Researchers are evaluating molnupiravir, a study medicine designed to stop the COVID-19 virus from multiplying, to see if it can prevent severe illness from COVID-19 more effectively than a placebo. This Phase 3 randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study focuses on non-hospitalized adults at high risk of severe disease progression due to COVID-19. The study addresses the need for alternative treatments for people who cannot take certain COVID-19 medications due to availability or potential drug interactions. Participants will receive either molnupiravir or a placebo, both given orally as two 400 mg film-coated tablets every 12 hours for 5 days, totaling 10 doses. Some participants may also receive remdesivir as part of standard care if clinically appropriate and available. The study compares the effects of molnupiravir with placebo in preventing severe illness outcomes. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for outcomes such as hospitalization, death, or medically attended visits related to COVID-19 up to 29 days. Safety is assessed by tracking adverse events for up to about 5 months and discontinuation of study treatment due to adverse events for about 5 days. The study involves laboratory tests, symptom assessments, and safety evaluations to understand molnupiravir's impact on disease progression and participant health.

The trial investigates the use of volrustomig in participants with unresected locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) who have not shown disease progression after receiving definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT). The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of volrustomig compared to observation in this patient population. Participants have tumors that express PD-L1 and the study is conducted as a Phase III, randomized, open-label, multi-center global trial. Participants are assigned to receive either volrustomig as sequential therapy following cCRT or to an observation group. The treatment period involves monitoring participants who have completed definitive cCRT but remain unresected and have no evidence of metastatic disease. The study focuses on participants with Stage III, IVA, or IVB LA-HNSCC according to AJCC criteria, who have not undergone tumor resection before cCRT and have not been treated with radiotherapy alone. During the study, participants are regularly evaluated for progression-free survival, with follow-up lasting up to approximately 8 years to assess long-term outcomes. Researchers will monitor safety and disease progression closely. The overall participation duration includes screening, treatment or observation, and extended follow-up to capture both efficacy and safety data over time.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of two dosing regimens of itepekimab compared to placebo as an add-on treatment to intranasal corticosteroids in adult men and women with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). This multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study includes participants aged 18 years and older who have inadequately controlled CRSwNP. The study aims to better understand how these treatments impact nasal polyp symptoms and disease control over a one-year period. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of two dosing regimens of itepekimab or a placebo, all administered by subcutaneous injection. All participants will continue using mometasone furoate nasal spray as standard intranasal corticosteroid therapy. Treatment will last up to 52 weeks, followed by a 20-week safety follow-up period. The study includes a total of 9 site visits and 20 phone or home visits during the participant's involvement. Participants will be involved in regular assessments including endoscopic nasal polyp scoring and nasal congestion symptom evaluations at baseline and throughout the 24 weeks, among other time points. Researchers will monitor changes in nasal polyp scores and nasal congestion scores to measure the treatment effects. Safety and tolerability will be closely followed during the treatment and safety follow-up periods, with total participation lasting up to 76 weeks for most participants, or 56 weeks for those transitioning to an extension study.

Researchers are investigating how CDR132L, a potential new medicine, affects the structure and function of the heart in people living with heart failure with reduced or mildly reduced ejection fraction and left ventricular hypertrophy. This Phase 2 study compares CDR132L to a placebo, where participants receive either treatment randomly. The study aims to evaluate changes in a specific biomarker, microRNA-132-3p, over 24 weeks, with the total study duration lasting about 60 weeks. Participants will receive either CDR132L or a placebo through an intravenous infusion once every 4 weeks for a total of 48 weeks. The treatments are given under a double-blind design, meaning neither the participants nor the researchers know who receives which treatment until the study ends. This allows for a fair comparison of the effects of CDR132L versus placebo on heart structure and function. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including laboratory tests to measure heart-related biomarkers and imaging tests such as echocardiography to monitor heart structure and function. Researchers will track changes from baseline to week 24 in microRNA-132 levels and continue monitoring participants through the 60-week study period to evaluate safety and treatment effects. Ongoing clinical evaluations and safety checks will help ensure participant well-being throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating how CDR132L, a potential new medicine, affects the structure and function of the heart in people living with heart failure who have preserved ejection fraction and left ventricular hypertrophy. This phase 2 study compares different doses of CDR132L with a placebo, which is an inactive treatment. The study aims to understand the safety and effectiveness of CDR132L in reversing heart remodeling in this population. Participants will receive either CDR132L or placebo administered intravenously once every 4 weeks. The study treatment period lasts about 24 weeks, followed by additional assessments leading up to a total study duration of approximately 60 weeks. The study is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives the active treatment or placebo during the main phase. During the study, participants will undergo various evaluations including heart imaging via echocardiography to measure heart function and structure, laboratory tests including NT-proBNP levels, and monitoring of heart failure symptoms. The main outcome measured is the change in normalized microRNA-132-3p levels from baseline to week 24. Researchers will also monitor safety and treatment effects throughout the study, which includes regular visits and assessments over the full 60-week period.

Researchers are investigating whether ziltivekimab can treat people living with heart failure and inflammation. The study compares ziltivekimab, a new medicine not yet approved anywhere, to a placebo, an inactive substance that looks like the medicine but contains no active drug. Participants have an equal chance of receiving either treatment. The study is expected to last up to one year and four months and focuses on people with heart failure who also have systemic inflammation. Participants will receive either ziltivekimab or placebo by monthly injections under the skin. The doses are given once a month throughout the study period. The study lasts for 12 months of treatment following randomization, during which the effects of the medicine compared to placebo will be closely monitored. During the study, participants will undergo various assessments including a heart failure questionnaire called the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) to measure symptoms and physical function over the 12 months. Other evaluations may include walking tests and heart function tests. Safety and health will be monitored regularly to understand how participants respond to the treatments and to track any side effects or changes in heart failure symptoms.

This research aims to assess the effectiveness, safety, and patient-reported outcomes of a port delivery system (PDS) with ranibizumab 100 mg/mL refilled every 36 weeks in people with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). The study is a Phase IIIb, multicenter, single-arm trial involving participants who have been diagnosed with nAMD within the past 24 months and previously treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections. The goal is to understand how well this refill regimen works and how safe it is for patients living with this eye condition. Participants will receive ranibizumab through a PDS implant that is refilled every 36 weeks. The treatment includes the implant delivering ranibizumab continuously, plus supplemental ranibizumab injections of 0.5 mg into the eye as needed. The study follows a schedule where the implant is exchanged or refilled at 36-week intervals to maintain treatment. The device is designed to provide a steady release of medication directly to the eye over time. During the study, participants will have their vision tested using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart at 4 meters, focusing on changes in their best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at baseline and weeks 68 and 72. Researchers will monitor safety, effectiveness, and patient experiences throughout the trial. The total observation period includes assessments at these time points to evaluate how vision changes with the PDS treatment and to track any side effects or safety concerns.

Researchers are studying the safety and effectiveness of brenipatide, given alongside standard treatment, compared to a placebo with standard treatment, to see if it can delay the return of symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder. This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind study involving adult participants aged 18 to 75 years. The trial is designed to assess how long it takes for depression symptoms to relapse after starting the adjunctive treatment. Participants will receive either brenipatide or placebo, both administered by subcutaneous injection, in addition to their stable standard of care medication. The study has three main periods: a screening period lasting about one month, followed by a treatment phase of at least 12 months where participants receive the assigned injections, and finally a follow-up period of roughly two months. The total time in the study can be shorter if symptoms worsen or if a participant withdraws. During the trial, participants will need to attend scheduled visits, self-inject the study drug, maintain study diaries, and complete questionnaires. Researchers will monitor participants closely to determine the time until relapse of major depressive disorder symptoms occurs. Safety and adherence to study procedures will be tracked throughout the trial, with the primary outcome measuring the number of days from randomization until relapse.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of Dostarlimab compared to a placebo in adults with locally advanced unresected Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC). This phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study focuses on patients who have completed chemoradiation therapy with cisplatin and radiation and have no distant metastatic disease. The study requires confirmation of PD-L1 positive tumor status and specific testing for oropharyngeal carcinoma cases. Participants will receive either Dostarlimab or a placebo as an intravenous infusion following their chemoradiation treatment. The study monitors these treatments as sequential therapy to assess their impact on disease progression. Treatments are administered in a controlled, blinded manner to compare outcomes between the two groups effectively. During the study, participants will be followed for up to approximately five years to measure event-free survival, with evaluations conducted by blinded independent central review. Assessments will include monitoring for safety, disease status, and any adverse events throughout the study period. This long-term follow-up aims to provide comprehensive data on the effectiveness and safety of Dostarlimab as post-chemoradiation therapy in this patient population.

Researchers are evaluating adults aged 18 and older who have a specific eye condition called centre-involved diabetic macular edema (CI-DME), a type of diabetic macular edema. The study aims to find out whether an oral medicine called BI 1815368 can improve vision in people with CI-DME and to determine the best dose. This is a Phase 2 study focused on assessing the medicine's safety, efficacy, and tolerability over 48 weeks of treatment. The study has two parts. In the first part, participants are randomly assigned to one of two equal groups: one group takes BI 1815368 tablets and the other takes placebo tablets, which look like the medicine but contain no active drug. In the second part, participants are randomized into four groups of equal size, three of which receive different daily doses of BI 1815368, while one group continues to take placebo. All participants take tablets twice daily for about 11 months. Participants stay in the study for about a year and visit the study site 16 times. During visits, doctors check vision and collect detailed eye pictures along with health information. Researchers compare changes in vision and eye condition over time between the groups. The main outcome measured is whether participants gain 10 or more Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letters of visual acuity at week 48 compared to baseline, indicating improved sight.
