Researchers are studying the long-term safety of vedolizumab given as a subcutaneous injection to children and teenagers aged 2 to 17 years with moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis UC or Crohns disease CD. The study aims to understand medical problems that may arise from extended use of vedolizumab SC, as well as its impact on hospital visits due to bowel inflammation and on the quality of life for these young participants. This Phase 3b extension study follows participants from an earlier study VedolizumabSC-3003 who have responded well or not to treatment. Participants who responded well to vedolizumab SC in the parent study will continue treatment in this extension study, receiving the same dose and frequency. They will be randomly assigned to receive vedolizumab 108 mg either via a prefilled syringe with an autoinjector pen or with a needle safety device. Dosage is every two weeks for participants weighing at least 30 kg and every four weeks for those weighing between 10 and under 30 kg. Those who did not respond well or recently used corticosteroids will not receive vedolizumab in this study but will be observed in an observational cohort. Throughout the study, participants will visit their study clinic multiple times over up to two years. Researchers will monitor adverse events and serious adverse events up to 18 weeks after the last dose, as well as special safety events in the observational group. They will also assess time to major inflammatory bowel disease-related events and changes in quality of life using the IMPACT-III questionnaire at regular intervals. Participants will have a safety follow-up visit after treatment ends, and those in the observational group will be followed for about two years after their last dose in the parent study.

Researchers are evaluating IM-101 in adults with generalized myasthenia gravis gMG and ocular myasthenia gravis oMG, focusing on those with acetylcholine receptor AChR antibody-positive and AChR antibody-negative forms. The goal is to assess the safety, tolerability, how the drug moves through and affects the body, and the potential effectiveness of IM-101. This Phase 1b2 trial is sponsored by ImmunAbs Inc. and includes multiple study parts to explore these aspects thoroughly. Participants will receive IM-101 or a placebo through intravenous infusions. In Part A, participants get a loading dose on Day 1 and Day 15, followed by a maintenance dose on Day 29, with doses escalating across cohorts. In Part B, dosing includes loading doses on Day 1 and Day 15 and maintenance doses on Days 29, 57, and 85. Some may receive additional doses depending on decisions by an independent data monitoring committee. The study uses randomized, double-blind assignments to compare different dose levels and placebo effects. During the study, participants will be monitored for side effects and safety up to about 99 days in Part A and 169 days in Part B. Researchers will assess the impact of treatment on daily living activities and specific myasthenia gravis severity scores at baseline and Week 16. Safety assessments include tracking adverse events, serious adverse events, and events leading to discontinuation. Participants will undergo regular evaluations to measure the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of IM-101, with follow-up visits scheduled according to the dosing timeline.

This research aims to evaluate how CDR132L, a potential new medicine, affects the structure and function of the heart in people living with heart failure who have preserved ejection fraction and left ventricular hypertrophy. The study compares different doses of CDR132L to a placebo, with treatment assignment determined randomly. It is a phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial sponsored by Novo Nordisk AS, lasting about 60 weeks.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of different doses of a new medicine called NNC0519-0130 in people living with chronic kidney disease, some of whom have type 2 diabetes and are overweight or obese. This Phase 2 study also compares NNC0519-0130 to semaglutide, an already prescribed medicine, and a placebo to see how they may improve kidney function. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive once-weekly subcutaneous injections of NNC0519-0130 with a fixed dose escalation until reaching a maintenance dose, semaglutide with a similar dosing schedule, or a placebo matching NNC0519-0130. The treatment period lasts up to 43 weeks with several dosing schemes and groups. During the study, participants will have their kidney function monitored through urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio changes at weeks 12, 24, and 36. Other assessments include estimated glomerular filtration rate, body weight changes, waist circumference, blood pressure, and glycated hemoglobin levels. Safety will be evaluated by tracking adverse events throughout the trial duration. Participants will be regularly assessed to understand the medicines effects and safety.

Researchers are studying the effects and safety of different doses of a new medicine called NNC0662-0419 in people with type 2 diabetes. This study compares NNC0662-0419 with semaglutide, an approved diabetes medication, and a placebo to find out if NNC0662-0419 is an effective and safe treatment option. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of these treatments. Participants will receive their assigned treatment by weekly injections under the skin. The study includes groups receiving NNC0662-0419 with increasing doses, semaglutide, or placebo matched to the investigational medicines. Treatments will be given once a week during the study period. During the study, participants will have their blood sugar control monitored by measuring glycated hemoglobin HbA1c at various time points up to 40 weeks. Researchers will also track changes in body weight, blood sugar levels, cholesterol, kidney function, and the number of adverse events. The study lasts until about 48 weeks, allowing for safety and effectiveness assessments throughout this time.

This research aims to evaluate how well two new drugs, CagriSema and cagrilintide, help children and adolescents with excess body weight lose weight. The study includes participants aged 8 to under 18 years who have overweight or obesity. It is a Phase 3 trial that compares these new drugs with semaglutide, a drug already prescribed for weight management, and a placebo to understand their effects on weight loss. Participants in the main study are randomly assigned to receive one of four treatments CagriSema, cagrilintide, semaglutide, or placebo. All treatments are given once weekly as subcutaneous injections, starting with a dose escalation phase lasting up to 16 weeks, followed by a maintenance phase for 52 weeks. Those who receive semaglutide do not join the extension study. Participants in the extension study continue treatment with either CagriSema or cagrilintide for up to 156 weeks, while placebo participants follow a specific dosing regimen before continuing in the extension. During the study, participants will be monitored for changes in body mass index BMI and weight over time, with assessments at baseline, week 68, and for some measures, week 224. Researchers will also track body composition, metabolic markers, quality of life, and safety events. The entire duration for participants can be up to nearly five years if they take part in both the main and extension studies, involving regular visits and evaluations to understand the treatments effects and safety.

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. The study is parallel in design, meaning participants are randomly assigned to one of the two groups and receive that treatment throughout the trial. This treatment period extends for up to about 165 weeks. The study evaluates the time to certain heart failure events, hospitalizations, cardiovascular deaths, and other major cardiovascular events. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly to assess heart failure outcomes and kidney function, as well as quality of life using questionnaires like the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire. Safety and effectiveness are assessed through hospital visits, heart failure event tracking, and blood tests including kidney function and blood sugar levels. The total participation spans over three years, with ongoing evaluations to measure the time to heart failure events and cardiovascular outcomes. Participants receive close medical monitoring throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating insulin icodec, a once-weekly insulin injection, compared to insulin glargine, a once-daily injection. This study focuses on adults with type 1 diabetes to see how well the weekly insulin controls blood sugar when combined with insulin aspart, which is taken 2 to 4 times daily. The trial aims to assess blood sugar control over about 8.5 months. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either insulin icodec once a week with insulin aspart daily or insulin glargine once a day with insulin aspart daily. Both insulins are given as subcutaneous injections. The study is designed as a parallel comparison to evaluate the effects of these insulin regimens on blood sugar control. During the study, participants will have regular assessments including blood tests to measure HbA1c and glucose levels, monitoring of hypoglycemic episodes, and tracking of insulin doses and body weight. The primary outcome is the change in HbA1c from baseline to week 26. Secondary outcomes include time spent in target glucose ranges and frequency of low blood sugar events. The study will last about 8.5 months with ongoing monitoring to evaluate treatment effects and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of brenipatide alongside standard care compared to a placebo plus standard care in adult participants with major depressive disorder. This study aims to see if brenipatide can delay the return of major depressive symptoms. It is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind trial sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company. Participants receive brenipatide or placebo through subcutaneous injections combined with their regular treatment. The study includes three periods a screening period lasting about 1 month, a treatment period of at least 12 months, and a follow-up period of about 2 months. The study duration may be shortened if depressive symptoms worsen or if participants withdraw. During the trial, participants will attend regular visits where various assessments will be conducted, including depression rating scales, functional impairment scores, and quality of life questionnaires. Researchers will monitor body weight changes, anxiety levels, and blood samples to measure drug levels and immune responses. The primary outcome is the time until relapse of major depressive disorder symptoms. Safety and adherence to self-injection and study procedures will be closely followed throughout participation.
