Researchers are studying treatments for locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer mCRC that cannot be removed by surgery and has a specific KRAS G12C gene mutation. This trial aims to evaluate if adding the targeted therapies calderasib and cetuximab to the standard chemotherapy regimen mFOLFOX6 can provide better outcomes compared to mFOLFOX6 with or without bevacizumab. The study focuses on the safety and tolerability of these combinations and whether they can help people live longer without their cancer growing or spreading. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive calderasib orally, cetuximab every two weeks, and mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy including oxaliplatin, leucovorin or levofolinate calcium, and 5-fluorouracil every two weeks. The other group will receive mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab every two weeks, based on the investigators decision. Treatments will continue until certain stopping criteria are met. During the study, participants will be monitored for side effects and treatment tolerance, with regular assessments of cancer progression. Researchers will measure outcomes such as dose-limiting toxicities, adverse events, progression-free survival, and overall survival. Quality of life will also be evaluated through questionnaires. The study may last up to several years, with monitoring continuing for safety and effectiveness throughout the treatment period and follow-up.

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.

Researchers are evaluating whether sacituzumab tirumotecan alone or combined with pembrolizumab can treat people with triple-negative breast cancer TNBC that is locally recurrent, unresectable, or metastatic. The study aims to determine if these treatments help participants live longer overall or without their cancer growing or spreading compared to chemotherapy chosen by their physician. This is a phase 3, randomized, open-label trial focusing on patients whose tumors express PD-L1 at less than 10 combined positive score CPS. Participants are assigned to one of three groups. One group receives sacituzumab tirumotecan intravenously every two weeks until disease progression, toxicity, or stopping treatment. Another group gets the same sacituzumab tirumotecan schedule plus pembrolizumab intravenously every six weeks for up to about two years. The third group receives the physicians choice of chemotherapy, which may include paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, or gemcitabine plus carboplatin, given intravenously on various schedules until disease progression, toxicity, or discontinuation. Pre-medications are given before sacituzumab tirumotecan to help manage side effects. Participants will be monitored for how long they live without their cancer worsening and overall survival, with follow-up lasting up to around 61 months. Researchers will assess treatment response, quality of life using questionnaires, and physical and emotional functioning. Safety will be closely tracked by recording adverse events and treatment discontinuations. The total participation time depends on treatment duration and follow-up assessments.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of tozorakimab delivered under the skin in adults with uncontrolled asthma who are already using medium-to-high doses of inhaled corticosteroids. This phase IIb, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to find the optimal dosing range of tozorakimab in this population. The study is sponsored by AstraZeneca and uses a randomized, parallel design to compare different doses and placebo. Participants will receive subcutaneous injections of either tozorakimab at one of two dose levels or a placebo. The study arms include dosing with tozorakimab Dose 1, tozorakimab Dose 2, or placebo, administered under the skin. The treatment period lasts from 26 to 52 weeks, during which participants will be monitored for their asthma symptoms and lung function. Throughout the study, participants will undergo assessments including lung function tests such as forced expiratory volume in 1 second FEV1, asthma control questionnaires ACQ-6, quality of life questionnaires AQLQ12, and measurements of asthma exacerbations. Blood samples will be collected to measure drug levels and immune response. Safety and adherence will be closely monitored, and the primary outcome is the annualized rate of severe asthma exacerbations over the treatment period.

Researchers are evaluating the real-world effectiveness and safety of Nebilet4 nebivolol in adults with hypertension across seven Asian countries. This multinational, multicenter, observational, and prospective study aims to assess blood pressure changes, treatment adherence, quality of life, prescription patterns, and cardiovascular outcomes over up to three years. The study also compares Nebilet4 used alone versus in combination therapy and investigates the relationship between home and office blood pressure measurements. Participants include about 5,000 adults newly diagnosed with or having uncontrolled hypertension who have recently started Nebilet4 or been on it no more than two weeks. Patients are followed regularly for 12, 24, and 36 months, with blood pressure measured at each visit and home readings encouraged. The study collects data on medication dosing and frequency, adherence, and cardiovascular risk factors, while monitoring major adverse cardiac events such as heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death. During the study, participants complete questionnaires to assess quality of life and medication adherence every few months. Data are recorded through an electronic system ensuring consistency across sites. Researchers evaluate changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure and the proportion achieving target blood pressure goals. Safety and any adverse events are documented, with follow-up visits extending up to three years to provide insights into the long-term management of hypertension with Nebilet4.
