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 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 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 evaluating the safety and effectiveness of Indinol Forto 200 mg capsules compared to Visanne 2 mg tablets for treating endometriosis in females aged 18 to 45. This phase 3, open-label, randomized study is designed to test whether Indinol Forto is not less effective than Visanne. Participants have endometriosis confirmed by surgery within the past 60 months and experience moderate pelvic pain. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups one group will take Indinol Forto capsules twice daily, and the other group will take Visanne tablets once daily, both for 24 weeks. Before treatment starts, there is a screening menstrual cycle to confirm eligibility. After completing the 24-week treatment period, participants will be observed for an additional month during a post-treatment follow-up. During the study, participants will daily record pelvic pain using a Visual Analog Scale, noting both cyclic and non-cyclic pain and vaginal bleeding intensity. Researchers will assess changes in average daily pelvic pain after 24 weeks of treatment compared to the screening period. Additional evaluations include quality of life, endometriosis symptoms, menstruation patterns, and lesion size. Safety and symptom changes will be monitored throughout the study and post-treatment period.

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.

Researchers are evaluating the potential effects of repeated use of gadolinium-based contrast agents GBCAs on body movement and mental skills in adults aged 18 to 65 who are neurologically normal. This study is a postmarketing requirement conducted by several pharmaceutical companies and a contract research organization. It aims to compare motor and cognitive functions over five years between participants exposed to GBCAs during their routine medical imaging and those who are not exposed to these contrast agents. Participants fall into three groups those receiving linear GBCAs, those receiving macrocyclic GBCAs, and a control group not exposed to any GBCAs. Each participant in the GBCA groups is scheduled for at least five enhanced MRI scans using the same agent annually over five years. The control group undergoes clinically indicated imaging without GBCA exposure. All participants will have motor and cognitive tests yearly, blood and urine samples collected for gadolinium levels, and unenhanced brain MRI scans at the start and end of the study. During the study, participants will visit their doctor at least seven times over five years for physical exams, laboratory tests, and assessments of motor and cognitive functions. Researchers will measure changes in motor and cognitive abilities from baseline to year five, along with yearly evaluations. Safety will be monitored through adverse event reporting and gadolinium concentration measurements. The total study duration for each participant is five years, including annual imaging and clinical assessments.
