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 evaluating how well two new study drugs, CagriSema and cagrilintide, help children and adolescents with excess body weight lose weight. This trial includes participants aged 8 to less than 18 years who have overweight or obesity. The study is designed in two parts: a main study and an extension study. The main study compares CagriSema, cagrilintide, semaglutide (an already approved drug), and placebo, with treatments assigned randomly. Participants receiving semaglutide will not continue to the extension study. The total time in the main study is about 1 year and 6 months, while those in the extension study may participate for up to about 4 years and 10 months. Participants in the main study will receive one of the four treatments by subcutaneous injection. In the extension study, participants will receive either CagriSema or cagrilintide. The study drugs are monitored closely for safety, and participants may experience side effects. The study compares these new treatments to a placebo and an existing approved drug to better understand their effects on weight management in young people. During the study, researchers will measure changes in body mass index (BMI) from baseline to week 68 as the primary outcome. Participants will undergo various assessments including laboratory tests and physical evaluations. The study tracks adherence to treatment and monitors safety throughout the study period. This comprehensive approach aims to provide detailed information about the efficacy and safety of these medications for managing weight in children and adolescents.

Researchers are conducting a Phase 1, open-label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and optimal biological dose of AUR107 in adult patients with relapsed advanced solid tumors. These tumors include non-small cell lung cancer, gastric cancer, urothelial cancer, kidney cancer, colon cancer, and esophageal cancer. Participants must have no available curative or life-prolonging treatments and have exhausted all effective local therapies. Participants will receive oral AUR107 once daily. The study uses a traditional 3+3 dose escalation design to assess safety and determine the optimal biological dose based on safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics data. The treatment period focuses on finding the best dose and assessing how the drug behaves in the body. During the study, participants will be monitored for dose limiting toxicities and treatment-related adverse events over 28 days. Researchers will evaluate pharmacokinetics parameters such as maximum concentration, time to maximum concentration, area under the curve, mean residence time, and half-life at specified days. Safety assessments, disease measurements, and tolerability will be closely followed to understand the effects of AUR107.

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 safety and effectiveness of brenipatide combined with standard care compared to a placebo with standard care in adults with schizophrenia. This phase 2 study aims to understand how well brenipatide works as an additional treatment for schizophrenia and monitor any side effects. Participants eligible for the study must have schizophrenia and be on stable standard care medication. The trial consists of three main periods: a screening period lasting about one month, a treatment period that can last up to 12 months, and a follow-up period of approximately two months. During the treatment phase, participants receive either brenipatide or placebo administered by subcutaneous injection alongside their standard care. The study includes careful monitoring and adherence to study procedures such as self-injection, keeping diaries, and completing questionnaires. Participants will be involved in regular visits and assessments throughout the entire study duration, which may last up to 15 months. Researchers will measure changes in body weight from baseline to week 52 as a primary outcome. Participants will also be monitored for safety and efficacy through ongoing evaluations, including the use of electronic or paper diaries and required questionnaires to track their progress and response to treatment.

Researchers are investigating the safety and effectiveness of eloralintide compared to a placebo in adults with persistent obesity or overweight. This includes people with or without type 2 diabetes who are already on stable weekly incretin therapy. The study is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind trial focusing on this specific group to better understand treatment outcomes. Participants will receive either eloralintide or a placebo, both given by subcutaneous injection once a week. The study compares these two treatments over the course of the trial. Participants must continue their stable incretin therapy throughout the study period. The study lasts about 80 weeks in total. Researchers will monitor changes in body weight from the start of treatment to week 64 as the main outcome. Participants will have regular assessments to track their health, safety, and treatment effects during this time.

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.

Researchers are investigating the effectiveness and safety of rilvegostomig combined with gemcitabine plus cisplatin compared to durvalumab combined with gemcitabine plus cisplatin as first-line treatments for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer, including cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder carcinoma. This is a global, phase III, randomized, open-label study focused on patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic disease who have not previously received treatment for advanced cancer. The study includes patients with known PD-L1 status and measurable tumors suitable for repeated evaluation. Participants will receive either rilvegostomig intravenously every three weeks along with gemcitabine and cisplatin given intravenously on days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle, or durvalumab intravenously every three weeks for up to eight cycles, followed by dosing every four weeks, along with the same chemotherapy regimen. Treatment is designed to evaluate first-line therapy effects, comparing these two immunotherapy combinations alongside standard chemotherapy. Throughout the study, patients will be closely monitored for overall survival, especially in those with PD-L1 expression of 1% or higher, over approximately four years. Assessments will include tumor measurements by CT or MRI using RECIST 1.1 criteria, performance status evaluations, and ongoing safety monitoring. The study aims to understand the impact of these treatments on survival and disease progression in advanced biliary tract cancer patients.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of verekitug (UPB-101) in adults with moderate-to-severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a long-term inflammatory lung condition. This global, multicenter Phase 2b study aims to understand how well verekitug works compared to a placebo, alongside participants' usual COPD medications. Participants must have a confirmed COPD diagnosis and meet specific lung function and symptom criteria to join the study. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of two doses of verekitug or a matching placebo, in addition to their regular COPD background treatments. The study includes a screening period of about 4 weeks, followed by treatment lasting between 60 and 108 weeks. After treatment, there is a 16-week follow-up period to monitor participants after their last dose. Throughout the study, participants will undergo various assessments including lung function tests and symptom evaluations. Researchers will track the annual rate of moderate or severe COPD flare-ups from the start of treatment through week 108. Safety and tolerability will be closely monitored during the treatment and follow-up periods to ensure participants' well-being over the course of the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of iberdomide maintenance therapy compared to lenalidomide maintenance therapy after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in adults with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. This phase 3 study aims to determine which maintenance treatment better supports patients following their initial transplant and induction therapies. Participants must have responded to prior treatments and undergone ASCT within specified time frames. Participants will receive either iberdomide or lenalidomide at specified doses on scheduled days as maintenance therapy after their ASCT. The study is randomized, multi-center, and open-label, meaning both participants and researchers know which treatment is given. The treatments will be administered following a standard induction therapy including proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs, and possibly monoclonal antibodies, with or without consolidation after transplant. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for progression-free survival for up to 6 years to assess how well the maintenance therapies prevent disease progression. Researchers will also evaluate safety and treatment response according to established myeloma criteria. Regular assessments will include clinical evaluations and monitoring for any signs of disease relapse or adverse effects over the long term.
