Bipolar disorder is a serious, long-lasting mood condition affecting both adults and children. This research focuses on studying the effects and safety of cariprazine, a medication approved for adults, in treating depressive episodes linked to bipolar I disorder in children and adolescents aged 10 to 17. The study aims to better understand how this drug impacts the pediatric population, where treatment options are currently limited. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups one receiving cariprazine at flexible doses adjusted by age and weight, and the other receiving a placebo. The treatment lasts six weeks, with dose adjustments at week 3 depending on response. Following treatment, there is a four-week safety follow-up period. Weekly visits at clinics or hospitals will support monitoring and treatment. During the study, participants will undergo medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires, and side effect checks to evaluate the drugs impact. Researchers will track changes in mood symptoms using scales like the Childrens Depression Rating Scale and monitor safety through vital signs, lab tests, and movement assessments. The total study participation spans around 10 weeks, including treatment and follow-up.

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.

This observational study focuses on adult patients diagnosed with neurofibromatosis type 1 NF1 in Russia. It aims to evaluate clinical characteristics and patient-reported outcomes in routine care settings to better understand the disease manifestations, associated symptoms, and complications in this population. The study is non-interventional and involves collecting data during regular healthcare visits without altering patient treatment. Participants are adults aged 18 years or older with a confirmed diagnosis of NF1 and plexiform neurofibromas PN identified by clinical assessment or imaging methods such as MRI or ultrasound. Patients must have PN-associated symptoms and be either newly diagnosed or nave to MEK-inhibitor therapy. The study does not involve experimental treatments but follows patients receiving standard care to gather clinical and demographic information. During the study, participants undergo evaluations at routine visits where data such as age at NF1 diagnosis, body measurements, symptoms, complications, and disability degree are collected. Imaging results, hospitalizations related to NF1, and medical histories are reviewed. Researchers monitor changes in disability and symptom persistence over time. The study includes assessments of PN volume by MRI and various patient characteristics to understand disease impact and progression. Participation duration aligns with routine care without additional interventions.

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 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.

Researchers are evaluating clinical outcomes for patients who begin inclisiran treatment within about two weeks after experiencing a heart attack STEMI or non-STEMI. This observational study focuses on patients in Russia and aims to understand the effects of inclisiran on lipid profiles, safety, atherosclerotic plaque status using carotid ultrasound, and the rates of hospitalizations and intensive follow-up over a 12-month period. Participants receive their first inclisiran injection approximately 14 days after their heart attack. The study observes changes in lipid levels at baseline, 3, 9, and 12 months, as well as plaque progression or regression over the year. Researchers also monitor adverse events, therapy discontinuation, hospital readmissions, emergency care visits, and the timing of dispensary observation. During the 12 months of participation, patients undergo lipid profile testing, carotid ultrasound scans, and safety evaluations at specified intervals. The main measure is the number of patients experiencing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events within a year after starting inclisiran in addition to their usual therapy. Secondary assessments include LDL cholesterol levels, plaque changes, adverse events, rehospitalizations, and use of emergency services, all tracked to evaluate the therapys impact and safety in real-world settings.

Researchers are conducting a national multicenter observational study to develop a Russian national calculator for predicting the risk of postoperative complications and mortality. The study focuses on adult patients undergoing elective and emergency surgeries in various surgical fields including obstetrics, gynecology, urology, orthopedics, and more. The aim is to identify risk factors that lead to unfavorable postoperative outcomes and to create a comprehensive database for better understanding and prediction of surgical risks. The study includes two cohorts Cohort A will assess the incidence of primary outcomes such as 30-day mortality and complications, and Cohort B will identify risk factors and develop a risk calculator validated across different surgical specialties. Data collection involves filling out basic and additional checklists quarterly across centers to capture detailed surgical and postoperative information. The study period spans from 2024 to 2028 with monitoring of outcomes up to one year after surgery. Participants will be followed for various outcomes including 30-day and 90-day mortality and complications, length of stay in intensive care and hospital, multiple organ failure, ICU syndrome, readmission rates, and one-year mortality. Researchers will analyze long-term results and the influence of factors such as anesthesia type, urgency of surgery, age, comorbidities, and oncological conditions. The study is organized by the Russian Federation of Anesthesiologists and Reanimatologists and aims to improve postoperative care through validated risk assessment tools integrated into a national calculator.

Researchers are investigating the use of a recombinant non-immunogenic staphylokinase Fortelyzin in patients who have experienced an acute ischemic stroke between 4.5 and 24 hours after symptom onset. This phase III, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this drug in restoring blood flow in patients with large vessel occlusion stroke who arrive outside the standard 4.5-hour treatment window. The study focuses on patients with salvageable brain tissue identified by advanced imaging techniques. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either a single intravenous bolus injection of 10 mg non-immunogenic staphylokinase or a placebo administered rapidly within 5 to 10 seconds regardless of body weight. The trial excludes patients planned for direct thrombectomy. Following treatment, patients will be monitored for up to 90 days to assess outcomes. The trial evaluates functional recovery and reperfusion improvements compared to placebo. Throughout the study, participants will undergo imaging assessments such as CT or MRI perfusion scans to confirm eligibility and monitor brain tissue status. Researchers will evaluate functional outcomes using established stroke scales over 90 days, including the modified Rankin Scale and NIH Stroke Scale. Safety, mortality, and reperfusion rates will also be tracked. Participants will have follow-up visits and assessments designed to measure recovery and treatment impact over the trial period.

Researchers are investigating how other existing health conditions affect the risk of complications after abdominal surgery. This observational study aims to understand the frequency and types of additional diseases among surgical patients and identify key factors that predict postoperative problems. The goal is to help better assess and manage risks for patients undergoing planned abdominal operations. The study collects information about patients age, gender, physical status by the ASA scale, presence of various diseases such as heart, lung, kidney, neurological, and metabolic conditions, and treatments they receive. It also records details about the type and severity of surgery, anesthesia methods, and uses various assessment scales related to cognition, respiratory and cardiovascular risk, liver and kidney function. Data is gathered before surgery and patients are monitored until hospital discharge. Participants provide informed consent and their data is entered into a secure database. Researchers evaluate factors influencing complications within 7 days after surgery, as well as mortality within 30 days. Statistical analysis includes regression models to identify independent risk predictors. The study involves multiple centers and follows patients throughout the hospital stay, aiming to improve understanding of postoperative risks and guide preventive strategies.
