This research aims to evaluate the effects of litifilimab (BIIB059), a monoclonal antibody, in adults with active subacute or chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE), with or without systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Participants have active skin symptoms of CLE that have not improved with antimalarial therapy or had difficulties continuing that treatment. The study focuses on reducing skin disease activity using several scores including CLA-IGA-R and CLASI, while also assessing safety, immune response, and quality of life. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either litifilimab or a placebo injection under the skin every four weeks during a 24-week double-blind period where neither participants nor researchers know which treatment is given. After this, all participants will receive litifilimab injections every four weeks for an additional 28 weeks. Those who complete the treatment may join a long-term extension study or enter a follow-up safety period lasting up to 24 weeks. Total participation may last up to 80 weeks. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor skin disease activity using the CLA-IGA-R erythema score and the CLASI-A activity score to see how many participants improve. They will also assess safety, tolerability, immune system effects, and participants' quality of life using questionnaires. These evaluations occur regularly during both treatment periods and follow-up to understand the impact of litifilimab on CLE symptoms and overall health.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of combining durvalumab and domvanalimab compared to durvalumab plus placebo in adults with locally advanced (Stage III), unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease has not worsened after definitive platinum-based concurrent chemoradiation therapy. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, international study involves multiple centers. Participants receive intravenous infusions of durvalumab and domvanalimab or durvalumab and placebo. The treatments are given after patients have completed concurrent platinum-based chemotherapy and radiation therapy with a total radiation dose of approximately 60 Gy. The study monitors patients over time to assess treatment effects and safety. During the study, participants undergo evaluations including tumor tissue analysis for PD-L1 status, performance status assessments, and monitoring of organ and marrow function. The main outcome measured is progression-free survival up to 8 years after randomization. Researchers also monitor for any adverse effects and disease progression throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating AZD0780, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor, in a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study to see if it can reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE-PLUS) in adults with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or those at high risk for a first ASCVD event. The study compares AZD0780 to a placebo and monitors participants from randomization until the primary analysis censoring date, followed by a final study closure visit. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either oral AZD0780 or an oral placebo once daily. The treatment period lasts until the primary analysis censoring date, after which a study closure visit will occur. The study is event-driven and designed to assess the time to the first major cardiovascular event during treatment. During the study, participants will be closely monitored with various assessments to evaluate cardiovascular outcomes and safety over approximately 54 months. Researchers will track the time to first event of any component of MACE-PLUS and collect data to assess the effect of AZD0780 compared to placebo. The study includes regular visits and evaluations to ensure participant safety and adherence to treatment.

Researchers are evaluating ziltivekimab as a treatment for people living with heart failure and inflammation. This Phase 3 study compares ziltivekimab to a placebo in participants with heart failure who have mild to preserved ejection fraction and systemic inflammation. The study aims to assess the effect of ziltivekimab on cardiovascular death, heart failure hospitalization, or urgent heart failure visits over a period of up to 4 years. Participants will receive monthly injections of either ziltivekimab or a placebo using a pre-filled syringe or a pen-injector. The study medication is administered subcutaneously once a month for up to 4 years. The trial includes up to 20 clinic visits during which participants will be monitored and assessed. During the study, participants will use a study app on their phone to record all injections and complete questionnaires. Researchers will monitor participants for key outcomes like cardiovascular events and heart failure episodes from the time of randomization until the end of the study. Safety and health status will be regularly evaluated throughout the study period, which may last up to 48 months.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of camizestrant compared to standard endocrine therapy in patients with early breast cancer that is estrogen receptor positive (ER+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-). These patients have an intermediate or high risk of cancer recurrence and have already completed local treatments such as surgery and possibly chemotherapy, alongside at least 2 years and up to 5 years of standard adjuvant endocrine therapy. The study is a Phase III, open-label trial designed to assess outcomes over a long term. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either camizestrant, an oral selective estrogen receptor degrader, or one of several standard endocrine therapies including tamoxifen, anastrozole, letrozole, or exemestane, administered according to local approved guidelines. The treatment duration for both groups is planned to last 60 months. Eligible patients may have previously used CDK4/6 inhibitors, and the study will specifically include those with intermediate or high risk of recurrence as determined by clinical and biological markers. During the study, participants will be monitored for up to 10 years from the last patient's randomization to evaluate invasive breast cancer-free survival. Additional outcomes include invasive disease-free survival, distant relapse-free survival, overall survival, safety, and clinical outcome assessments. The study involves ongoing assessments of health status, treatment effects, and safety to determine the long-term benefits and risks of camizestrant compared to standard therapies.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of lebrikizumab in people aged 12 years and older who have chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and are being treated with intranasal corticosteroids. This Phase 3 study is designed to better understand how lebrikizumab works alongside standard nasal spray treatments over a period of about 18 months. Participants will receive either lebrikizumab or a placebo by subcutaneous injection, while continuing their regular intranasal corticosteroid spray treatment. The study is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives the active drug or placebo. The study measures changes from baseline in nasal congestion severity and nasal polyp size using participant reports and endoscopic scoring at the start and after 24 weeks. During the study, participants will undergo evaluations including nasal examinations and symptom assessments at specified times. Researchers will monitor nasal polyp scores and nasal congestion severity to assess treatment impact. Safety and side effects will also be closely observed throughout the study. The total duration of participation is approximately 18 months, allowing careful tracking of treatment outcomes and safety over time.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of nipocalimab compared to placebo in adults with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG), a condition causing muscle weakness. This phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind study also includes a subcutaneous substudy to assess how nipocalimab works in the body when given as an injection under the skin compared to intravenous infusion. Participants will receive nipocalimab or a matching placebo through intravenous infusion. In the subcutaneous substudy, nipocalimab will be administered under the skin. The study includes groups receiving different forms of the drug, with dosing schedules detailed in the protocol. The subcutaneous substudy requires participants to maintain stable doses of corticosteroids and/or immunosuppressants for the first 8 weeks. During the study, participants will undergo assessments including the Myasthenia Gravis - Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) score measured at baseline and weeks 22 to 24. Blood samples will be collected to measure antibody levels and total IgG from before the first dose up to week 8 in the sub-study. Safety and efficacy will be closely monitored throughout the trial period.

Researchers are investigating whether sacituzumab tirumotecan alone or combined with pembrolizumab can treat triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). This phase 3 study compares these treatments to chemotherapy chosen by the physician, aiming to see if participants live longer or have longer periods without cancer growth or spread. The study focuses on people with previously untreated locally recurrent unresectable or metastatic TNBC with low PD-L1 expression. Participants receive sacituzumab tirumotecan through intravenous infusion alone or with pembrolizumab, also given intravenously. The study compares these to treatment options including paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, or gemcitabine plus carboplatin. Pre-medications like antihistamines, acetaminophen, and steroids are given before sacituzumab tirumotecan infusions to help reduce side effects. The trial evaluates safety and effectiveness over several months. Throughout the study, researchers monitor participants up to about 39 months for progression-free survival and up to about 61 months for overall survival. Participants undergo regular assessments to track cancer status and side effects. The study includes careful safety monitoring, and participants must meet specific health criteria to join. The total time in the study and follow-up depends on each participant's response and health status.

Researchers are studying the effects of DMX-200 (repagermanium), a drug that blocks a receptor involved in inflammation, in people with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) who are also taking an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). This Phase 3 trial aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of DMX-200 compared to placebo over 104 weeks in adults and adolescents aged 12 to 17 years. Following the initial study, an open-label extension will evaluate long-term safety and benefits for up to two more years. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either DMX-200 at 120 mg twice daily or a placebo, while continuing their ARB treatment. The study includes a screening and qualification period lasting 6 to 14 weeks, a 104-week double-blind treatment phase, and a 4-week follow-up after treatment. Those completing this phase may enter the open-label extension for an additional minimum of 104 weeks, with another 4-week follow-up period, making the total study duration about 230 weeks. During the trial, participants will undergo regular assessments including urine protein and creatinine testing, kidney function monitoring by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and safety evaluations. The main outcomes measured are changes in proteinuria, kidney function slope up to week 104, and long-term safety through week 216. Safety will be closely monitored throughout both the double-blind and extension periods to understand the drug's effects over time.

Researchers are evaluating how tirzepatide affects body weight and cardiovascular risk factors in adolescents with obesity who also have multiple weight-related health issues. This Phase 3 study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of tirzepatide combined with healthy nutrition and physical activity. The study includes adolescents aged 12 to 17 years with obesity defined by a high body mass index (BMI) and at least two weight-related comorbidities such as hypertension, prediabetes, or high triglycerides. Participants will receive either tirzepatide or a placebo, both administered by subcutaneous injection once weekly during the primary 72-week study period. Alongside medication, all participants will follow lifestyle interventions focusing on nutrition and physical activity. After completing the initial 72 weeks and a 4-week safety follow-up, eligible participants who have not been off treatment for more than 12 weeks can continue tirzepatide treatment for an additional 156 weeks with ongoing lifestyle support. Throughout the study, up to 23 visits will monitor participants' BMI changes and improvements in weight-related health conditions. Researchers will measure the percentage change in BMI and assess whether participants show significant improvement or normalization in at least two comorbidities without new or worsening conditions over 72 weeks. Safety and efficacy will be closely tracked during the treatment periods and follow-up visits to understand tirzepatide's impact on adolescent obesity and related health risks.
