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 conducting a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of KarXT in men and women aged 55 to 90 years who have mild to severe Alzheimer's Disease with moderate to severe psychosis related to the condition. The main goal is to compare KarXT against a placebo by measuring changes in hallucinations and delusions using the Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Clinician (NPI-C) score. Participants will receive different doses of KarXT ranging from 20/2 mg to 66.7/6.67 mg daily or placebo capsules. The study is designed to compare the effects of KarXT with placebo in a parallel group format, maintaining the double-blind setup to ensure unbiased results. During the study, participants will be assessed at the start and end of treatment (up to 14 weeks) to evaluate changes in psychotic symptoms. They will undergo clinical scales such as the NPI-C and the Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) scale. The study also requires imaging scans like MRI or CT to rule out other brain diseases. A study partner who has regular contact with the participant will be involved to support adherence and observation. Safety and efficacy will be monitored throughout the treatment period.

The trial investigates the long-term safety and tolerability of KarXT in people with psychosis associated with Alzheimer's Disease. This Phase 3 global, multicenter, open-label extension study lasts 52 weeks and enrolls participants who have completed earlier related studies (CN012-0026, CN012-0027, or CN012-0056). The purpose is to monitor how well patients tolerate KarXT over an extended period and to collect safety data. Participants receive KarXT in varying doses taken three times daily, ranging from 20/2 mg up to 66.7/6.67 mg per dose, corresponding to total daily doses between 60/6 mg and 200/20 mg. This treatment is provided throughout the 52-week open-label extension. The study includes only those who completed the previous related studies and continues to assess their response to KarXT over this longer timeframe. During the study, participants are closely monitored for treatment-emergent adverse events from the first dose through 14 days after the final dose, which may be up to 54 weeks. Regular assessments ensure safety and tolerability, and caregivers are involved to support participants. The study also evaluates participants' ability to continue living in their current setting and requires consent from the participant or their legal representative. Overall, the study tracks long-term safety outcomes in this specific patient group.

Researchers are studying the effects of Adagrasib alone and combined with pembrolizumab in adults with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have the KRAS G12C mutation. The Phase 2 part evaluates these treatments in patients who are candidates for first-line therapy, with different groups based on their PD-L1 tumor proportion scores (TPS). The Phase 3 part compares the combination of Adagrasib and pembrolizumab against pembrolizumab alone in patients with NSCLC having PD-L1 TPS of 50% or higher. In Phase 2, there are three patient groups: two with PD-L1 TPS less than 1% randomized to receive either Adagrasib monotherapy or Adagrasib plus pembrolizumab, and one group with PD-L1 TPS of 1% or higher treated with the combination. Adagrasib is given orally at doses of 400 mg twice daily or 600 mg twice daily depending on the group, while pembrolizumab is administered intravenously at 200 mg every three weeks. Phase 3 patients are randomized to receive either Adagrasib 400 mg twice daily plus pembrolizumab 200 mg every three weeks or pembrolizumab alone. Participants will undergo various assessments including brain imaging, tumor measurements, and evaluations of safety and treatment effects over 22 months in Phase 2 and 36 months in Phase 3. Researchers will monitor efficacy, safety, and drug levels, as well as patient-reported outcomes and genetic biomarkers. The study includes patients with untreated or previously treated brain metastases under specific conditions and excludes those with prior systemic treatments for advanced NSCLC or certain brain lesion characteristics.
