Researchers are comparing INCA033989 with the best available therapy for adults who have essential thrombocythemia ET with a CALR mutation and have previously received cytoreductive treatment. The study aims to evaluate the effects of these treatments on this specific patient group. It is a Phase 3 clinical trial sponsored by Incyte Corporation to assess treatment responses and safety. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either INCA033989 administered intravenously or the best available therapy chosen by their doctor. The treatments are given according to the study protocol. The study focuses on treatment outcomes over a period of weeks, including response durability and symptom changes, with assessments at specified timepoints. During the study, participants will have regular visits to monitor their clinical and hematologic responses, symptoms, and any side effects. Researchers will collect data on mutation levels, symptom questionnaires, and fatigue assessments up to 48 weeks. Safety monitoring will continue for 60 days following the last dose. The total duration of participation may extend up to several months as outlined by the trial schedule.

This trial focuses on elderly patients aged 80 years or older, or those 75 years and older who are considered frail, with untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma DLBCL and related lymphoma subtypes. The study is a phase III, randomized, open-label, multicenter trial conducted in several countries including Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Italy, Australia, and New Zealand. It aims to compare the standard chemotherapy regimen R-miniCHOP with an experimental treatment R-pola-miniCHP, where vincristine is replaced by polatuzumab vedotin, to assess differences in outcomes for this patient population. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. One group will receive R-mini-CHOP consisting of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone over six 21-day cycles. The other group will receive R-pola-mini-CHP, which includes rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, prednisone, and polatuzumab vedotin instead of vincristine, also given over six 21-day cycles. Both treatments last approximately 18 weeks. The study includes a screening period lasting up to 4 weeks before treatment begins. During the study, participants will be followed for up to 36 months after completing treatment to monitor progression-free survival over two years. Researchers will evaluate disease progression and safety outcomes through regular assessments during and after the treatment period. Participants will provide informed consent and undergo evaluations including health status and disease measurements to ensure eligibility and monitor treatment effects throughout the trial.

Primary immune thrombocytopenia ITP is a condition where the immune system mistakenly destroys platelets, the cells responsible for blood clotting, resulting in increased bleeding and bruising. This trial evaluates whether mezagitamab given as a subcutaneous injection can effectively maintain stable platelet counts in adults with chronic ITP compared to a placebo. The study is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to assess both the efficacy and safety of mezagitamab in this population. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either mezagitamab or a matching placebo by subcutaneous injection once weekly. The treatment schedule consists of 8 weekly doses followed by an 8-week break, then another 8 weekly doses, totaling up to 6 months of treatment. Those who finish this trial or do not respond to treatment by week 16 may have the option to join a continuation study to receive open-label mezagitamab if eligible and if the site is open. During the study, participants will visit the clinic multiple times for treatment and monitoring. Researchers will measure platelet responses, symptom changes using patient questionnaires, bleeding events, and blood concentrations of mezagitamab. Safety assessments include monitoring for anti-drug antibodies and adverse events. The primary outcome is the percentage of participants with a durable platelet response up to week 24. The trial is expected to complete in March 2028.

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 studying pirtobrutinib, an oral drug, in adults with Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia ITP, a condition where the immune system reduces platelet counts. The study includes a Phase 1 dose-escalation to evaluate tolerability and side effects, followed by a Phase 2 dose-optimization to further assess efficacy and safety compared to a placebo. This research aims to find safe and effective doses for managing ITP. Participants receive pirtobrutinib orally or a placebo in a randomized, double-blind design. Phase 1 lasts about 16 weeks focusing on dose escalation, while Phase 2 lasts about 28 weeks for dose optimization. Blood tests are performed to measure drug levels and how the body clears it. During Phase 2, participants may receive different dosages of pirtobrutinib or placebo to compare effects. Throughout the study, participants undergo blood tests and clinical assessments to monitor safety, including adverse events, vital signs, lab tests, and electrocardiograms. Efficacy is measured by platelet counts and disease control over up to 24 weeks. The study also tracks how pirtobrutinib behaves in the body. Participation lasts up to 28 weeks excluding screening, with close monitoring for safety and response.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of Pumitamig compared to Pembrolizumab in adults with previously untreated advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer NSCLC who have a PD-L1 expression level of 50% or higher. This Phase 3 randomized, double-blind study focuses on patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC to better understand first-line treatment options. Participants receive either Pumitamig or Pembrolizumab as the study drug, given at specified doses on certain days. The study uses a parallel design with two treatment groups to compare these therapies as first-line options. The study is planned to continue until October 2031, with treatment and follow-up periods extending up to approximately 5 years for overall survival assessments. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor disease progression and response to treatment using criteria like RECIST v1.1. Researchers will evaluate progression-free survival, overall survival, objective response rates, duration of response, disease control rate, and symptom changes related to lung cancer over time. Safety and treatment effects will be closely monitored throughout the study duration.

This trial is for adults who have had an acute ischemic stroke caused by a blood clot blocking a brain vessel. It focuses on people whose stroke occurred or was discovered more than 4.5 hours ago, including those who woke up with stroke symptoms. The study aims to find out if the medicine tenecteplase helps recovery when given after this 4.5-hour window, compared to standard medical care. Tenecteplase is already used within 4.5 hours after stroke onset, but this study tests its effect when given later. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups one receives a single injection of tenecteplase into a vein, and the other receives the usual standard treatment. Both groups have an equal chance of receiving either treatment. The study lasts about three months, starting with approximately one week of hospital stay. During the study, participants have seven clinical examinations or visits, with the final two visits conducted remotely from home to allow for easier participation. Throughout the study, doctors regularly assess participants recovery using a scale that measures disability and dependence in daily activities. They also monitor overall health and record any side effects. The main outcome measured is the level of recovery 90 days after treatment, comparing the two groups. This includes neurological improvement, bleeding events, and survival over the study period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of stopping antibiotic treatment early in adults hospitalized with respiratory viral infections. This study focuses on patients with moderately severe disease who test positive for respiratory viruses such as influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, parainfluenza virus, or human metapneumovirus. The goal is to determine if early discontinuation of antibiotics leads to similar clinical outcomes compared to continuing antibiotic therapy, aiming to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use and combat antimicrobial resistance. Participants are randomly assigned to either stop antibiotic therapy as started by their admitting physician or to continue antibiotic therapy without changes. The study monitors early clinical response at 120 hours after randomization, defined by survival with symptom improvement and no need for rescue antibiotics. Secondary assessments include mortality rates, hospital stay duration, antibiotic use, and readmission rates, all measured during hospital admission and up to 30 days after discharge. During the trial, participants undergo nasopharyngeal swab testing to confirm viral infection and are monitored closely for symptoms, survival, and antibiotic use. Researchers evaluate clinical response at 120 hours and track outcomes such as mortality, hospital stay length, and antibiotic doses until discharge and 30 days later. The study aims to gather detailed safety and efficacy data over the hospital stay and follow-up period, supporting more targeted antibiotic use in viral respiratory infections.

Researchers are conducting a combined Phase 2b and Phase 3 clinical trial to study CSL300 Clazakizumab in adults with end stage kidney disease ESKD who are undergoing maintenance dialysis. The study aims to find the right dose of CSL300 and then evaluate its effect on cardiovascular outcomes and safety in people with systemic inflammation and either atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ASCVD or diabetes. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving multiple centers. Participants will receive intravenous IV administration of either CSL300 or a placebo. The Phase 2b part focuses on determining the appropriate dose of CSL300 compared to placebo over about 12 weeks, while the Phase 3 part examines CSL300s effect on cardiovascular events over approximately five years. The study includes different dosing groups in Phase 2b and a larger comparison of CSL300 versus placebo in Phase 3. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly with blood tests that measure inflammation markers such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein hs-CRP, cardiovascular events, and safety outcomes. Researchers will track changes in various blood components and adverse events up to 32 weeks in Phase 2b and follow cardiovascular outcomes for up to five years in Phase 3. The total participation lasts through these periods with scheduled assessments to evaluate treatment effects and safety.

Researchers are comparing Negative Pressure Wound Therapy NPWT to standard wound care in patients with diabetic foot ulcers DFUs to see which is more effective in preventing major amputations and reducing surgeries and hospital stays. Diabetic foot ulcers are common and serious complications in diabetes, often leading to amputations and high healthcare costs. This study aims to clarify whether NPWT provides better outcomes than standard care by assessing amputations, mortality, wound healing, and patient quality of life. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either NPWT or standard wound care after surgical debridement or partial amputation of the foot. NPWT involves applying suction to the wound through a sealed system with foam padding and a vacuum device, with dressings changed every 3-5 days. Standard wound care uses moist dressings that promote healing and are changed daily or every few days depending on wound condition. Both groups receive intravenous antibiotics and compression therapy as needed. The study includes 50 patients divided evenly between the two treatments. Participants will be closely followed for one year with regular outpatient visits. Researchers will monitor the number of major amputations, mortality, wound healing, complications, surgeries, hospital stay length, occupational status, and patient-reported outcomes. Adverse events will be recorded during hospital stays. The study involves questionnaires and clinical assessments at multiple time points to evaluate treatment effects and patient quality of life over the year-long follow-up.
