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 targeted therapies and immunotherapy for people with metastatic colorectal cancer mCRC that have specific biomarkers. This open-label, exploratory Phase 11b study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of these treatments alone or in combination. Eligible participants will be assigned to treatment arms based on their tumor biomarker test results to better understand how these therapies work in different subgroups of mCRC. Participants may receive various drug combinations including oral inavolisib, intravenous IV cetuximab, bevacizumab, atezolizumab, tiragolumab, SY-5609, divarasib, and chemotherapy regimens such as FOLFOX or FOLFIRI. Treatment cycles typically last 21 or 28 days, with dosing schedules varying across arms, including daily oral medications and IV infusions on specific days. Some arms are actively recruiting, while others are closed or not currently enrolling. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including tumor measurements to evaluate response, blood tests to monitor drug levels and safety, and collection of tumor tissue for biomarker research. The primary outcome is the objective response rate over about 7 years. Secondary outcomes include duration of response, disease control rate, and adverse event monitoring. Participants are followed long-term to assess treatment effects and safety, with study participation lasting up to approximately 84 months.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of Navlimetostat BMS-986504 as a single treatment in adults with advanced or metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer NSCLC who have a specific genetic change called homozygous MTAP deletion. This study focuses on patients whose cancer has worsened despite previous treatments and aims to better understand how this drug works in this group. Participants will receive Navlimetostat in one of two different dose levels to compare effects. The drug is given as specified doses on certain days, and the study is randomized and open-label, meaning both researchers and participants know which dose is given. There are no placebo groups, and the study follows participants over time to assess responses and safety. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor response using RECIST v1.1 criteria, evaluations of symptoms and quality of life using specialized questionnaires, and monitoring for side effects and overall survival. These measures will be tracked up to three years after the last dose of the study treatment to gather comprehensive information on the treatments impact and safety profile.

Researchers are evaluating whether combining tucatinib with trastuzumab and mFOLFOX6 works better than standard treatments for people with HER2 positive colorectal cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. This Phase 3 study also aims to learn about the side effects that may occur when taking this combination of drugs. Participants have metastatic or unresectable colorectal cancer and are randomly assigned to different treatment groups. Participants are randomly placed in one of two study groups. One group receives tucatinib taken orally twice daily along with trastuzumab given intravenously every 3 weeks and mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy every 2 weeks. The other group receives standard care, which may be mFOLFOX6 alone or combined with bevacizumab or cetuximab, both given intravenously on different schedules. Tissue samples and biopsies are collected before treatment to confirm HER2 positivity and other markers. During the study, participants will have regular evaluations including imaging scans to measure cancer progression, blood tests, and assessments of side effects and quality of life. Progression-free survival is the primary outcome measured for up to about 3 years, with other outcomes like overall survival and response rate also tracked. Safety monitoring continues for about one year after the last treatment. The study lasts several years, with ongoing follow-up to understand long-term effects and benefits.

Researchers are studying vedolizumab, a medicine designed to reduce inflammation and pain in the digestive system, for children and teenagers with moderate to severe Crohns disease who have not responded well or were intolerant to standard treatments. The main goal is to see if participants can achieve remission, meaning their symptoms improve or disappear and endoscopy shows no inflammation. This phase 3, randomized, double-blind study involves about 120 pediatric participants worldwide. Participants will receive three intravenous infusions of vedolizumab over six weeks during the Induction Period, with doses based on their weight. Those who show a clinical response at Week 14 will be randomly assigned to receive either a high or low dose of vedolizumab every eight weeks up to Week 46 during the Maintenance Period. Dose adjustments may be made if disease worsens, and corticosteroid rescue therapy is allowed once during maintenance. After Week 54, eligible participants may continue treatment in an extension study or enter long-term follow-up. Throughout the study, participants will undergo assessments including clinical evaluations, endoscopies, and laboratory tests to measure disease activity and remission using tools like the Pediatric Crohns Disease Activity Index and Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohns Disease. Safety will be monitored through reports of adverse events and antibody levels against vedolizumab. The total participation can include additional safety visits and up to two years of long-term follow-up after the last dose.

This research aims to collect long-term safety data on vedolizumab in children with ulcerative colitis UC or Crohns disease CD who have previously participated in related parent studies. It involves up to 240 participants worldwide, including those from treatment or observational cohorts, to better understand the effects of vedolizumab in pediatric patients with these conditions. In the treatment cohort, participants receive intravenous vedolizumab at doses based on their weight, continuing the same blinded dose they received in the parent study at Week 46. Doses are given every 8 weeks, with options ranging from 100 mg to 300 mg depending on participant weight. The study duration in this cohort is up to approximately 5 years or until treatment becomes commercially available or the study closes. The observational cohort includes participants who received at least one dose in the parent study but are not continuing treatment they are followed for safety events for up to about 2 years without receiving vedolizumab. Participants attend assessment visits at several time points after their last dose in the parent study to monitor safety, growth, and development. Researchers track adverse events, inflammatory bowel disease-related events, and changes in quality of life scores using IMPACT-III questionnaires every 24 weeks. The study also includes a final safety visit 18 weeks after the last dose in the treatment cohort. Overall participation lasts up to 5 years for treated children and up to 2 years for those in the observational group.

Psoriatic arthritis PsA is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the joints and skin in people with psoriasis. This study aims to evaluate how well zasocitinib TAK-279 works in adults with active PsA who have not previously been treated with biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. The trial is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind study comparing zasocitinib with an active comparator and placebo. Participants will be assigned to one of four groups zasocitinib Dose A once daily, zasocitinib Dose B once daily, an active comparator capsule twice daily, or placebo once daily for 16 weeks followed by switching to zasocitinib Dose A or B up to 52 weeks. Treatments are taken orally as tablets or capsules over a period of up to 60 weeks. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including joint counts, skin evaluations, and various disease activity measurements such as ACR20 and PASI-75 responses. Researchers will monitor changes from baseline in functional and quality of life scores, as well as safety and tolerability. Participants will be involved in visits throughout the treatment period to evaluate the effects and collect data on the disease and treatment responses.

Researchers are evaluating Afimkibart RO7790121 for people with moderately to severely active Crohns disease. This Phase III clinical trial aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of both induction and maintenance therapy using this drug compared to a placebo. The study is designed as a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial across multiple centers. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups receiving either Afimkibart via intravenous infusion followed by subcutaneous injection or matching placebo treatments. The study involves continuous treatment through induction and maintenance phases to compare outcomes at weeks 12 and 52. The trial includes a placebo group to provide a comparison for evaluating Afimkibarts effects. During the study, participants will have regular visits for assessments including clinical remission rates, endoscopic response, symptomatic remission, stool frequency, abdominal pain, and quality of life questionnaires. Researchers will monitor various outcomes over 52 weeks and track adverse events for up to 70 weeks after baseline. This long-term follow-up helps evaluate both the treatments impact and safety throughout the trial period.

Researchers are evaluating BMS-986365 compared to the investigators choice of therapy in men with Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer.
