Researchers are evaluating efruxifermin (EFX) in adults aged 18 to 80 who have compensated cirrhosis caused by nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) or metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of EFX in improving liver health and delaying disease progression in this population. The study focuses on subjects with advanced liver fibrosis (stage 4) but without liver decompensation. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either efruxifermin or a placebo, both administered by subcutaneous injection. The study includes two cohorts: Cohort 1 requires biopsy confirmation of liver fibrosis and specific metabolic features, while Cohort 2 allows biopsy or non-invasive diagnosis. Treatment and observation continue over an extended period to evaluate changes in liver fibrosis and clinical events. During the study, researchers will monitor the time until significant clinical events such as disease progression or liver decompensation occur, with a follow-up of up to five years. For Cohort 1, the proportion of participants showing improvement in fibrosis without worsening steatohepatitis will be assessed at 96 weeks. Participants will undergo regular evaluations including clinical assessments and laboratory tests to track liver function and safety throughout the study period.

Researchers are investigating the safety and effectiveness of efruxifermin in people with non-cirrhotic nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) or metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) who have moderate to advanced liver fibrosis (stage 2 or 3). This Phase 3 study is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, enrolling a total of 1650 participants in two groups to evaluate treatment outcomes. Participants will receive either efruxifermin or a placebo by subcutaneous injection. The study involves two cohorts, with Cohort 1 including patients who have biopsy-confirmed NASH or MASH and specific liver fibrosis and activity scores. The treatment period and detailed dosing schedules are not provided but the study compares the effects of the active drug against placebo. During the study, participants will be monitored for improvement in liver disease status, including resolution of NASH/MASH and at least a one-stage improvement in liver fibrosis after 52 weeks for Cohort 1. Long-term outcomes such as event-free survival will be observed over 240 weeks. Safety and efficacy assessments will be conducted throughout the study period, including evaluations of liver histology and metabolic health.

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 evaluating the safety and effectiveness of tirzepatide in adult participants in India who have either type 2 diabetes or who are obese or overweight without type 2 diabetes. This Phase 4, open-label study aims to better understand how this medication works in these populations over approximately 46 weeks. Participants will receive tirzepatide as an injection under the skin (subcutaneous administration) throughout the study period. The study includes adults with type 2 diabetes who have had the condition for at least one year and meet specific blood sugar and body mass index (BMI) criteria, as well as adults who are obese or overweight without type 2 diabetes but with certain related health conditions. This is a single-arm study, meaning all participants receive tirzepatide without comparison to another treatment. During the 46 weeks of participation, researchers will monitor participants for any serious side effects related to the medication and assess its overall safety. Participants will undergo regular evaluations including physical health assessments and laboratory tests to track the effects of tirzepatide. The primary outcome is to count the number of participants experiencing serious adverse events considered related to the study drug from the start through week 46.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of centhaquine citrate (LYFAQUIN193), a new drug designed to treat hypovolemic shock, which is a serious condition caused by severe blood or fluid loss. This phase IV, open-label, multi-center study involves adult patients aged 18 years or older who are experiencing hypovolemic shock with low blood pressure and elevated blood lactate levels. Centhaquine has shown promising results in animal models by improving blood pressure, cardiac output, and reducing mortality through its action on specific adrenergic receptors. Participants will receive centhaquine alongside standard shock treatments such as fluid resuscitation, vasopressors, and endotracheal intubation. The drug will be given intravenously at a dose of 0.01 mg/kg in 100 mL of normal saline over one hour. If blood pressure remains low, an additional dose may be given after 4 hours, with a maximum of three doses within 24 hours. Centhaquine administration can continue for up to two days after enrollment, with close monitoring throughout their hospital stay. During the study, patients will be monitored until discharge or for up to seven days from enrollment. Researchers will assess safety by tracking adverse and serious adverse events, as well as efficacy by measuring blood pressure, lactate levels, base deficit, and survival rates. Statistical analyses will compare patient outcomes, and the results will be presented with detailed data summaries to evaluate the drug's safety and benefits when added to standard care for hypovolemic shock.

Researchers are evaluating the effects and safety of AZD6793 tablets in adults aged 40 years and older who have moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This is a Phase IIb, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving approximately 1160 participants at around 400 sites worldwide. The study aims to compare three different doses of AZD6793 against placebo tablets over 24 weeks to assess how well the treatment works and its safety profile in this population. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups receiving either one of three doses of AZD6793 or a placebo in equal proportions. The treatment involves oral administration of AZD6793 tablets or placebo tablets daily for 24 weeks. The study is designed with parallel groups and includes careful dose-ranging to evaluate different levels of the investigational drug. During the study, participants will be monitored for the annualized rate of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations from baseline up to 24 weeks. Assessments include lung function tests such as pre- and post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC ratios, symptom questionnaires like the COPD Assessment Test (CAT), and documentation of COPD exacerbation history. Safety will be continually evaluated through clinical assessments and laboratory tests throughout the treatment period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of tezepelumab in adults aged 40 to 80 years with moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). These participants must have a history of COPD for at least one year and have experienced multiple COPD exacerbations despite using inhaled maintenance therapy. This Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study focuses on those who have had at least two moderate or one severe exacerbation in the prior year while on inhaled triple or dual therapy. Participants will receive monthly subcutaneous injections of either one of two doses of tezepelumab or a placebo. Treatment will last for a minimum of 52 weeks and up to 76 weeks. After the treatment period, there will be a 12-week off-treatment safety follow-up to monitor any lasting effects or safety concerns. During the study, researchers will assess the participants' lung function and monitor the annual rate of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations. Participants will undergo screening to confirm eligibility based on lung function tests, eosinophil counts, and symptom scores. Safety will be closely monitored throughout the treatment and follow-up periods to evaluate adverse effects and overall participant health.

Researchers are evaluating the safety of Somatrogon, a long-acting growth hormone, for treating pediatric growth hormone deficiency (p GHD) in children and adolescents in India. Pediatric GHD is a condition where the body produces too little growth hormone, leading to shorter height. The pituitary gland, located at the bottom of the brain, is responsible for releasing growth hormone, and its deficiency can be present at birth or develop later. Participants who have been prescribed Somatrogon will receive the treatment as injections during their routine clinical care. The study is observational and non-interventional, meaning it monitors patients already receiving Somatrogon without altering their treatment. The safety of Somatrogon will be assessed over a period of three years by tracking any side effects experienced by the participants. Participants will be followed up through clinic visits or phone calls, but clinic visits are not mandatory. Researchers will collect information on any adverse events or side effects and document them carefully. The main outcome being measured is the number of adverse events in participants over the three-year period, helping to understand the long-term safety of Somatrogon in children with p GHD.

Researchers are evaluating whether the medicine tenecteplase helps adults recover from an acute ischemic stroke when given more than 4.5 hours after they were last seen well. This study focuses on people who had a stroke caused by a clot blocking blood flow in the brain and who have imaging showing brain tissue that can still be saved. Participants should not be planning to receive a procedure to remove the clot and must have a pre-stroke disability level of 0 or 1 on the modified Rankin Scale. Participants are randomly placed into two groups. One group receives a single injection of tenecteplase into a vein, while the other group receives standard medical care. The study includes adults aged 18 and over who had an acute stroke or woke up with stroke symptoms more than 4.5 hours ago. Imaging with MRI or CT is used to confirm eligibility. The study lasts about three months, starting with a hospital stay of about one week. During the study, participants have seven clinical examinations or visits to monitor their recovery and health. The last two visits may be done from home to allow remote assessments. Researchers use the modified Rankin Scale to measure disability or dependence in daily activities at 90 days after treatment. They also monitor for any side effects or health changes to compare the effects of tenecteplase against standard care.
