This research aims to gather long-term safety and effectiveness information for people treated with ibrutinib, a medicine taken by mouth that blocks a specific enzyme called brutons tyrosine kinase. The study focuses on participants who previously took part in ibrutinib studies that have finished and are still receiving ibrutinib treatment, continuing to benefit from it. It is an open-label study, meaning both participants and researchers know the treatment being given. Participants will continue taking ibrutinib capsules daily at the dose they were given in their prior study until the doctor decides the treatment is no longer helpful due to disease progression or side effects, the participant chooses to stop, other treatment options become available, or the study ends. Safety will be monitored throughout, and effectiveness data may be combined with previous study results. No formal testing of hypotheses is planned in this extension. During the study, participants will be regularly monitored for safety and disease status. The main outcome is the number of participants experiencing side effects within 30 days after the last ibrutinib dose or before starting another cancer therapy. Participants may continue treatment until alternative access to ibrutinib is arranged or the study ends, which is planned for December 2029. Researchers will collect ongoing data to understand the long-term effects of ibrutinib treatment.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of a new bevacizumab drug made by Mabscale, LLC, compared to Avastin, both combined with paclitaxel and carboplatin, for treating adults with advanced or inoperable non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC. This phase III trial aims to show that the new bevacizumab works as well and is as safe as Avastin. The study also looks at how the drug is processed in the body. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives the Mabscale bevacizumab with paclitaxel and carboplatin, and the other gets Avastin with the same chemotherapy drugs. Treatment cycles last about three weeks, with up to six cycles initially. After that, eligible patients continue with bevacizumab alone every three weeks. The study is double-blind, so neither patients nor researchers know who receives which bevacizumab. During the study, patients will undergo regular assessments including tumor measurements and blood tests. Researchers measure the tumor response at 18 weeks and track progression-free and overall survival at 18 and 42 weeks. The duration of response is also evaluated up to 48 weeks. Safety and side effects are closely monitored throughout the trial, which started in 2023 and will continue until 2027. Participants are followed closely to assess the treatments impact and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of BCD-248 combined with daratumumab compared to a combination of daratumumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone for treating adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. This study focuses on participants aged 18 and older who have measurable multiple myeloma and have received previous treatments including a proteasome inhibitor and lenalidomide, specifically those who are refractory to lenalidomide or have had disease progression after prior therapies. Participants will receive either BCD-248 administered under the skin with daratumumab given intravenously, or the combination of daratumumab intravenously with pomalidomide and dexamethasone taken orally. The study is randomized without masking, comparing these two treatment groups in parallel. The intervention period includes monitoring for up to 36 months to assess disease progression and response, with additional long-term evaluations lasting up to 5 years. During the trial, participants will undergo assessments including measuring minimal residual disease using flow cytometry at 12 months, and monitoring progression-free survival per established criteria. Other evaluations include response rates, survival, immune markers, and adverse events over several years. Safety and treatment effects will be closely followed with regular clinical visits and laboratory tests throughout the study duration, which extends until October 2032.

Researchers are evaluating etelcalcetide in children with secondary hyperparathyroidism SHPT who also have chronic kidney disease CKD and are receiving hemodialysis. SHPT is a serious condition that develops early in CKD and can cause bone and growth problems as well as increased cardiovascular risks in children on dialysis. This phase 3 trial aims to provide important safety and efficacy data for etelcalcetide in pediatric patients aged 28 days to under 18 years, addressing the limitations of current treatments like vitamin D sterols. Participants are randomly assigned in a 51 ratio to receive either etelcalcetide along with standard care or standard care alone. The standard care may include treatments such as vitamin D sterols, calcium supplements, or phosphate binders. The study involves multiple doses of etelcalcetide, with assessments conducted over weeks to monitor its effects on parathyroid hormone levels and mineral balance. During the study, participants will undergo regular evaluations including blood tests to measure intact parathyroid hormone, calcium, and phosphorus levels. Researchers will also monitor safety by tracking adverse events and changes in vital signs, growth, and development stages. The primary outcome focuses on the percentage of participants achieving a significant reduction in hormone levels over weeks 20 to 27. The trial includes careful monitoring throughout treatment and up to approximately 30 weeks after the last dose.

Researchers are evaluating the use of acetazolamide in patients with decompensated chronic heart failure CHF, a condition where the heart struggles with contraction and relaxation leading to symptoms like shortness of breath, swelling, and fatigue. CHF often results from high blood pressure or coronary artery disease, and about half of patients have a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. This trial aims to study whether adding acetazolamide to standard diuretic therapy can reduce congestion and improve patient outcomes during acute heart failure worsening. Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive acetazolamide at a dose of 250 mg three times daily along with standard heart failure medications, or to receive standard therapy alone. The study focuses on the hospital stage of decompensation treatment, evaluating the effect of acetazolamide on reducing fluid retention and edema compared to usual care. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for changes in decompensation over three days, urine output, weight loss, natriuresis, hospital and ICU stay duration, and survival up to 90 days. Clinical assessments will include symptom scoring and a 6-minute walk test. The trial includes follow-up assessments up to 90 days after treatment to evaluate longer-term outcomes and safety.

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. The trial is sponsored by Novartis Pharmaceuticals and focuses on continued treatment after the completion of the parent study. 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 efficacy and safety of BCD-248 as a treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, a condition where the disease has returned or is resistant to previous therapies. This open-label phase 2 clinical study aims to assess the overall response rate and other important outcomes in this patient population. The study is sponsored by Biocad and focuses on patients who have received multiple prior treatments including proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs, and anti-CD38 therapy. Participants will receive BCD-248 administered subcutaneously. The study monitors various outcomes including overall response rate up to 24 weeks and progression-free survival up to 104 weeks, among others, over a total duration extending to about 3.7 years for some measures. Pharmacokinetic parameters like Cmax, Cmin, AUC0-t, and Ctrough will be tracked shortly after administration and up to 6 months. Additional assessments include measurement of soluble BCMA levels and the presence of binding and neutralizing antibodies. During the study, participants will undergo regular evaluations including disease assessments based on International Myeloma Working Group criteria, safety monitoring for adverse events, and laboratory tests. Long-term follow-up will include evaluation of response duration, time to response and progression, and overall survival. The study started in December 2024 and is expected to continue until July 2028, providing extended observation for participant outcomes and safety.

Researchers are evaluating sodium zirconium cyclosilicate SZC to treat hyperkalaemia in children under 18 years old. This Phase 3, international, open-label study aims to assess the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of SZC. The study enrolls about 140 children from multiple countries, starting with age groups 6 to under 12 years and 12 to under 18 years. Later, younger age groups may be included based on data reviews. The goal is to see how well SZC controls potassium levels in children with this condition. The study includes three treatment phases Correction Phase CP, Maintenance Phase MP, and Long-Term Maintenance Phase LTMP. In the CP, participants receive fixed doses of SZC orally three times daily for up to 3 days until potassium levels normalize. Doses are adjusted based on body weight and age groups, with possible dose increases after safety reviews. Those who achieve normal potassium enter the 28-day MP with once daily SZC, where doses can be adjusted to maintain potassium levels. Participants may continue in the LTMP using the same dosing approach with monthly visits. Participants undergo regular monitoring including blood tests, urine tests, and ECGs to assess potassium levels, electrolytes, and heart rhythm. Researchers track safety, tolerability, potassium control, and other biochemical changes throughout the phases. The study lasts about 28 weeks, including treatment and a safety follow-up visit one week after the last dose. Data collected will help evaluate SZCs role in managing hyperkalaemia in children.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, effectiveness, and pharmacodynamics of a single dose of ANB-002, a gene therapy, in adult men with hemophilia B who have low factor IX FIX activity and no FIX inhibitor. The study aims to show that ANB-002 is not less effective than standard preventive treatment using FIX concentrates. This is an open-label, phase 3 trial sponsored by Biocad. Participants first undergo a non-interventional lead-in period lasting at least six months during which they receive standard FIX preventive treatment. After this, they enter the main interventional period where they receive a single infusion of ANB-002. This main period lasts 18 months, followed by a follow-up period of up to five years after the ANB-002 infusion. During the study, researchers will monitor participants bleeding rates before and after treatment, FIX activity levels, and FIX concentrate use. They will also assess the proportion of subjects not needing FIX prevention, and track various bleeding events including spontaneous bleedings and hemarthrosis. Safety and treatment effects will be evaluated over the long-term follow-up, with study participation lasting up to five years after treatment.

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.
