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.

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 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.

Researchers are evaluating the immune response, side effects, and safety of a vaccine called GNG-DE compared to a reference vaccine for preventing meningococcal infections. This phase 3 trial is conducted by NPO Petrovax and involves healthy volunteers aged 3 to 55 years. The study is divided into three stages to include adults, adolescents, and children sequentially, with each stage beginning after safety review of the previous stage. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups to receive either GNG-DE or the reference vaccine Menactra, both given as 0.5 mL injections into the muscle of the upper arm. The study starts with adults aged 18 to 55 years, then moves to adolescents aged 11 to 17 years, and finally to children aged 3 to 10 years. Each group includes 80 participants, and the dosing and administration are consistent across all age groups. Throughout the study, volunteers undergo screening before enrollment and attend scheduled visits for safety and immune response assessments. The main outcome measured is the primary immune response 29 days after vaccination. Additional immune markers and safety data are also collected. Participants will be monitored closely to track any reactions or side effects, with all procedures conducted under medical supervision until the study ends in late 2025.

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 conducting a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial to study children aged 3 to 12 years with acute respiratory viral infection ARVI. This trial aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Raphamin in treating ARVI symptoms during the seasonal incidence of the illness. Enrollment starts with children aged 6 to 12 years and may expand to include those aged 3 to 12 years based on interim safety and efficacy results. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Raphamin or a placebo. Raphamin is given orally as tablets that dissolve in the mouth, with a specific dosing schedule over five days eight tablets on the first day taken at intervals, then one tablet three times daily on days two through five. The placebo group follows the same dosing regimen using placebo tablets. The treatment period lasts five days, followed by monitoring and follow-up visits. During the study, parents or caregivers will record their childs symptoms and body temperature twice daily in an electronic diary, including any use of fever-reducing medications and changes in health. Children will have several visits with healthcare providers on days 1, 5, and 7, plus a phone visit on day 14 for safety and symptom assessment. Laboratory tests and physical exams will be conducted to monitor progress and safety. The primary outcome is the time until ARVI symptoms resolve within 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.
