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 the safety and effectiveness of combining durvalumab and domvanalimab compared to durvalumab plus placebo in adults with locally advanced (Stage III), unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease has not worsened after definitive platinum-based concurrent chemoradiation therapy. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, international study involves multiple centers. Participants receive intravenous infusions of durvalumab and domvanalimab or durvalumab and placebo. The treatments are given after patients have completed concurrent platinum-based chemotherapy and radiation therapy with a total radiation dose of approximately 60 Gy. The study monitors patients over time to assess treatment effects and safety. During the study, participants undergo evaluations including tumor tissue analysis for PD-L1 status, performance status assessments, and monitoring of organ and marrow function. The main outcome measured is progression-free survival up to 8 years after randomization. Researchers also monitor for any adverse effects and disease progression throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating whether the drugs retatrutide and tirzepatide can prevent major adverse liver outcomes (MALO) in adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) who are at high risk. This Phase 3 trial enrolls about 4,500 adults with MASLD identified by non-invasive tests indicating an increased likelihood of developing serious liver problems. The study aims to understand how these treatments might affect liver health over time compared to a placebo. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either retatrutide, tirzepatide, or a placebo, all given by subcutaneous injection. The study will last approximately 224 weeks, during which participants may attend 25 to 30 clinic visits for monitoring and assessment. After the main study, eligible participants can join an optional 2-year extension where all will receive either retatrutide or tirzepatide regardless of their original group. Throughout the trial, participants’ liver function and disease progression will be closely monitored through various health assessments. Researchers will track the time to the first major adverse liver event as the main outcome. Safety and health status will be evaluated regularly during clinic visits, ensuring thorough observation over the long study period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and performance of the Polymer Free Sirolimus Eluting Coronary Stent Vivo ISAR in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). This prospective, observational registry includes patients who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using this stent and are planned for a short dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) regimen lasting up to 3 months. The aim is to assess clinical outcomes in a real-world population across multiple countries and centers. Participants receive the Vivo ISAR stent and follow standard care with a short DAPT treatment of no more than 3 months after PCI. The study does not influence the choice of device or treatment beyond routine care. After the procedure, patients who meet eligibility criteria and provide consent are enrolled and observed over time without additional interventions. Participants will be followed up through routine clinical practice and telephone calls at 30 days, 3 months, and 12 months after PCI. These follow-ups collect information on ongoing medications, any lab tests performed, adverse events, and any further interventions. The main outcomes measured at 12 months include ischemic events and bleeding events related to the treatment and stent use.

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 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 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 safety and effectiveness of finerenone compared to a placebo in patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure who have mildly reduced or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. This international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial aims to understand how finerenone affects morbidity and mortality in this patient group. Participants will receive either oral finerenone or a matching oral placebo. The study focuses on patients currently hospitalized or recently discharged with heart failure symptoms and specific heart function measures. The trial is event-driven and will continue for up to approximately 30 months to collect sufficient data on outcomes. During the study, researchers will monitor the total number of heart failure events and cardiovascular deaths, as well as track serious adverse events and any adverse events that lead participants to stop the study drug. These ongoing assessments will help evaluate the overall safety and impact of the treatment over the duration of the trial.

Researchers are evaluating whether ziltivekimab can help people who were hospitalized due to a heart attack by potentially reducing the development of heart disease and preventing new heart attacks or strokes. This Phase 3 study compares ziltivekimab with a placebo, which is a dummy medicine that has no effect on the body. Both treatments are given by chance, with equal likelihood for participants to receive either ziltivekimab or placebo. Participants will inject the study medicine once a month under the skin in the stomach, thigh, or upper arm. Ziltivekimab is given as an initial loading dose followed by monthly maintenance doses. The placebo group receives a matching injection schedule. The study duration is about two years. During the study, researchers will monitor participants for the time until the first serious heart-related event, including cardiovascular death, non-fatal heart attack, or non-fatal stroke. Participants will be closely observed from the start of randomization up to 25 months. The study includes regular follow-ups to assess safety and effectiveness of the treatments throughout this period.

This research investigates the effectiveness and safety of combining capivasertib with CDK4/6 inhibitors and fulvestrant in adults with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer that is locally advanced, inoperable, or metastatic. It includes a Phase Ib dose-finding portion to establish safe dosages for the triple combination, followed by a Phase III study comparing this combination to CDK4/6 inhibitors plus fulvestrant alone. The study focuses on patients who have not received prior endocrine therapy for advanced disease and aims to assess added benefit in a high-risk population. During Phase Ib, participants receive capivasertib orally twice daily for 4 days followed by 3 days off each week, combined with fulvestrant injections and one of the CDK4/6 inhibitors (palbociclib, ribociclib, or abemaciclib) at varying doses to find the recommended dose for Phase III. In Phase III, participants are randomized to receive capivasertib plus fulvestrant and a CDK4/6 inhibitor at the established dose or fulvestrant plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor alone, with dosing schedules maintained over 28-day cycles. Participants undergo regular monitoring including scans for tumor assessment, blood tests, and safety evaluations over extended periods—up to 47 months for progression-free survival assessment. Researchers track adverse events, serious side effects, and treatment tolerability throughout. Mandatory tumor and blood samples are collected for biomarker analysis. The study evaluates key outcomes such as dose-limiting toxicities, treatment-related adverse events, and progression-free survival, supporting long-term safety and effectiveness evaluation.
