Researchers are evaluating camizestrant against standard endocrine therapy for patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer who have an intermediate or high risk of disease recurrence. These patients must have completed locoregional therapy and at least 2 to 5 years of standard adjuvant endocrine therapy. The study is a Phase III open-label trial focused on improving outcomes for these patients over a long-term period. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either camizestrant orally or continue with the standard endocrine therapy chosen by their investigator, which may include aromatase inhibitors exemestane, letrozole, anastrozole or tamoxifen. Treatment in each group lasts for 60 months. The study allows prior use of CDK46 inhibitors and includes a follow-up period extending up to 10 years from the last patient randomization. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments to monitor invasive breast cancer-free survival and other outcomes such as invasive disease-free survival, distant relapse-free survival, overall survival, and safety. Researchers will also evaluate symptoms like joint pain, hot flushes, and vaginal dryness using specific scales, along with quality of life measures and pharmacokinetics. Safety monitoring continues up to 28 days after the last dose, and participants remain under observation for up to 10 years total.

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 trial is for adults who have had an acute ischemic stroke caused by a blood clot blocking a brain vessel. It focuses on people whose stroke occurred or was discovered more than 4.5 hours ago, including those who woke up with stroke symptoms. The study aims to find out if the medicine tenecteplase helps recovery when given after this 4.5-hour window, compared to standard medical care. Tenecteplase is already used within 4.5 hours after stroke onset, but this study tests its effect when given later. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups one receives a single injection of tenecteplase into a vein, and the other receives the usual standard treatment. Both groups have an equal chance of receiving either treatment. The study lasts about three months, starting with approximately one week of hospital stay. During the study, participants have seven clinical examinations or visits, with the final two visits conducted remotely from home to allow for easier participation. Throughout the study, doctors regularly assess participants recovery using a scale that measures disability and dependence in daily activities. They also monitor overall health and record any side effects. The main outcome measured is the level of recovery 90 days after treatment, comparing the two groups. This includes neurological improvement, bleeding events, and survival over the study period.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of a medicine called BI 690517 combined with empagliflozin in adults with chronic kidney disease CKD who are at risk of their kidney condition getting worse. The study includes people with or without type 2 diabetes and those who may already be taking medicines like angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors ACEi, angiotensin receptor blockers ARB, or sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors SGLT2i. The goal is to understand if adding BI 690517 can help delay worsening kidney function, hospitalizations due to heart failure, or cardiovascular death. After a run-in period where all participants take empagliflozin and other standard medications, participants are randomly assigned to receive either BI 690517 tablets or placebo tablets once daily alongside empagliflozin. The run-in period confirms that participants are stabilized on empagliflozin before randomization. The treatment phase continues for about three to four years until enough kidney or heart-related events have occurred to compare outcomes between the two groups. During the study, participants visit the study site about five times in the first six months and then every six months thereafter. At these visits, health is regularly checked through blood and urine tests, blood pressure and weight measurements, kidney function monitoring, and collection of any side effect information. The main outcome measured is the time until the first occurrence of kidney disease progression, hospitalization for heart failure, or cardiovascular death.

Neonatal encephalopathy causes a high number of infant deaths and lifelong disabilities in low and middle-income countries. Unlike high-income countries where cooling therapy is used in intensive care, such treatment is rarely available in these regions due to resource limitations and safety concerns. Erythropoietin, a drug with neuroprotective and regenerative properties, has shown promise as a single therapy for newborns with this condition in smaller studies, supporting the need for a larger trial to evaluate its safety and effectiveness. This trial evaluates erythropoietin monotherapy compared with a placebo injection in newborns with moderate or severe neonatal encephalopathy in low and middle-income countries. Babies will receive intravenous or subcutaneous erythropoietin at a dose of 500 units per kilogram, starting within 6 hours of birth and continuing daily for a total of 9 doses over 8 days. The control group will receive mock injections. The trial includes monitoring and maintaining normal body temperature and uses brain imaging techniques between 1 to 2 weeks of age. Participants will be followed for 18 months after treatment to assess survival and disability outcomes. Researchers will collect data through clinical exams, brain scans, and hospital records to monitor neurological development, safety, and adverse events. The primary outcome is the number of babies who die or survive with moderate or severe disability by 18 to 22 months. The study includes an initial pilot phase and plans for data analysis after follow-up completion.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of LY4268989 combined with mirikizumab compared to mirikizumab alone in adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. This phase 2 study aims to understand if the combination can better manage the condition. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and involves a randomized, double-blind design with parallel groups. Participants receive either LY4268989 orally along with mirikizumab given intravenously and then subcutaneously, or mirikizumab with a placebo pill matching LY4268989. Responders to treatment will be re-randomized for a second study period. Treatment lasts approximately 104 weeks with up to 21 visits planned throughout the study. During the study, participants undergo assessments including clinical remission evaluation using the modified Mayo Score at weeks 12, 24, and 48, endoscopic improvement, and symptomatic remission measurements. Safety and response are closely monitored through scheduled visits. Overall participation lasts about 118 weeks, allowing researchers to gather long-term data on the treatments being studied.
