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 AZD0780, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor, in a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study. This trial focuses on patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ASCVD or those at high risk for a first ASCVD event. The study aims to assess how AZD0780 compares to placebo in reducing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, also known as MACE-PLUS, over the course of the trial. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either oral AZD0780 once daily or a matching placebo once daily. The study continues until a primary analysis censoring date, which may be up to approximately 54 months from randomization. After this, a study closure visit will be conducted as the final visit for each participant. During the study, participants will be regularly monitored for cardiovascular events including heart attacks, strokes, urgent coronary revascularizations, and other related outcomes. Researchers will track the time to first occurrence of these events as the primary outcome. Safety and other secondary outcomes like all-cause mortality will also be assessed. The total participation time can last up to about 54 months, with ongoing evaluations throughout this period.

The total participation duration can be up to several years to capture long-term outcomes.

Researchers are evaluating oral icotrokinra as a treatment for adults and adolescents with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the large intestine causing ulcers in the colon lining. The study aims to assess how well icotrokinra works, along with its safety and tolerability in this population. This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with a parallel group design including both adults and adolescents. Adult participants will be randomly assigned to receive either icotrokinra or placebo daily by mouth during a 12-week induction phase. At Week 12, those showing clinical response will enter a maintenance phase where they will continue icotrokinra or placebo daily for 40 weeks. Adults who do not respond will also enter the maintenance phase and receive icotrokinra. Adolescents will receive open-label icotrokinra during induction and then continue on icotrokinra during maintenance regardless of response. After completing the 40-week maintenance phase, eligible participants may join a long-term extension study. Participants will be monitored regularly through clinical assessments at specified time points including Week 12 for induction and Week 40 for maintenance. Outcomes measured include rates of clinical remission, symptom improvement, endoscopic and histologic healing, and quality of life scores. Safety will be evaluated by tracking adverse and serious adverse events throughout the study. The total study duration may extend up to approximately 6 years, ending in 2032, allowing long-term evaluation of icotrokinra in ulcerative colitis management.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of E6742 tablets in adults aged 18 to 75 years with systemic lupus erythematosus SLE.

Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of several treatments two different doses of icotrokinra or a matching placebo, taken orally every day during an induction period of up to 12 weeks. Based on their response at Week 12, participants may continue with maintenance dosing or placebo up to Week 40. Those completing the maintenance phase may join a long-term extension study for further evaluation. During the trial, participants will be monitored with clinical assessments, endoscopy, and patient-reported outcomes to measure response, remission, and safety. The main outcomes include clinical response and remission at Weeks 12 and 40, along with endoscopic healing. Safety will be tracked through adverse event reporting up to four weeks after the last dose. The study is expected to continue until 2032, with multiple visits for treatment and evaluations throughout.

Researchers are evaluating nipocalimab, a drug given intravenously or subcutaneously, for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis gMG, a condition causing muscle weakness. This Phase 3 study aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of nipocalimab against a placebo and to understand how the drug works in the body when given by injection under the skin versus through a vein. The study includes a subcutaneous substudy to explore these differences in delivery methods. Participants receive nipocalimab intravenous infusions every two weeks for up to 24 weeks during a double-blind placebo-controlled phase. Those completing this phase can enter an open-label extension, choosing to continue receiving intravenous nipocalimab or switch to the subcutaneous form given weekly for eight weeks, with the option to continue longer in a long-term extension. Placebo is also given intravenously every two weeks in the control group during the double-blind phase. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular assessments including muscle function scores, quality of life evaluations, and blood tests measuring antibody levels and drug concentration. Researchers monitor safety by tracking adverse events and changes in clinical and laboratory parameters. The study measures changes in activities of daily living related to myasthenia gravis over time. Participation may last several years, as long-term monitoring continues after the initial treatment phases to evaluate ongoing effects and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of nipocalimab on children aged 2 to less than 18 years with generalized myasthenia gravis gMG, a condition causing muscle weakness.
