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.

Researchers are evaluating an experimental drug called odronextamab combined with chemotherapy in adults with Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma DLBCL, including those who have not been treated before as well as those with relapsed or refractory disease. The study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, and dosing schedule of odronextamab with chemotherapy, and to compare its effectiveness against the current standard treatment of rituximab combined with chemotherapy. Additional goals include understanding side effects, drug levels in the blood, immune responses to the drug, and impact on quality of life and daily activities. The study consists of three parts Part 1A involves dose escalation to find a safe dose, Part 1B explores two dosing regimens of odronextamab combined with chemotherapy, and Part 2 randomly assigns participants to receive either odronextamab plus chemotherapy Odro-CHOP or rituximab plus chemotherapy R-CHOP. Odronextamab and rituximab are given by intravenous infusion, with chemotherapy drugs including cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone or prednisolone administered as part of the treatment regimen. Participants will be closely monitored throughout the study for side effects, disease progression, and response to treatment. Assessments include measuring dose limiting toxicities, treatment-emergent adverse events, progression free survival, quality of life questionnaires, and blood tests for drug levels and antibodies. The study follows participants for up to 5 years to track long-term outcomes and safety, with regular visits and evaluations scheduled during and after treatment.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of a medicine called BI 764198 in adults and adolescents who have a kidney condition known as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis FSGS. This Phase 3 clinical trial aims to determine whether BI 764198 helps improve kidney function in people with primary FSGS or genetic FSGS linked to TRPC6 gene variants. The study is randomized and placebo-controlled, meaning participants are randomly assigned to receive either the medicine or a placebo, and neither the participants nor the researchers know which treatment each person receives. Participants take either BI 764198 tablets or placebo tablets once a day for up to two years, while continuing their usual medication for FSGS. The study involves two groups running in parallel. The main treatment period lasts 104 weeks about two years, during which the participants regularly visit the study site approximately every three months. Both groups are compared to see if BI 764198 affects kidney protein levels and function. During the study, participants provide urine samples regularly to assess their kidney health. Researchers measure changes in urine protein-creatinine ratio and kidney filtration rate from the start to the end of the treatment period. Questionnaires about health-related quality of life are also completed. Doctors monitor participants health and note any side effects throughout the two years. This thorough follow-up helps understand how BI 764198 impacts kidney disease and overall well-being.

Researchers are studying children and young adults aged 1 to 18 years with chronic kidney disease CKD and proteinuria, a condition where the kidneys leak protein into the urine. This study aims to evaluate the long-term safety of finerenone when added to standard treatments called ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers ARBs, which are commonly used to control blood pressure and protect kidney function. The research also seeks to understand how well finerenone can reduce protein levels in urine and support kidney health over time. Participants will receive finerenone in doses adjusted by age and body weight, taken orally for up to 18 months alongside their usual ACEI or ARB treatment. The study includes patients who previously took part in a related trial and will follow them for about 19 months, including a one-month follow-up after treatment ends. The research involves one group receiving finerenone openly without placebo or comparison groups. During the study, participants will attend at least 8 to 12 visits depending on their treatment start status. At these visits, doctors will measure vital signs like blood pressure, heart rate, weight, and height perform physical exams collect blood and urine samples to monitor kidney function and protein levels and conduct heart tests using electrocardiograms and echocardiography. Participants and their caregivers will also answer questions about medication use, side effects, and overall well-being. Safety will be closely monitored by tracking any medical problems that arise during the trial.

Researchers are evaluating treatments for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that have specific genetic changes called HER2 mutations. This lung cancer has spread or cannot be controlled with current treatments. The study aims to compare how well a drug called sevabertinib works and how safe it is compared to standard treatment for this type of cancer. Participants will receive either sevabertinib tablets twice daily or standard treatment consisting of pembrolizumab combined with platinum-based chemotherapy given every 21 days by infusion. Those on standard treatment who experience disease progression may switch to sevabertinib. Treatment continues as long as participants benefit and do not have severe side effects or until they or their doctor decide to stop. During the study, participants will have imaging scans like CT, PET, MRI, and X-rays to monitor cancer spread. Doctors will also perform health checks including blood and urine tests, heart monitoring with ECG, pregnancy tests for women, and ask about symptoms or side effects. The main measure is progression-free survival assessed up to about 2 years, with additional outcomes related to survival, response rates, side effects, and quality of life followed up to 4 years.

Researchers are investigating a new treatment approach for children with chronic kidney disease CKD and proteinuria, conditions that affect kidney function and cause protein leakage into the urine. The study focuses on whether adding a drug called finerenone to existing treatments with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors ACEI or angiotensin receptor blockers ARB can better control kidney problems related to overactivity of a system that regulates blood pressure and fluid balance. This Phase 3 study aims to see if finerenone can reduce protein levels in the urine more effectively than a placebo. Participants in this trial will receive either finerenone or a placebo alongside their usual ACEI or ARB medication. The study treatment lasts about 180 days, with doses adjusted for age and body weight. Before starting treatment, children must pass screening visits to confirm eligibility. During treatment, participants will attend at least seven visits where various health checks, blood and urine tests, heart exams, and questionnaires about medication experience and side effects will be performed. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor kidney function, electrolyte levels, and how the body processes finerenone. They will also track any medical problems participants experience. After completing treatment, participants will have a follow-up visit about 30 days later to assess their health. The main measure of success is the change in the urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio from before treatment to about six months later, helping to understand the treatments impact on proteinuria.

Researchers are evaluating an experimental drug called odronextamab combined with lenalidomide in adults who have relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma FL or marginal zone lymphoma MZL, which are subtypes of Non-Hodgkins lymphoma. The study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, and proper dosing of this new combination and compare its effectiveness to the current standard treatment of rituximab combined with lenalidomide. The research also explores side effects, drug levels in the blood, immune responses to the drug, and impacts on quality of life and daily functioning. The study has two parts Part 1 is a safety phase where all participants receive odronextamab plus lenalidomide to determine the appropriate dose. Part 2 is randomized and compares two groupsone receiving odronextamab with lenalidomide, and the other receiving rituximab with lenalidomide followed by lenalidomide alone. Participants receive these treatments according to the study protocol during these phases. Throughout the study, participants will undergo various assessments including safety monitoring for side effects, measurement of drug concentrations and immune responses, imaging scans to evaluate disease status, and quality-of-life questionnaires. The primary outcomes include tracking dose-limiting toxicities up to 35 days and treatment-emergent adverse events up to 2 years. Longer-term outcomes such as progression-free survival and overall survival will be followed for up to 5 years, with ongoing evaluations to understand the treatments impact over time.

Researchers are investigating advanced small cell lung cancer SCLC in adults to determine if adding a medicine called obrixtamig to the standard treatment of atezolizumab, carboplatin, and etoposide improves survival compared to the standard treatment alone. Obrixtamig is a molecule designed to help the immune system fight cancer. The study also tests a new medical device that measures levels of the tumour marker DLL3. This is a phase III clinical trial sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim, using a randomized design to compare treatments. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives obrixtamig together with the standard treatment, while the other group receives only the standard treatment. All treatments are given through infusions into a vein. Participants receiving obrixtamig will stay overnight at the study site after their first two treatments. The study lasts up to three years, during which tumour size and health status are regularly checked. Throughout the study, participants visit the study site regularly for assessments. Doctors monitor tumour response and check for any side effects or unwanted reactions. The main outcome is overall survival measured up to 36 months. Additional outcomes include progression-free survival, symptom changes, response rates, and monitoring of treatment-related side effects. The study team closely tracks participant health and evaluates quality of life using questionnaires during the first year.

Researchers are evaluating the feasibility and preliminary effects of the iSupport-Malaysia program, an online psychoeducational intervention designed for informal caregivers of people living with dementia PLWD in Malaysia. This pilot randomized controlled trial aims to compare the web-based iSupport-Malaysia program with a culturally adapted eBook version. The study focuses on reducing caregiver burden and improving psychological well-being, such as depression, anxiety, stress, and quality of life, among caregivers. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the iSupport-Malaysia web-based intervention or the eBook group. The web intervention includes 23 lessons delivered through videos, quizzes, and reflection exercises on a learning platform, while the eBook group receives a PDF manual with similar content in text and quiz formats. Both groups are expected to complete at least 10 lessons over three months. After the intervention, participants in both groups will have access to both formats, and web group participants may join virtual interviews to share their experiences. Caregivers will complete online assessments at the start, one month, and three months after beginning the program, covering measures of psychological distress and quality of life. The study also tracks feasibility outcomes such as recruitment, retention, randomization, and program engagement. Reminder messages will encourage regular use. The total participation lasts three months, with data collected securely online and interviews conducted via videoconference for feedback.

Researchers are studying the effectiveness of neladalkib NVL-655 compared to alectinib in patients with advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer NSCLC that tests positive for Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase ALK and who have not received prior treatment. This Phase 3 trial aims to determine if neladalkib can better prolong the time patients live without disease progression. The study involves patients with advanced or metastatic ALK-positive NSCLC and is sponsored by Nuvalent Inc. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups one group will take neladalkib 150 mg orally once daily, and the other will take alectinib 600 mg orally twice daily. Both treatments are given as oral pills, and the study compares these two drugs directly. Patients will be followed for up to 5 years after starting treatment to assess outcomes. During the trial, patients will undergo regular assessments including tumor measurements based on RECIST 1.1 criteria, brain imaging to monitor intracranial progression, and laboratory tests. Researchers will monitor progression-free survival, overall survival, response rates, duration of response, adverse events, and patient-reported quality of life and lung cancer symptoms. The study will last until December 2029, with close follow-up to evaluate long-term effects and safety.
