Researchers are conducting a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial to study children aged 3 to 12 years with acute respiratory viral infection (ARVI) symptoms within 24 hours of onset. The trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Raphamin compared to a placebo in treating ARVI. Enrollment will begin with children aged 6 to 12 years, followed by an interim analysis to decide whether to include younger children aged 3 to 5 years. Patients will be outpatients of either gender during seasonal ARVI incidence. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Raphamin tablets or placebo tablets for 5 days. Treatment groups follow the same dosage regimen. Before starting therapy, nasopharyngeal swabs will confirm viral infection through PCR testing. Throughout the trial, an electronic patient diary will be used to record temperature, symptoms, antipyretic use, and any worsening condition. The study includes screening, randomization, treatment, and follow-up periods lasting a total of 14 days. During the study, patients will attend three visits on days 1, 5, and 7, either at a health center or home, plus a phone visit on day 14. At visits, physicians will assess symptom severity, perform examinations, monitor diary completion, and conduct lab tests. The main outcome measured is the time needed for ARVI symptoms to resolve within 14 days. Safety and compliance will be closely monitored, and symptomatic or concomitant therapies are allowed except for prohibited drugs.

Researchers are conducting a large, non-interventional observational study to better understand adults with uncontrolled asthma across Russia. This study aims to gather detailed information on the demographic and clinical characteristics of these patients, the treatments they receive, and how their condition is managed in routine clinical practice. The study focuses on patients not treated with biologics and covers a diverse population from about 50 regions in Russia, reflecting differences in ethnicity, climate, and economic status. The study will include 9,000 adult patients with uncontrolled mild to moderate asthma who are receiving standard care. Data will be collected during 2-3 visits that follow routine clinical practice schedules. At the first visit, information from the previous 52 weeks will be gathered from medical records and patient interviews. The second visit will take place about 12 weeks later to collect follow-up data on treatment changes and clinical outcomes. For a subgroup of 500 patients using a fixed-dose combination of budesonide/salbutamol at the second visit, an additional third visit will occur 12 weeks later to further monitor treatment and outcomes. Participants will be monitored through medical record reviews and interviews during these visits. Researchers will assess baseline characteristics such as blood eosinophil counts, sputum eosinophils, and total IgE levels, along with treatment profiles and clinical outcomes. The study does not involve any experimental interventions beyond standard care and aims to provide comprehensive real-world data on uncontrolled asthma management in Russia. The total study duration for participants includes up to 24 weeks of follow-up for some patients.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety and effectiveness of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in participants with advanced solid tumors or blood cancers who have previously taken part in other pembrolizumab-based studies. This phase 3 study includes participants who are either currently on treatment or in follow-up from prior parent studies. It aims to understand how well pembrolizumab works over an extended period, up to approximately 10 years, by observing overall survival and safety outcomes. The study has three phases: First Course Phase, Survival Follow-up Phase, and Second Course Phase. Participants who were receiving pembrolizumab, pembrolizumab-based combinations, or lenvatinib in their parent studies will continue treatment in the First Course Phase, completing up to 35 doses every 3 weeks or 17 doses every 6 weeks. Those in the Follow-up Phase will enter the Survival Follow-up Phase without additional treatment but will be monitored. Participants eligible for a Second Course Phase, who have not received other anticancer treatments since their prior pembrolizumab dose and meet health criteria, may receive up to 17 doses every 3 weeks or 8 doses every 6 weeks of pembrolizumab or its combinations. Some may also receive other study drugs such as olaparib, MK-4280, MK-4280A, or pembrolizumab with berahyaluronidase alfa. Participants will be involved in regular treatment visits, safety checks, and long-term monitoring for up to about 10 years to assess overall survival. Researchers will evaluate clinical outcomes, monitor any side effects, and check organ function and physical health status. The study includes detailed eligibility screening, including physical assessments and adherence to contraception requirements for women of childbearing potential. Safety follow-up is ongoing to ensure participant well-being throughout the study.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of adjuvant ribociclib combined with hormone therapy (aromatase inhibitors with or without GnRH agonists) in patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative stage II-III breast cancer in Russia. The study includes both a prospective cohort receiving ribociclib plus hormone therapy and a retrospective cohort treated with hormone therapy alone. The goal is to assess treatment outcomes in different patient subgroups defined by tumor grade, lymph node involvement, and hormone therapy response. Participants in the prospective group receive ribociclib alongside aromatase inhibitors, with or without GnRH agonists, as part of their adjuvant therapy. The retrospective group includes patients treated with aromatase inhibitors alone during a specific period from July 2019 to July 2020. The study collects new data from the prospective group while also analyzing existing patient records from the retrospective group. Throughout the study, researchers monitor invasive breast cancer-free survival at 36, 48, and 60 months following treatment according to standardized criteria. Patient information is gathered from clinical records, including hormone therapy start dates and treatment responses. Safety and effectiveness are assessed by tracking outcomes over several years to better understand ribociclib's role in routine clinical practice for this type of breast cancer.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of Raphamin in treating adults aged 18 to 75 years with acute rhinosinusitis, a condition characterized by symptoms such as facial pain and nasal congestion. This multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial enrolls patients within 48 hours of symptom onset during the seasonal peak of acute respiratory viral infections. The study uses the Major Symptom Score (MSS) and Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) to assess symptom severity and quality of life. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either oral Raphamin or a placebo following the same dosing schedule for five days. The trial includes a screening and randomization period of up to one day, a five-day treatment phase, and a follow-up period lasting up to 14 days. Patients attend three in-person visits on days 1, 4, and 7, with an additional phone visit on day 14. During these visits, symptom assessments, physical examinations, and diary reviews are conducted to monitor treatment adherence and safety. Patients keep an electronic diary twice daily to record body temperature and symptom changes according to the MSS. Investigators evaluate symptom progression, adherence, safety, and any complications including the use of antibiotics or hospitalizations. The primary outcome is the percentage of patients showing improvement in acute rhinosinusitis symptoms by day 4. Symptomatic and concomitant disease therapies are allowed except for prohibited medications. Overall, participants are observed for up to 14 days to assess treatment impact and safety.
