Researchers are evaluating if combining the medicines calderasib and subcutaneous pembrolizumab can more effectively treat people with non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has a KRAS G12C mutation. The study aims to find out whether patients receiving calderasib with pembrolizumab live longer without their cancer growing or spreading compared to those receiving pembrolizumab with chemotherapy. This is a Phase 3 clinical trial focusing on first-line treatment for advanced or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC. Participants are assigned to one of two groups. One group receives subcutaneous pembrolizumab plus berahyaluronidase alfa every 6 weeks for up to 18 cycles about 2 years along with oral calderasib until treatment discontinuation criteria are met. The other group receives the same pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa regimen plus chemotherapy with pemetrexed and either carboplatin or cisplatin infusions during the early cycles. Treatment continues based on individual response and tolerability. During the study, participants will have regular visits for treatment and monitoring. Researchers will assess progression-free survival, overall survival, response rates, and quality of life using questionnaires and symptom scores over several years. Safety will be monitored through adverse event reporting. The trial lasts up to about 7 years with ongoing evaluation of health outcomes and side effects to understand the impact of these treatment combinations.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of dupilumab treatment on children aged 2 to under 6 years with uncontrolled asthma andor recurrent severe asthmatic wheeze. This Phase 3 study aims to assess both the efficacy and long-term safety of dupilumab compared to a placebo. The study is conducted in two parts to thoroughly evaluate treatment outcomes and safety over an extended period. In Part A, children will be randomly assigned to receive either dupilumab or a matching placebo through subcutaneous injections over a 52-week treatment period following a 4-week screening phase. After this, there is a 12-week follow-up to monitor any ongoing effects. Participants who qualify may choose to enter Part B, an optional open-label extension where all receive dupilumab for an additional 52 weeks, followed by another 12-week safety follow-up. Throughout the study, participants will be regularly assessed for asthma exacerbations, medication use, symptom control, quality of life, and medication safety. Caregivers will complete diaries and questionnaires about asthma symptoms and control. Blood tests will monitor eosinophil levels, immune responses, and drug concentrations. The total time in the study can be up to 120 weeks, allowing researchers to observe long-term treatment effects and safety.

Researchers are evaluating tozorakimab as an additional treatment to standard care in adults hospitalized with viral lung infection who need supplemental oxygen. The study aims to determine if tozorakimab can help prevent death or the need for invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. This Phase III trial involves a large group of participants to assess the safety and effectiveness of this approach. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups one group receives a single intravenous dose of tozorakimab on the first day, while the other group receives a matching placebo. The study uses a double-blind design, meaning neither participants nor researchers know which treatment is given. This helps ensure unbiased results. The treatments are given once, and participants continue to receive standard care during the trial. During the study, participants are closely monitored and evaluated up to 60 days after treatment. Researchers track important outcomes such as death rates, progression to invasive ventilation, days alive outside intensive care, and oxygen use. They also assess clinical progression using a World Health Organization scale and monitor for any anti-drug antibodies. The trial lasts until November 2027, with multiple assessments throughout to understand the treatments impact and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of a subcutaneous drug called lunsekimig compared to placebo in adults aged 40 to 80 years who have inadequately controlled Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease COPD with an eosinophilic phenotype. This Phase 2b3 study aims to better understand how lunsekimig might affect COPD symptoms and exacerbations in this specific group. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups lunsekimig dose regimen A, lunsekimig dose regimen B, or a matching placebo. All treatments are given by subcutaneous injection during a 48-week intervention period. The study includes a screening period up to 4 weeks before treatment and an approximately 8-week follow-up after the intervention, for a total duration of up to 60 weeks. During the study, participants will have regular assessments including lung function tests and symptom questionnaires. Researchers will monitor the annual rate of moderate-to-severe COPD exacerbations as the primary outcome. Secondary measures include changes in lung function and quality of life scores, along with safety evaluations such as monitoring adverse events and laboratory tests. Blood samples will be collected to measure drug levels and antibody responses. Participants are observed throughout the treatment and follow-up periods to assess the effects and tolerability of lunsekimig.

Researchers are evaluating pembrolizumab combined with carboplatin and taxane chemotherapy as a first-line treatment for metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC. This phase 3 trial aims to compare overall survival between patients receiving pembrolizumab with maintenance sacituzumab tirumotecan sac-TMT and those receiving pembrolizumab alone during maintenance therapy. The study explores whether the addition of sac-TMT improves outcomes for patients with this type of lung cancer. Participants first undergo an induction phase of four cycles receiving pembrolizumab every 3 weeks along with carboplatin and either paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel. After induction, they are randomly assigned to one of two maintenance groups pembrolizumab alone every 6 weeks for up to 96 weeks, or pembrolizumab combined with sac-TMT every 2 weeks until discontinuation criteria are met. The chemotherapy drugs are given intravenously during the induction phase, and maintenance treatments continue intravenously according to assigned groups. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for overall survival as the primary outcome, with secondary outcomes including progression-free survival, adverse events, treatment discontinuations, and quality of life measures such as dyspnea, cough, and chest pain. Assessments include tumor scans to evaluate disease status, performance status checks, and patient-reported questionnaires on symptoms and health-related quality of life. Participants are followed for up to approximately 79 months to gather comprehensive safety and efficacy data, with ongoing monitoring by the research team.

Researchers are comparing the combination of sacituzumab tirumotecan and pembrolizumab to pembrolizumab alone for people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC who have high PD-L1 expression 50% or more. The study aims to see if the combination improves overall survival compared to pembrolizumab by itself. This is a Phase 3 clinical trial focusing on first-line treatment in this patient group. Participants receive either sacituzumab tirumotecan plus pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab alone. Sacituzumab tirumotecan is given by intravenous infusion on Days 1, 15, and 29 of each 6-week cycle, while pembrolizumab is given by intravenous infusion every 6 weeks for up to 18 cycles. Supportive medications such as diphenhydramine, acetaminophen, dexamethasone, and H2 antagonists are used before some infusions to manage side effects. Participants who complete the first pembrolizumab course and show disease progression may be eligible for additional pembrolizumab cycles. Throughout the trial, participants will have regular assessments including scans and evaluations to measure overall survival and other outcomes such as progression-free survival, tumor response, and quality of life. Researchers will also monitor symptoms like cough, chest pain, and breathing difficulties. Safety is closely followed over up to approximately 77 months, with detailed data collected on adverse events and treatment discontinuation. The total participation duration can last several years depending on individual progress and treatment response.
