Researchers are evaluating how well measuring symphysis fundal height (SFH) alone compares to SFH combined with point of care ultrasound measuring fetal abdominal circumference (POC-US-AC) in detecting babies who are smaller or larger than normal for their gestational age among low-risk pregnant women after 35 weeks. This study aims to find the most accurate way to identify abnormal fetal growth, which is linked to problems for both mother and baby. The study is an open-label randomized controlled trial involving two groups to compare these screening methods, with further confirmation by formal obstetric ultrasound when abnormalities are suspected. Women in the study will be randomly assigned to either SFH measurement alone or SFH plus POC-US-AC during routine antenatal visits at 35-38, 40, 41, and beyond 41 weeks of pregnancy. Midwives trained in both methods will perform the measurements. If growth abnormalities or abnormal amniotic fluid levels are suspected based on these screenings, a formal ultrasound by a specialist will be done for confirmation. All participants will receive a POC-US at 41 and 41+ weeks to check amniotic fluid regardless of their group. Participants will be assessed through ultrasound evaluations, medical history reviews, and fetal growth measurements during scheduled visits. Birthweights will be compared to prenatal findings to classify infants as small, appropriate, or large for gestational age. The primary outcome is the number of infants identified as small or large for gestational age from enrollment until about one year after birth. Safety and fetal growth will be closely monitored throughout the pregnancy with detailed measurements and follow-ups.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of subcutaneous ianalumab in adults with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis. This Phase 2 study compares ianalumab with a placebo in participants diagnosed according to established classification criteria, focusing on those with active disease and specific autoantibodies. The goal is to better understand ianalumab's impact on this condition over a long treatment period. The study includes several phases: up to 6 weeks for screening, followed by a 52-week initial treatment period where participants receive either ianalumab or placebo by subcutaneous injection. After this, there is a second 52-week open-label treatment period where all participants receive ianalumab. Finally, a post-treatment follow-up period lasts at least 20 weeks and can extend up to 2 years after the last dose. Participants will undergo various assessments throughout the study, including evaluations of their skin condition using the rCRISS25 response at week 52. Safety and tolerability will also be closely monitored. The study involves regular visits for clinical evaluations, laboratory tests, and monitoring of disease activity and antibody status, with the total participation potentially lasting over two years including follow-up.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of trontinemab in people aged 50 to 90 with early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, ranging from mild cognitive impairment to mild dementia. This Phase III clinical trial focuses on those who show evidence of Alzheimer's pathology and have a recent history of cognitive decline. The study aims to measure changes in cognitive function over 72 weeks. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either intravenous trontinemab or a placebo. The trial is designed as a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives the active drug or placebo. The treatment period lasts up to 72 weeks, during which participants will undergo various assessments to monitor their cognitive status and safety. During the study, participants will complete clinical tests including cognitive assessments and imaging such as MRI, PET scans, or cerebrospinal fluid analysis to confirm Alzheimer's pathology. A study partner will assist participants as needed. Researchers will track changes from the start of the study through week 72 using tools like the Clinical Dementia Rating. Safety monitoring and adherence to study procedures will also be closely observed throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety and effects of nerandomilast in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) who have previously completed treatment with nerandomilast in earlier studies. The study aims to understand how well participants tolerate nerandomilast over time, and whether it helps improve lung function, delays symptom worsening, reduces hospital visits, or impacts survival. This is a Phase 3 open-label extension trial. Participants take nerandomilast tablets daily for up to 1 year and 10 months while continuing their usual pulmonary fibrosis treatments. The study follows an open-label design where all participants receive nerandomilast. There are no placebo or comparator groups in this extension phase. Throughout the study, participants regularly visit their doctors for health assessments and lung function tests. Doctors monitor any health problems or side effects experienced during treatment. The main outcome measured is whether participants experience any adverse events up to the final follow-up visit, which occurs at week 99. This close monitoring helps evaluate the long-term safety and potential benefits of nerandomilast in this patient group.

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 studying adults with confirmed Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) and cirrhosis, a scarring of the liver caused by damage to bile ducts. PBC is a slowly progressing disease that causes bile acid buildup and further liver damage, which can lead to cirrhosis. This study aims to evaluate if elafibranor, a daily medication, can prevent worsening clinical outcomes such as the need for liver transplant or death, compared to a placebo. It also looks at the safety of long-term elafibranor use and its effect on symptoms like itching and tiredness. Participants will take either an 80 mg tablet of elafibranor or a matching placebo once daily for up to 3.5 years in a double-blind setup, meaning neither the participants nor researchers know who receives which treatment. This long-term treatment period is designed to monitor the drug's impact over time. The study includes two groups: one receiving elafibranor and the other receiving placebo, with treatment lasting up to approximately 42 months. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed from the start until 4 weeks after treatment ends, with a maximum involvement of 3.5 years. Researchers will measure event-free survival, tracking if participants avoid clinical events indicating disease worsening. Safety monitoring will include tracking side effects and overall health, while symptom impact will be evaluated. Participants will provide informed consent and follow the study protocol throughout this extended observation period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of fosmanogepix, a study medicine, for treating candidemia and invasive candidiasis, which are serious fungal infections caused by Candida species. This Phase 3 clinical trial compares fosmanogepix to the standard treatment of caspofungin followed by fluconazole, aiming to show that fosmanogepix is not worse than the standard therapy by a margin of 15%. The study includes adult patients diagnosed with these infections. Participants will receive either fosmanogepix or caspofungin as an intravenous infusion daily at the study clinic. After the initial infusion phase, patients may switch to oral tablets of fosmanogepix or fluconazole capsules, which can be taken at the clinic or at home if discharged. Treatment duration varies by individual, lasting up to six weeks depending on infection clearance and symptom improvement. A follow-up visit will take place six weeks after stopping treatment. During the study, patients will undergo multiple visits to monitor their health and treatment response. Researchers will assess outcomes such as the proportion of patients alive at 30 days and the overall treatment success at the end of study treatment, up to day 42. Safety will be closely monitored throughout the study and during follow-up, ensuring comprehensive evaluation of the treatments over the entire participation period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of fosmanogepix, given either intravenously or orally, for treating adults diagnosed with invasive mold infections. This Phase 3 study focuses on patients infected with molds such as Aspergillus species, Fusarium species, Lomentospora prolificans, Mucorales fungi, or other multidrug-resistant molds. The main goal is to compare the overall death rate at 42 days against a fixed threshold to assess treatment outcomes. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups: Cohort A includes patients receiving either the study drug fosmanogepix or the standard antifungal treatment based on institutional practice, while Cohort B includes patients receiving fosmanogepix as a salvage treatment after not responding to or not tolerating prior therapies. Fosmanogepix is administered through intravenous infusion or oral tablets. The study treatment period targets 84 days but can be extended up to 180 days depending on patient needs. Throughout the study, lasting up to approximately 8 months including follow-up, participants will undergo evaluations to monitor their response, safety, and overall health status. Researchers will track the all-cause mortality rate by Day 42 as the primary outcome. Safety and treatment effects will be assessed regularly during treatment and follow-up to ensure participant well-being and gather comprehensive data on fosmanogepix’s impact.

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of two doses of remibrutinib compared to placebo in people aged 12 years and older with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa, a chronic skin condition. The study is a phase 3 clinical trial involving participants with a diagnosis lasting at least six months and active symptoms in multiple body areas. The purpose is to determine how well remibrutinib works and how safe and tolerable it is for this condition. The trial lasts a total of 76 weeks and includes several parts: a screening period of up to 4 weeks, a first treatment period of 16 weeks where participants receive either remibrutinib Dose A, Dose B, or placebo in a double-blind manner, followed by a second treatment period lasting 52 weeks during which all participants receive remibrutinib doses. After treatment, there is a 4-week safety follow-up without treatment. Participants stopping treatment early are encouraged to continue in the study and complete the safety follow-up. During the study, participants will be regularly monitored for their response to treatment, including the proportion who achieve a clinical response measure called HiSCR50 at Week 16. Assessments will include physical exams and safety checks throughout the treatment periods and follow-up. The study seeks to gather detailed information on how remibrutinib affects the severity of hidradenitis suppurativa and participants' overall health during and after treatment.

Researchers are evaluating a new compound called AZD8205 as a potential treatment for advanced or metastatic solid tumors, either alone or combined with other anti-cancer drugs. This Phase I/IIa multi-center, open-label study focuses on patients with advanced solid tumors including breast cancer, biliary tract cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, and squamous non-small cell lung cancer. The study aims to understand the safety and effects of AZD8205 and its combinations in these patient populations. Participants may receive AZD8205 alone or combined with other agents such as rilvegostomig, a bispecific antibody targeting TIGIT and PD-1; saruparib, a PARP inhibitor; or AZD9574, another PARP inhibitor. Various combinations include AZD8205 with rilvegostomig, saruparib, both saruparib and rilvegostomig, or AZD9574 with or without rilvegostomig. The study uses dose escalation and expansion phases to assess these treatments. Treatment is given according to the assigned group, with dosing schedules and combinations tailored to evaluate safety and tolerability. During the study, participants will be closely monitored for safety including adverse events, serious adverse events, and dose-limiting toxicities. Laboratory tests, ECGs, and vital signs will be regularly checked from the time of informed consent through 30 days after the last dose, covering about one year in total. Researchers will also assess measurable disease response and overall health status. This comprehensive evaluation helps determine the potential of AZD8205 and its combinations as treatments for advanced solid tumors.
