Researchers are investigating new treatments for metastatic cervical cancer, which is cancer that has spread beyond the cervix, the lower part of the uterus. This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of the antibody drug conjugate sacituzumab tirumotecan sac-TMT combined with pembrolizumab and bevacizumab. The goal is to find out if these treatments, given together or with some variations, help patients live longer or delay cancer progression compared to standard care. The study has two parts. In Part 1, participants receive sac-TMT, pembrolizumab, and bevacizumab together to assess safety. In Part 2, all participants first get standard induction treatment with pembrolizumab, paclitaxel, and cisplatin or carboplatin, possibly with bevacizumab. Those whose cancer does not worsen then enter maintenance treatment, where they are randomly assigned to receive either pembrolizumab alone or sac-TMT plus pembrolizumab, with optional bevacizumab. Participants are involved for up to about 20 months during maintenance treatment after up to 4 months of induction. The study monitors safety by tracking side effects and treatment discontinuations. Effectiveness is measured by progression-free survival and overall survival up to several years. Quality of life and physical functioning are also assessed through questionnaires. Treatments and evaluations occur through regular intravenous infusions and periodic monitoring visits.

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 investigating new treatments for people with proficient mismatch repair pMMR endometrial cancer that is advanced or has returned after surgery. This cancer starts in the tissues inside the uterus and has spread locally or to other parts of the body, making it not removable by surgery. The study aims to learn if combining sacituzumab tirumotecan sac-TMT with pembrolizumab helps people live longer and without their cancer worsening compared to pembrolizumab alone. All participants first receive an Induction Phase of six cycles, each lasting three weeks, which includes pembrolizumab combined with carboplatin or cisplatin and paclitaxel or docetaxel. Those whose cancer does not progress then enter a Maintenance Treatment Phase and are randomly assigned to receive either pembrolizumab plus sac-TMT or pembrolizumab alone. If the cancer progresses, participants may enter a Subsequent Treatment Phase where they are randomly assigned to pembrolizumab plus sac-TMT or sac-TMT alone. During maintenance and subsequent phases, sac-TMT is given on Days 1, 15, and 29 of each 6-week cycle, and pembrolizumab is given on Day 1 of each 6-week cycle. Participants are involved throughout the study, receiving intravenous treatments over several months and up to 14 maintenance cycles lasting about 19 months. Researchers will monitor cancer progression and survival up to approximately 44 to 54 months. They also assess safety by tracking adverse events and quality of life using questionnaires. The study requires regular visits for treatment and evaluation over this period to understand how well the treatments work and their effects on participants.
