This research aims to evaluate elafibranor, a study drug, compared to a placebo in adults with Primary Biliary Cholangitis PBC and cirrhosis, a liver disease causing bile duct damage and scarring. The trial focuses on whether elafibranor can better prevent worsening of the disease, including progression leading to liver transplant or death, and also assesses long-term safety and symptom impact such as itching and tiredness. Participants will be randomly assigned to take either an 80 mg tablet of elafibranor or a matching placebo tablet once daily, orally, with or without food. This double-blind treatment period can last up to 3.5 years for each participant, with tablets taken at approximately the same time each morning. The study is designed to compare these two groups over the long term. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including physical exams, vital signs, electrocardiograms, laboratory tests, and symptom questionnaires at intervals up to 3.5 years. Researchers will measure liver function tests, symptom scales, liver stiffness, and clinical outcomes related to disease progression. Safety is monitored through adverse event tracking and laboratory parameters, with follow-up extending to four weeks after the last dose. Overall participation may last up to 3.5 years.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of three different dose regimens of MORF-057, a small molecule drug, in adults with moderately to severely active Crohns disease CD. This Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study aims to compare these doses with a matching placebo during an induction treatment period. The study includes adult participants who have active symptoms of CD and have not adequately responded to other treatments. Participants will first undergo a 14-week induction period where they receive either one of the three blinded MORF-057 dose regimens or a matching placebo, all taken orally. Following this, all participants enter a 38-week maintenance period receiving open-label MORF-057. Those who complete this 52-week treatment phase may have the chance to continue treatment for an additional 52 weeks during a long-term extension. MORF-057 is designed to selectively inhibit integrin 47. During the study, participants will have their disease activity monitored using endoscopic assessments and clinical symptom scores, such as the Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohns Disease SES-CD and the Crohns Disease Activity Index CDAI. Researchers will assess the proportion of participants showing endoscopic response and clinical remission at Week 14. Safety and adherence will be closely followed throughout the treatment and extension phases. The entire study spans up to 6 years, allowing for long-term evaluation.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of a new medicine called NNC0487-0111 in people who have Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction HFpEF or Heart Failure with mildly reduced Ejection Fraction HFmrEF and excess body weight. This phase 3 clinical trial aims to find out if NNC0487-0111 is safe and effective for treating these conditions compared to a placebo. Participants have HFpEF or HFmrEF and a body mass index of 30 or above. The study is sponsored by Novo Nordisk AS and uses a randomized, quadruple-masked design. Participants will receive either NNC0487-0111 or a matching placebo by injection under the skin once a week. The NNC0487-0111 is given in increasing doses over time.
