Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab monotherapy as the first-line treatment for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer mNSCLC whose tumors express high levels of PD-L1. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, multicenter global study focuses on patients with mNSCLC without certain genetic mutations who are suitable for this treatment approach. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. The study compares these two drugs over repeated treatment cycles as first-line therapy. Both treatments are biological agents given by infusion, and the study is designed to monitor their effects over up to approximately five years. During the trial, participants will undergo regular assessments including physical exams, imaging scans such as CT or MRI to measure tumor lesions, and laboratory tests to evaluate organ function. Researchers will closely monitor overall survival, progression-free survival, treatment response, duration of response, and patient-reported outcomes on physical functioning and quality of life. Safety and immunogenicity of rilvegostomig will also be evaluated. Participants are followed and assessed for up to five years to gather comprehensive data on treatment effects and long-term outcomes.

Researchers are evaluating AZD8965 in a Phase IIb trial to study its safety, tolerability, and effectiveness in treating Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis IPF. The study compares three doses of AZD8965 to a placebo in participants with IPF, including those who are on stable doses of approved antifibrotic therapies such as nintedanib, pirfenidone, or nerandomilast, as well as those not taking antifibrotic treatment. The trial is randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, and parallel-group in design. Participants are assigned to one of four groups placebo, low dose AZD8965, medium dose AZD8965, or high dose AZD8965. The treatment lasts for 24 weeks, during which participants receive their assigned medication. The study includes approximately 360 participants across around 200 sites worldwide. Researchers aim to assess the clinical efficacy of AZD8965 by measuring changes in lung function and study the relationship between dose and outcomes. During the study, participants will undergo various assessments including lung function tests such as forced vital capacity FVC, monitoring for adverse events, and pharmacokinetic analyses of AZD8965. Safety and tolerability are monitored up to 25 weeks. Researchers will also track any serious adverse events and treatment discontinuations. The total participation time covers the 24-week treatment period with scheduled visits to assess the study outcomes and participant health.

Researchers are assessing the effectiveness and safety of rilvegostomig combined with fluoropyrimidine and trastuzumab deruxtecan compared to trastuzumab, chemotherapy, and pembrolizumab in adults with HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction GEJ adenocarcinoma whose tumors express PD-L1 CPS 1. The study also evaluates rilvegostomig combined with trastuzumab and chemotherapy to understand the contribution of each treatment component. This is a Phase 2, randomized, open-label, global, multicenter trial sponsored by AstraZeneca. Participants are divided into three groups Arm A receives T-DXd, rilvegostomig, and fluoropyrimidine capecitabine or 5-FU Arm B receives pembrolizumab, trastuzumab, and chemotherapy either 5-FU plus cisplatin or capecitabine plus oxaliplatin Arm C receives rilvegostomig, trastuzumab, and chemotherapy 5-FU plus cisplatin or capecitabine plus oxaliplatin. Treatments are given by intravenous infusion every three weeks or oral administration twice daily for capecitabine. This setup allows comparison of different combinations to evaluate each drugs role. During the study, participants will be monitored for progression-free survival and overall survival up to about six years. Researchers will also assess response rates, duration of response, adverse events, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and quality-of-life factors like eating difficulties and side-effect burden. The study involves regular assessments including tumor measurements and laboratory tests. Participation may last several years, with safety and efficacy closely followed throughout this time.

This research is an extension study for participants with cancer who have been previously enrolled in a Genentech andor F. Hoffmann-La Roche sponsored study. It aims to provide continued treatment with Roche investigational medicinal products IMPs either as monotherapy or combined with other agents for those still on study treatment at the time of rollover, particularly when local access to the study treatment is not available. The study is open-label and multicenter, focusing on long-term treatment continuation under medical supervision. Participants will continue receiving Roche IMPs following the same dose, schedule, and administration guidelines as in the parent study. Treatments include monotherapy or combination therapy with drugs such as Ipatasertib, Tiragolumab, Atezolizumab, Bevacizumab, Entrectinib, Inavolisib, and Divarasib. Treatment continues until disease progression, loss of clinical benefit, death, withdrawal of consent, unacceptable toxicity, pregnancy, non-compliance, local treatment availability, or study termination. During the study, participants are monitored for ongoing treatment benefits and adverse events as assessed by standard criteria. Researchers measure the number of participants maintaining access to Roche IMP-based therapy and track the number and severity of selected adverse events over up to approximately 10 years. Safety and treatment effectiveness are evaluated regularly, with participant follow-up continuing as long as treatment is administered or until study completion.

Researchers are evaluating novel combination treatment options for adults with locally advanced or metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer NSCLC in this Phase II, multi-center, open-label study. The trial includes several sub-studies focused on specific NSCLC populations based on genomic alterations and PD-L1 expression levels. The study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary antitumor activity of various drug combinations across approximately 80 centers worldwide. Participants will receive one of three investigational drug combinations administered by intravenous infusion rilvegostomig with or without ramucirumab for first-line NSCLC with non-actionable genomic alterations and varying PD-L1 expression levels, or Dato-DXd combined with ramucirumab with or without rilvegostomig for later-line NSCLC with actionable genomic alterations. Treatments continue until disease progression, unacceptable side effects, or withdrawal from the study. Each sub-study may include initial safety run-in cohorts followed by dose expansion cohorts. Throughout the study, participants will undergo regular evaluations including tumor imaging to assess response, clinical safety monitoring, and laboratory testing. Researchers will measure outcomes such as adverse events, objective response rates, progression-free survival, and overall survival over an average of three years. Pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of the study drugs will also be monitored. Participation involves ongoing treatment and follow-up visits until study completion or discontinuation.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of Corabotase IPN10200 in adults with moderate to severe glabellar lines, which are wrinkle-like lines between the eyebrows that may affect appearance and confidence. This Phase III study compares a single dose of Corabotase to a placebo in a double-blind phase, followed by an open-label phase to assess repeat doses over time. Participants will receive injections of Corabotase or placebo into selected facial muscles. The study includes a screening period of up to 20 days, a treatment period with up to four treatment cycles where participants may receive Corabotase or placebo in the double-blind phase and Corabotase in the open-label phase, and a follow-up period lasting 24 weeks after the last injection. Multiple visits occur during the first month of treatment, followed by monthly visits. During the study, participants will have health assessments including blood tests, physical exams, ECGs, questionnaires, and diaries. Researchers will measure treatment response at week 4 and monitor safety and satisfaction through week 104. Total participation lasts up to 107 weeks, and participants may withdraw at any time.

Researchers are evaluating the combined use of vicadrostat and empagliflozin in adults with chronic heart failure who have a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction LVEF below 40%. Participants must have had chronic heart failure diagnosed at least three months before starting the study. The trial aims to find out if this combination helps people with symptomatic heart failure classified as New York Heart Association classes II to IV. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups, with an equal chance of receiving either vicadrostat plus empagliflozin tablets or placebo plus empagliflozin tablets. The study medicines are taken once daily for approximately six months up to about 3.5 years. During this time, participants may continue their usual heart failure treatments, excluding certain medications. The trial includes a double-blind design, meaning neither participants nor study staff know who receives the active drug or placebo. Throughout the study, participants visit the study site regularly, with the number of visits depending on how long they stay enrolled. Some visits may occur by phone. They answer questions about their well-being, and doctors monitor health status, record any heart failure worsening, hospitalizations, or deaths. The main outcome is the time until cardiovascular death, heart failure hospitalization, or urgent heart failure visit, which is compared between groups. Safety and side effects are also closely followed during the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety of Deucravacitinib compared to Ustekinumab in adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. This Phase 3b4 study focuses on cardiovascular events and other health outcomes over an extended period, aiming to understand how these treatments impact patients with psoriasis who have cardiovascular risk factors. The study is led by Bristol-Myers Squibb and involves random assignment of participants to either treatment. Participants receive either Deucravacitinib or Ustekinumab at specified doses on scheduled days. The study is open-label, meaning both participants and researchers know which treatment is being given. This trial runs for up to 5 years, during which patients are monitored for cardiovascular safety and other health events related to their psoriasis treatment. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular assessments to track major cardiovascular events like heart attacks, strokes, and hospitalizations, as well as monitoring for infections, cancer, and treatment side effects. Researchers collect data on liver function and lipid levels up to 60 days after the last dose. The long-term follow-up helps evaluate safety and health outcomes over several years, with study activities continuing until early 2031.

This research is investigating the safety and effectiveness of combining Trastuzumab deruxtecan T-DXd with rilvegostomig, compared to T-DXd alone or the standard chemotherapy regimen of gemcitabine plus cisplatin with durvalumab in patients who have advanced HER2-expressing biliary tract cancer and have not received prior treatment. The study focuses on patients with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic biliary tract adenocarcinoma that expresses HER2 protein. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three groups one receiving T-DXd combined with rilvegostomig, another receiving T-DXd alone, and a third group receiving standard chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin plus durvalumab. All therapies are given by intravenous infusion. The study includes an initial safety run-in phase where participants complete at least one 21-day treatment cycle, followed by a randomized portion that will assess overall survival and other efficacy measures over an estimated period of up to 50 months. During the study, participants will undergo assessments including tumor tissue testing to confirm HER2 expression, evaluations of tumor lesions using RECIST criteria, and monitoring of physical function and adverse effects. Blood samples will be collected to analyze drug levels and immune responses. Researchers will track overall survival, progression-free survival, response rates, and patient-reported tolerability throughout the treatment and up to the studys end. The study duration extends until the final data collection, which may be up to several years after enrollment.

Researchers are conducting a global, prospective, multi-center observational study to gather real-world data on the long-term effectiveness, economic value, and technical performance of Boston Scientifics commercially approved neurostimulation systems for pain management. The study focuses on patients using these neurostimulation devices according to their approved instructions for use in routine clinical practice. Participants will first undergo a neurostimulation trial period using any commercially approved Boston Scientific neurostimulator for pain. Those who experience a positive outcome from this trial may then receive a permanent implant of the neurostimulation system. Treatment customization will be guided by the investigators judgment and routine care practices at each site. During the study, participants will be observed to collect information on clinical outcomes, technical device performance, and economic factors related to neurostimulation therapy. The research team will monitor participants over the long term to assess how well the therapy manages pain and its associated benefits. The study is expected to continue until May 2035, with ongoing follow-up and data collection throughout this period.
