Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of oral AP1189 combined with methotrexate (MTX) in adults with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have not previously taken disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). This phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to understand how different doses of AP1189 affect disease activity and inflammation in participants with active RA symptoms. The study involves four groups of 60 participants each, receiving either AP1189 at doses of 40 mg, 70 mg, 100 mg, or a placebo, all alongside oral methotrexate. Treatments are given daily for 12 weeks. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of these groups to compare the dose response and safety of AP1189 combined with methotrexate versus methotrexate alone. Participants will attend scheduled visits to monitor their disease activity, safety, and tolerability of the treatment. Assessments include measuring changes in the Disease Activity Score 28 using C-Reactive Protein (DAS28-CRP) at week 12. The study also involves physical exams, joint assessments, blood tests for inflammation markers and antibodies, and safety monitoring. The total treatment period lasts 12 weeks, with ongoing evaluations throughout this time.

Researchers are evaluating AMG 732 in both healthy individuals and participants with moderate-to-severe active Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial. The study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of AMG 732 given by subcutaneous injection. Part A focuses on safety and tolerability after single doses in healthy participants, while Part B examines the efficacy of multiple doses in those with TED. Participants receive either AMG 732 or a placebo through subcutaneous injections. Part A involves single-dose administration to healthy adults aged 18 to 55 years, including a cohort of healthy Japanese participants. Part B enrolls adults aged 18 to 65 years with moderate-to-severe active TED, who receive multiple doses over approximately six months. The study design is randomized, double-masked, and placebo-controlled. During the trial, participants undergo various evaluations including safety monitoring for treatment-emergent adverse events up to 36 weeks, and measurement of proptosis (eye bulging) changes in the affected eye from baseline to the end of treatment. Assessments include clinical activity scores, laboratory tests, vital signs, ECGs, and physical exams. Researchers also track participants’ response to treatment and monitor for any side effects throughout the study duration.

Researchers are evaluating zolbetuximab combined with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy in adults with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic stomach or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer. This study focuses on cancer cells that are HER2-negative but positive for the Claudin 18.2 protein and PD-L1, exploring how well zolbetuximab helps the immune system attack the tumor alongside immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The trial is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind study designed to compare the overall survival of participants receiving zolbetuximab with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy versus those receiving a placebo with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy. Participants receive study treatment in 6-week cycles, with zolbetuximab or placebo given by infusion every 2 or 3 weeks. Chemotherapy regimens include either CAPOX (capecitabine tablets and oxaliplatin infusion) or mFOLFOX6 (infusions of 5-fluorouracil, folinic acid, and oxaliplatin) administered on schedules matching the cycles. Pembrolizumab is infused every 3 or 6 weeks. Treatment continues until cancer worsens, is not tolerated, or another therapy is needed, with pembrolizumab given for up to 2 years. After initial cycles, some chemotherapy drugs are adjusted to only include oral capecitabine or certain infusions. During the study, participants visit the clinic for treatments, health checks, and scans to monitor cancer changes and side effects. Researchers also track medical problems related to the treatments and may collect tumor samples if cancer worsens. After stopping treatment, participants have follow-up visits and scans every 9 to 12 weeks, along with telephone check-ins every 3 months. The primary outcome measured is overall survival up to 72 months, with ongoing monitoring to evaluate safety and treatment effects.

Researchers are evaluating whether ziltivekimab can help people who were hospitalized due to a heart attack by potentially reducing the development of heart disease and preventing new heart attacks or strokes. This Phase 3 study compares ziltivekimab with a placebo, which is a dummy medicine that has no effect on the body. Both treatments are given by chance, with equal likelihood for participants to receive either ziltivekimab or placebo. Participants will inject the study medicine once a month under the skin in the stomach, thigh, or upper arm. Ziltivekimab is given as an initial loading dose followed by monthly maintenance doses. The placebo group receives a matching injection schedule. The study duration is about two years. During the study, researchers will monitor participants for the time until the first serious heart-related event, including cardiovascular death, non-fatal heart attack, or non-fatal stroke. Participants will be closely observed from the start of randomization up to 25 months. The study includes regular follow-ups to assess safety and effectiveness of the treatments throughout this period.

Researchers are evaluating KBP-336, a drug designed for weekly injection, to see if it can reduce knee pain in people with osteoarthritis who are also obese. This study aims to find out if KBP-336 lowers knee pain and body weight compared to a placebo. It also explores the effects of KBP-336 on quality of life, metabolism, and safety in this group. Participants will receive either KBP-336 or a placebo once a week for six months. The trial includes regular visits every two weeks for checkups and tests. Participants are asked to keep a diary to record their symptoms and any additional pain medication they use. Throughout the study, researchers will track changes in body weight and knee pain using a standardized pain scale over 183 days. Safety and other health parameters will be monitored through clinic visits and participant diaries. The total study duration for each participant is approximately six months.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of obefazimod compared to a placebo in adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's Disease who have not responded well or are intolerant to conventional or advanced treatments. The study is a Phase 2b trial and includes three treatment phases: a 12-week Induction Phase, a 40-week Maintenance Phase, and a 48-week Extension Phase. The main goals are to assess how well obefazimod controls disease activity and its safety over these periods. Participants will receive either obefazimod or a matching placebo once daily, preferably in the morning with food. The trial includes an initial 12-week treatment to induce response, followed by a 40-week maintenance period to sustain results. Those who complete these phases may enter a 48-week Extension Phase to further evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of obefazimod compared to placebo. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including clinical evaluations of disease activity using the Crohn's Disease Activity Index and endoscopic scoring at various time points up to week 52. Safety is monitored throughout, especially during the Extension Phase with checks for adverse events, blood tests, and other laboratory evaluations at scheduled visits. Overall, participation may last over a year, with careful monitoring of treatment effects and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of sonelokimab compared with placebo in adults with active psoriatic arthritis who have not responded well or could not tolerate anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFb1) therapy. This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind study also includes risankizumab as an active reference treatment to better understand the benefits and risks of sonelokimab for this condition. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups receiving either sonelokimab at doses of 60 mg or 120 mg, placebo, or risankizumab. The treatments are given by injection under the skin. The study is conducted across multiple centers and compares the response rates after 16 weeks of treatment to evaluate improvement in psoriatic arthritis symptoms. During the trial, participants will undergo joint assessments, blood tests for specific antibodies, and evaluations of skin psoriasis. Researchers will monitor how many participants achieve at least a 50% improvement in arthritis criteria compared to placebo. Safety and side effects will be closely observed throughout the study. The total time involved includes screening, treatment, and follow-up visits to ensure thorough evaluation of both effectiveness and safety.
