Researchers are evaluating treatments for germinal center B-cell-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma GCB DLBCL, a fast-growing blood cancer affecting immature B-cells. The study compares two treatment combinations to see if more people respond to zilovertamab vedotin MK-2140 plus R-CHP versus polatuzumab vedotin plus R-CHP. This Phase 2 trial aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of these regimens in participants with newly diagnosed GCB DLBCL. Participants receive either zilovertamab vedotin along with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone R-CHP, or polatuzumab vedotin combined with R-CHP. Treatments are given by intravenous infusion on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for up to 6 cycles, approximately 4 months, with prednisone or prednisolone taken orally for 5 days of each cycle. For participants with high-risk DLBCL, up to 2 additional cycles of rituximab or biosimilar are given. During the study, participants are monitored for response to treatment using Lugano Response Criteria, with follow-up lasting up to about 31 months for the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes include progression-free survival, overall survival, event-free survival, duration of complete response, adverse events, and quality of life assessments. Safety and health status are regularly checked through exams, lab tests, and questionnaires over several years, with total study participation extending up to 7 years.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of a new medicine called NNC0487-0111 in people who have Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction HFpEF or Heart Failure with mildly reduced Ejection Fraction HFmrEF and excess body weight. This phase 3 clinical trial aims to find out if NNC0487-0111 is safe and effective for treating these conditions compared to a placebo. Participants have HFpEF or HFmrEF and a body mass index of 30 or above. The study is sponsored by Novo Nordisk AS and uses a randomized, quadruple-masked design. Participants will receive either NNC0487-0111 or a matching placebo by injection under the skin once a week. The NNC0487-0111 is given in increasing doses over time. The study is parallel in design, meaning participants are randomly assigned to one of the two groups and receive that treatment throughout the trial. This treatment period extends for up to about 165 weeks. The study evaluates the time to certain heart failure events, hospitalizations, cardiovascular deaths, and other major cardiovascular events. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly to assess heart failure outcomes and kidney function, as well as quality of life using questionnaires like the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire. Safety and effectiveness are assessed through hospital visits, heart failure event tracking, and blood tests including kidney function and blood sugar levels. The total participation spans over three years, with ongoing evaluations to measure the time to heart failure events and cardiovascular outcomes. Participants receive close medical monitoring throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating orforglipron to measure its effects on cardiovascular outcomes in adults aged 50 and older who have atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ASCVD andor chronic kidney disease CKD. This phase 3 study aims to compare orforglipron with a placebo to better understand its impact on major cardiovascular events over about five years. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either orforglipron orally along with standard care or a placebo orally along with standard care. The study is double-blinded, meaning neither participants nor researchers will know who receives the active drug or placebo during the trial period. During the study, participants will be followed for around five years, with researchers monitoring the time to the first major cardiovascular event and additional outcomes such as cardiovascular and kidney events, changes in kidney function measured by eGFR, and the onset of type 2 diabetes. The study includes regular assessments to track these outcomes and ensure participant safety throughout the long-term follow-up.

Hidradenitis suppurativa HS is a painful inflammatory skin condition affecting areas like the underarms, groin, and genital regions. This trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of upadacitinib, an oral drug approved for other inflammatory diseases, in adults and adolescents with moderate to severe HS who have not responded well or cannot tolerate anti-TNF therapies. The study is double-blinded and involves multiple treatment periods to assess disease activity and side effects. Participants will take oral tablets of either upadacitinib or a placebo once daily during the first two periods, each lasting 36 weeks. In Period 1, participants are randomly assigned to receive either upadacitinib or placebo. Period 2 assigns participants to one of six groups based on their response in Period 1, with treatment continuing for 20 weeks. In Period 3, eligible participants continue their assigned treatment for an additional 68 weeks, followed by a 30-day follow-up. Throughout the study, participants will attend regular outpatient visits where medical assessments will monitor treatment effects and side effects. Questionnaires and clinical evaluations will be completed to measure changes in disease activity and quality of life. The trial aims to track the percentage of participants achieving clinical response and the occurrence of adverse events over the entire study duration, which may be longer than standard care treatments.

Non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC is a disease where cancer cells grow uncontrollably in lung tissues. This trial aims to compare the investigational drug telisotuzumab vedotin with docetaxel to see which works better and to assess the safety of telisotuzumab vedotin in adults with previously treated NSCLC that overexpresses the c-Met protein. The study is a Phase 3 global trial involving about 768 participants at around 330 sites. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either telisotuzumab vedotin by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks or docetaxel by intravenous infusion every 3 weeks. Treatment continues until specific criteria for stopping the study drug are met. After the study concludes, those who benefit may have access to continued treatment through extensions or rollover studies. During the trial, participants will attend regular visits at hospitals or clinics for medical assessments, blood tests, and side effect monitoring. Questionnaires will be completed to assess physical functioning and quality of life. Researchers will measure outcomes like progression-free survival and overall survival over up to about 39 months, with some secondary outcomes assessed up to approximately 58 months.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of TAR-210 compared to investigators choice of intravesical chemotherapy in people with intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer IR-NMIBC who have specific FGFR mutations or fusions. This Phase 3 randomized study aims to compare disease-free survival between these treatment options, with the goal of understanding which may better prevent recurrence or progression of the cancer. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. Group A receives TAR-210, which is inserted into the bladder on Day 1 and removed after 12 weeks, with one insertion every 12 weeks over about one year. Group B receives intravesical chemotherapy using mitomycin C or gemcitabine, chosen by the investigator, given once weekly for 4 to 6 doses followed by maintenance treatment for at least six months up to one year. The study includes a substudy with similar treatment groups. During the trial, participants will undergo multiple cystoscopies and urinary tumor resections as needed to monitor for disease recurrence or progression. Researchers will measure disease-free survival from the time of randomization until recurrence, progression, or death over approximately four years. Additional assessments include quality of life questionnaires, adverse events monitoring, and survival outcomes. Participants are followed closely with various evaluations throughout the study duration.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of claseprubart DNTH103 compared to a placebo in adults with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy CIDP. This Phase 3 study aims to assess treatment outcomes in participants with typical CIDP or certain CIDP variants, focusing on improving disease activity and disability measures. The study consists of several periods Part A includes an open-label phase lasting up to 13 weeks where participants receive an intravenous loading dose of claseprubart followed by subcutaneous injections every two weeks.

Safety monitoring involves tracking adverse events and drug serum concentrations. The total study duration can extend up to approximately 209 weeks, including all treatment and follow-up phases, with careful monitoring of participants neurological stability and treatment responses.

Researchers are conducting a combined Phase 2b and Phase 3 clinical trial to study CSL300 Clazakizumab in adults with end stage kidney disease ESKD who are undergoing maintenance dialysis. The study aims to find the right dose of CSL300 and then evaluate its effect on cardiovascular outcomes and safety in people with systemic inflammation and either atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ASCVD or diabetes. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving multiple centers. Participants will receive intravenous IV administration of either CSL300 or a placebo. The Phase 2b part focuses on determining the appropriate dose of CSL300 compared to placebo over about 12 weeks, while the Phase 3 part examines CSL300s effect on cardiovascular events over approximately five years. The study includes different dosing groups in Phase 2b and a larger comparison of CSL300 versus placebo in Phase 3. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly with blood tests that measure inflammation markers such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein hs-CRP, cardiovascular events, and safety outcomes. Researchers will track changes in various blood components and adverse events up to 32 weeks in Phase 2b and follow cardiovascular outcomes for up to five years in Phase 3. The total participation lasts through these periods with scheduled assessments to evaluate treatment effects and safety.

The registry focuses on patients with venous thromboembolism VTE, including those often excluded from typical clinical trials such as pregnant women, elderly patients, and those with serious health conditions. It aims to improve medical knowledge and patient care by collecting detailed data on these patients clinical status and treatment outcomes. The project also seeks to develop predictive scores to identify patients at higher risk of complications from thromboembolic disease. This observational registry collects extensive information on patients diagnosed with VTE, including details on coexisting conditions, antithrombotic treatment type, dose, and duration, as well as outcomes during the first three months of therapy. It captures data on VTE recurrences, bleeding complications, and deaths, providing insights into real-world treatment and patient management. Participants provide informed consent and are followed for at least three months to monitor clinical outcomes. The registry supports physicians by giving access to data on patients with similar profiles to help manage complex cases. The main outcomes measured include VTE events and complications over a three-year period, supporting ongoing improvements in patient care and risk assessment.

Researchers are studying whether an investigational drug called Zelpultide Alfa can reduce the occurrence of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia BPD in extremely premature babies. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2b3 study has an adaptive design and includes two parts Part 1 for dose selection and exploratory safety and efficacy, and Part 2 for confirmatory evaluation of the selected dose. Participants will receive up to 7 doses of Zelpultide Alfa or a placebo air-sham administered intratracheally at 24-hour intervals while still intubated, alongside standard care. In Part 1, babies are randomized to either 4 mgkg Zelpultide Alfa, 6 mgkg Zelpultide Alfa, or placebo, and after evaluating safety and efficacy, the selected dose moves to Part 2. In Part 2, babies are randomized to receive the chosen dose plus standard care or placebo plus standard care. During the study, babies will be closely monitored for safety and efficacy outcomes, including the incidence of grade 2 or 3 BPD or death by 36 weeks post menstrual age. Researchers will assess ventilator-free days, oxygen use, extubation rate, hospitalizations, and adverse events. The study results will help determine if Zelpultide Alfa added to standard care helps prevent BPD in high-risk preterm neonates. Participation lasts until at least 36 weeks post menstrual age with follow-up assessments for up to 24 months corrected age.
