Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab, both combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, as initial treatments for patients with metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) whose tumors express PD-L1. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, global study focuses on patients whose tumors meet the PD-L1 expression threshold of 1% or higher and do not have certain genetic mutations or rearrangements that would require other targeted therapies. Participants receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab intravenously on the first day of each 21-day treatment cycle. Both groups also receive platinum-based chemotherapy drugs such as carboplatin or cisplatin, administered intravenously up to four cycles, along with pemetrexed given intravenously on Day 1 of each cycle. The study monitors these treatments as first-line therapy for metastatic non-squamous NSCLC. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor size and response, as well as evaluations of organ and bone marrow function. Researchers track overall survival and progression-free survival for up to approximately five years. Safety is closely monitored throughout, and patients are followed long-term to assess outcomes related to treatment effectiveness and tolerability.

This is a Phase III, two-arm, randomized, double-blind, global, multicenter study assessing the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab, both in combination with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, as a first-line (1L) treatment for patients with squamous metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) whose tumors express PD-L1 (tumor cells (TC) ≥ 1%).

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 the safety and effectiveness of three different doses of MORF-057 in adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD). This Phase 2 study is randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and conducted at multiple centers. It aims to compare MORF-057 to placebo to see how well it works in reducing disease activity and symptoms in this patient population. Participants will first go through a 14-week induction period where they receive one of three doses of MORF-057 or a matching placebo, all given orally. After this, all participants will enter a 38-week maintenance phase where they receive open-label MORF-057. Those who complete these 52 weeks of treatment may continue in a 52-week long-term extension to further monitor treatment effects and safety. Throughout the study, participants will have evaluations to assess their response to treatment using endoscopic scoring at Week 14. Researchers will monitor safety, symptom changes, and disease activity over the full treatment and extension periods. Study visits will include assessments, questionnaires, and clinical monitoring to track participants' health and treatment adherence over time.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of two combined treatments, KarXT and KarX-EC, for adults aged 55 to 90 who experience agitation related to Alzheimer's Disease. This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to better understand how these treatments may help reduce agitation symptoms in this population while monitoring safety. Participants will receive either the active drugs Xanomeline/Trospium Chloride Capsule and Xanomeline Enteric Capsule or a placebo, taken at specified doses on designated days. The study is carefully designed to compare these treatments against placebo to evaluate their impact on agitation symptoms associated with Alzheimer's Disease. During the study, participants will be assessed using the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory-International Psychogeriatric Association (CMAI-IPA) total score to measure changes from baseline at Week 14. Caregivers will be involved to help monitor compliance and report participant status throughout the study. Safety and efficacy will be closely monitored during this 14-week period to gather detailed information about treatment outcomes.

This trial investigates the safety and effectiveness of rilvegostomig combined with fluoropyrimidine and trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) compared to trastuzumab, chemotherapy, and pembrolizumab in adults with HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma whose tumors express PD-L1 with a combined positive score of 1 or higher. Additionally, rilvegostomig combined with trastuzumab and chemotherapy is studied separately to understand each component's contribution. This Phase 2, randomized, open-label, global study is conducted at 200-250 sites in about 25 countries. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three arms: Arm A receives rilvegostomig, fluoropyrimidine, and T-DXd; Arm B receives trastuzumab, chemotherapy, and pembrolizumab; Arm C receives rilvegostomig, trastuzumab, and chemotherapy. Treatments are administered mostly by intravenous infusion every three weeks, with capecitabine given orally twice daily. The study compares these treatment regimens to evaluate their effects on the cancer. Throughout the study, participants undergo assessments including tumor measurements, organ function tests, and heart function evaluation to ensure safety and monitor disease progression. The main outcomes measured are progression-free survival and overall survival for up to approximately six years. Researchers will also monitor adverse events and overall health status during and after treatment.

Researchers are evaluating the safety of enfortumab vedotin in Indian adults with advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer, a type of cancer affecting the bladder lining and related urinary tract areas. This phase 4, open-label study focuses on patients whose disease has progressed despite prior treatments, including checkpoint inhibitors and platinum-based chemotherapy. The goal is to confirm the safety of enfortumab vedotin specifically in this patient population. Participants will receive enfortumab vedotin through intravenous infusion. Treatment is administered in cycles of 28 days, with three separate infusions given in each cycle. The study is single-arm, so all participants receive the investigational treatment without a comparator group. This approach allows close monitoring of safety and adverse events during the treatment period. During and after treatment, participants will visit the study clinic multiple times for health assessments. Researchers will monitor adverse events, laboratory test results, vital signs, electrocardiograms, and performance status scores over several months. These evaluations help determine the treatment's safety profile and its impact on patients' health throughout the study period.

This research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of BMS-986504, a selective PRMT5 inhibitor, when combined with Nab-paclitaxel and Gemcitabine, compared to a placebo combined with Nab-paclitaxel and Gemcitabine. The study focuses on participants with untreated metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) who have a specific genetic alteration called homozygous MTAP deletion. This is a randomized Phase 2/3 trial designed to explore treatment options for this patient population. Participants will be assigned to receive either BMS-986504 at specified doses on certain days along with Nab-paclitaxel and Gemcitabine, or a placebo with the same chemotherapy drugs. The treatments are given according to protocol schedules. Some participants may have received up to one cycle of Nab-paclitaxel and Gemcitabine before starting the study treatment, provided they did not experience disease progression or intolerable side effects. The initial cycle must be completed before randomization. During the study, researchers will monitor participants for progression-free survival and overall survival for up to three years after the last participant is randomized. Assessments include measuring tumor response using established criteria (RECIST v1.1). Participants will undergo evaluations to track safety, treatment effects, and disease status throughout the trial period.

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.
