Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of elenestinib (BLU-263) combined with symptom-directed therapy (SDT) compared to placebo plus SDT in people with indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM) whose symptoms are not well controlled by SDT alone. This Phase 2/3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study includes participants with ISM and smoldering systemic mastocytosis, and also involves groups for pharmacokinetic studies and participants who previously received a selective KIT inhibitor. The study is divided into multiple parts. Parts 1 and 2 enroll participants with ISM who will receive either elenestinib oral tablets or placebo alongside their symptom-directed therapy. Participants from Part 2 may continue into Part 3, which is an open-label extension where all receive elenestinib. Part K enrolls participants with ISM who have prior experience with selective KIT inhibitors. The study tracks treatment effects and safety over time. Participants will be monitored for up to 5 years, with assessments including the number of treatment-emergent adverse events, changes in symptom scores measured by the ISM-Symptom in Assessment Form, and overall safety monitoring. Evaluations occur at baseline, 13 weeks, 49 weeks, and throughout the long-term follow-up. The study also includes detailed tracking of symptom control and adverse events to evaluate the impact of treatment on participants' health and quality of life.

Researchers are assessing the safety and effects of Ritlecitinib, a study medicine, for treating hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), a condition causing long-lasting, painful red skin lumps. This phase 2 study focuses on adults with moderate to severe HS who have not responded well to or cannot tolerate antibiotics. The goal is to compare experiences and outcomes between those receiving Ritlecitinib and those receiving a placebo. Participants will be randomly assigned to take either Ritlecitinib or a placebo pill once daily at home. The treatment involves an initial loading dose of Ritlecitinib for 8 weeks, followed by an 8-week maintenance dose, totaling 16 weeks of treatment. The placebo group will receive a matching pill with no active medicine. Over approximately 24 weeks, including screening and follow-up, participants will attend around 10 clinic visits for health evaluations, including physical exams, blood and urine tests, vital signs, chest X-rays, ECGs, hearing tests, and questionnaires. They will also track their medication intake and HS symptoms daily using an electronic diary on a mobile phone. The study will measure how many patients achieve at least a 50% improvement in HS symptoms by week 16 to evaluate treatment response and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of rilzabrutinib compared to placebo in adults with active Immunoglobulin G4 Related Disease (IgG4-RD). This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind study aims to measure the time until the first IgG4-RD clinical disease flare during a 52-week treatment period. Additional goals include assessing disease control, flare-free rates, use of glucocorticoid rescue, and monitoring safety through adverse events, laboratory tests, and electrocardiograms. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either oral rilzabrutinib tablets or placebo for 52 weeks. Glucocorticoids may be used as rescue medication if needed. The study includes a screening period lasting 4 to 6 weeks before treatment begins, followed by the 52-week double-blind treatment phase, and a 2-week follow-up after treatment. An optional open-label extension lasting up to 108 weeks is also available for participants. During the study, participants will attend 16 visits for assessments, which may include clinical evaluations, imaging tests such as CT, MRI, PET, or ultrasound to monitor disease activity, and laboratory tests. Researchers will track time to disease flare and collect data on flare-free rates, safety parameters, and medication use. Participants' vaccination status and contraceptive use will be monitored according to local guidelines, and overall study participation could last up to 60 weeks or longer if joining the extension phase.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd) alone or combined with other treatments in people with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This study aims to understand how well patients tolerate the treatment, find a safe dose for combining I-DXd with other drugs, and measure prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels during treatment. The study is part of a larger master screening protocol and includes patients with confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma who have progressive disease despite prior therapies. Participants receive treatments including I-DXd given through intravenous infusion, sometimes combined with other drugs such as docetaxel (IV), MK-5684, abiraterone, or enzalutamide (all oral). Before each I-DXd dose, patients take premedication to prevent nausea and vomiting. The study includes both a safety lead-in phase and an efficacy phase, with ongoing monitoring for side effects and tolerability. The combination therapies are carefully dosed and scheduled according to the study protocol. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments to monitor side effects, measure PSA response, and track any dose-limiting toxicities. Safety is closely followed, particularly during the first 21 days for combination treatments, and throughout up to 54 months for long-term outcomes. Researchers also observe if participants discontinue treatment due to adverse events. The study requires ongoing visits and evaluations to ensure participant health and collect data on treatment effects over time.

Researchers are looking for ways to treat germinal center B-cell-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (GCB DLBCL). DLBCL is a fast-growing blood cancer that affects B-cells. GCB is a type of DLBCL that affects young B-cells that are still maturing. The goal of this study is to learn if more people who receive zilovertamab vedotin (MK-2140) and R-CHP have the cancer respond (go away) than those who receive polatuzumab vedotin and R-CHP.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, tolerability, and therapeutic effects of a combination treatment using BNT113 and pembrolizumab compared to pembrolizumab alone for patients with unresectable recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) that is positive for human papillomavirus 16 (HPV16+) and expresses the PD-L1 protein with a combined positive score of 1 or higher. This Phase II/III trial includes patients whose cancer cannot be treated with local therapies and who have not received prior systemic anticancer therapy for their current disease condition. The trial consists of two parts. Part A is a non-randomized Safety Run-In Phase to confirm the safety and tolerability of BNT113 combined with pembrolizumab at the selected dose. Part B is a randomized phase that compares BNT113 plus pembrolizumab against pembrolizumab alone as first-line treatment. Patients in Part A continue their treatment without randomization. Treatments are given by intravenous injection or infusion, and patients may receive either combination therapy or monotherapy for up to 24 months. There is also an optional pre-screening phase to test tumor samples for HPV16 DNA and PD-L1 expression before entering the main trial. Participants undergo regular assessments including tumor measurements based on RECIST 1.1 criteria confirmed by independent review. Researchers monitor treatment-emergent adverse events for up to 27 months in Part A and evaluate overall survival and progression-free survival for up to 48 months in Part B. Tumor tissue samples are collected before treatment to confirm eligibility. The study involves ongoing safety monitoring and efficacy evaluations throughout the treatment and follow-up periods.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of trontinemab in people aged 50 to 90 with early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, ranging from mild cognitive impairment to mild dementia. This Phase III clinical trial focuses on those who show evidence of Alzheimer's pathology and have a recent history of cognitive decline. The study aims to measure changes in cognitive function over 72 weeks. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either intravenous trontinemab or a placebo. The trial is designed as a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives the active drug or placebo. The treatment period lasts up to 72 weeks, during which participants will undergo various assessments to monitor their cognitive status and safety. During the study, participants will complete clinical tests including cognitive assessments and imaging such as MRI, PET scans, or cerebrospinal fluid analysis to confirm Alzheimer's pathology. A study partner will assist participants as needed. Researchers will track changes from the start of the study through week 72 using tools like the Clinical Dementia Rating. Safety monitoring and adherence to study procedures will also be closely observed throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety and effects of nerandomilast in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) who have previously completed treatment with nerandomilast in earlier studies. The study aims to understand how well participants tolerate nerandomilast over time, and whether it helps improve lung function, delays symptom worsening, reduces hospital visits, or impacts survival. This is a Phase 3 open-label extension trial. Participants take nerandomilast tablets daily for up to 1 year and 10 months while continuing their usual pulmonary fibrosis treatments. The study follows an open-label design where all participants receive nerandomilast. There are no placebo or comparator groups in this extension phase. Throughout the study, participants regularly visit their doctors for health assessments and lung function tests. Doctors monitor any health problems or side effects experienced during treatment. The main outcome measured is whether participants experience any adverse events up to the final follow-up visit, which occurs at week 99. This close monitoring helps evaluate the long-term safety and potential benefits of nerandomilast in this patient group.

This research aims to collect long-term safety and effectiveness data for participants treated with ibrutinib, a medicine used for various blood cancers and conditions including Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma, Mantle Cell Lymphoma, Follicular Lymphoma, Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma, Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia, and Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease. It also provides ongoing access to ibrutinib for participants who have completed previous ibrutinib studies, continue treatment, and benefit from it. This is an open-label Phase 3b study without formal hypothesis testing. Participants will continue their current ibrutinib dosing regimen from the prior study, taken orally once daily as capsules in doses of 560 mg, 420 mg, 280 mg, or 140 mg, around the same time each day. Treatment continues until the investigator decides the participant no longer benefits due to disease progression or side effects, the participant withdraws, alternative ibrutinib access becomes available, or the study ends. Participants not able to access ibrutinib elsewhere can keep receiving the single-agent ibrutinib until all transition or stop treatment, or until the study is stopped. During the study, safety is monitored throughout and summarized, and effectiveness may be analyzed together with previous study data. The main outcome measured is the number of participants experiencing any adverse events within 30 days after the last dose or until starting another cancer treatment. Participants will undergo assessments including pregnancy testing and investigator evaluations to ensure ongoing benefit and safety. The study duration depends on when participants stop treatment or transition to other access.

Researchers are investigating the long-term safety and effectiveness of APG777, a treatment for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD), in patients who have already completed an initial APG777 study. This phase 2, multicenter, double-blind study focuses on those who may benefit from extended treatment with APG777 to better understand its ongoing effects and safety over time. The study includes three main periods: a screening visit that occurs at the end of the previous study's maintenance period, an extended treatment period where participants receive APG777 subcutaneous injections every 12 or 24 weeks, and a post-treatment follow-up period. Participants will continue using their chosen non-medicated moisturizer from the previous study throughout this extension. During the study, participants' health and response to treatment will be closely monitored, including tracking any treatment-emergent adverse events for up to three years. Researchers will assess the long-term safety and efficacy of APG777 while ensuring participants remain compliant with study protocols. This ongoing observation aims to provide detailed information on how APG777 affects patients over extended use.
