Researchers are conducting a Phase 3 pediatric study to create a framework for evaluating the safety and effectiveness of drugs for managing obesity or overweight conditions in children and teens. The study focuses on participants who have struggled to lose weight despite structured diet and exercise programs. The goal is to assess treatments for long-term weight management in this young population. Participants will receive either the study drug Orforglipron or a placebo orally. The interventions will be detailed in specific substudies, called ISAs, which may start independently as new treatments become available. Results from all ISAs will be reported once all are completed, providing insights into the treatments effects on pediatric obesity or overweight. During the study, participants will be evaluated from baseline to week 72, with the primary outcome measuring the number of participants assigned to each ISA. Participants will undergo assessments including body mass index evaluations based on age- and gender-specific growth charts, and monitoring for weight-related health conditions. Safety and efficacy data will be collected throughout the study duration, which extends to March 2027.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of the drugs eltrekibart and mirikizumab in adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis UC, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. This Phase 2 study aims to find out how these treatments work alone or in combination to improve UC symptoms and health. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and will last about 4 to 5 years, including screening. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of several treatments eltrekibart with a placebo, mirikizumab with a placebo, both drugs together, or placebo alone. The study is double-blinded, meaning neither the participants nor the researchers know which treatment is given to ensure unbiased results. The treatment period includes dosing with the study drugs or placebo, and participants will be monitored for safety and response. Participants will be involved in the trial for around 69 weeks, including a screening period of up to 35 days before starting treatment. Throughout the study, they will undergo assessments to measure clinical remission, response, endoscopic improvement, and quality of life using questionnaires. Blood samples will be taken to study drug levels, and researchers will monitor safety and disease activity regularly. The main outcome is the percentage of participants achieving clinical remission at Week 12, with additional measures assessed up to Week 52.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of orforglipron, taken once daily by mouth, compared to placebo in adolescents aged 12 to 17 years who have obesity or are overweight with related health conditions. The study aims to assess the drugs efficacy, safety, and how it is processed by the body. This phase 3 trial is conducted under a master protocol and sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either orforglipron or a placebo orally once daily. Those who complete the initial PW01 study, including a safety follow-up period, may continue receiving orforglipron for an additional 156 weeks while maintaining lifestyle interventions such as diet and exercise counseling. The trial follows a double-blind design where neither participants nor researchers know the assigned treatment. During the roughly 18-month participation, adolescents will undergo regular assessments including body mass index BMI, body weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose levels, insulin levels, body fat mass via DXA scans, and quality of life related to weight impact. Pharmacokinetic measurements will also be taken to study the drugs concentration over time. Safety and effectiveness will be monitored through these evaluations at baseline and at Week 72.

Researchers are studying the investigational drug GB-0895 as an additional treatment for adolescents and adults aged 12 to 80 years with severe asthma that is not controlled by inhaled corticosteroids and other standard asthma treatments. This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of GB-0895 in improving asthma control over a year. The trial includes an optional open-label extension for further assessment. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either GB-0895 or a placebo by subcutaneous injection every six months during the 52-week treatment period. The study also includes a screening and baseline phase, a run-in phase before treatment, and a follow-up period after treatment ends. During the optional extension phase, participants may continue receiving GB-0895 at specified time points. The study involves multiple visits approximately every 1 to 2 months after the first month. Throughout the trial, participants will undergo various assessments including lung function tests, asthma symptom diaries, quality of life questionnaires, and monitoring of asthma exacerbations. Researchers will track annual asthma exacerbation rates and changes in asthma control and quality of life scores. Safety will be closely monitored during and after treatment. Total participation may last up to about 2.7 years if including the extension phase.

Researchers are investigating the efficacy and safety of duvakitug in people with moderately to severely active Crohns Disease in a multinational, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study. The trial includes three sub-studies aiming to evaluate duvakitugs effects compared to placebo during induction treatment phases, focusing on clinical remission and endoscopic response at 12 weeks. Participants receive subcutaneous injections of duvakitug or placebo following the study protocol. The study duration can be up to 35 weeks, including a screening period of up to 5 weeks, followed by a 12-week induction phase in either Sub-Study 1 open-label, Sub-Study 2 pivotal induction, or Sub-Study 3 extended induction for non-responders. A 6-week follow-up period applies to participants not entering the maintenance study. Throughout the trial, participants undergo scheduled visits for assessments including clinical remission based on Crohns Disease Activity Index and endoscopic scores. Safety is monitored with reports of adverse events and serum drug levels. Up to 8 to 15 visits are planned depending on the sub-study, with follow-up continuing for 45 days after the last dose for those not moving to maintenance treatment.

Researchers are studying the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of ION717, delivered through intrathecal injection, in people with prion disease. This is a first-in-human, multi-center study that includes participants with early-stage prion disease. The trial aims to understand how the body handles ION717 and how the drug affects prion protein levels. The study includes three regimens. Regimens 1 and 2 involve a 30-week double-blind treatment period where participants receive multiple doses of ION717 and placebo in a blinded order, followed by a 142-week open-label extension where all participants receive ION717. Regimen 3 is an open-label phase during which participants receive multiple doses of ION717 throughout both the 30-week treatment and 142-week extension periods. The study also includes a 32-week post-treatment follow-up. Participants will be involved for up to about 5 years, including screening, treatment, extension, and post-treatment periods. Assessments include monitoring for adverse events, measuring drug levels in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid, urine analysis, and tracking changes in prion protein concentrations. Safety and tolerability are closely monitored throughout the study, particularly during the initial 33 weeks. The study collects detailed pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data to evaluate the effects of ION717.
