants will be monitored throughout the study with regular assessments of urinary protein and auto-antibody levels during Phase 3a, and clinical responses at 24 months in Phase 3b. Researchers will track kidney function, relapse rates, immune responses, and safety outcomes. Study visits and evaluations will occur at multiple time points up to two years, supporting detailed understanding of treatment effects and patient health over time.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of tirzepatide in adult participants in India who either have type 2 diabetes or are obese or overweight without type 2 diabetes. This phase 4, open-label study aims to understand how tirzepatide works in these groups over approximately 46 weeks. Participants will receive tirzepatide administered by subcutaneous injection. The study includes one treatment arm where all participants receive this medication. Research will focus on tracking serious adverse events related to the drug, as well as changes in body weight, blood sugar control HbA1c, and waist size over the study period. During the 46 weeks of participation, individuals will have regular visits for safety monitoring and assessments. Researchers will measure serious side effects, body weight reduction, HbA1c levels for those with diabetes, and waist circumference changes. This detailed monitoring helps evaluate the drugs impact and gather safety data throughout the treatment period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and efficacy of centhaquine citrate LYFAQUIN173, a new drug for treating hypovolemic shock, a serious condition caused by severe blood or fluid loss. This phase IV, prospective, multi-center, open-label study builds on previous findings that centhaquine can improve blood pressure, reduce blood lactate levels, increase cardiac output, and reduce death rates by acting on specific adrenergic receptors to improve blood flow. Participants with hypovolemic shock aged 18 years or older and a systolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg or lower at hospital admission will receive centhaquine in addition to standard shock care. Centhaquine is given intravenously at a dose of 0.01 mgkg body weight over one hour in saline. A second dose may be given if blood pressure remains low, with a maximum of three doses in 24 hours, and treatment can continue for up to two days after enrollment. During hospitalization, participants will be closely monitored and followed until discharge or seven days after enrollment. Researchers will measure safety by tracking adverse events and serious adverse events up to seven days. They will also assess blood pressure, blood lactate, base deficit, time in intensive care, ventilator use, urine output, mortality rates, and organ function scores. Statistical analyses will compare patient outcomes to evaluate centhaquines effects.
