This trial studies adults aged 50 to under 80 with mild or moderate calcific aortic valve stenosis and elevated lipoproteina levels. Researchers are assessing the safety, tolerability, and ability of pelacarsen TQJ230 given once monthly by injection to slow the progression of this heart valve condition. The study compares pelacarsen to a placebo in a randomized, double-blind design. Participants receive either pelacarsen 80 mg or a matching placebo as a subcutaneous injection monthly. They continue treatment and monitoring for up to 36 months to observe changes in heart valve narrowing and calcium buildup. The study also tracks lipoproteina levels and clinical heart-related events during this period. Throughout the study, participants will have regular assessments including imaging to measure aortic valve function and calcium score, blood tests for lipoproteina, and monitoring for safety. The main outcomes analyzed after 36 months include changes in valve jet velocity and calcium score, alongside clinical events. Participants remain under medical care while being observed for any effects of the study drug or placebo.

Researchers are studying a treatment approach for adult men with PSMA-positive metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer mCRPC who have previously received one androgen receptor pathway inhibitor ARPI and may or may not have had taxane chemotherapy. This phase IbII trial aims to first evaluate the safety, tolerability, and how the body processes the drug AMO959 combined with lutetium 177Lu vipivotide tetraxetan AAA617 and ARPI. Then, it will assess the preliminary effectiveness of this combination in patients who have not yet been treated with taxane chemotherapy for mCRPC. The study includes two phases Phase Ib with small groups receiving escalating doses of AMO959 alone, then combined with AAA617 and ARPI abiraterone or enzalutamide to determine the recommended dose and Phase II where participants are assigned to treatment arms receiving AMO959 with AAA617 and ARPI, AAA617 with ARPI, or other dosing regimens. Treatments involve taking AMO959 twice daily for 14 days followed by combinations with AAA617 every six weeks for up to six cycles, along with continuous ARPI therapy. Participants will undergo safety monitoring for side effects and dose adjustments during treatment lasting up to about two years. The study measures include biochemical responses like PSA levels, progression-free survival, overall response rates, and quality of life assessments. Blood samples will track drug levels and radiation doses. Follow-up continues to monitor adverse events and disease progression for up to nearly four years from treatment start, with regular visits during treatment cycles.

Researchers are evaluating AZD0780, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor, in a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study. This trial focuses on patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ASCVD or those at high risk for a first ASCVD event. The study aims to assess how AZD0780 compares to placebo in reducing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, also known as MACE-PLUS, over the course of the trial. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either oral AZD0780 once daily or a matching placebo once daily. The study continues until a primary analysis censoring date, which may be up to approximately 54 months from randomization. After this, a study closure visit will be conducted as the final visit for each participant. During the study, participants will be regularly monitored for cardiovascular events including heart attacks, strokes, urgent coronary revascularizations, and other related outcomes. Researchers will track the time to first occurrence of these events as the primary outcome. Safety and other secondary outcomes like all-cause mortality will also be assessed. The total participation time can last up to about 54 months, with ongoing evaluations throughout this period.

Researchers are studying the impact and burden of three skin conditions moderate or severe alopecia areata, non-segmental vitiligo, and moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa. The study includes adolescents and adults and aims to understand how these conditions affect quality of life and daily functioning in a large global population. This is an observational study where participants with each condition will have a single visit for data collection following routine clinical practice. No experimental treatments are given instead, the study gathers information during this one visit to assess disease characteristics and impact. During the visit, participants will complete questionnaires and clinical assessments specific to their condition. These include tools measuring symptom impact, hair loss severity, skin depigmentation, and quality of life related to each disease. This helps researchers better understand the real-world burden of these conditions. Participation involves only this one visit, with no long-term follow-up or additional procedures.

Researchers are studying pirtobrutinib, an oral drug, to understand how well it works and how safe it is for people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia CLL or small lymphocytic lymphoma SLL. The study focuses on participants who have previously received 1 to 3 treatments, including a covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase BTK inhibitor, as well as those with treatment-nafve CLLSLL who have a specific genetic change called 17p deletion. This is a Phase 2 open-label trial sponsored by Loxo Oncology, Inc. The study has two parts. Part 1 tests three different dose levels of pirtobrutinib in participants with relapsed or refractory CLLSLL who have prior treatment experience, lasting about 3 years. Part 2 evaluates pirtobrutinib alone in participants who have not received prior treatment but have the 17p deletion, with participation lasting up to 2 years. All doses are given orally. Participants will take the study drug orally and attend visits for up to 3 years in Part 1 or up to 2 years in Part 2. Researchers will monitor how well the disease responds to treatment using overall response rate and how long the response lasts. Safety will be tracked throughout. Participants ability to swallow oral medication and their overall health status will be assessed before and during the study to ensure suitability and safety.

Researchers are evaluating a port delivery system PDS with ranibizumab for adults aged 50 and older who have neovascular age-related macular degeneration nAMD. This Phase IIIb study aims to assess the effectiveness, safety, and patient-reported outcomes of refilling the PDS implant every 36 weeks. The study focuses on maintaining vision and reducing the treatment burden for people with nAMD who have already received prior anti-VEGF injections. Participants will have a PDS implant surgically inserted in their study eye on Day 1, pre-filled with ranibizumab at a concentration of 100 mgmL. Those who show disease activity or receive supplemental ranibizumab injections before Week 24 will have refill exchanges every 24 weeks, while others will receive refill exchanges every 36 weeks. Supplemental intravitreal ranibizumab injections may be given as needed during the study. Throughout the trial, participants will undergo assessments including vision tests using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study chart, eye imaging, and monitoring of eye thickness. Researchers will track changes in vision, need for supplemental treatments, implant safety, and patient preferences. The study lasts until Week 72, with safety and adverse event monitoring continuing for approximately 19 months after implantation.

The study monitors participants closely to understand the drugs impact and safety profile.

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.

Researchers are evaluating how well elritercept works to improve anemia in adults with myelofibrosis MF who are already taking ruxolitinib. The study compares elritercept to a placebo and aims to see if elritercept can reduce tiredness, improve MF-related symptoms, and help participants perform physical activities more easily. It also looks at elritercepts effects on bone marrow, spleen size, antibody development, and long-term safety. Participants receive either elritercept or a placebo by subcutaneous injection once every 4 weeks during a 36-week double-blinded treatment period. The starting dose of elritercept is 3.75 mgkg, with a possible increase to 5.0 mgkg after the second cycle based on response and safety. After 36 weeks, participants who took placebo may switch to receive elritercept in an extended open-label phase. During the study, participants undergo assessments including blood transfusion independence, symptom and fatigue questionnaires, spleen imaging, and bone marrow evaluation. Researchers monitor safety, antibody formation, and survival for up to 7 years. The main outcome is the proportion of participants who become independent from red blood cell transfusions for at least 12 consecutive weeks during the 36-week treatment. Participants are involved in regular visits and evaluations throughout the treatment and follow-up periods.
