Researchers are evaluating if combining the medicines calderasib and subcutaneous pembrolizumab can more effectively treat people with non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has a KRAS G12C mutation. The study aims to find out whether patients receiving calderasib with pembrolizumab live longer without their cancer growing or spreading compared to those receiving pembrolizumab with chemotherapy. This is a Phase 3 clinical trial focusing on first-line treatment for advanced or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC. Participants are assigned to one of two groups. One group receives subcutaneous pembrolizumab plus berahyaluronidase alfa every 6 weeks for up to 18 cycles about 2 years along with oral calderasib until treatment discontinuation criteria are met. The other group receives the same pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa regimen plus chemotherapy with pemetrexed and either carboplatin or cisplatin infusions during the early cycles. Treatment continues based on individual response and tolerability. During the study, participants will have regular visits for treatment and monitoring. Researchers will assess progression-free survival, overall survival, response rates, and quality of life using questionnaires and symptom scores over several years. Safety will be monitored through adverse event reporting. The trial lasts up to about 7 years with ongoing evaluation of health outcomes and side effects to understand the impact of these treatment combinations.

Researchers are studying metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer mCRPC to find new treatment options. This trial evaluates if the study medicine ifinatamab deruxtecan I-DXd or MK-2400 helps people live longer overall and experience slower cancer growth or spread compared to chemotherapy. The study is a Phase 3 trial comparing I-DXd with standard chemotherapy for mCRPC patients. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either I-DXd at 12 mgkg every 3 weeks through intravenous infusion or docetaxel chemotherapy at 75 mgm2 every 3 weeks combined with daily prednisone pills. Treatment continues until the disease progresses, unacceptable side effects occur, or treatment is stopped for other reasons. Premedication is given before each dose of I-DXd to help prevent nausea and vomiting. During the study, participants will have regular visits for treatment and monitoring. Researchers will assess overall survival and radiographic progression-free survival for up to about 36 months. Additional measures include response rates, time to pain progression, PSA progression, and adverse events. The study tracks safety, treatment effects, and quality of life over a long follow-up period to better understand the potential benefits and risks of I-DXd compared to chemotherapy.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for high-risk, early-stage breast cancer, specifically targeting two types triple-negative breast cancer TNBC and hormone receptor-low positiveHER2-negative breast cancer. These cancers are characterized by low or no HER2 protein and low hormone receptor presence. The study aims to evaluate if adding sacituzumab tirumotecan sac-TMT to pembrolizumab and chemotherapy can better reduce cancer cells in tumors and lymph nodes and improve the length of time patients live without cancer progression compared to pembrolizumab with chemotherapy alone. Participants in this trial receive one of two treatment plans. One group gets sacituzumab tirumotecan intravenously every two weeks plus pembrolizumab every three weeks for 12 weeks, followed by pembrolizumab with carboplatin and paclitaxel for another 12 weeks. After 3 to 6 weeks, surgery and optional radiation therapy take place, followed by pembrolizumab for about 28 weeks. Participants with remaining disease may receive additional treatments chosen by their doctors, including olaparib, capecitabine, doxorubicin, epirubicin, or cyclophosphamide. The other group receives chemotherapy drugs carboplatin and paclitaxel with pembrolizumab initially, then pembrolizumab with cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin or epirubicin, followed by surgery, optional radiation, and pembrolizumab for about 28 weeks, with similar additional options for residual disease. During the study, participants undergo core needle biopsies, receive intravenous infusions of study drugs, and have surgery and possible radiation therapy. Researchers assess outcomes such as the percentage of participants with no detectable cancer cells at surgery pathological complete response, event-free survival up to about 92 months, and overall survival up to nearly 10 years. Quality of life and side effects are monitored through questionnaires and adverse event tracking. The study lasts several years, with various assessments throughout treatment and follow-up periods to gather comprehensive data on treatment effects and safety.

Researchers are exploring new treatment options for neovascular age-related macular degeneration NVAMD, a condition affecting the eyes. This trial aims to compare a new medicine called tiespectus also known as MK-8748 or EYE201 with the standard treatment aflibercept to see if tiespectus works as well in treating NVAMD. The study includes adults aged 50 and older who have not previously received treatment for this condition. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups tiespectus low dose, tiespectus high dose, or aflibercept. Those in the tiespectus groups will receive three initial injections every 4 weeks, followed by injections every 8 weeks up to week 48. After week 48, treatment will continue at intervals based on individual response until week 92. The aflibercept group will receive three initial injections followed by injections every 8 weeks until week 92. During the study, participants will have their vision tested using the Best-Corrected Visual Acuity BCVA score and their eye structure examined with imaging techniques. Researchers will monitor changes in vision over one year and track any side effects up to approximately 96 weeks. Participants will attend regular visits for treatment and assessments throughout the study period lasting about 92 weeks.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer UC, a type of bladder cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery or radiation. This trial evaluates whether sacituzumab tirumotecan sac-TMT, an experimental medicine, can help people with UC who have already been treated with specific therapies live longer compared to those who receive certain non-platinum chemotherapy options. The study is a Phase 3 randomized trial comparing sac-TMT with chemotherapy drugs selected by the investigator. Participants are assigned to one of two groups one receives sacituzumab tirumotecan at a dose of 4 mgkg every two weeks by intravenous infusion until the disease worsens or side effects become unacceptable. The other group receives one of three chemotherapy drugspaclitaxel, docetaxel, or vinflunineby intravenous infusion every three weeks, also until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Rescue medications may be given as needed to manage side effects according to approved guidelines. During the study, participants undergo assessments of overall survival up to about 40 months, along with other measures such as progression-free survival, response rates, duration of response, and quality of life evaluations using questionnaires. Safety is monitored by recording adverse events and treatment discontinuations. The total study participation may last several years, with regular evaluations to understand the effects and tolerability of the treatments.

This clinical trial is a phase 2a, multinational, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study aimed at evaluating the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics PK of OMN6 in patients with hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia HABP or ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia VABP caused by the Acinetobacter baumannii complex ABC. The purpose is to identify safe and well-tolerated doses of OMN6 and understand its behavior in the body when added to standard therapies. Participants receive either OMN6 or a placebo alongside background antibiotic treatment with meropenem and colistin. OMN6 is given in three dosing cohorts 50 mg, 100 mg, or 150 mg, each administered as three 3-hour intravenous infusions on a single day, while meropenem plus colistin treatment continues for 7 to 14 days. The comparator group receives matching placebo infusions under the same schedule plus the background antibiotics. Throughout the study, participants are closely monitored for safety and the pharmacokinetics of OMN6, including measures such as maximum concentration, time to maximum concentration, area under the curve, and half-life. Safety assessments focus on the 28 days following the single-day infusion. The trial includes randomized assignment and double-blinding to ensure unbiased evaluation. The total study duration extends until primary completion in March 2027.

The trial investigates the use of EscharEx, a proteolytic enzyme gel, compared to a placebo gel in treating venous leg ulcers VLU in adults. The goal is to evaluate how well EscharEx works and how safe it is for removing dead tissue debridement and preparing the wound bed for healing. This study involves adult patients who have VLUs with specific size and duration criteria. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either EscharEx EX-03 5% formulation or a placebo gel. The treatment involves applying a gel made by mixing a sterile powder with water to the wound area. The study lasts up to 29 weeks and includes several phases a screening period, up to 8 daily visits for debridement within 2 weeks, weekly wound management visits for up to 12 weeks including wound closure confirmation, and monthly visits over 12 weeks to monitor wound closure durability. During the study, patients will undergo regular clinical assessments of the wound, including visual checks for complete debridement and wound closure, as well as evaluations of healthy tissue growth. The study measures the time taken for complete wound closure and the presence of healthy tissue. Safety and wound healing progress are closely monitored throughout the treatment and follow-up periods, ensuring adherence to the protocol and proper wound management.

Researchers are studying people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis IPF or progressive pulmonary fibrosis PPF who have previously taken nerandomilast in another study. The aim is to assess how well patients tolerate long-term treatment with nerandomilast and to evaluate whether it improves lung function and delays worsening symptoms, hospital visits, or death. This open-label extension trial is sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim and focuses on treatment over an extended period. Participants take nerandomilast tablets for up to 1 year and 10 months while continuing their usual pulmonary fibrosis treatments. The study involves a single treatment group receiving the drug, and no placebo or comparison groups. Regular visits with doctors help monitor health and collect data during this extended treatment phase. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular lung function tests and health assessments to track any adverse events and changes in lung capacity. The main outcome measured is the occurrence of any adverse events for up to about 99 weeks. Secondary outcomes include changes in forced vital capacity and time to worsening of disease symptoms or hospitalization. The study includes ongoing safety monitoring with a total participation time of up to nearly two years.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term effects of mirikizumab treatment in children and teenagers aged 2 to 19 years with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis or Crohns disease. This phase 3 study aims to assess the clinical remission rates and other health outcomes related to these conditions over an extended period. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and follows a treatment focus for pediatric participants with these inflammatory bowel diseases. Participants receive mirikizumab administered by subcutaneous injections, with doses adjusted based on their weight. There are up to six planned doses, and if needed, intravenous rescue dosing is available if a participants condition worsens. The study may include a continued access period providing additional treatment beyond the main study duration. Participants are involved for about 172 weeks, attending up to 44 visits throughout the study. Regular assessments include evaluating clinical remission using the Modified Mayo Score for ulcerative colitis and the Pediatric Crohns Disease Activity Index for Crohns disease, along with other response and remission measures. Researchers monitor laboratory tests such as C-reactive protein levels and track corticosteroid use. Safety and health status are closely observed during the study and any continued treatment periods.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis or Crohns disease under a master protocol called Study IIBD. This Phase 2 trial evaluates multiple drugs to understand their safety and effectiveness in managing these conditions. Participants will be assigned to specific sub-studies and randomized to treatment groups, with the study lasting at least 62 weeks. The study includes two treatment periods. In the first period, participants may receive mirikizumab intravenously, or a combination of the oral drug LY4395089 with intravenous mirikizumab. Those who respond to treatment will then enter a second period where they receive mirikizumab through subcutaneous injections. These steps allow researchers to assess different dosing methods and combinations of these drugs. Participants will be monitored regularly throughout the study, including screening tests and laboratory evaluations to ensure eligibility and safety. Researchers will track the number of participants allocated to each treatment group up to day 42 as a primary outcome. The study involves randomization without masking and continues until at least 62 weeks, with ongoing assessments to evaluate treatment effects and monitor health outcomes.
