Researchers are evaluating whether an investigational drug called OHB-607 can prevent Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD), a common chronic lung disease, in extremely premature infants. The study compares infants receiving OHB-607 alongside standard neonatal care to those receiving standard care alone to reduce the burden of this lung condition. This is a Phase 2b, multicenter, randomized, open-label study focused on safety and clinical efficacy. Participants will receive an intravenous infusion of OHB-607 from birth until reaching a postmenstrual age (PMA) of 29 weeks and 6 days. The study includes two arms: one group receives the investigational drug plus standard care, while the other group receives only standard neonatal care. The treatment period ends at 29 weeks plus 6 days PMA, after which infants are monitored. Throughout the study, researchers will track the incidence of severe BPD or death up to 36 weeks PMA, whichever occurs first. Assessments will include clinical evaluations and monitoring for safety and any side effects. The study also involves long-term follow-up to observe the infants' health outcomes beyond the treatment period. Participation involves consent from parents and collection of birth and medical history information.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and performance of the AMJ-401 Everolimus Eluting Resorbable Scaffold System for treating patients with ischemic heart disease who have one or two new coronary artery lesions. This clinical investigation focuses on patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in separate epicardial coronary vessels. The study aims to gather evidence on this device's use in native coronary artery lesions. Patients will receive the AMJ-401 device during PCI to treat their coronary artery blockages. This device is designed to be a resorbable scaffold that elutes everolimus. The study includes patients who require treatment for one or two de novo lesions in separate vessels. There is no mention of comparator groups or additional interventions. The trial is conducted in Japan and assesses outcomes at 6 months. Participants will be monitored for outcomes including acute strut fracture and strut coverage at 6 months after the procedure. The study involves follow-up evaluations and assessments to measure these outcomes. Participants must consent to the study and meet eligibility criteria before enrollment. The study monitors safety and device performance during and after the intervention.

Researchers are studying whether combining calderasib, a targeted therapy for the KRAS G12C mutation, with subcutaneous pembrolizumab can treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study aims to determine if people receiving calderasib with pembrolizumab live longer without their cancer growing or spreading compared to those receiving pembrolizumab with chemotherapy. This is a phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter clinical trial focusing on participants with advanced or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC carrying the KRAS G12C mutation. Participants will receive one of two treatment combinations. One group will take calderasib orally along with subcutaneous pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa injections. The other group will receive subcutaneous pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy drugs pemetrexed and a platinum-based drug, either carboplatin or cisplatin, administered by intravenous infusion. These treatments are given as first-line therapy, and the study evaluates their safety and effectiveness. During the study, researchers will monitor participants for progression-free survival, especially focusing on those with at least 1% PD-L1 tumor proportion score, for up to approximately 48 months. Participants will undergo regular assessments to track cancer progression and response to treatment. Safety and efficacy data will be collected throughout the study to understand how well the treatments work and their side effects over time.

Researchers are evaluating a new treatment called ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd) for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This study compares I-DXd to chemotherapy to see if it helps people live longer overall and live longer without their cancer worsening. It is a Phase 3, open-label trial focused on patients who have progressed on prior therapies and have evidence of metastatic disease. Participants receive either I-DXd through an intravenous infusion every 3 weeks or docetaxel chemotherapy administered every 3 weeks. Prednisone tablets are also given daily as part of the treatment plan. Before each I-DXd dose, premedication is provided to help prevent nausea and vomiting using a combination of drugs such as corticosteroids and anti-nausea medicines. Treatment continues until disease progression, unacceptable side effects, or other reasons to stop. During the study, researchers monitor overall survival and how long patients live without their cancer progressing, for up to about 36 months. Participants undergo tumor tissue collection, scans, and assessments to track disease status and side effects. Safety is closely watched throughout treatment. The study includes men aged 18 and older with confirmed prostate cancer and metastatic disease who have previously received certain hormone therapies but no prior taxane chemotherapy for mCRPC.

Researchers are studying a treatment called MK-2214 to see if it can slow certain brain changes in people with early Alzheimer's disease (AD). AD is a form of dementia that causes memory loss, difficulties with communication, and challenges in decision-making, which affect daily activities. The study aims to find out if MK-2214 can slow the spread of tau protein in the brain compared to a placebo and to assess the safety and tolerability of MK-2214. Participants will receive either MK-2214 or a placebo through an intravenous (IV) infusion. The study is designed as a phase 2, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial with parallel groups. The treatment period lasts up to about 23 months, during which participants will receive infusions as scheduled. The placebo looks like the study treatment but contains no active drug, helping researchers understand the treatment's effects. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for changes in tau protein levels in the brain using PET scans and for any adverse events or side effects. Researchers will track the number of participants experiencing adverse events and those who stop treatment because of them, with safety follow-up lasting up to approximately 26 months. Participants will also undergo brain imaging such as CT, PET, or MRI scans. The study involves regular assessments to measure the treatment's impact and ensure participant safety over the study duration.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of enicepatide, a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist, for managing weight in adults with obesity or overweight who also have Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This Phase III study compares multiple doses of enicepatide to a placebo to understand its impact on weight loss in this population. Participants receive either enicepatide or a placebo once weekly through an integrated drug-device combination. The study uses a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design to assess the effects of the treatment. The placebo is volume-matched and administered using the same method as the active drug. During the study, participants will have their body weight changes measured up to week 72 to assess efficacy. Researchers will monitor weight changes as the primary outcome. Participants must be able to self-administer the injections or receive them from a trained individual, and their safety and adherence will be observed throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating enicepatide, a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist, to see how well it works and how safe it is for weight management in adults who are obese or overweight and do not have Type 2 diabetes. The study compares different doses of enicepatide with a placebo to understand its effects. Participants must have a body mass index (BMI) of at least 30, or a BMI between 27 and 30 with at least one weight-related health issue such as prediabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea. Participants will receive once-weekly injections of either enicepatide or a placebo using an integrated drug-device combination product. The treatment is randomized and double-blinded, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who gets the active medication or placebo during the study. The study is a Phase III trial, and treatments continue over a period leading up to week 72. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for changes in body weight, with the primary measure being the percent change from baseline to week 72. Safety and efficacy will be assessed regularly, and participants will self-administer the injections or receive help if needed. The study also tracks any side effects and overall health status to understand the long-term effects of enicepatide for weight management.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of trontinemab in people aged 50 to 90 with early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, ranging from mild cognitive impairment to mild dementia. This Phase III clinical trial focuses on those who show evidence of Alzheimer's pathology and have a recent history of cognitive decline. The study aims to measure changes in cognitive function over 72 weeks. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either intravenous trontinemab or a placebo. The trial is designed as a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives the active drug or placebo. The treatment period lasts up to 72 weeks, during which participants will undergo various assessments to monitor their cognitive status and safety. During the study, participants will complete clinical tests including cognitive assessments and imaging such as MRI, PET scans, or cerebrospinal fluid analysis to confirm Alzheimer's pathology. A study partner will assist participants as needed. Researchers will track changes from the start of the study through week 72 using tools like the Clinical Dementia Rating. Safety monitoring and adherence to study procedures will also be closely observed throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the risk of liver disorders in Japanese patients diagnosed with Alagille Syndrome (ALGS) or Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC) who are treated with maralixibat (TAK-625). This study uses data collected from a medical database called the Comprehensive and Informative Registry system for Childhood Liver Disease (CIRCLe) to monitor these conditions. The treatment being studied is maralixibat, provided as an oral solution at a concentration of 10 milligrams per milliliter. The study observes patients who have been prescribed this medication during the enrollment period, focusing on those with ALGS or PFIC diagnoses. Participants' data will be evaluated for the percentage who experience liver disorders and the time it takes for liver disorders to develop while using maralixibat. The study's observation period extends up to six years, during which liver disorder side effects are monitored and recorded through the database system.

This research aims to assess the safety of Immune Globulin Subcutaneous (Human), 20% Solution in people with primary immunodeficiency disease (PID) by analyzing medical records in Japan. The study uses data from the PIDJ2, a registry that collects information on patients with PID. The goal is to understand how often serious side effects like anaphylactic reactions, thromboembolism, and aseptic meningitis occur in these patients over a long period. The study is retrospective, meaning it looks back at existing patient data rather than assigning treatments prospectively. Participants include those recorded in the PIDJ2 database who have received the study drug, CUVITRU 20% Solution. Data will be collected from the time patients first received the drug or were registered in the database, with follow-up continuing for up to five years. No new treatments or procedures are administered as part of the study. During the study, researchers will review medical records to identify adverse events and monitor safety outcomes. They will count how many participants experience specific serious adverse effects during the follow-up period. The study involves no direct contact with patients, focusing instead on analyzing registry data over an extended timeframe to evaluate the drug's safety in real-world use.
