Researchers are investigating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of combining baxdrostat with dapagliflozin compared to dapagliflozin alone in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and high blood pressure. This Phase III, international, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to see if this combination reduces risks such as significant kidney function decline, kidney failure, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death. The study includes a 4-week run-in period where participants not previously treated with SGLT2 inhibitors receive dapagliflozin alone. After this, participants are randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat plus dapagliflozin or placebo plus dapagliflozin in a double-blinded manner. Study visits occur frequently initially (at 2, 4, 8, 16, 34, and 52 weeks after randomization) and then approximately every 4 months. If participants stop the blinded treatment early, they continue dapagliflozin alone unless specific criteria require its discontinuation. Participants will undergo regular assessments including blood pressure monitoring and laboratory tests related to kidney function and cardiovascular health. The primary outcome measures the reduction in risk of major kidney and heart events over up to 37 months. Even if participants stop the study treatment, they will continue follow-up visits and data collection to ensure comprehensive safety and efficacy evaluation throughout the study duration.

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.

This research aims to compare intismeran autogene combined with pembrolizumab versus placebo with pembrolizumab as an additional treatment after surgery for people with stage II, IIIA, or IIIB (with nodal involvement) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has been fully removed with clear margins. The study is a phase 3 trial investigating whether the combination including intismeran autogene improves disease-free survival compared to the placebo combination. Participants will receive either intismeran autogene by intramuscular injection plus pembrolizumab by intravenous infusion or a placebo injection plus pembrolizumab. The treatments are given after surgery and standard platinum-based chemotherapy. No more than 24 weeks can pass from surgery to the first pembrolizumab dose. The study evaluates these treatments as adjuvant therapy to reduce cancer recurrence. During the trial, researchers will monitor participants for disease-free survival for up to approximately 78 months. Participants undergo regular assessments including medical evaluations to track cancer status and treatment effects. The study excludes those with prior neoadjuvant therapy, certain infections, or other cancer treatments that might interfere. Safety and long-term outcomes are carefully observed throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating sacituzumab tirumotecan alone and combined with pembrolizumab compared to the treatment chosen by a physician for people with hormone receptor positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HR+/HER2-) breast cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread to other parts of the body. This study focuses on participants whose cancer has progressed despite prior endocrine therapy, including treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor. The main goal is to see if these treatments improve progression-free survival, which means the length of time the cancer does not worsen, over up to approximately 38 months. Participants receive sacituzumab tirumotecan as an intravenous infusion, either alone or combined with intravenous pembrolizumab. The comparison group receives the treatment of physician's choice, which may include intravenous paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, liposomal doxorubicin, or oral capecitabine. The study is open-label and randomized, meaning participants are assigned to different treatment groups openly. Treatments are administered according to the study protocols, with ongoing monitoring during the treatment period. Throughout the study, participants are monitored regularly to assess their cancer status and overall health. This includes evaluations by blinded independent central review using RECIST 1.1 criteria to measure tumor progression. Researchers also assess safety, organ function, and performance status. The total participation time may last up to around 38 months to track progression-free survival and other outcomes. Careful monitoring helps ensure participant safety and collects data on treatment effectiveness and side effects.

Researchers are investigating the safety and effectiveness of Dato-DXd combined with osimertinib or alone compared to platinum-based doublet chemotherapy in treating adults with epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated (EGFRm) locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This Phase III, open-label study includes participants whose disease has worsened despite prior osimertinib treatment. The goal is to evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) over up to 2.5 years. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three groups: Dato-DXd plus osimertinib, Dato-DXd alone, or platinum-based doublet chemotherapy. Dato-DXd and chemotherapy drugs (pemetrexed, carboplatin, or cisplatin) are given by intravenous infusion, while osimertinib is taken orally. Treatment continues until the cancer progresses based on imaging, unacceptable side effects occur, or other reasons require stopping treatment. After stopping the study drugs, participants will have an end-of-treatment visit within 35 days and safety follow-up about one month later. During the trial, researchers will monitor participants with radiological scans and assess progression-free survival. Safety evaluations will continue after treatment ends to detect any side effects. The study includes adults aged 18 to 130 years with good performance status and adequate organ function who have progressed on prior osimertinib therapy. The total study duration includes treatment and follow-up periods to ensure thorough assessment of treatment effects and safety.

WAYFIND-R is a global registry focused on collecting high-quality real-world data from cancer patients diagnosed with solid tumors who have undergone next-generation sequencing (NGS) testing. The registry aims to support clinical and epidemiological research, generate evidence to better understand health outcomes and cancer care, and describe treatments and clinical courses for these patients. Participants must be adults diagnosed with any type of solid tumor at any disease stage and have had NGS testing within three months before enrollment. The study collects data without assigning specific treatments or interventions, instead tracking clinical characteristics and outcomes over time. During the study, researchers will gather information linking NGS results to treatments and patient outcomes, including overall survival for up to five years from enrollment. Participants provide informed consent, and data collected will help improve understanding of solid tumor cancers and their management in real-world settings.

Researchers are investigating whether the medicine vicadrostat, when taken together with empagliflozin, can lower the risk of heart-related problems in adults who have type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease but no history of heart failure. This study is a Phase III trial that compares the effects of vicadrostat plus empagliflozin to a placebo plus empagliflozin in people with these conditions. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group takes vicadrostat and empagliflozin tablets, and the other group takes placebo tablets that look like vicadrostat along with empagliflozin. All participants take one tablet daily for a period ranging from two and a half years up to four years and three months. Throughout the study, participants continue their usual medications for diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. During up to 51 months of participation, participants visit the study site regularly where doctors collect health information and blood samples. Researchers track when participants experience cardiovascular events such as heart-related deaths or heart failure events. The study also monitors participants’ overall health and any side effects they may experience to assess the safety and effects of the treatments.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of trimodulin as an additional treatment to standard care in adults hospitalized with severe community-acquired pneumonia (sCAP) who require invasive mechanical ventilation. This phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multi-center trial aims to compare trimodulin plus standard care against placebo plus standard care. The study also includes substudies to understand the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of trimodulin. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either trimodulin or placebo via intravenous infusion once daily for five consecutive days alongside standard care. After the treatment phase, patients will be followed for up to 23 days, with an end-of-follow-up visit or telephone call on day 29. For those still hospitalized after day 29, extended follow-up continues until discharge or day 90, followed by a final visit or call on day 91. During the study, participants will undergo various assessments including monitoring of mortality rates up to day 29, clinical evaluations, and safety monitoring. Researchers will collect data on inflammation markers and other health parameters. Follow-up contacts and visits will ensure ongoing evaluation of patient status and adverse events throughout the study period, which may last up to 91 days or longer depending on hospital discharge timing.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and tolerability of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) combined with immunotherapy agents, with or without chemotherapy, in patients with HER2 over-expressing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This Phase Ib study also looks at how effective these combinations may be. The study focuses on patients with advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC who have measurable disease and no known actionable genomic alterations with approved therapies. Patients must have an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 and be treatment-nave for advanced disease. The study is divided into multiple parts. Part 1 involves dose escalation to assess safety and recommended doses of T-DXd combined with durvalumab and chemotherapy agents (cisplatin, carboplatin, or pemetrexed), but no further patients will be enrolled in this part. Parts 3, 4, and 5 evaluate T-DXd with different immunotherapy agents (volrustomig or rilvegostomig), with or without carboplatin, and explore dose optimization and priming versus flat dosing regimens. Some parts include dose escalation, dose expansion, and optional arms at the sponsor's discretion. Participants will receive study drugs via intravenous infusion and undergo evaluations for safety, tolerability, and response. Researchers will monitor adverse events and serious adverse events for about 20 months from consent to determine the recommended phase 2 dose. Patients will be assessed for measurable disease using RECIST 1.1 criteria, and organ and bone marrow function will be checked. Safety monitoring includes cardiac assessments and screening for infections. The study aims to gather data on tolerability and potential efficacy over the treatment period.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of baxdrostat combined with dapagliflozin compared to dapagliflozin alone in adults aged 40 and older who have type 2 diabetes, established cardiovascular disease, a history of hypertension with systolic blood pressure of at least 130 mmHg at screening, and at least one additional risk factor for heart failure. This Phase III randomized, placebo-controlled, event-driven study aims to determine if the combination reduces the risk of heart failure events or cardiovascular death, with follow-up lasting up to 38 months. Participants who meet screening criteria but are not currently treated with SGLT2 inhibitors or have been treated for less than 4 weeks will enter a run-in period receiving dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily for 4 to 6 weeks before randomization. The study involves random assignment to either baxdrostat plus dapagliflozin or placebo plus dapagliflozin. Site visits occur at approximately 2, 4, 8, 16, and 34 weeks after randomization, then every 4 months. Participants discontinuing the blinded study drug may continue open-label dapagliflozin, with ongoing visits and data collection as per protocol. Participants will undergo an optional pre-screening period without site visits or consent to help identify eligibility, followed by up to 14 days of formal screening after informed consent. Researchers will monitor heart failure events and cardiovascular deaths as primary outcomes. Safety and adherence will be tracked throughout the study, including during any premature discontinuation of blinded treatment. The study will conclude when a predetermined number of secondary endpoint events have occurred, with continued follow-up as needed.
