Researchers are evaluating elritercept TAK-226, KER-050, an investigational drug, for treating anemia in adults with very low, low, or intermediate risk myelodysplastic syndromes MDS who need regular red blood cell RBC transfusions. The study is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to assess how well elritercept reduces the need for RBC transfusions and to evaluate its safety and tolerability over time. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 21 ratio to receive either elritercept or a matching placebo, both given as subcutaneous injections every 4 weeks. The study includes a Primary Phase lasting 24 weeks and a Secondary Phase lasting an additional 24 weeks, during which participants continue their assigned treatments. Eligible participants may also enter an Extension Phase to continue treatment until individual discontinuation or study unblinding. After treatment ends, a Safety Follow-Up Period of 8 weeks and a long-term follow-up lasting up to 5 years will monitor participants. During the study, participants will have visits approximately every 2 weeks initially, then every 4 weeks, to assess treatment effects and safety. Researchers will evaluate the percentage of participants achieving transfusion independence and monitor adverse events, laboratory values, vital signs, and heart tests. Long-term follow-up will continue through regular check-ins for up to five years or until the participant withdraws or the study ends.

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.

This study evaluates the long-term safety and tolerability of pelacarsen TQJ230 in people with established cardiovascular disease and elevated Lipoproteina who completed a previous related study. It is an open-label extension trial, meaning all participants receive the study drug without placebo comparison. The trial is sponsored by Novartis Pharmaceuticals and focuses on continued treatment after the completion of the parent study. Participants receive monthly injections of pelacarsen 80 mg subcutaneously for up to 36 months during this extension phase. This phase is designed to provide access to the study drug after the initial trial and to monitor participants closely. The study does not involve randomization or blinding, and all enrolled participants receive the active drug. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including monitoring for adverse events and cardiovascular events, as well as measuring Lipoproteina levels at baseline and several time points over 36 months. Safety and tolerability will be closely tracked throughout the treatment period. The total duration of participation corresponds to the length of the extension phase, up to three years.

Researchers are examining the effect of abelacimab compared to a placebo in patients with atrial fibrillation AF who are considered unsuitable for oral anticoagulation therapy. This Phase 3 study focuses on high-risk patients with AF to evaluate whether abelacimab can reduce the occurrence of ischemic stroke or systemic embolism. The study is led by Anthos Therapeutics, Inc. and aims to address treatment options in patients where traditional anticoagulation is deemed inappropriate. Participants are randomly assigned in equal numbers to receive either abelacimab 150 mg or a matching placebo by subcutaneous injection once a month. The study consists of three periods a screening period lasting up to 60 days, a double-blind treatment period that continues until at least 111 patients experience a primary endpoint event, and an end-of-treatment visit. Following this, participants may enter a 30-day follow-up or an optional open-label extension to receive abelacimab, depending on eligibility and regulatory approval. During the study, participants undergo assessments to monitor stroke, systemic embolism, and bleeding events, with the primary outcomes measured up to 30 months. Safety is tracked by recording bleeding events classified by the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium. Secondary outcomes include cardiovascular and all-cause mortality and other thrombotic events. The study also involves regular monitoring and follow-up visits to assess efficacy and safety throughout the treatment and observation periods.
