Researchers are evaluating treatments for participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplantation. This Phase 3 study compares if the combination of belantamab mafodotin, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (BRd) can extend progression-free survival or increase the number of participants achieving minimal residual disease negative status compared with the combination of daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (DRd). Participants will receive either BRd or DRd treatment. Belantamab mafodotin, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone will be administered in the BRd group, while daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone will be given in the DRd group. The study will monitor participants over approximately 7 years to assess long-term outcomes. During the study, participants will undergo assessments to measure progression-free survival and minimal residual disease status. Researchers will collect clinical data, laboratory tests, and safety information throughout the treatment and follow-up periods. The total duration of participation may last up to about 7 years to evaluate long-term effects and outcomes of the treatments.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of Dostarlimab compared to a placebo in adults with locally advanced unresected Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC). This phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study focuses on patients who have completed chemoradiation therapy with cisplatin and radiation and have no distant metastatic disease. The study requires confirmation of PD-L1 positive tumor status and specific testing for oropharyngeal carcinoma cases. Participants will receive either Dostarlimab or a placebo as an intravenous infusion following their chemoradiation treatment. The study monitors these treatments as sequential therapy to assess their impact on disease progression. Treatments are administered in a controlled, blinded manner to compare outcomes between the two groups effectively. During the study, participants will be followed for up to approximately five years to measure event-free survival, with evaluations conducted by blinded independent central review. Assessments will include monitoring for safety, disease status, and any adverse events throughout the study period. This long-term follow-up aims to provide comprehensive data on the effectiveness and safety of Dostarlimab as post-chemoradiation therapy in this patient population.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness, safety, and behavior of a new treatment called sefaxersen (RO7434656), an Antisense Oligonucleotide (ASO) therapy, for people with primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN). The study focuses on participants who have a high risk of their kidney disease worsening despite receiving the best available supportive care. This is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted at multiple centers. Participants will receive either sefaxersen or a matching placebo through subcutaneous injections according to a specified schedule. The study compares these two groups to see how the treatment affects kidney function over time. The intervention is designed to inhibit Complement Factor B, which is involved in the disease process. The study includes vaccination requirements and contraceptive use for women of childbearing potential to ensure safety. During the study, participants will be monitored for changes in their urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) at baseline and at week 37, which is the primary measure of kidney function improvement. Other assessments include kidney biopsy results, kidney function tests estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and ongoing safety evaluations. The trial tracks participants' health closely to assess the treatment's effect and any side effects throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and clinical effects of Awiqli (Insulin Icodec) in people with diabetes mellitus in Japan during routine clinical care. This study aims to understand how Awiqli works and how safe it is when used in real-world medical settings. Both men and women of any age with a diabetes diagnosis can participate, and the study will last about one year. Participants will receive Awiqli as prescribed by their treating doctor according to usual medical practice. The treatment involves using commercially available Awiqli once weekly. This is a single-group, open-label, non-interventional study, meaning there is no placebo or comparison group and the treatment is given as part of normal care. Throughout the 52-week study, researchers will collect data on any adverse reactions from the start until the end of the study. Participants will be monitored for safety and clinical outcomes as they use Awiqli. The study includes regular follow-up to assess treatment effects and collect safety information over the full year.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of peficitinib in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) receiving treatment in routine clinical practice. This mandatory Post-Marketing Surveillance (PMS) study is conducted as part of the Japan Risk Management Plan (J-RMP) and requested by the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA). The aim is to collect real-world data on patients treated with peficitinib for RA. The study involves treatment with oral peficitinib, given as part of routine clinical care. There are no comparator groups; all participants will be patients receiving peficitinib for the first time. The study focuses on monitoring safety and effectiveness in an actual clinical setting without altering the standard treatment schedule. Participants will be followed for up to 156 weeks to assess safety outcomes such as the frequency of adverse events, serious infections, malignancies, and events leading to death. Effectiveness will be measured up to 52 weeks using disease activity scores including DAS28 (using C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate), Simplified Disease Activity Index, Clinical Disease Activity Index, tender and swollen joint counts, and global assessments by patients and physicians. Researchers will also evaluate EULAR response criteria and remission rates. This long-term follow-up provides comprehensive safety and effectiveness data in real-world RA treatment.

This survey investigates the safety of Ondexxya Intravenous Injection 200 mg in patients who received it to neutralize the anticoagulant effect of factor Xa inhibitors during life-threatening or unarrestable bleeding episodes. The study aims to understand the occurrence of safety events known as "safety specifications," including thrombotic events, infusion reactions, and re-bleeding, as well as to detect any unknown adverse drug reactions and evaluate factors affecting safety and effectiveness under real-world use conditions. The survey collects safety and effectiveness information from all patients treated with Ondexxya for these bleeding emergencies. It does not involve comparison groups or additional interventions but focuses on monitoring the outcomes and adverse reactions associated with the drug's use in everyday clinical practice. Participants' data will be observed to measure the incidence of adverse drug reactions and safety events within 30 days after treatment. The study gathers information on patient background factors that might influence safety outcomes. There is no specified follow-up treatment or additional procedures; the total observation period for outcomes is 30 days post-treatment.
