Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of benralizumab, given as a subcutaneous injection, in children and adolescents aged 6 to under 18 years who have severe eosinophilic asthma. These patients have a history of asthma exacerbations and uncontrolled symptoms despite treatment with high-dose inhaled corticosteroids plus at least one other controller medication. This Phase III study aims to compare benralizumab to placebo in reducing the time to the first asthma exacerbation. The study includes a screening period lasting from 4 to 12 weeks to confirm eligibility. After screening, patients are randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either benralizumab or placebo via subcutaneous injections during a double-blind treatment period lasting a minimum of 16 weeks. This period continues until the patient experiences an asthma exacerbation or a set number of events occur. Patients who exacerbate can enter an open-label extension where all receive benralizumab for at least 48 weeks. An end-of-treatment visit occurs 8 weeks after the last dose in the extension phase. Participants will be monitored through visits and assessments including confirmation of severe eosinophilic asthma, asthma control questionnaires, and symptom diaries. Researchers will measure the time to first asthma exacerbation as the primary outcome. Medication adherence is tracked during screening, and safety is monitored throughout both the double-blind and extension periods. Total participation may span over a year, considering screening, treatment, extension, and follow-up visits.

Researchers are investigating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of combining baxdrostat with dapagliflozin compared to dapagliflozin alone in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and high blood pressure. This Phase III, international, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to see if this combination reduces risks such as significant kidney function decline, kidney failure, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death. The study includes a 4-week run-in period where participants not previously treated with SGLT2 inhibitors receive dapagliflozin alone. After this, participants are randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat plus dapagliflozin or placebo plus dapagliflozin in a double-blinded manner. Study visits occur frequently initially (at 2, 4, 8, 16, 34, and 52 weeks after randomization) and then approximately every 4 months. If participants stop the blinded treatment early, they continue dapagliflozin alone unless specific criteria require its discontinuation. Participants will undergo regular assessments including blood pressure monitoring and laboratory tests related to kidney function and cardiovascular health. The primary outcome measures the reduction in risk of major kidney and heart events over up to 37 months. Even if participants stop the study treatment, they will continue follow-up visits and data collection to ensure comprehensive safety and efficacy evaluation throughout the study duration.

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 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 the safety of the medicine eptacog alfa for stopping heavy bleeding in women after childbirth in India. This phase IV study focuses on women who have severe postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) after delivering babies at 27 weeks or later and who do not respond to uterotonics. The aim is to gather more knowledge about how safe eptacog alfa is when used in these women. During the study, participants will receive one dose of eptacog alfa through an intravenous injection. If this first dose does not stop the bleeding, an additional dose may be given. The treatment is delivered as a single intravenous bolus, and the entire study will last about 30 to 35 days. Participants will be monitored from the day of treatment (baseline) to the end of the study at day 30. Researchers will track the number of thromboembolic events during this period as a primary safety measure. Throughout the study, women will be assessed for any adverse effects and treatment response, ensuring their safety and compliance with the study protocol.

Researchers are evaluating the effect of a triple therapy inhaler called BGF MDI containing budesonide, glycopyrronium, and formoterol fumarate compared with a dual therapy inhaler called GFF MDI containing glycopyrronium and formoterol fumarate in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) who have a higher risk of heart and lung problems. This Phase III randomized, double-blind, parallel group study takes place at multiple centers and focuses on cardiopulmonary outcomes in these patients. Participants receive either the BGF MDI 320/14.4/9.6 micrograms twice daily or the GFF MDI 14.4/9.6 micrograms twice daily. The treatments are inhaled using metered dose inhalers. The study compares these two therapies over time to see how they affect the time until the first severe heart or lung event occurs. The study design ensures that neither participants nor researchers know which treatment is given to reduce bias. During the study, participants will have regular visits to the study site or virtual visits to complete assessments. Researchers will monitor lung function, symptoms, and blood tests, including blood eosinophil counts and COPD assessment test scores. The main outcome measured is the time to the first severe cardiac or COPD event, with follow-up lasting up to three years. Safety and adherence to treatment will also be closely observed throughout the study period.

Researchers are conducting a Phase 1, open-label study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and optimal biological dose of AUR108 in adult patients with relapsed advanced lymphomas. This study focuses on patients with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma who have exhausted effective local treatments and have no curative or life-prolonging options available. The trial uses a traditional 3+3 dose escalation design to evaluate AUR108 as a single oral agent. Participants will receive oral AUR108 with a schedule of dosing for 3 days followed by 4 days without dosing each week. The study includes dose escalation to determine the optimal biological dose based on safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics data. The research will monitor treatment-related adverse events and measure drug levels and effects over time. During the study, participants will undergo safety assessments including monitoring for dose-limiting toxicities and treatment-related adverse events, pharmacokinetic evaluations at specified time points, and clinical evaluations for disease response. The study duration averages about one year with ongoing safety follow-up. Researchers will collect data on adverse events, drug concentration, and patient health to evaluate the treatment's safety and dosing parameters.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of camizestrant compared to standard endocrine therapy in patients with early breast cancer that is estrogen receptor positive (ER+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-). These patients have an intermediate or high risk of cancer recurrence and have already completed local treatments such as surgery and possibly chemotherapy, alongside at least 2 years and up to 5 years of standard adjuvant endocrine therapy. The study is a Phase III, open-label trial designed to assess outcomes over a long term. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either camizestrant, an oral selective estrogen receptor degrader, or one of several standard endocrine therapies including tamoxifen, anastrozole, letrozole, or exemestane, administered according to local approved guidelines. The treatment duration for both groups is planned to last 60 months. Eligible patients may have previously used CDK4/6 inhibitors, and the study will specifically include those with intermediate or high risk of recurrence as determined by clinical and biological markers. During the study, participants will be monitored for up to 10 years from the last patient's randomization to evaluate invasive breast cancer-free survival. Additional outcomes include invasive disease-free survival, distant relapse-free survival, overall survival, safety, and clinical outcome assessments. The study involves ongoing assessments of health status, treatment effects, and safety to determine the long-term benefits and risks of camizestrant compared to standard therapies.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of adding LY3537982 (olomorasib) to standard anti-cancer drugs compared to standard treatment alone in participants with untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a specific KRAS G12C gene mutation. This pivotal Phase 3 trial includes participants with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC and considers their programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression levels. The study includes multiple parts: Dose Optimization, Part A, and Part B are randomized, while Safety Lead-In for Part B and Part C are non-randomized. Treatments being assessed include LY3537982 taken orally, pembrolizumab administered intravenously, and standard chemotherapy drugs such as cisplatin, carboplatin, and pemetrexed given intravenously. Participants receive these treatments according to their assigned groups based on their PD-L1 expression and tumor histology. Participants will be monitored with regular assessments including measuring disease progression, safety evaluations, and treatment emergent adverse events for up to approximately one year, with overall study participation potentially lasting up to three years depending on individual response and health status. Outcome measures focus on progression-free survival and safety, capturing any adverse events from the start of treatment until disease progression or death.
