Acute respiratory failure is a serious medical emergency that can quickly lead to death without prompt treatment. Researchers are evaluating a new portable device designed to provide Continuous Positive Airway Pressure CPAP support outside of hospital settings. This device aims to be easy to use by non-medical individuals and to improve outcomes for patients experiencing respiratory failure. The study will test the devices effectiveness and usability in two groups healthy elderly adults who will self-apply the device, and hospitalized patients with mild oxygenation impairment. The device is designed to deliver positive end-expiratory pressure PEEP between 4 and 7.5 cmH2O, and its performance will be assessed in real-world clinical settings across three hospitals. Participants will be monitored for up to 2 hours during device use, with assessments including how easy the device is to use, duration of proper pressure delivery, battery consumption and duration, and changes in blood oxygen levels SpO2. The study will collect data to support the devices future use as a first-aid tool for respiratory failure outside hospitals. The total study duration and follow-up details are not specified.

Researchers are studying the use of bempedoic acid combined with ezetimibe and either rosuvastatin or atorvastatin, known as triple therapy, in adults with primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of this combination in real-world clinical practice, focusing on lowering LDL cholesterol LDL-C levels. This is an observational study, meaning no drugs are administered by the study team instead, existing treatments are monitored. Participants are adults who have started triple therapy within the past four weeks and are followed for up to one year. The study looks at LDL-C changes after 8 weeks and 1 year of treatment, adherence to the therapy, side effects, and cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. No new treatments are given instead, researchers collect information on the participants ongoing treatments involving bempedoic acid, ezetimibe, and either rosuvastatin or atorvastatin. During the study, participants LDL-C levels, laboratory values, and treatment adherence are regularly reviewed. Researchers will also record any adverse events and track major cardiovascular events over the year. The primary measurement is the change in LDL-C from before treatment to 8 weeks after starting triple therapy. Participants health is followed through routine clinical assessments, and the study lasts for up to one year after beginning triple therapy.

Regular evaluations will be conducted to assess disease status, quality of life, and safety throughout the trial, which is planned to complete by 2032.

Researchers are evaluating treatments for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that have specific genetic changes called HER2 mutations. This lung cancer has spread or cannot be controlled with current treatments. The study aims to compare how well a drug called sevabertinib works and how safe it is compared to standard treatment for this type of cancer. Participants will receive either sevabertinib tablets twice daily or standard treatment consisting of pembrolizumab combined with platinum-based chemotherapy given every 21 days by infusion. Those on standard treatment who experience disease progression may switch to sevabertinib. Treatment continues as long as participants benefit and do not have severe side effects or until they or their doctor decide to stop. During the study, participants will have imaging scans like CT, PET, MRI, and X-rays to monitor cancer spread. Doctors will also perform health checks including blood and urine tests, heart monitoring with ECG, pregnancy tests for women, and ask about symptoms or side effects. The main measure is progression-free survival assessed up to about 2 years, with additional outcomes related to survival, response rates, side effects, and quality of life followed up to 4 years.
