Researchers are studying metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer mCRPC to find new treatment options. This trial evaluates if the study medicine ifinatamab deruxtecan I-DXd or MK-2400 helps people live longer overall and experience slower cancer growth or spread compared to chemotherapy. The study is a Phase 3 trial comparing I-DXd with standard chemotherapy for mCRPC patients. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either I-DXd at 12 mgkg every 3 weeks through intravenous infusion or docetaxel chemotherapy at 75 mgm2 every 3 weeks combined with daily prednisone pills. Treatment continues until the disease progresses, unacceptable side effects occur, or treatment is stopped for other reasons. Premedication is given before each dose of I-DXd to help prevent nausea and vomiting. During the study, participants will have regular visits for treatment and monitoring. Researchers will assess overall survival and radiographic progression-free survival for up to about 36 months. Additional measures include response rates, time to pain progression, PSA progression, and adverse events. The study tracks safety, treatment effects, and quality of life over a long follow-up period to better understand the potential benefits and risks of I-DXd compared to chemotherapy.

Researchers are evaluating AZD8965 in a Phase IIb trial to study its safety, tolerability, and effectiveness in treating Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis IPF. The study compares three doses of AZD8965 to a placebo in participants with IPF, including those who are on stable doses of approved antifibrotic therapies such as nintedanib, pirfenidone, or nerandomilast, as well as those not taking antifibrotic treatment. The trial is randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, and parallel-group in design. Participants are assigned to one of four groups placebo, low dose AZD8965, medium dose AZD8965, or high dose AZD8965. The treatment lasts for 24 weeks, during which participants receive their assigned medication. The study includes approximately 360 participants across around 200 sites worldwide. Researchers aim to assess the clinical efficacy of AZD8965 by measuring changes in lung function and study the relationship between dose and outcomes. During the study, participants will undergo various assessments including lung function tests such as forced vital capacity FVC, monitoring for adverse events, and pharmacokinetic analyses of AZD8965. Safety and tolerability are monitored up to 25 weeks. Researchers will also track any serious adverse events and treatment discontinuations. The total participation time covers the 24-week treatment period with scheduled visits to assess the study outcomes and participant health.

Researchers are evaluating the combination of adagrasib, pembrolizumab, and platinum-doublet chemotherapy compared to placebo plus pembrolizumab and platinum-doublet chemotherapy in adults with previously untreated, locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC carrying the KRAS G12C mutation. This Phase 3 trial aims to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of these treatment combinations in this specific patient group. Participants will receive either adagrasib plus pembrolizumab combined with platinum-doublet chemotherapy or placebo plus pembrolizumab and platinum-doublet chemotherapy. Treatments involve specified doses administered on scheduled days, with the chemotherapy consisting of carboplatin or cisplatin along with pemetrexed. Participants are randomly assigned to one of the two study groups and treatments are blinded to ensure unbiased assessment. Throughout the study, participants will undergo regular evaluations including imaging scans to measure tumor response and progression-free survival, as well as assessments of overall survival. Safety is closely monitored by recording adverse events for up to 90 days after the last dose. Quality of life and symptom assessments are also conducted using validated questionnaires. The study duration includes follow-up for up to seven years to gather comprehensive data on treatment outcomes and participant health.

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.

Researchers are evaluating whether adding zilovertamab vedotin to a standard treatment regimen can help people with previously untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma DLBCL live longer without the cancer growing or spreading. This phase 3 randomized study compares the combination of zilovertamab vedotin with rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone R-CHP against the standard regimen of rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone R-CHOP. The trial is sponsored by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC and aims to improve treatment outcomes for people with this type of lymphoma. Participants receive treatment in cycles lasting 21 days, for up to 6 cycles approximately 4 months. One group receives zilovertamab vedotin plus rituximab or a rituximab biosimilar, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone or prednisolone or methylprednisolone, while the comparison group receives rituximab or biosimilar, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone or prednisolone or methylprednisolone. Both groups may receive 2 additional cycles of rituximab or biosimilar if they have high-risk DLBCL. All infusions are given intravenously on Day 1 of each cycle, with prednisone or similar drugs taken orally on Days 1-5 of each cycle. Throughout the study, participants are closely monitored for progression-free survival up to about 50 months, as well as other outcomes such as overall survival, response to treatment, adverse events, and quality of life changes. Assessments include clinical evaluations during treatment and follow-up periods, with safety monitoring continuing for up to 9 months. This comprehensive follow-up helps researchers understand the effects and tolerability of the treatments over time.

Researchers are evaluating ibuzatrelvir, an oral medication, to determine its effectiveness and safety in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older with COVID-19 who are not hospitalized but are at high risk for severe illness. The study is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind trial comparing ibuzatrelvir with a placebo. Participants must have confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection with symptoms starting within 5 days and meet specific risk factor criteria based on age. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive either ibuzatrelvir or a matching placebo twice daily by mouth for 5 days. The study allows co-administration of standard care treatments available locally. The total study duration is about 6 months, including follow-up. Participants will be monitored for emergency department visits related to COVID-19, hospitalizations, and mortality up to 28 days after starting treatment. Additional evaluations include symptom resolution, occurrence of long COVID symptoms, viral RNA levels, and safety measures such as adverse events through 24 weeks. The study involves regular assessments, including clinical visits and laboratory tests, to track outcomes and safety over time.

Researchers are studying bronchiectasis in adults and adolescents aged 12 to under 18 who produce sputum and have experienced flare-ups. The trial aims to evaluate whether the medicine BI 1291583 can help reduce these flare-ups compared to a placebo. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either BI 1291583 or a placebo in a phase III, double-blind study. Participants take one tablet of either BI 1291583 or placebo once daily for up to 1 year and 6 months. The study includes two groups one receiving the active medication and the other receiving placebo tablets that look identical but contain no medicine. The study period lasts up to 1 year and 8 months, during which participants attend up to 10 site visits and receive about 13 phone calls. During the study, participants regularly record their bronchiectasis symptoms in a smartphone diary. Study doctors monitor participants health, note any flare-ups, and check for unwanted effects. Researchers compare the number of flare-ups between the two groups as the primary measure. Secondary measures include time to first flare-up, quality of life changes, lung function changes, and rates of severe flare-ups.
