Primary immune thrombocytopenia ITP is a condition where the immune system mistakenly destroys platelets, leading to a lower number of platelets and increased risk of bruising or bleeding. This Phase 3 study evaluates the long-term safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of mezagitamab in adults with chronic primary ITP. The study also investigates how the body processes mezagitamab over an extended period. Participants who completed previous mezagitamab studies TAK-079-3002 or TAK-079-1004 will be invited to join this continuation trial. Eligible participants may receive mezagitamab injections on demand, with treatment courses repeated as needed based on specific criteria and the investigators clinical judgment. The treatment is administered subcutaneously. During the study, participants will visit the clinic several times for assessments. Researchers will monitor safety by tracking treatment-emergent adverse events, and evaluate effectiveness through platelet response and remission rates. Measurements of drug levels and antibodies will also be taken. The study may last up to approximately 108 weeks, allowing detailed long-term follow-up.

Researchers are evaluating whether retatrutide and tirzepatide can prevent major adverse liver outcomes in adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease MASLD who are at high risk based on non-invasive tests. This Phase 3 randomized controlled trial aims to assess these treatments compared to placebo in about 4,500 adults over approximately 224 weeks. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and focuses on liver disease progression and related health measures. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive retatrutide, tirzepatide, or placebo, all administered by subcutaneous injection. The trial includes two placebo groups corresponding to each experimental drug. After completing the main study, eligible participants may join a 2-year extension where all will receive either retatrutide or tirzepatide regardless of their initial assignment. During the study, participants may attend around 25 to 30 clinic visits for health monitoring, study procedures, and assessments of liver function and disease status. Researchers will measure the time to major adverse liver outcomes, changes in liver fibrosis scores, liver stiffness, liver fat content, liver enzyme levels, body weight, and cardiovascular events. Monitoring will continue from baseline through study completion, with detailed evaluations at multiple timepoints including week 104.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of three different dose regimens of MORF-057, a small molecule drug, in adults with moderately to severely active Crohns disease CD. This Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study aims to compare these doses with a matching placebo during an induction treatment period. The study includes adult participants who have active symptoms of CD and have not adequately responded to other treatments. Participants will first undergo a 14-week induction period where they receive either one of the three blinded MORF-057 dose regimens or a matching placebo, all taken orally. Following this, all participants enter a 38-week maintenance period receiving open-label MORF-057. Those who complete this 52-week treatment phase may have the chance to continue treatment for an additional 52 weeks during a long-term extension. MORF-057 is designed to selectively inhibit integrin 47. During the study, participants will have their disease activity monitored using endoscopic assessments and clinical symptom scores, such as the Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohns Disease SES-CD and the Crohns Disease Activity Index CDAI. Researchers will assess the proportion of participants showing endoscopic response and clinical remission at Week 14. Safety and adherence will be closely followed throughout the treatment and extension phases. The entire study spans up to 6 years, allowing for long-term evaluation.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of GIA632 in adults aged 18 to 99 years with non-segmental vitiligo NSV. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2b study aims to understand the dose-response relationship of GIA632 and determine the best dose to advance to a Phase 3 study. Participants have NSV affecting specific body surface areas confirmed by physical examination. Participants are randomly assigned to receive one of four different doses of GIA632 or a placebo. The assigned treatment is administered over a 48-week core period. After this period, an extension phase assesses longer-term safety and efficacy of the study drug. The study compares changes in facial and total body vitiligo scores at various time points up to 48 weeks. Throughout the study, participants undergo assessments including Vitiligo Area Scoring Index VASI measurements on the face and body, and the Vitiligo Noticeability Scale VNS. These assessments occur at baseline and multiple follow-up visits up to week 48. Researchers monitor participants for treatment effects and safety during the entire study duration, which runs until 2030, ensuring detailed evaluation of GIA632 over time.

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 how well JNJ-79635322 works compared with an anti-B-cell maturation antigen BCMAxCD3 bispecific antibody in adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. This phase 3 study includes participants who have received at least three prior therapies and have progressive disease or insufficient response to their last treatment. The study aims to assess treatment outcomes including overall response and progression-free survival over a period of up to 5 years and 7 months. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either JNJ-79635322 or teclistamab, both given as subcutaneous injections. Treatment continues until disease progression or intolerable side effects occur. These two groups allow comparison of the effects of each drug on disease control and patient well-being during the study. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments to monitor their response to treatment, including laboratory tests to measure disease markers and evaluations of symptoms, functioning, and quality of life. Researchers will track adverse events, immune responses to the drugs, and long-term outcomes such as duration of response and overall survival. The total participation time can extend up to nearly 6 years, with ongoing monitoring of symptoms and quality of life throughout this period.

Researchers are evaluating whether baricitinib can delay the development of clinical stage 3 type 1 diabetes T1D in children and adults at high risk.

Safety and response to treatment will be closely observed throughout the study duration to evaluate the effects of the medication.

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.

Primary immune thrombocytopenia ITP is a condition where the immune system mistakenly destroys platelets, the cells responsible for blood clotting, resulting in increased bleeding and bruising. This trial evaluates whether mezagitamab given as a subcutaneous injection can effectively maintain stable platelet counts in adults with chronic ITP compared to a placebo. The study is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to assess both the efficacy and safety of mezagitamab in this population. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either mezagitamab or a matching placebo by subcutaneous injection once weekly. The treatment schedule consists of 8 weekly doses followed by an 8-week break, then another 8 weekly doses, totaling up to 6 months of treatment. Those who finish this trial or do not respond to treatment by week 16 may have the option to join a continuation study to receive open-label mezagitamab if eligible and if the site is open. During the study, participants will visit the clinic multiple times for treatment and monitoring. Researchers will measure platelet responses, symptom changes using patient questionnaires, bleeding events, and blood concentrations of mezagitamab. Safety assessments include monitoring for anti-drug antibodies and adverse events. The primary outcome is the percentage of participants with a durable platelet response up to week 24. The trial is expected to complete in March 2028.

Researchers are evaluating orforglipron to measure its effects on cardiovascular outcomes in adults aged 50 and older who have atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ASCVD andor chronic kidney disease CKD.
