Researchers are studying dulaglutide, a medication given by injection under the skin, to explore new dosing options for children and teenagers aged 10 to under 18 years with Type 2 Diabetes. This phase 3 trial focuses on evaluating the safety of dulaglutide doses 3.0 mg and 4.5 mg in pediatric participants who have Type 2 Diabetes managed with diet, exercise, and stable doses of metformin andor basal insulin. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and aims to better understand how dulaglutide works in this younger population. Participants will receive dulaglutide subcutaneously, with no placebo group as this is a single-group study. The study treatment will be administered over a period of about eight months. Throughout the study, researchers will closely monitor the number of serious side effects that might be related to the drug. Additional evaluations will include measuring dulaglutide levels in the blood over time, changes in blood sugar control Hemoglobin A1c, body weight, cholesterol levels, quality of life assessments, and beta cell function. During the study, participants will attend visits where blood samples and other health assessments will be performed at specific times including baseline, week 26, and week 30. Researchers will use these assessments to track the medications impact and monitor for safety. Participation involves regular monitoring over approximately eight months, allowing researchers to collect important data on how dulaglutide affects young people living with Type 2 Diabetes.

Researchers are studying maridebart cafraglutide to evaluate its effect on reducing cardiovascular problems and death in people with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease who are also overweight or obese. This Phase 3 trial compares maridebart cafraglutide to a placebo, both given alongside standard care, to see if maridebart cafraglutide works better in lowering heart-related risks. Participants will receive either maridebart cafraglutide or a placebo, both administered by subcutaneous injection. The study lasts for up to approximately 35 months, during which researchers monitor several heart and health outcomes. These include heart attacks, strokes, death rates, hospitalizations, blood pressure, body measurements, blood sugar control, cholesterol levels, kidney function, and inflammatory markers. During the trial, participants will have regular assessments including physical exams, blood tests, and monitoring of heart events. Researchers track the time to first major heart-related events and changes in health markers over the study period. Safety is also monitored by recording any adverse events. The total participation time can last nearly three years, allowing careful observation of the effects of the study drug compared to placebo.

Researchers are evaluating iptacopan LNP023 alongside standard care to study its effectiveness, safety, and tolerability in adults with active lupus nephritis Class III-IV, with or without Class V. This phase 2 trial is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, aiming to explore dosing and treatment outcomes in this patient group. Participants receive either iptacopan combined with standard care, placebo matching iptacopan with standard care, or iptacopan with placebo as part of the standard care. Each treatment is taken for 52 weeks. The study proceeds in two parts, with different combination regimens of iptacopan, placebo, and standard care, including oral corticosteroids or their absence. During the study, participants undergo assessments at baseline and weeks 24 and 52 to measure kidney response, protein levels in urine, fatigue, and lupus disease activity using specific scoring tools. Researchers monitor the proportion of patients achieving complete renal response without flares and other kidney and health outcomes. Safety and tolerability are also evaluated over the course of treatment and follow-up.
