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 if adding LY3537982 olomorasib to standard anti-cancer drugs improves treatment for participants with untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has a specific KRAS G12C gene change. This Phase 3 treatment study includes participants with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC and aims to compare this combination against standard care. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and could last up to 3 years depending on individual response and disease progression. Participants receive LY3537982 orally combined with pembrolizumab given intravenously in 21-day cycles. Some groups also receive chemotherapy drugs pemetrexed and platinum cisplatin or carboplatin intravenously. There are different dose levels and combinations being tested, including placebo groups for comparison. Treatment continues until specific discontinuation criteria are met. Parts of the study are randomized and double-blinded, with some parts non-randomized for safety lead-in. During the study, participants have regular assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor response, blood tests, and questionnaires about symptoms and quality of life. Researchers monitor side effects and survival outcomes. The main measures include progression-free survival and treatment-emergent adverse events over about one year, with overall survival followed for up to three years. Participants are closely followed throughout treatment and after to evaluate the effects and safety of the study medications.
