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 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.

Researchers are evaluating AZD0780, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor, in a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study. This trial focuses on patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ASCVD or those at high risk for a first ASCVD event. The study aims to assess how AZD0780 compares to placebo in reducing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, also known as MACE-PLUS, over the course of the trial. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either oral AZD0780 once daily or a matching placebo once daily. The study continues until a primary analysis censoring date, which may be up to approximately 54 months from randomization. After this, a study closure visit will be conducted as the final visit for each participant. During the study, participants will be regularly monitored for cardiovascular events including heart attacks, strokes, urgent coronary revascularizations, and other related outcomes. Researchers will track the time to first occurrence of these events as the primary outcome. Safety and other secondary outcomes like all-cause mortality will also be assessed. The total participation time can last up to about 54 months, with ongoing evaluations throughout this period.

Researchers are evaluating intismeran autogene combined with pembrolizumab compared to placebo plus pembrolizumab as an additional treatment after surgery for participants with certain stages of non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC. The study focuses on participants with margin-negative, completely resected Stage II, IIIA, or IIIB with nodal involvement NSCLC. The main question is whether the combination including intismeran autogene improves disease-free survival compared to pembrolizumab with placebo. Participants are randomly assigned to two groups. One group receives 1 mg of intismeran autogene by intramuscular injection every 3 weeks for nine doses plus 400 mg of pembrolizumab by intravenous infusion every 6 weeks for up to nine doses. The other group receives a placebo injection on the same schedule plus pembrolizumab on the same infusion schedule. Treatment continues until disease recurrence, unacceptable side effects, or approximately one year, whichever comes first. During the study, participants are monitored through regular assessments up to about 78 months for disease-free survival and up to 12 years for overall survival and other health outcomes. Quality of life questionnaires and adverse event monitoring are conducted at baseline and throughout the study. The research team tracks lung cancer-specific survival and distant metastasis-free survival, as well as changes in symptoms like coughing and chest pain. Safety is closely observed throughout treatment and follow-up periods.

Researchers are evaluating sacituzumab tirumotecan alone and in combination with pembrolizumab compared to treatment chosen by the physician in participants with hormone receptor positivehuman epidermal growth factor receptor-2 negative HRHER2- breast cancer that is locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic. The study aims to see if these treatments improve progression-free survival compared to standard physician-chosen therapies. This is a Phase 3 clinical trial assessing advanced breast cancer treatments. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three groups sacituzumab tirumotecan alone given by intravenous infusion every two weeks until disease progression or discontinuation sacituzumab tirumotecan plus pembrolizumab with sacituzumab tirumotecan given every two weeks and pembrolizumab given every six weeks for up to about two years or treatment chosen by the physician, which may include various chemotherapy options such as paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, capecitabine, or liposomal doxorubicin, administered with schedules depending on the drug. Treatments continue until disease progression or discontinuation. During the study, participants will have regular assessments including imaging to evaluate progression-free survival, overall survival, response rates, and quality of life measures using questionnaires. Safety is monitored by tracking adverse events and treatment discontinuations. The primary outcome is measured up to approximately 38 months, with additional secondary outcomes followed up to about 77 months. Participants are followed closely through study visits and evaluations throughout the trial period.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of Dato-DXd combined with osimertinib or Dato-DXd alone compared to platinum-based doublet chemotherapy in people with EGFR-mutated locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC whose disease progressed after prior osimertinib treatment. This Phase III, open-label, randomized study aims to compare progression-free survival among these treatments to better understand options for this condition. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three groups Dato-DXd plus osimertinib, Dato-DXd alone, or platinum-based doublet chemotherapy. Dato-DXd is given as an intravenous infusion every 3 weeks, osimertinib is taken orally daily, and chemotherapy involves pemetrexed combined with carboplatin or cisplatin every 3 weeks for four cycles, followed by maintenance pemetrexed. Treatments continue until disease progression, unacceptable side effects, or other reasons to stop. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular assessments including radiological scans to monitor tumor response using RECIST v1.1 criteria, safety evaluations, and health status measurements. After stopping treatment, an end-of-treatment visit occurs within 35 days, followed by safety follow-up 28 days after the last dose. The study primarily measures progression-free survival over up to 2.5 years, with additional outcomes including overall survival, response rates, quality of life, and pharmacokinetics monitored for up to 3.5 years.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of vicadrostat combined with empagliflozin in adults who have type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease but no history of heart failure. The study aims to assess whether this combination can help reduce cardiovascular risks compared to a placebo with empagliflozin. This Phase III trial involves adults with these conditions who are already receiving treatment for them. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group takes vicadrostat and empagliflozin tablets daily, while the other group takes placebo tablets that look like vicadrostat but have no active medicine, alongside empagliflozin. Treatment lasts from two and a half years up to four years and three months. All participants continue their usual medications for diabetes, blood pressure, and heart disease during the study. Throughout the study, lasting up to four years and three months, participants visit the study site regularly for health checks and blood samples. Doctors monitor cardiovascular events and any side effects experienced. The main outcome measured is the time until the first cardiovascular death or heart failure event. Other health indicators like blood pressure and kidney function are also tracked to understand the effects of the treatment combination.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of trimodulin as an additional treatment to standard care in hospitalized adults with severe community-acquired pneumonia sCAP who require invasive mechanical ventilation IMV. This phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study aims to compare trimodulin plus standard care against placebo plus standard care. The study also investigates detailed pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of trimodulin. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either trimodulin a human immunoglobulin solution containing IgM, IgA, and IgG or a placebo human albumin 1% via intravenous infusion once daily for five consecutive days alongside standard care. After treatment, participants will enter a follow-up phase lasting up to 23 days, including an end-of-follow-up visit or phone call on day 29. If still hospitalized after day 29, extended follow-up continues until discharge or day 90, followed by a closing visit or call around day 91. During the study, participants undergo various assessments including monitoring of mortality rates up to 28 and 90 days, changes in organ failure scores, clinical cure of pneumonia, ventilator and oxygen use, ICU and hospital stay durations, readmission rates, adverse events, lab tests, electrocardiograms, and vital signs. Safety evaluations and outcome measurements occur throughout treatment and follow-up, with total participation lasting up to approximately 90 days.

This research aims to collect real-world data on the characteristics, management, healthcare use, and outcomes of patients living with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. It is an international observational registry that includes patients from many countries to better understand how these conditions are treated in everyday clinical practice. Participants in this registry are observed without receiving experimental treatments. Data are collected both retrospectively and prospectively using a cloud-based electronic case report form accessible to investigators and a scientific committee. The registry includes groups of patients with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, or heart failure, either as their primary condition or as a coexisting condition. Patients provide information about their health status, treatments, and outcomes over time. Researchers collect data on demographics, disease characteristics, laboratory tests, treatments, healthcare visits, hospitalizations, and lifestyle factors. The study measures many outcomes such as blood sugar levels, kidney function, heart function, medication use, and health events over an average of three years. Participation is voluntary and ongoing, with data collection continuing until the study end date in 2030.
