Researchers are studying people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis IPF or progressive pulmonary fibrosis PPF who have previously taken nerandomilast in another study. The aim is to assess how well patients tolerate long-term treatment with nerandomilast and to evaluate whether it improves lung function and delays worsening symptoms, hospital visits, or death. This open-label extension trial is sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim and focuses on treatment over an extended period. Participants take nerandomilast tablets for up to 1 year and 10 months while continuing their usual pulmonary fibrosis treatments. The study involves a single treatment group receiving the drug, and no placebo or comparison groups. Regular visits with doctors help monitor health and collect data during this extended treatment phase. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular lung function tests and health assessments to track any adverse events and changes in lung capacity. The main outcome measured is the occurrence of any adverse events for up to about 99 weeks. Secondary outcomes include changes in forced vital capacity and time to worsening of disease symptoms or hospitalization. The study includes ongoing safety monitoring with a total participation time of up to nearly two years.

Researchers are studying the impact and burden of three skin conditions moderate or severe alopecia areata, non-segmental vitiligo, and moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa. The study includes adolescents and adults and aims to understand how these conditions affect quality of life and daily functioning in a large global population. This is an observational study where participants with each condition will have a single visit for data collection following routine clinical practice. No experimental treatments are given instead, the study gathers information during this one visit to assess disease characteristics and impact. During the visit, participants will complete questionnaires and clinical assessments specific to their condition. These include tools measuring symptom impact, hair loss severity, skin depigmentation, and quality of life related to each disease. This helps researchers better understand the real-world burden of these conditions. Participation involves only this one visit, with no long-term follow-up or additional procedures.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of combining calderasib with pembrolizumab as the first treatment for people with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has a specific KRAS G12C mutation and a PD-L1 tumor proportion score of 50% or higher. The study compares this combination to pembrolizumab with a placebo to see if it improves the time participants live without the cancer worsening and overall survival. Participants receive pembrolizumab through an intravenous infusion every 21 days for up to 35 cycles. They also take calderasib or a matching placebo by mouth daily until they meet criteria to stop treatment. The study is randomized and double-blind, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives calderasib or placebo. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor cancer progression, overall survival, response rate, and quality of life measures through questionnaires. Safety will be closely monitored by tracking adverse events and treatment discontinuations. The study may last up to about 56 months, including follow-up to observe long-term outcomes and quality of life changes.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of E6742 tablets in adults aged 18 to 75 years with systemic lupus erythematosus SLE. This Phase 2 trial aims to compare different doses of E6742 with a placebo by measuring the proportion of participants who achieve a response using the BILAG-based Composite Lupus Assessment BICLA while on a low dose of oral corticosteroids at Week 24. The study focuses on improving disease control in SLE patients under stable treatment conditions. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups receiving either placebo or one of three different doses of E6742 oral tablets. The treatment period lasts 24 weeks, during which participants continue their standard SLE treatments at stable doses. The study includes careful monitoring of responses and safety through various assessments, including laboratory tests and clinical evaluations. During the trial, participants will undergo regular evaluations to measure disease activity, side effects, and drug levels. Assessments include the BILAG-2004, SLEDAI-2K, electrocardiograms, ophthalmic exams, chest X-rays, and patient-reported outcomes. Safety is monitored throughout the 52-week period, with detailed tracking of adverse events and laboratory parameters. Participants will be involved in scheduled visits and assessments to understand the drugs effects and tolerability over time.

Researchers are evaluating the addition of Saruparib AZD5305 to standard radiation therapy RT and androgen deprivation therapy ADT for men with high-risk or very high-risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer who have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. The study aims to determine if Saruparib improves metastases-free survival compared to placebo when added to these treatments. This phase 3 trial involves approximately 700 adult male participants. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either Saruparib or a matching placebo alongside physicians choice of ADT, with or without abiraterone and prednisoneprednisolone, depending on their cohort. Cohort A includes those receiving RT and continuous ADT, while Cohort B includes participants receiving RT, ADT, and abiraterone. Saruparib and placebo are administered orally. Treatment continues with close monitoring throughout the study. Participants will undergo scans including CT or MRI, bone scans, and PSMA-PET after their planned RT to confirm eligibility and monitor disease status. They will be followed for survival and disease progression for up to approximately 11 years. Researchers will assess metastasis-free survival, overall survival, prostate cancer-specific survival, biochemical recurrence, physical function, and urinary symptoms. Safety and drug levels will also be monitored. An independent committee will review safety and efficacy regularly throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating nipocalimab to reduce the risk of fetal anemia and other serious complications in pregnancies at high risk for severe Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn HDFN. The study compares nipocalimab to a placebo in pregnant participants to see if it can decrease risks like fetal loss, the need for intrauterine transfusions, hydrops fetalis, or neonatal death. This phase 3 trial focuses on pregnancies with maternal alloantibody presence and previous severe HDFN history. Participants receive either nipocalimab or a matching placebo through weekly intravenous infusions starting at randomization until gestational week 35. The study is randomized and triple-masked, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives the drug or placebo. The treatment period covers the pregnancy phase where risk is highest, with careful monitoring throughout. During the study, participants undergo various assessments including lab tests, antibody titers, fetal antigen testing, and physical exams to monitor health. Researchers track pregnancy outcomes through delivery and up to 4 weeks after birth or 41 weeks postmenstrual age for newborns. Long-term infant health, including development and complications related to HDFN, is followed for up to 104 weeks. Safety and maternal outcomes are also closely observed until 24 weeks postpartum.

This research aims to evaluate how well and safely orforglipron works in adult female participants with stress urinary incontinence SUI who also have obesity or are overweight. SUI is a condition where urine leaks during activities such as coughing or exercising. The study is a Phase 3 clinical trial conducted under a master protocol supporting two independent studies, focusing on this specific population. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either orforglipron or a placebo, both given orally once daily. The study uses a double-blind design with parallel groups to compare the effects of orforglipron against placebo. The treatment period lasts approximately 52 weeks, followed by safety follow-up, making total participation about 58 weeks from screening to study completion. During the study, participants will undergo assessments including measuring changes in the frequency of incontinence episodes, body weight, quality of life related to urinary incontinence, use of continence pads, and cholesterol levels. Researchers will monitor waist circumference and patient impressions of their condition as well. Safety follow-up continues after treatment to ensure participant well-being throughout the study duration.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of baxdrostat compared to a placebo in adults aged 18 years and older with Primary Aldosteronism PA. This Phase III, global study involves approximately 250 participants and aims to reduce seated blood pressure and normalize the Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System RAAS. Participants may have prior treatment with Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists MRAs or potassium-sparing diuretics. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat or a matching placebo, both given orally once daily. The dose may be increased after two weeks depending on the participants clinical response and how well they tolerate the medication. The study is conducted across about 90 centers in 12 countries and involves parallel groups. Throughout the study, participants will have their seated systolic blood pressure and RAAS activity measured at week 8 to assess changes from baseline. Additional assessments include monitoring potassium levels, urine aldosterone, and albumin levels up to week 52. Safety and treatment effects will be regularly evaluated during visits. Total participation spans from screening through treatment and follow-up visits as scheduled.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of a combination of follitropin alfa and lutropin alfa in Japanese women with luteinizing hormone LH and follicle stimulating hormone FSH deficiency who are undergoing assisted reproductive technology ART. This Phase 3 study focuses on women who have had at most one previous ART stimulation without pregnancy and aims to compare this combination product with human menopausal gonadotropin hMG. Participants will receive either a fixed combination of recombinant follitropin alfa and lutropin alfa in a 21 ratio or hMG during ovarian stimulation. The follitropin alfalutropin alfa combination is administered subcutaneously once daily starting with 150 IU of follitropin alfa and 75 IU of lutropin alfa for up to 18 days. Additional medications such as cetrorelix acetate, corio gonadotropin alfa, and progesterone gel are used during ovarian stimulation, final follicular maturation, and luteal phase support. During the study, participants will be monitored through vaginal ultrasound scans, semen analysis, and cytologic tests. Researchers will measure the total number of oocytes retrieved, hormone levels, number of follicles, fertilization rates, blastocyst freezing, and pregnancy outcomes. Safety will be assessed by tracking adverse events, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome occurrences, laboratory changes, and local reactions over approximately 5.5 months for nonpregnant participants and up to 13 months for those with confirmed pregnancy.

Researchers are evaluating finerenone compared to a placebo to assess the effectiveness and safety of treatment in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction HFrEF who cannot tolerate or are not eligible for steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists sMRA. This international study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial focused on this specific group of heart failure patients. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either oral finerenone or a matching placebo. The study uses a parallel design and treatment will be monitored for up to about 30 months. During this time, researchers will track cardiovascular events, heart failure events, and any serious or adverse events leading to discontinuation of the study drug. Throughout the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including symptom questionnaires and monitoring for cardiovascular outcomes and safety. The main outcomes include the time to the first cardiovascular death or heart failure event and the number of serious adverse events. The study also tracks changes in symptom scores over six months and overall survival. Participants will be followed closely during treatment and after to understand both efficacy and safety.
