Researchers are studying adult participants with chronic kidney disease CKD who have high protein levels in their urine. The study aims to evaluate the effects of a combination of two drugs, zibotentan and dapagliflozin, compared to dapagliflozin alone. This Phase II, multicenter, randomized, double-blind study also assesses safety and tolerability of these treatments alongside standard care, including participants with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Participants not already using SGLT2 inhibitors will first receive dapagliflozin alone daily for 28 days during a run-in period. Then, all participants enter a 12-week double-blind treatment phase where they receive either the fixed-dose combination of zibotentan and dapagliflozin or dapagliflozin alone daily, with doses adjusted based on kidney function eGFR. After this period, participants stop the blinded treatment and continue open-label dapagliflozin alone for 4 weeks for safety follow-up. During the study, participants will have their urinary albumin to creatinine ratio UACR measured to evaluate kidney function at 12 weeks. Other assessments include urinary protein to creatinine ratio, blood pressure changes, and monitoring of any adverse events from the start of treatment through a follow-up visit 18 weeks after enrollment. The total participation includes screening, run-in, treatment, and safety follow-up periods, providing detailed data on the treatment effects and safety profile.

Researchers are conducting a national, multi-center, prospective study to collect real-world data on patients in the Russian Federation with advanced and aggressive endometrial cancer, specifically stage III-IV disease. The study focuses on molecular profiling markers such as POLE mutations, dMMRpMMR, p53 abnormalities, HER2 expression, and PD-L1 status, alongside demographic and clinical characteristics. It aims to understand first-line postoperative treatment approaches in these patients. The study involves no additional procedures beyond routine clinical practice. Patients provide archival tumor tissue samples obtained from biopsy or post-operative formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded FFPE blocks for molecular testing. Testing uses immunohistochemistry IHC for certain markers and next-generation sequencing NGS or polymerase chain reaction PCR for POLE mutations. Data will be collected at two visits a baseline visit to gather clinical and demographic information and tissue testing results, and a final visit 6 months later or at disease progression to collect follow-up treatment and progression data. Participants data and outcomes will be recorded in an electronic case report form. The study measures include rates of positive molecular markers and various clinical and treatment-related outcomes over 24 to 33 months. Approximately 500 patients will be enrolled across about 30 sites. The overall study duration is about 27 months or until data collection for all patients is complete.

This study evaluates the long-term safety and tolerability of pelacarsen TQJ230 in people with established cardiovascular disease and elevated Lipoproteina who completed a previous related study. It is an open-label extension trial, meaning all participants receive the study drug without placebo comparison.

Participants receive monthly injections of pelacarsen 80 mg subcutaneously for up to 36 months during this extension phase. This phase is designed to provide access to the study drug after the initial trial and to monitor participants closely. The study does not involve randomization or blinding, and all enrolled participants receive the active drug. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including monitoring for adverse events and cardiovascular events, as well as measuring Lipoproteina levels at baseline and several time points over 36 months. Safety and tolerability will be closely tracked throughout the treatment period. The total duration of participation corresponds to the length of the extension phase, up to three years.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness, safety, how the body processes, and immune response to BCD-236 combined with chemotherapy in women with relapsed or metastatic triple negative breast cancer TNBC who have received previous treatments. This is a Phase 2 study that compares BCD-236 plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in patients whose cancer has returned or progressed after earlier therapies. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups one receiving BCD-236 by intravenous infusion plus chemotherapy chosen by the investigator, and the other receiving chemotherapy alone. Treatment continues until the cancer worsens, side effects become intolerable, or the study ends. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including tumor measurements and health evaluations to monitor response and side effects. The main outcome measured is the overall response rate at 24 weeks, with secondary outcomes including progression-free survival, overall survival, disease control rate, time to response, and duration of response assessed at various times up to 102 weeks. Participants will be monitored closely throughout their treatment and follow-up periods.

Researchers are conducting an observational multicenter cross-sectional study involving 5,000 adult patients in Russia with uncontrolled severe asthma SA who are receiving standard care treatments except biologics. The study aims to describe the characteristics of these patients across about 50 outpatient centers in 50 regions of Russia, addressing the lack of unified data on severe asthma epidemiology, complications, comorbidities, and treatment patterns in the country. Participants will have a single study visit where demographic and clinical data will be collected without any additional interventions or changes to their routine care. The study will gather information on treatment patterns, including the use of oral corticosteroids and various medication classes, and analyze clinical and demographic features such as age at diagnosis, gender distribution, body mass index, lifestyle factors, and presence of comorbidities. During the study, researchers will review medical records and follow-up data from the prior 52 weeks to assess treatment changes, exacerbations, healthcare resource use, and lung function parameters. No extra diagnostic or therapeutic procedures will be performed beyond standard practice. The study will run from June 2024 to June 2027, aiming to provide detailed epidemiological insights into uncontrolled severe asthma in the Russian adult population.

Researchers are evaluating Raphamin in adults aged 18 to 64 years who have acute bronchitis symptoms lasting less than 72 hours. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial aims to determine if Raphamin can speed up symptom resolution, reduce disease severity, and prevent complications requiring antibiotics compared to placebo. The study includes both men and women during the seasonal period of acute respiratory viral infections. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either Raphamin or a placebo following a specific oral dosing schedule for 5 days. On the first day, participants take 8 tablets of Raphamin or placebo one tablet every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours total of 5 tablets, then one tablet three times spaced evenly throughout the day. From day 2 onwards, one tablet is taken three times daily. The study uses an electronic patient diary to record daily symptoms, and face-to-face visits are scheduled on days 1, 4, and 7, with a phone visit on day 14. Throughout the study, participants undergo physical exams, vital sign monitoring, pulse oximetry, and laboratory tests including blood counts and PCR for respiratory viruses. Symptom severity is assessed by the Bronchitis Severity Scale and the Integrative Medicine Outcome Scale. Quality of life is evaluated using the EQ-5D instrument. Safety is monitored through recording adverse events and any use of antibacterial medications or hospitalizations. The total duration of participation includes treatment and follow-up over 14 days.

Researchers are studying uncontrolled asthma in adults across Russia to better understand its characteristics and treatment patterns. This large-scale observational registry will include 9,000 patients from 70 outpatient centers in about 50 regions, focusing on those not receiving biologic therapy. The study aims to describe demographic and clinical features, capture complications and comorbidities, and evaluate routine therapies used in real practice. The study has an ambispective design with two main visits. At the first visit, physicians will collect baseline data from the past 52 weeks using medical records and patient interviews. The second visit, conducted 12 weeks later, will gather follow-up information on treatment changes and clinical outcomes. A subgroup of 500 patients using fixed-dose combination budesonidesalbutamol will have an additional third visit 12 weeks after the second to collect further data. Participants will undergo routine clinical assessments during 2 to 3 visits following standard practice. Researchers will examine demographic and clinical data, blood and sputum eosinophil counts, total IgE levels, asthma control status, lung function tests, exacerbation rates, and healthcare resource use. Safety monitoring aligns with routine care, and the study does not involve any experimental treatments or procedures. Total participation spans approximately 24 weeks for those in the extended follow-up group.
