Researchers are evaluating the combination of baxdrostat and dapagliflozin in people with chronic kidney disease CKD and high blood pressure hypertension. This Phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to assess whether this combination reduces the risk of serious kidney damage, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death compared to dapagliflozin alone. The study includes participants with CKD and hypertension who meet specific kidney function and blood pressure criteria. Participants who are not already taking SGLT2 inhibitors will first complete a 4-week dapagliflozin run-in period. Then, they will be randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat plus dapagliflozin or a placebo plus dapagliflozin. Baxdrostat dosing may start low and be increased if needed. Study visits will occur at 2, 4, 8, 16, 34, and 52 weeks after randomization, and then approximately every four months until the study ends, which is based on the number of key kidney or heart-related events. Throughout the study, participants will have regular assessments including blood tests to monitor kidney function and potassium levels, blood pressure measurements, and evaluations of heart and kidney health. If participants stop the blinded study drug early, they will continue dapagliflozin if possible and remain in the study for ongoing visits and monitoring. The main outcome is whether the combination treatment reduces the risk of a 50% sustained decline in kidney function, kidney failure, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death over up to 37 months.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of different doses of a new medicine called NNC0519-0130 in people living with chronic kidney disease, some of whom have type 2 diabetes and are overweight or obese. This Phase 2 study also compares NNC0519-0130 to semaglutide, an already prescribed medicine, and a placebo to see how they may improve kidney function. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive once-weekly subcutaneous injections of NNC0519-0130 with a fixed dose escalation until reaching a maintenance dose, semaglutide with a similar dosing schedule, or a placebo matching NNC0519-0130. The treatment period lasts up to 43 weeks with several dosing schemes and groups. During the study, participants will have their kidney function monitored through urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio changes at weeks 12, 24, and 36. Other assessments include estimated glomerular filtration rate, body weight changes, waist circumference, blood pressure, and glycated hemoglobin levels. Safety will be evaluated by tracking adverse events throughout the trial duration. Participants will be regularly assessed to understand the medicines effects and safety.

This study evaluates the long-term safety and tolerability of pelacarsen TQJ230 in people with established cardiovascular disease and elevated Lipoproteina who completed a previous related study. It is an open-label extension trial, meaning all participants receive the study drug without placebo comparison. The trial is sponsored by Novartis Pharmaceuticals and focuses on continued treatment after the completion of the parent study. Participants receive monthly injections of pelacarsen 80 mg subcutaneously for up to 36 months during this extension phase. This phase is designed to provide access to the study drug after the initial trial and to monitor participants closely. The study does not involve randomization or blinding, and all enrolled participants receive the active drug. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including monitoring for adverse events and cardiovascular events, as well as measuring Lipoproteina levels at baseline and several time points over 36 months. Safety and tolerability will be closely tracked throughout the treatment period. The total duration of participation corresponds to the length of the extension phase, up to three years.

Researchers are conducting a combined Phase 2b and Phase 3 clinical trial to study CSL300 Clazakizumab in adults with end stage kidney disease ESKD who are undergoing maintenance dialysis. The study aims to find the right dose of CSL300 and then evaluate its effect on cardiovascular outcomes and safety in people with systemic inflammation and either atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ASCVD or diabetes. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving multiple centers. Participants will receive intravenous IV administration of either CSL300 or a placebo. The Phase 2b part focuses on determining the appropriate dose of CSL300 compared to placebo over about 12 weeks, while the Phase 3 part examines CSL300s effect on cardiovascular events over approximately five years. The study includes different dosing groups in Phase 2b and a larger comparison of CSL300 versus placebo in Phase 3. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly with blood tests that measure inflammation markers such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein hs-CRP, cardiovascular events, and safety outcomes. Researchers will track changes in various blood components and adverse events up to 32 weeks in Phase 2b and follow cardiovascular outcomes for up to five years in Phase 3. The total participation lasts through these periods with scheduled assessments to evaluate treatment effects and safety.

This research aims to evaluate the effects of combining baxdrostat with dapagliflozin compared to dapagliflozin alone in adults aged 40 and older who have type 2 diabetes, established cardiovascular disease, a history of hypertension with a systolic blood pressure of at least 130 mmHg, and at least one additional risk factor for heart failure. The study is a phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled trial focusing on preventing heart failure events and cardiovascular death. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat with dapagliflozin or placebo with dapagliflozin. Those starting the baxdrostatdapagliflozin treatment may begin with a lower baxdrostat dose that can be increased if certain criteria are met. A run-in period with dapagliflozin alone for 4 to 6 weeks may occur for those not previously treated or treated less than 4 weeks with SGLT2 inhibitors. Treatment visits will occur at about 2, 4, 8, 16, and 34 weeks after randomization, then every 4 months until study closure. Participants will undergo screening for eligibility within a 14-day period, with an optional pre-screening phase that does not require site visits or consent. During the study, regular assessments including monitoring for heart failure events and cardiovascular outcomes will be conducted. If participants stop the blinded treatment early, they may continue with open-label dapagliflozin unless specific discontinuation criteria apply. The study will continue until a predetermined number of cardiovascular events occur, with ongoing data collection and visits according to protocol.

Researchers are examining the effect of abelacimab compared to a placebo in patients with atrial fibrillation AF who are considered unsuitable for oral anticoagulation therapy. This Phase 3 study focuses on high-risk patients with AF to evaluate whether abelacimab can reduce the occurrence of ischemic stroke or systemic embolism. The study is led by Anthos Therapeutics, Inc. and aims to address treatment options in patients where traditional anticoagulation is deemed inappropriate. Participants are randomly assigned in equal numbers to receive either abelacimab 150 mg or a matching placebo by subcutaneous injection once a month. The study consists of three periods a screening period lasting up to 60 days, a double-blind treatment period that continues until at least 111 patients experience a primary endpoint event, and an end-of-treatment visit. Following this, participants may enter a 30-day follow-up or an optional open-label extension to receive abelacimab, depending on eligibility and regulatory approval. During the study, participants undergo assessments to monitor stroke, systemic embolism, and bleeding events, with the primary outcomes measured up to 30 months. Safety is tracked by recording bleeding events classified by the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium. Secondary outcomes include cardiovascular and all-cause mortality and other thrombotic events. The study also involves regular monitoring and follow-up visits to assess efficacy and safety throughout the treatment and observation periods.
