Young adults aged 18 to 25 who experience frequent thoughts about killing themselves are the focus of this study, which evaluates the cost-effectiveness of Attachment Based Family Therapy ABFT compared to Treatment As Usual TAU. Suicide is a leading cause of death among young adults, and current treatments have limited success. This trial aims to determine if involving family through ABFT can better reduce suicidality and improve outcomes, informing clinical guidelines and care practices in Belgium and the Netherlands. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups the experimental group receives ABFT as an add-on to TAU, which includes treatments like antidepressants, CBT, or DBT, with weekly ABFT sessions lasting about 16 weeks. The control group receives TAU alone, allowing up to four sessions of systemic family therapy. ABFT focuses on strengthening parent-child attachment bonds to provide a supportive base for young adults, involving parents or caregivers actively in therapy. Throughout the study, suicidality is measured at baseline, immediately after intervention, and at follow-ups 3, 6, and 12 months post-intervention using tools like the Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire Junior. Researchers also assess depressive symptoms, family functioning, attachment, quality of life, and healthcare costs. The trial includes 138 participants across multiple sites, with double-blind randomized allocation. Safety, adherence, and cost-effectiveness are closely monitored during and after the treatment period.

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 investigating new treatments for people with high-risk, localized non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has been completely removed by surgery. The study aims to find out if giving one or two specific treatments after surgery can help prevent the cancer from returning. This Phase 3 trial focuses on participants with Stage I NSCLC who have certain high-risk features. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three groups one group receives intismeran combined with pembrolizumab coformulated with berahyaluronidase alfa, another group receives intismeran alone, and a third group receives a placebo. Intismeran is given as an intramuscular injection, while pembrolizumab with berahyaluronidase alfa is administered subcutaneously. The trial compares disease-free survival among these groups over an extended period. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored regularly with health assessments and questionnaires to evaluate quality of life and physical functioning. Researchers will track how long participants remain free from cancer and observe any side effects or adverse events. The study may last up to several years, with ongoing safety and outcome evaluations to better understand the treatments impact.

Researchers are evaluating the combination of baxdrostat and dapagliflozin in people with chronic kidney disease CKD and high blood pressure hypertension. This Phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to assess whether this combination reduces the risk of serious kidney damage, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death compared to dapagliflozin alone. The study includes participants with CKD and hypertension who meet specific kidney function and blood pressure criteria. Participants who are not already taking SGLT2 inhibitors will first complete a 4-week dapagliflozin run-in period. Then, they will be randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat plus dapagliflozin or a placebo plus dapagliflozin. Baxdrostat dosing may start low and be increased if needed. Study visits will occur at 2, 4, 8, 16, 34, and 52 weeks after randomization, and then approximately every four months until the study ends, which is based on the number of key kidney or heart-related events. Throughout the study, participants will have regular assessments including blood tests to monitor kidney function and potassium levels, blood pressure measurements, and evaluations of heart and kidney health. If participants stop the blinded study drug early, they will continue dapagliflozin if possible and remain in the study for ongoing visits and monitoring. The main outcome is whether the combination treatment reduces the risk of a 50% sustained decline in kidney function, kidney failure, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death over up to 37 months.

This research aims to evaluate how well two new drugs, CagriSema and cagrilintide, help children and adolescents with excess body weight lose weight. The study includes participants aged 8 to under 18 years who have overweight or obesity. It is a Phase 3 trial that compares these new drugs with semaglutide, a drug already prescribed for weight management, and a placebo to understand their effects on weight loss. Participants in the main study are randomly assigned to receive one of four treatments CagriSema, cagrilintide, semaglutide, or placebo. All treatments are given once weekly as subcutaneous injections, starting with a dose escalation phase lasting up to 16 weeks, followed by a maintenance phase for 52 weeks. Those who receive semaglutide do not join the extension study. Participants in the extension study continue treatment with either CagriSema or cagrilintide for up to 156 weeks, while placebo participants follow a specific dosing regimen before continuing in the extension. During the study, participants will be monitored for changes in body mass index BMI and weight over time, with assessments at baseline, week 68, and for some measures, week 224. Researchers will also track body composition, metabolic markers, quality of life, and safety events. The entire duration for participants can be up to nearly five years if they take part in both the main and extension studies, involving regular visits and evaluations to understand the treatments effects and safety.

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 evaluating the efficacy and safety of the combination of divarasib and pembrolizumab compared with pembrolizumab combined with pemetrexed and either carboplatin or cisplatin. This study focuses on adults with previously untreated, advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has a KRAS G12C mutation. The goal is to assess these treatments as first-line options in this specific lung cancer population. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will take divarasib orally once daily and receive pembrolizumab through an intravenous infusion every three weeks. The other group will receive pembrolizumab, pemetrexed, and either carboplatin or cisplatin via intravenous infusions every three weeks. Treatment continues with these schedules, following the study protocol for up to approximately five years of follow-up. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor their health and response to treatment. These include imaging and clinical evaluations to measure progression-free survival and overall survival for up to five years. Researchers will also track quality of life, symptom changes, treatment side effects, and adverse events using questionnaires and patient-reported outcomes. Safety monitoring and detailed evaluations will help understand the effects of the treatments over the study duration.

Researchers are evaluating treatments for participants with KRASNRAS and BRAF wild-type recurrent, unresectable, or metastatic colorectal cancer who have previously received chemotherapy. The study compares how long participants remain free of disease progression and the overall survival time when treated with amivantamab plus chemotherapy versus cetuximab or bevacizumab plus chemotherapy. This Phase 3 trial focuses on patients who have already undergone prior chemotherapy for their cancer. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives amivantamab combined with the chemotherapy regimen FOLFIRI, which includes 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium or levoleucovorin, and irinotecan. The other group receives either cetuximab or bevacizumab combined with the same chemotherapy regimen FOLFIRI. Treatments are given in 28-day cycles and continue until the cancer progresses or other criteria require stopping treatment. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments to monitor disease status, including imaging scans reviewed by independent experts. Researchers measure progression-free survival and overall survival over periods up to several years. Additional outcomes include response rates, duration of response, quality of life assessments, and side effects. Safety and laboratory evaluations are conducted throughout the study, which spans up to four years and four months in total duration.

Researchers are evaluating how long adult participants with KRASNRAS and BRAF wild-type unresectable or metastatic left-sided colorectal cancer remain disease-free when treated with different combinations of drugs. The study compares amivantamab combined with chemotherapy regimens mFOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI versus cetuximab combined with the same chemotherapy regimens. This phase 3 trial aims to understand which treatment approach may better delay cancer progression. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. One group receives amivantamab along with chemotherapy cycles consisting of 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium or levoleucovorin, and oxaliplatin or irinotecan hydrochloride, repeated every 28 days. The other group receives cetuximab combined with the same chemotherapy regimens, also in 28-day cycles. Treatments continue until imaging shows disease progression or other criteria require stopping. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including radiographic imaging to monitor disease status and treatment effects. Researchers will measure progression-free survival for up to over 4 years, along with other outcomes such as overall survival, response rates, duration and time to response, and quality of life using validated questionnaires. Safety will be monitored through adverse event reporting and laboratory tests, with follow-up continuing for several years to capture long-term results.

Researchers are evaluating orforglipron to measure its effects on cardiovascular outcomes in adults aged 50 and older who have atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ASCVD andor chronic kidney disease CKD. This phase 3 study aims to compare orforglipron with a placebo to better understand its impact on major cardiovascular events over about five years. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either orforglipron orally along with standard care or a placebo orally along with standard care. The study is double-blinded, meaning neither participants nor researchers will know who receives the active drug or placebo during the trial period. During the study, participants will be followed for around five years, with researchers monitoring the time to the first major cardiovascular event and additional outcomes such as cardiovascular and kidney events, changes in kidney function measured by eGFR, and the onset of type 2 diabetes. The study includes regular assessments to track these outcomes and ensure participant safety throughout the long-term follow-up.
