Researchers are studying the safety and effectiveness of brenipatide, given alongside standard treatment, compared to a placebo with standard treatment, to see if it can delay the return of symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder. This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind study involving adult participants aged 18 to 75 years. The trial is designed to assess how long it takes for depression symptoms to relapse after starting the adjunctive treatment. Participants will receive either brenipatide or placebo, both administered by subcutaneous injection, in addition to their stable standard of care medication. The study has three main periods: a screening period lasting about one month, followed by a treatment phase of at least 12 months where participants receive the assigned injections, and finally a follow-up period of roughly two months. The total time in the study can be shorter if symptoms worsen or if a participant withdraws. During the trial, participants will need to attend scheduled visits, self-inject the study drug, maintain study diaries, and complete questionnaires. Researchers will monitor participants closely to determine the time until relapse of major depressive disorder symptoms occurs. Safety and adherence to study procedures will be tracked throughout the trial, with the primary outcome measuring the number of days from randomization until relapse.

Researchers are studying how well and safely orforglipron works in adult women who have stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and are overweight or have obesity. SUI is a condition where urine leaks during movements like coughing or exercising. This trial is part of a master protocol including two independent studies, and it is a Phase 3 clinical trial. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either orforglipron tablets or a placebo, both taken orally once daily. The treatment period and study participation will last approximately 58 weeks, including screening and safety follow-up. The study compares the effects of orforglipron against placebo in this specific group of female patients. During the study, researchers will track changes in the frequency of incontinence episodes from the start to week 52. Participants will undergo screening, treatment, and safety monitoring throughout the trial. The study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of orforglipron in reducing urinary leakage events over time.

Researchers are evaluating the overall survival of women with stage I epithelial ovarian cancer following comprehensive staging surgery. This phase III trial compares the effects of adjuvant chemotherapy versus observation without chemotherapy in this patient group. Patients are randomly assigned based on histologic type, enrollment facility, and clinical staging according to the FIGO system. Participants are divided into two groups. Group A receives adjuvant chemotherapy, which includes either Paclitaxel plus Carboplatin or Docetaxel plus Carboplatin, administered every three weeks for three to six cycles. Switching between paclitaxel and docetaxel is allowed if adverse events occur. Group B undergoes observation only, with no chemotherapy given. The study treatment starts within eight weeks after comprehensive staging surgery. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments to monitor survival status up to 60 months from randomization. Researchers collect data including clinical evaluations, imaging, and laboratory tests as needed. Safety is closely monitored, and participants provide informed consent before enrollment. The trial aims to determine whether adjuvant chemotherapy improves survival compared to observation alone in this patient population.
