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 AZD0780, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor, in a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study. This trial focuses on patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ASCVD or those at high risk for a first ASCVD event. The study aims to assess how AZD0780 compares to placebo in reducing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, also known as MACE-PLUS, over the course of the trial. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either oral AZD0780 once daily or a matching placebo once daily. The study continues until a primary analysis censoring date, which may be up to approximately 54 months from randomization. After this, a study closure visit will be conducted as the final visit for each participant. During the study, participants will be regularly monitored for cardiovascular events including heart attacks, strokes, urgent coronary revascularizations, and other related outcomes. Researchers will track the time to first occurrence of these events as the primary outcome. Safety and other secondary outcomes like all-cause mortality will also be assessed. The total participation time can last up to about 54 months, with ongoing evaluations throughout this period.

Researchers are evaluating oral icotrokinra as a treatment for adults and adolescents with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the large intestine causing ulcers in the colon lining. The study aims to assess how well icotrokinra works, along with its safety and tolerability in this population. This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with a parallel group design including both adults and adolescents. Adult participants will be randomly assigned to receive either icotrokinra or placebo daily by mouth during a 12-week induction phase. At Week 12, those showing clinical response will enter a maintenance phase where they will continue icotrokinra or placebo daily for 40 weeks. Adults who do not respond will also enter the maintenance phase and receive icotrokinra. Adolescents will receive open-label icotrokinra during induction and then continue on icotrokinra during maintenance regardless of response. After completing the 40-week maintenance phase, eligible participants may join a long-term extension study. Participants will be monitored regularly through clinical assessments at specified time points including Week 12 for induction and Week 40 for maintenance. Outcomes measured include rates of clinical remission, symptom improvement, endoscopic and histologic healing, and quality of life scores. Safety will be evaluated by tracking adverse and serious adverse events throughout the study. The total study duration may extend up to approximately 6 years, ending in 2032, allowing long-term evaluation of icotrokinra in ulcerative colitis management.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of a new medicine called NNC0487-0111 in people who have Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction HFpEF or Heart Failure with mildly reduced Ejection Fraction HFmrEF and excess body weight. This phase 3 clinical trial aims to find out if NNC0487-0111 is safe and effective for treating these conditions compared to a placebo. Participants have HFpEF or HFmrEF and a body mass index of 30 or above. The study is sponsored by Novo Nordisk AS and uses a randomized, quadruple-masked design. Participants will receive either NNC0487-0111 or a matching placebo by injection under the skin once a week. The NNC0487-0111 is given in increasing doses over time. The study is parallel in design, meaning participants are randomly assigned to one of the two groups and receive that treatment throughout the trial. This treatment period extends for up to about 165 weeks. The study evaluates the time to certain heart failure events, hospitalizations, cardiovascular deaths, and other major cardiovascular events. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly to assess heart failure outcomes and kidney function, as well as quality of life using questionnaires like the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire. Safety and effectiveness are assessed through hospital visits, heart failure event tracking, and blood tests including kidney function and blood sugar levels. The total participation spans over three years, with ongoing evaluations to measure the time to heart failure events and cardiovascular outcomes. Participants receive close medical monitoring throughout the study period.

Researchers are comparing two treatment combinations for adults with advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that have a specific KRAS p.G12C mutation and are negative for PD-L1 expression. The study aims to evaluate progression-free survival and overall survival between participants receiving sotorasib with platinum doublet chemotherapy and those receiving pembrolizumab with platinum doublet chemotherapy. This phase 3, randomized, open-label trial is led by Amgen and includes participants with stage IV or advanced stage IIIBC NSCLC. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either sotorasib orally combined with carboplatin and pemetrexed, or pembrolizumab intravenously combined with the same chemotherapy drugs. These treatments are given as front-line therapy. The study includes a treatment period with these drug combinations and monitoring for outcomes such as response rates and quality of life over several years. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed through various measures including survival status, tumor response, and quality-of-life questionnaires focusing on lung cancer symptoms. Researchers will monitor safety by tracking adverse events, vital signs, and laboratory tests. Treatment concentrations of sotorasib will also be measured up to 64 days after starting. The total study duration includes follow-up for up to approximately 5.5 years to fully evaluate treatment effects and outcomes.

Researchers are studying an experimental treatment combining two drugs, pozelimab and cemdisiran, to evaluate their long-term safety and effectiveness for adults with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria PNH. This Phase 3 study aims to answer key questions about how well this combination works, potential side effects, drug levels in the blood, and whether the body develops antibodies against the drugs that could affect treatment. Participants include those who have completed treatment in a related parent study and those with a specific C5 genetic variation making them resistant to other treatments. The study involves administering the study drugs per protocol, including a loading dose of pozelimab given intravenously on Day 1 for some participants. The study is open-label and non-randomized, with two groups based on prior treatment history or genetic markers. During the study, participants will attend clinic visits to receive treatments and undergo various assessments such as blood tests to monitor hemolysis and hemoglobin levels, measure drug concentrations, and check for antibodies. Researchers will track serious and other adverse events, treatment discontinuation, and changes in quality of life. The study lasts up to around 108 weeks, with ongoing safety and effectiveness monitoring throughout this period.

Researchers are evaluating the anti-tumor activity and safety of amivantamab administered as a subcutaneous co-formulation with recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 rHuPH20 in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC with specific EGFR mutations. This study focuses on various cohorts, some receiving combination treatments, and others monitoring safety of the co-formulation alone. Participants receive amivantamab subcutaneously at doses adjusted by body weight, combined with treatments such as lazertinib orally, pemetrexed and carboplatin intravenously, or anticoagulants as appropriate. Dosing schedules vary by cohort, typically involving initial frequent doses followed by maintenance cycles every 21 or 28 days. Some participants may enter a long-term extension phase to continue receiving study treatments. During the study, participants undergo evaluations including tumor response assessments using RECIST 1.1 criteria, safety monitoring through adverse event tracking, laboratory tests, and patient-reported outcomes. Follow-up assessments occur up to several years depending on cohort. Participants eligibility includes confirmed NSCLC with specific EGFR mutations and adequate organ function, with monitoring of treatment safety and efficacy throughout their participation.

Researchers are evaluating icotrokinra for its effectiveness and safety in people with moderately to severely active Crohns disease, a condition causing severe inflammation in the intestines. This clinical trial is a Phase 2b3 study aiming to understand how well icotrokinra works compared to placebo to improve symptoms and intestinal healing. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of several treatments two different doses of icotrokinra or a matching placebo, taken orally every day during an induction period of up to 12 weeks. Based on their response at Week 12, participants may continue with maintenance dosing or placebo up to Week 40. Those completing the maintenance phase may join a long-term extension study for further evaluation. During the trial, participants will be monitored with clinical assessments, endoscopy, and patient-reported outcomes to measure response, remission, and safety. The main outcomes include clinical response and remission at Weeks 12 and 40, along with endoscopic healing. Safety will be tracked through adverse event reporting up to four weeks after the last dose. The study is expected to continue until 2032, with multiple visits for treatment and evaluations throughout.

Researchers are evaluating intismeran autogene combined with pembrolizumab compared to placebo plus pembrolizumab as an additional treatment after surgery for participants with certain stages of non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC. The study focuses on participants with margin-negative, completely resected Stage II, IIIA, or IIIB with nodal involvement NSCLC. The main question is whether the combination including intismeran autogene improves disease-free survival compared to pembrolizumab with placebo. Participants are randomly assigned to two groups. One group receives 1 mg of intismeran autogene by intramuscular injection every 3 weeks for nine doses plus 400 mg of pembrolizumab by intravenous infusion every 6 weeks for up to nine doses. The other group receives a placebo injection on the same schedule plus pembrolizumab on the same infusion schedule. Treatment continues until disease recurrence, unacceptable side effects, or approximately one year, whichever comes first. During the study, participants are monitored through regular assessments up to about 78 months for disease-free survival and up to 12 years for overall survival and other health outcomes. Quality of life questionnaires and adverse event monitoring are conducted at baseline and throughout the study. The research team tracks lung cancer-specific survival and distant metastasis-free survival, as well as changes in symptoms like coughing and chest pain. Safety is closely observed throughout treatment and follow-up periods.

This research aims to evaluate mezagitamab for adults with primary Immunoglobulin A nephropathy IgAN, a kidney disease caused by immune protein buildup leading to inflammation and potential kidney damage. The study will compare how mezagitamab affects protein levels in urine proteinuria against a placebo, focusing on safety, tolerability, and maintenance of kidney function over time. Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive mezagitamab or a placebo injection subcutaneously over approximately 22 weeks in the main group, with a 21 ratio favoring mezagitamab. An open-label group includes participants with specific proteinuria or kidney filtration levels, including those from a prior related study, all receiving mezagitamab in the same manner. After treatment, participants will be observed for about 1.5 years with regular check-ups. During the study, participants will attend multiple clinic visits for treatment and monitoring. Researchers will measure changes in proteinuria at Week 36 as the primary outcome, as well as kidney filtration rates over one and two years. Safety and long-term kidney function will be closely monitored throughout the 2-year participation period.
