Bipolar disorder is a serious and long-lasting mood disorder affecting both adults and children, with up to 1.8% of the pediatric population in the United States affected. Treatment options for depressive episodes in children with bipolar disorder are limited due to fewer studies compared to adults. This research aims to evaluate how cariprazine affects disease symptoms and safety in children and teenagers aged 10 to 17 years who have bipolar I disorder with depressive episodes. Participants in the study will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one receiving cariprazine and the other receiving a placebo, with about half of the participants in each group. Cariprazine will be given as oral capsules in doses adjusted based on age and weight. At the third week, doses may be increased for those not responding well, while others will continue their current dose. The treatment lasts 6 weeks, followed by a 4-week safety follow-up period. During the study, participants will attend weekly visits to hospitals or clinics for medical assessments, blood tests, and questionnaires to monitor side effects and treatment effects. Researchers will measure changes in depression scores and monitor for any adverse events or abnormal clinical signs, including vital signs, ECG, and movement disorders. The total study duration includes the treatment and safety follow-up periods, ensuring careful observation of participants' health and response to treatment.

Researchers are conducting an observational multicenter cross-sectional study to better understand the characteristics of adults with uncontrolled severe asthma in Russia who are not receiving biological therapy. The study aims to collect detailed information on the epidemiology, clinical features, treatment patterns, and demographics of these patients across different regions of the Russian Federation, which vary widely in population composition and environmental factors. The study will help fill the gap in data about severe asthma in Russia, especially in patients treated according to standard care but excluding biologics. The study plans to include 5,000 adult patients from about 50 outpatient centers across 50 regions of Russia. It will collect routine clinical data without altering standard medical care or introducing any new diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. The study design includes one visit per patient to gather demographic, clinical, and treatment information, focusing on patients with uncontrolled severe asthma receiving standard treatments like inhaled corticosteroids with other medications but not biological agents. Participants will provide data through medical records and assessments such as the Asthma Control Questionnaire. Researchers will analyze patterns of drug use, clinical characteristics including comorbidities, blood counts, immunoglobulin levels, and lifestyle factors. The study will characterize patients' demographics, treatment trends, and asthma control status from June 2024 to June 2027. Safety monitoring is observational, with no intervention beyond routine care, and the total participation involves a single study visit.

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 efficacy and safety of cariprazine in treating adolescents aged 13 to 17 years with schizophrenia. This Phase 3 study compares cariprazine to a placebo to understand its effects on this population. Participants must have a confirmed diagnosis of schizophrenia based on DSM-5 criteria and meet specific symptom severity requirements. Participants receive either cariprazine or matching placebo capsules once daily by mouth for 6 weeks in a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group design. The study is conducted across multiple international centers to ensure diverse participation and data collection. Throughout the 6-week study, researchers assess changes in schizophrenia symptoms using the PANSS total score from baseline to Week 6. Safety and tolerability are also monitored closely. Participants will undergo clinical evaluations and symptom scoring to track progress and response to treatment during the study period.

Researchers are evaluating the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, long-term efficacy, and safety of olokizumab in children and adolescents aged over 2 and under 18 years with polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis. This open-label, multicenter Phase 2 study aims to better understand how olokizumab behaves in the body and its effects in this young patient population. Participants receive subcutaneous injections of olokizumab every 4 weeks, with doses adjusted by weight (either 64 mg or 48 mg). The study includes a screening period of up to 2 weeks, followed by 24 weeks of open-label treatment, then an extended open-label treatment period lasting up to 140 weeks, and finally a safety follow-up period of 22 weeks. The total study duration for participants is approximately 188 weeks. During the study, up to 50 patients will be closely monitored through scheduled visits and assessments. Researchers will measure olokizumab concentration levels in the blood, track clinical outcomes, and evaluate safety throughout the treatment and follow-up periods. They will also assess disease activity, laboratory tests, and adverse events to gather comprehensive data on the medication's performance and participant health over time.

Researchers are evaluating the rate of chronic kidney disease (CKD) diagnosis in adults with arterial hypertension (AH) who have laboratory markers indicating possible CKD but no prior recorded CKD diagnosis. The study focuses on patients without diabetes mellitus or symptomatic chronic heart failure and aims to better understand CKD prevalence in this specific population in Russia. This multi-center, non-interventional, observational study includes both prospective and retrospective data analysis involving about 10,000 adult outpatients from approximately 50 outpatient sites across 20 regions of Russia. The study will not involve any new diagnostic or treatment procedures beyond routine clinical practice. Retrospective data will be collected from medical records to identify CKD markers measured within 12 months before study inclusion. Patients with adequate retrospective data may have CKD diagnosis confirmed based on two evaluations at least 3 months apart. Those without sufficient retrospective data will undergo laboratory testing during the prospective study period, which will last up to 18 months or until data from 10,000 patients are collected. Participants will be monitored and treated by cardiologists or internal medicine specialists during routine visits. Researchers will collect demographic and clinical information, including medical history and CKD markers, from both retrospective and prospective records. The main outcome is the rate of new CKD diagnoses over the 18-month follow-up. No additional interventions or procedures beyond usual care will be performed, and the study aims to support earlier CKD detection and improved clinical outcomes in patients with hypertension.

The trial investigates the long-term safety and effectiveness of RPH-104 in adult patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) who have resistance or intolerance to colchicine treatment. These patients have previously participated in a core study where they received at least one dose of RPH-104. This is a Phase 2 open-label extension study designed to continue evaluating these patients over an extended period. Participants will receive RPH-104 subcutaneously at doses of either 80 mg or 160 mg every two weeks, based on their dose in the core study. The treatment period lasts for 198 weeks, during which drug administration is performed by qualified medical staff at the study site or by the patients themselves at home after proper training. Safety and efficacy assessments occur regularly, starting from screening, with visits scheduled every 2 to 12 weeks. If a patient on 80 mg experiences an FMF attack, their dose may be increased to 160 mg. After completing the treatment period, participants enter an 8-week safety follow-up with two additional visits. Throughout the study, participants will undergo regular safety and efficacy evaluations including clinical visits, telephone contacts, and monitoring for adverse events up to 62 weeks. The main outcomes being measured are the incidence and rate of treatment-emergent adverse events, serious adverse events, and adverse events of special interest. The study concludes with a final visit after the safety follow-up period, marking the end of participation.

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.

Researchers are studying the presence and types of other health conditions in patients having abdominal surgery to better understand and categorize the risk of complications after surgery. The goal is to identify which existing diseases independently predict such risks, as this knowledge is important for informed consent and planning preventive care. The study focuses on adults with certain physical health statuses undergoing planned operations, noting that while anesthesia risks have decreased, complications remain a significant concern worldwide. The study collects detailed information before surgery about patient age, gender, physical status (ASA classification), various chronic diseases like heart, lung, kidney, neurological disorders, and diabetes, as well as treatments the patient is receiving. It also records the type and severity of different abdominal surgeries and anesthesia methods used. Data is gathered uniformly from multiple centers and entered into an electronic database. The study includes patients operated on within defined days and monitors them until hospital discharge. Participants will have their health and surgical data collected and tracked, including cognitive function, respiratory and cardiac risk scales, and kidney and liver function. Postoperative complications occurring within 7 days of surgery are the main outcomes measured. The study plans to enroll a large number of patients to develop reliable risk prediction models, with ongoing data analysis using statistical methods to identify significant predictors. Results will be validated with additional patient groups to improve accuracy and clinical usefulness.
