Researchers are evaluating how well oral icotrokinra works, its safety, and how well patients tolerate it in adults and adolescents with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis, a chronic condition where the colon lining becomes inflamed and develops ulcers. This is a Phase 3 study aimed at finding effective treatments for this condition using a rigorous comparison. Participants will receive either icotrokinra tablets or placebo tablets taken by mouth. The study includes an induction phase and a maintenance phase, with adults participating in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design, while adolescents join an open-label maintenance study. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor clinical remission rates at 12 weeks during induction and at 40 weeks during maintenance. Participants will undergo assessments including endoscopic evaluations and pregnancy tests for females of childbearing potential. Safety and tolerability will be closely observed, with the total study duration covering both induction and maintenance periods.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of different doses of a new medicine called NNC0519-0130 on kidney function in adults with chronic kidney disease, some of whom may also have type 2 diabetes, and who are living with overweight or obesity. The study compares NNC0519-0130 with semaglutide, an existing medicine, and a placebo, which is a "dummy" treatment. This is a Phase 2 proof-of-concept and dose-finding study aimed at understanding how these treatments may reduce kidney damage. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups receiving either NNC0519-0130, semaglutide, or placebo. All treatments are given by subcutaneous injection once weekly. The study treatment phase lasts up to 36 weeks, with assessments at weeks 12, 24, and 36 to monitor changes in kidney damage by measuring the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio. The overall study duration can be up to 43 weeks. During the study, participants will be regularly monitored through laboratory tests and clinical evaluations to assess kidney function and safety. Researchers will measure changes from the start of the study in the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio at multiple time points. Participants will also need to have stable doses of certain blood pressure medications before joining. Safety and treatment effects will be assessed throughout the study 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.

Researchers are evaluating ziltivekimab as a treatment for people living with heart failure and inflammation. This Phase 3 study compares ziltivekimab to a placebo in participants with heart failure who have mild to preserved ejection fraction and systemic inflammation. The study aims to assess the effect of ziltivekimab on cardiovascular death, heart failure hospitalization, or urgent heart failure visits over a period of up to 4 years. Participants will receive monthly injections of either ziltivekimab or a placebo using a pre-filled syringe or a pen-injector. The study medication is administered subcutaneously once a month for up to 4 years. The trial includes up to 20 clinic visits during which participants will be monitored and assessed. During the study, participants will use a study app on their phone to record all injections and complete questionnaires. Researchers will monitor participants for key outcomes like cardiovascular events and heart failure episodes from the time of randomization until the end of the study. Safety and health status will be regularly evaluated throughout the study period, which may last up to 48 months.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of the drug orforglipron compared with a placebo on cardiovascular outcomes in adults who have atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and/or chronic kidney disease (CKD). This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to investigate major adverse cardiovascular events over a long period. Participants will receive either orforglipron or a placebo orally. The study is event-driven and will continue until the occurrence of major cardiovascular events or up to about 5 years. The treatments are administered without revealing to participants which group they are in to ensure unbiased results. During the study, participants will be monitored for the time to the first occurrence of a major cardiovascular event. Researchers will collect data from baseline through the end of the study, which lasts approximately 5 years. Regular assessments will help evaluate the safety and effects of the treatments on cardiovascular health in this population.

Researchers are evaluating tulisokibart (also known as MK-7240), a medicine designed to treat active, moderate to severe Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, in an extension study. This study includes people who previously took tulisokibart in certain other Phase 2 or Phase 3 studies for these conditions. The main goals are to learn about the long-term safety of tulisokibart and how well people tolerate it over time. Participants in this study will continue receiving tulisokibart, which is a humanized monoclonal antibody given by subcutaneous injection. A matching placebo is also used for comparison. The study focuses on ongoing treatment and monitoring of participants who showed clinical benefit in their earlier parent studies. Female participants who can become pregnant must follow specific pregnancy testing and contraceptive requirements during the study. During the study, researchers will monitor participants for adverse events and any treatment discontinuations due to side effects, tracking these for up to approximately 378 weeks. Safety and efficacy assessments happen regularly, and participants are followed closely to understand the long-term effects of tulisokibart. The total length of participation aligns with continued treatment and safety observation over several years.
