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 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 AZD0780, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor, in a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study to see if it can reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE-PLUS) in adults with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or those at high risk for a first ASCVD event. The study compares AZD0780 to a placebo and monitors participants from randomization until the primary analysis censoring date, followed by a final study closure visit. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either oral AZD0780 or an oral placebo once daily. The treatment period lasts until the primary analysis censoring date, after which a study closure visit will occur. The study is event-driven and designed to assess the time to the first major cardiovascular event during treatment. During the study, participants will be closely monitored with various assessments to evaluate cardiovascular outcomes and safety over approximately 54 months. Researchers will track the time to first event of any component of MACE-PLUS and collect data to assess the effect of AZD0780 compared to placebo. The study includes regular visits and evaluations to ensure participant safety and adherence to treatment.

Researchers are investigating whether ziltivekimab can treat people living with heart failure and inflammation. The study compares ziltivekimab, a new medicine not yet approved anywhere, to a placebo, an inactive substance that looks like the medicine but contains no active drug. Participants have an equal chance of receiving either treatment. The study is expected to last up to one year and four months and focuses on people with heart failure who also have systemic inflammation. Participants will receive either ziltivekimab or placebo by monthly injections under the skin. The doses are given once a month throughout the study period. The study lasts for 12 months of treatment following randomization, during which the effects of the medicine compared to placebo will be closely monitored. During the study, participants will undergo various assessments including a heart failure questionnaire called the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) to measure symptoms and physical function over the 12 months. Other evaluations may include walking tests and heart function tests. Safety and health will be monitored regularly to understand how participants respond to the treatments and to track any side effects or changes in heart failure symptoms.

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 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 Saruparib (AZD5305) compared to placebo when added to a standard radiation therapy (RT) and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) regimen in men with high-risk and very high-risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer who have a BRCA gene mutation. This phase III study aims to assess whether Saruparib can improve metastasis-free survival in this population. About 700 adult male participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Saruparib or placebo along with ADT. There are two groups: Cohort A includes 400 participants with newly diagnosed high-risk or very high-risk prostate cancer treated with primary RT or with high-risk biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy receiving salvage RT. Cohort B includes 300 participants with very high-risk locally advanced prostate cancer receiving primary RT combined with ADT and abiraterone. Saruparib and placebo will be given orally, and standard ADT and abiraterone with prednisone/prednisolone will be administered as per the regimen. Participants will be followed for up to about 93 months to monitor metastasis-free survival and overall safety. Assessments include imaging scans like CT, MRI, bone scans, and PSMA-PET to confirm disease status. The study also monitors organ function, performance status, and treatment adherence. An independent committee will review safety and efficacy data throughout the trial to ensure participant well-being and study integrity.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of orforglipron, taken once daily, in people who are overweight or have obesity and also suffer from knee osteoarthritis with pain. This phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial aims to understand how well orforglipron works over about 74 weeks. The study is part of a larger master protocol supporting two independent studies focused on this condition and population. Participants will receive either orforglipron or a placebo, both administered orally. The study compares these two groups in a parallel-arm design to assess treatment effects. The trial includes a long treatment and observation period lasting about 74 weeks to monitor changes and safety outcomes. Throughout the study, participants will be assessed for changes in their knee pain using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Pain Subscale, measured at the start and at week 72. Researchers will also monitor the participants' safety and overall health during the trial. The participation duration is approximately 74 weeks, including screening, treatment, and follow-up visits.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of the drug orforglipron compared with a placebo on cardiovascular outcomes in adults who have atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and/or chronic kidney disease (CKD). This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to investigate major adverse cardiovascular events over a long period. Participants will receive either orforglipron or a placebo orally. The study is event-driven and will continue until the occurrence of major cardiovascular events or up to about 5 years. The treatments are administered without revealing to participants which group they are in to ensure unbiased results. During the study, participants will be monitored for the time to the first occurrence of a major cardiovascular event. Researchers will collect data from baseline through the end of the study, which lasts approximately 5 years. Regular assessments will help evaluate the safety and effects of the treatments on cardiovascular health in this population.

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.
