The trial investigates the use of volrustomig in participants with unresected locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) who have not shown disease progression after receiving definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT). The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of volrustomig compared to observation in this patient population. Participants have tumors that express PD-L1 and the study is conducted as a Phase III, randomized, open-label, multi-center global trial. Participants are assigned to receive either volrustomig as sequential therapy following cCRT or to an observation group. The treatment period involves monitoring participants who have completed definitive cCRT but remain unresected and have no evidence of metastatic disease. The study focuses on participants with Stage III, IVA, or IVB LA-HNSCC according to AJCC criteria, who have not undergone tumor resection before cCRT and have not been treated with radiotherapy alone. During the study, participants are regularly evaluated for progression-free survival, with follow-up lasting up to approximately 8 years to assess long-term outcomes. Researchers will monitor safety and disease progression closely. The overall participation duration includes screening, treatment or observation, and extended follow-up to capture both efficacy and safety data over time.

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 the effectiveness and safety of Datopotamab Deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) with or without durvalumab compared to the investigator's choice chemotherapy combined with pembrolizumab in patients who have PD-L1 positive locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). This Phase III, randomized, open-label, international study aims to see if adding durvalumab to Dato-DXd can help patients live longer without their cancer worsening or simply live longer compared to standard chemotherapy with pembrolizumab. The study also examines how the treatments and cancer impact patients' quality of life. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: Dato-DXd plus durvalumab, Dato-DXd alone, or investigator's choice chemotherapy (paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, or gemcitabine plus carboplatin) combined with pembrolizumab. All treatments are given by intravenous infusion. The study design includes stratification based on geographic location, disease-free interval history, and prior PD-1/PD-L1 treatment for early-stage TNBC. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor their disease status using RECIST 1.1 criteria and undergo imaging reviewed by blinded independent central review. Researchers will track progression-free survival, quality of life, safety, and other health measures over an anticipated period of up to 33 months. Participants must provide tumor samples for PD-L1 testing, and safety monitoring will continue throughout the study.

Researchers are investigating how CDR132L, a potential new medicine, affects the structure and function of the heart in people living with heart failure with reduced or mildly reduced ejection fraction and left ventricular hypertrophy. This Phase 2 study compares CDR132L to a placebo, where participants receive either treatment randomly. The study aims to evaluate changes in a specific biomarker, microRNA-132-3p, over 24 weeks, with the total study duration lasting about 60 weeks. Participants will receive either CDR132L or a placebo through an intravenous infusion once every 4 weeks for a total of 48 weeks. The treatments are given under a double-blind design, meaning neither the participants nor the researchers know who receives which treatment until the study ends. This allows for a fair comparison of the effects of CDR132L versus placebo on heart structure and function. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including laboratory tests to measure heart-related biomarkers and imaging tests such as echocardiography to monitor heart structure and function. Researchers will track changes from baseline to week 24 in microRNA-132 levels and continue monitoring participants through the 60-week study period to evaluate safety and treatment effects. Ongoing clinical evaluations and safety checks will help ensure participant well-being throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating how CDR132L, a potential new medicine, affects the structure and function of the heart in people living with heart failure who have preserved ejection fraction and left ventricular hypertrophy. This phase 2 study compares different doses of CDR132L with a placebo, which is an inactive treatment. The study aims to understand the safety and effectiveness of CDR132L in reversing heart remodeling in this population. Participants will receive either CDR132L or placebo administered intravenously once every 4 weeks. The study treatment period lasts about 24 weeks, followed by additional assessments leading up to a total study duration of approximately 60 weeks. The study is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives the active treatment or placebo during the main phase. During the study, participants will undergo various evaluations including heart imaging via echocardiography to measure heart function and structure, laboratory tests including NT-proBNP levels, and monitoring of heart failure symptoms. The main outcome measured is the change in normalized microRNA-132-3p levels from baseline to week 24. Researchers will also monitor safety and treatment effects throughout the study, which includes regular visits and assessments over the full 60-week period.

Researchers are investigating whether ziltivekimab can treat people living with heart failure and inflammation. The study compares ziltivekimab, a new medicine not yet approved anywhere, to a placebo, an inactive substance that looks like the medicine but contains no active drug. Participants have an equal chance of receiving either treatment. The study is expected to last up to one year and four months and focuses on people with heart failure who also have systemic inflammation. Participants will receive either ziltivekimab or placebo by monthly injections under the skin. The doses are given once a month throughout the study period. The study lasts for 12 months of treatment following randomization, during which the effects of the medicine compared to placebo will be closely monitored. During the study, participants will undergo various assessments including a heart failure questionnaire called the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) to measure symptoms and physical function over the 12 months. Other evaluations may include walking tests and heart function tests. Safety and health will be monitored regularly to understand how participants respond to the treatments and to track any side effects or changes in heart failure symptoms.

Researchers are evaluating ziltivekimab as a treatment for people living with heart failure and inflammation. This Phase 3 study compares ziltivekimab to a placebo in participants with heart failure who have mild to preserved ejection fraction and systemic inflammation. The study aims to assess the effect of ziltivekimab on cardiovascular death, heart failure hospitalization, or urgent heart failure visits over a period of up to 4 years. Participants will receive monthly injections of either ziltivekimab or a placebo using a pre-filled syringe or a pen-injector. The study medication is administered subcutaneously once a month for up to 4 years. The trial includes up to 20 clinic visits during which participants will be monitored and assessed. During the study, participants will use a study app on their phone to record all injections and complete questionnaires. Researchers will monitor participants for key outcomes like cardiovascular events and heart failure episodes from the time of randomization until the end of the study. Safety and health status will be regularly evaluated throughout the study period, which may last up to 48 months.

Researchers are evaluating efruxifermin (EFX) in adults aged 18 to 80 who have compensated cirrhosis caused by nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) or metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of EFX in improving liver health and delaying disease progression in this population. The study focuses on subjects with advanced liver fibrosis (stage 4) but without liver decompensation. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either efruxifermin or a placebo, both administered by subcutaneous injection. The study includes two cohorts: Cohort 1 requires biopsy confirmation of liver fibrosis and specific metabolic features, while Cohort 2 allows biopsy or non-invasive diagnosis. Treatment and observation continue over an extended period to evaluate changes in liver fibrosis and clinical events. During the study, researchers will monitor the time until significant clinical events such as disease progression or liver decompensation occur, with a follow-up of up to five years. For Cohort 1, the proportion of participants showing improvement in fibrosis without worsening steatohepatitis will be assessed at 96 weeks. Participants will undergo regular evaluations including clinical assessments and laboratory tests to track liver function and safety throughout the study period.

Researchers are investigating the safety and effectiveness of efruxifermin in people with non-cirrhotic nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) or metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) who have moderate to advanced liver fibrosis (stage 2 or 3). This Phase 3 study is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, enrolling a total of 1650 participants in two groups to evaluate treatment outcomes. Participants will receive either efruxifermin or a placebo by subcutaneous injection. The study involves two cohorts, with Cohort 1 including patients who have biopsy-confirmed NASH or MASH and specific liver fibrosis and activity scores. The treatment period and detailed dosing schedules are not provided but the study compares the effects of the active drug against placebo. During the study, participants will be monitored for improvement in liver disease status, including resolution of NASH/MASH and at least a one-stage improvement in liver fibrosis after 52 weeks for Cohort 1. Long-term outcomes such as event-free survival will be observed over 240 weeks. Safety and efficacy assessments will be conducted throughout the study period, including evaluations of liver histology and metabolic health.

Researchers are evaluating the anti-tumor activity of amivantamab combined with pembrolizumab and carboplatin compared to pembrolizumab, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and platinum therapy (carboplatin or cisplatin) in participants with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). This trial focuses on participants who have not received prior systemic treatment in the recurrent/metastatic setting. HNSCC is a type of cancer affecting the outer tissue layer of the mouth and throat and other head and neck regions. Participants will receive either amivantamab added to pembrolizumab and carboplatin or the standard care regimen of pembrolizumab, 5-FU, and a platinum agent (carboplatin or cisplatin). 5-FU will be given as an infusion over a 4-day period. The study is a phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter trial comparing these treatment combinations. During the study, researchers will monitor overall survival and the objective response rate using standard tumor evaluation criteria for up to about 3 years and 7 months. Participants will undergo assessments to measure disease response, including imaging and other evaluations, to track how well the treatments work. Safety and side effects will also be monitored throughout the trial period.
