This research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of iza-bren, a bi-specific antibody-drug conjugate targeting EGFR and HER3 with a topoisomerase inhibitor, compared to the treatment of physician's choice (paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, carboplatin plus gemcitabine, or capecitabine). The study focuses on patients with previously untreated, locally advanced, recurrent inoperable, or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) or estrogen receptor (ER)-low, HER2-negative breast cancer who are not eligible for anti-PD(L)1 or endocrine therapies. The trial is conducted in two phases, phase 2 and phase 3, to thoroughly assess these treatments.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of tulisokibart, a humanized monoclonal antibody, in people with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. The research includes two studies: Study 1, which has induction and maintenance treatment phases, and Study 2, which only includes induction treatment. The main goals are to see if tulisokibart can help participants achieve clinical remission and endoscopic response compared to placebo, measured at 12 and 52 weeks depending on the study and region (US/FDA or EU/EMA).

Researchers are conducting an observational, prospective, multicenter study in Italian cardiology centers to evaluate how well patients with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) follow guideline-recommended treatments. The study also aims to assess the safety of these treatments, monitor treatment patterns in patients with acute heart failure, and observe treatment approaches in all chronic heart failure patients regardless of their ejection fraction levels. The study involves two phases of educational interventions and data collection. Initially, healthcare providers will receive education on guideline recommendations and treatment patterns, followed by 3 months of patient data collection or up to 30 consecutive patients with chronic or acute heart failure. After 6 months, treatment modifications and outcomes will be evaluated. Then, a second educational session will highlight gaps between guidelines and practice, followed by another 3 months of data collection. Patients will be followed for 12 months total, with ongoing monitoring of treatment changes and outcomes. Participants will be assessed at enrollment and during the follow-up periods through clinical evaluations and data collection on treatment adherence and safety. The main outcome measured is adherence to guideline-directed medical therapies over 6 months. The study includes evaluations at 6 and 12 months after enrollment, with close monitoring of treatment patterns and patient health status throughout the study duration.
