Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of combining durvalumab and domvanalimab compared to durvalumab plus placebo in adults with locally advanced (Stage III), unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease has not worsened after definitive platinum-based concurrent chemoradiation therapy. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, international study involves multiple centers. Participants receive intravenous infusions of durvalumab and domvanalimab or durvalumab and placebo. The treatments are given after patients have completed concurrent platinum-based chemotherapy and radiation therapy with a total radiation dose of approximately 60 Gy. The study monitors patients over time to assess treatment effects and safety. During the study, participants undergo evaluations including tumor tissue analysis for PD-L1 status, performance status assessments, and monitoring of organ and marrow function. The main outcome measured is progression-free survival up to 8 years after randomization. Researchers also monitor for any adverse effects and disease progression throughout the study period.

Researchers are investigating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of combining baxdrostat with dapagliflozin compared to dapagliflozin alone in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and high blood pressure. This Phase III, international, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to see if this combination reduces risks such as significant kidney function decline, kidney failure, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death. The study includes a 4-week run-in period where participants not previously treated with SGLT2 inhibitors receive dapagliflozin alone. After this, participants are randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat plus dapagliflozin or placebo plus dapagliflozin in a double-blinded manner. Study visits occur frequently initially (at 2, 4, 8, 16, 34, and 52 weeks after randomization) and then approximately every 4 months. If participants stop the blinded treatment early, they continue dapagliflozin alone unless specific criteria require its discontinuation. Participants will undergo regular assessments including blood pressure monitoring and laboratory tests related to kidney function and cardiovascular health. The primary outcome measures the reduction in risk of major kidney and heart events over up to 37 months. Even if participants stop the study treatment, they will continue follow-up visits and data collection to ensure comprehensive safety and efficacy evaluation throughout the study duration.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of HLX22 combined with trastuzumab and chemotherapy as the first treatment for patients with HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the gastric or gastroesophageal junction. This phase 2, double-blind, randomized, and multiregional study compares this combination against trastuzumab and chemotherapy with or without pembrolizumab. The study aims to measure how well the treatments work in controlling the disease and improving survival for up to five years. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives HLX22 at 15 mg/kg every three weeks along with trastuzumab, chemotherapy (XELOX regimen), and possibly a placebo for pembrolizumab. The other group receives a placebo for HLX22 plus trastuzumab, chemotherapy (XELOX), and possibly pembrolizumab every three weeks. Treatment continues until the disease worsens, unacceptable side effects occur, withdrawal of consent, or other protocol-specified reasons. Throughout the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including tumor scans reviewed by an independent committee to evaluate progression-free survival and overall survival over up to five years. Other evaluations include safety monitoring and organ function tests. The study tracks how long patients live without disease progression and overall survival, aiming to better understand the benefits and risks of HLX22 combined with current standard treatments.

Researchers are evaluating insulin icodec, a once-weekly insulin injection, compared to insulin glargine, a once-daily injection, in adults with type 1 diabetes. The study aims to see how well weekly insulin icodec controls blood sugar levels compared to daily insulin glargine when both are combined with insulin aspart. This phase 3 study will last about 26 weeks, or roughly 8.5 months. Participants will receive either insulin icodec or insulin glargine, both given as subcutaneous injections. All participants will also use insulin aspart as a subcutaneous injection. The study compares these two insulin regimens to assess their effects on blood sugar control over the 26-week period. During the study, researchers will monitor changes in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from the start of the study to week 26. Participants will follow the study protocol including self-measured plasma glucose profiles. Safety and efficacy will be evaluated throughout the treatment period to understand the impact of the insulin regimens on blood sugar control and participant health.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of calderasib combined with pembrolizumab as a first treatment in adults with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a specific KRAS G12C mutation and a PD-L1 tumor proportion score of 50% or higher. This Phase 3 trial aims to test if the combination of calderasib and pembrolizumab improves progression-free survival and overall survival compared to pembrolizumab with a placebo. Participants receive oral calderasib tablets or placebo along with pembrolizumab given by intravenous infusion. The study compares these two treatment groups to see which provides better outcomes. Treatments continue during the study, and there are no additional interventions described beyond these drugs. During the trial, participants undergo regular assessments including scans and tests to monitor their cancer's progression and overall health. The main outcomes measured are progression-free survival for up to about 42 months and overall survival for up to about 56 months. Safety is monitored throughout, and participants are followed for several years to evaluate long-term effects of the treatments.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of Dostarlimab compared to a placebo in adults with locally advanced unresected Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC). This phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study focuses on patients who have completed chemoradiation therapy with cisplatin and radiation and have no distant metastatic disease. The study requires confirmation of PD-L1 positive tumor status and specific testing for oropharyngeal carcinoma cases. Participants will receive either Dostarlimab or a placebo as an intravenous infusion following their chemoradiation treatment. The study monitors these treatments as sequential therapy to assess their impact on disease progression. Treatments are administered in a controlled, blinded manner to compare outcomes between the two groups effectively. During the study, participants will be followed for up to approximately five years to measure event-free survival, with evaluations conducted by blinded independent central review. Assessments will include monitoring for safety, disease status, and any adverse events throughout the study period. This long-term follow-up aims to provide comprehensive data on the effectiveness and safety of Dostarlimab as post-chemoradiation therapy in this patient population.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd) in adults with advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) that cannot be surgically removed. The study focuses on patients whose disease has worsened after receiving platinum-based chemotherapy and an immune checkpoint inhibitor. This phase 3 trial compares I-DXd to chemotherapy chosen by the doctor to see which treatment helps patients live longer. Participants receive either I-DXd or one of several chemotherapy drugs, including docetaxel, paclitaxel, or irinotecan hydrochloride, all given through intravenous infusion. The goal is to assess overall survival, progression-free survival, and objective response rate. The study includes a randomized, open-label design across multiple centers. During the trial, participants are monitored regularly with scans, imaging, and clinical assessments to measure tumor response and disease progression. Researchers will track overall survival from the time of randomization up to about 54 months. Safety is closely observed throughout the study. Participants must provide tumor samples before starting treatment and have measurable lesions suitable for evaluation. The study requires an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1 at baseline and includes detailed eligibility and exclusion conditions to ensure safety and appropriate selection.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of Ifinatamab Deruxtecan (I-DXd) compared to treatment chosen by physicians for adults with relapsed extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). The study aims to find out if I-DXd can improve the objective response rate, meaning the proportion of patients whose cancer shrinks or disappears, and extend overall survival time compared to other treatments. Secondary goals include assessing safety, patient-reported outcomes, immune response to I-DXd, B7-H3 protein levels, and how the drug is processed in the body. Participants will receive either I-DXd at a dose of 12 mg/kg given intravenously on the first day of each 21-day treatment cycle or one of the physician's choice treatments including Topotecan, Amrubicin, or Lurbinectedin, administered according to local standards of care. The study is randomized and open-label, meaning treatments are assigned by chance and both patients and doctors know which treatment is given. During the study, participants will be closely monitored with tumor assessments to evaluate response and detect disease progression, safety evaluations, and quality of life questionnaires. The main outcomes measured are the objective response rate assessed by a blinded independent review and overall survival time, tracked for up to approximately five years after randomization. Researchers will also monitor for any adverse effects and collect health economics data to understand the broader impact of treatments.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of telisotuzumab vedotin compared to docetaxel in adults with previously treated non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that overexpresses c-Met. This phase 3 study focuses on participants with advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have specific genetic markers and have progressed after prior therapies. The study aims to assess changes in disease activity and adverse events over time. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either intravenous telisotuzumab vedotin every two weeks or intravenous docetaxel every three weeks. Treatment continues until predefined discontinuation criteria are met. Those who benefit from the study treatment may have the option to continue receiving it through an extension or rollover study. Approximately 698 adults will be enrolled worldwide at about 330 sites. During the study, participants will attend regular hospital or clinic visits for medical assessments, blood tests, side effect monitoring, and questionnaires. Researchers will measure progression-free survival and overall survival for up to approximately 39 months. The study includes careful safety monitoring and evaluates the impact of treatment on disease progression and patient well-being.

Researchers are evaluating the changes in symptoms and functional limitations in adults with symptomatic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), including both obstructive and non-obstructive types. This Phase 3 trial aims to compare the effects of sotagliflozin, an oral medication, to a placebo in these participants. The study focuses on how these treatments affect heart-related quality of life as measured by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Clinical Summary Score (KCCQ CSS) over 26 weeks. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either sotagliflozin tablets or matching placebo tablets once daily. The study includes participants with specific heart function criteria, including left ventricular outflow tract gradients for obstructive or non-obstructive HCM and stable background therapy. The treatment period lasts 26 weeks, during which participants take the assigned tablets daily. Throughout the study, participants will undergo assessments including symptom evaluations and functional status measurements. Researchers will monitor changes from the start of the study to week 26 using the KCCQ CSS to evaluate treatment effects on heart symptoms and quality of life. Safety and adherence to medication will also be observed during this time.
