Researchers are investigating new treatments for radiographic axial spondyloarthritis r-axSpA, a form of arthritis causing pain, stiffness, and swelling in the spine and pelvis joints. This condition shows visible damage on X-rays. The study aims to evaluate if different doses of the medicine tulisokibart can improve r-axSpA symptoms compared to a placebo, which helps measure the medicines effects accurately. Participants will be assigned to one of several groups receiving high, medium, or low doses of tulisokibart, or a placebo. The study includes a 16-week placebo-controlled phase. After that, participants receiving the low dose or placebo will be re-assigned to medium or high doses. Following this, there is a long-term extension lasting 124 weeks, which has a 40-week main extension and an 84-week optional extension, allowing continued treatment and observation. Throughout the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor symptoms and disease activity using various indexes and imaging scores. Researchers will track the percentage of participants who achieve improvement at week 16 and monitor safety by recording adverse events up to approximately 154 weeks. The study uses injections of tulisokibart or placebo under the skin and includes ongoing evaluations of physical function, pain, inflammation, and quality of life.

Researchers are studying TAK-279, an oral medicine aimed at reducing inflammation in adults with moderately to severely active Ulcerative Colitis UC or Crohns Disease CD, both serious long-term inflammatory bowel diseases. This study is an extension of previous parent studies and focuses on the long-term safety and tolerability of TAK-279, as well as its effects on reducing bowel inflammation and symptoms over time. Participants who responded to TAK-279 in the parent studies and completed specified treatment periods are invited to continue treatment in this open-label extension trial. All participants will receive Zasocitinib TAK-279 capsules orally for up to 156 weeks about 3 years. This includes those from different parent studies who completed either 12 or 52 weeks of treatment. During the study, participants will visit the clinic around 15 times. Researchers will monitor safety by tracking adverse events, vital signs, lab results, and heart function. They will also evaluate symptom improvements and quality of life using detailed clinical scores and questionnaires. The study aims to understand long-term effects and maintain careful follow-up through regular assessments over the treatment period.

Researchers are evaluating ELVN-001, an investigational drug, in adults with chronic myeloid leukemia CML, including those with a specific T315I mutation. This early-phase trial aims to find safe and tolerable doses for further study, especially in patients who have relapsed, are resistant, or cannot tolerate current tyrosine kinase inhibitors TKIs. The study also examines how ELVN-001 affects disease markers and its overall safety profile. The trial includes a dose escalation phase to identify recommended doses, followed by dose expansion phases that treat patients with or without the T315I mutation at those doses. ELVN-001 is given orally once or twice daily. Participants receive the drug as a single agent, and the study monitors responses and safety during these phases. Participants will undergo regular assessments including monitoring for side effects, laboratory tests, heart evaluations, and measurement of molecular responses related to CML over periods ranging from 28 days up to 3 years. The study tracks drug levels in the body for up to 6 months and evaluates long-term outcomes such as complete blood responses. Overall participation duration varies, with close safety follow-up throughout.

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 studying an investigational drug called linvoseltamab in adults who have a moderate risk of developing multiple myeloma. This group includes patients with precancerous conditions known as High-Risk Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance HR-MGUS and Non-High-Risk Smoldering Multiple Myeloma NHR-SMM. The main goal is to understand how well linvoseltamab can eliminate abnormal plasma cells and laboratory signs associated with these conditions. Participants will receive linvoseltamab following a step-up dosing regimen to assess safety and tolerability before moving to one of four full dosing regimens. The study is divided into a safety run-in phase and an expansion phase where participants are assigned to different dose groups without randomization. Linvoseltamab is given according to the study protocol, with dosing schedules designed to monitor effects and side effects. During the study, participants will be closely monitored through regular safety observations over 35 days and longer-term assessments up to 5.5 years. Researchers will track adverse events, treatment responses including complete response rates, laboratory results, and the presence of antibodies against the drug. Blood levels of linvoseltamab are measured up to 9 months. This comprehensive monitoring will help understand the drugs impact and safety over time.

Researchers are evaluating oral icotrokinra as a treatment for adults and adolescents with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the large intestine causing ulcers in the colon lining. The study aims to assess how well icotrokinra works, along with its safety and tolerability in this population. This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with a parallel group design including both adults and adolescents. Adult participants will be randomly assigned to receive either icotrokinra or placebo daily by mouth during a 12-week induction phase. At Week 12, those showing clinical response will enter a maintenance phase where they will continue icotrokinra or placebo daily for 40 weeks. Adults who do not respond will also enter the maintenance phase and receive icotrokinra. Adolescents will receive open-label icotrokinra during induction and then continue on icotrokinra during maintenance regardless of response. After completing the 40-week maintenance phase, eligible participants may join a long-term extension study. Participants will be monitored regularly through clinical assessments at specified time points including Week 12 for induction and Week 40 for maintenance. Outcomes measured include rates of clinical remission, symptom improvement, endoscopic and histologic healing, and quality of life scores. Safety will be evaluated by tracking adverse and serious adverse events throughout the study. The total study duration may extend up to approximately 6 years, ending in 2032, allowing long-term evaluation of icotrokinra in ulcerative colitis management.
