Researchers are evaluating orforglipron to measure its effects on cardiovascular outcomes in adults aged 50 and older who have atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ASCVD andor chronic kidney disease CKD. This phase 3 study aims to compare orforglipron with a placebo to better understand its impact on major cardiovascular events over about five years. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either orforglipron orally along with standard care or a placebo orally along with standard care. The study is double-blinded, meaning neither participants nor researchers will know who receives the active drug or placebo during the trial period. During the study, participants will be followed for around five years, with researchers monitoring the time to the first major cardiovascular event and additional outcomes such as cardiovascular and kidney events, changes in kidney function measured by eGFR, and the onset of type 2 diabetes. The study includes regular assessments to track these outcomes and ensure participant safety throughout the long-term follow-up.

Researchers are evaluating the combined use of vicadrostat and empagliflozin in adults with chronic heart failure who have a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction LVEF below 40%. Participants must have had chronic heart failure diagnosed at least three months before starting the study. The trial aims to find out if this combination helps people with symptomatic heart failure classified as New York Heart Association classes II to IV. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups, with an equal chance of receiving either vicadrostat plus empagliflozin tablets or placebo plus empagliflozin tablets. The study medicines are taken once daily for approximately six months up to about 3.5 years. During this time, participants may continue their usual heart failure treatments, excluding certain medications. The trial includes a double-blind design, meaning neither participants nor study staff know who receives the active drug or placebo. Throughout the study, participants visit the study site regularly, with the number of visits depending on how long they stay enrolled. Some visits may occur by phone. They answer questions about their well-being, and doctors monitor health status, record any heart failure worsening, hospitalizations, or deaths. The main outcome is the time until cardiovascular death, heart failure hospitalization, or urgent heart failure visit, which is compared between groups. Safety and side effects are also closely followed during the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of vicadrostat combined with empagliflozin in adults who have type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease but no history of heart failure. The study aims to assess whether this combination can help reduce cardiovascular risks compared to a placebo with empagliflozin. This Phase III trial involves adults with these conditions who are already receiving treatment for them. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group takes vicadrostat and empagliflozin tablets daily, while the other group takes placebo tablets that look like vicadrostat but have no active medicine, alongside empagliflozin. Treatment lasts from two and a half years up to four years and three months. All participants continue their usual medications for diabetes, blood pressure, and heart disease during the study. Throughout the study, lasting up to four years and three months, participants visit the study site regularly for health checks and blood samples. Doctors monitor cardiovascular events and any side effects experienced. The main outcome measured is the time until the first cardiovascular death or heart failure event. Other health indicators like blood pressure and kidney function are also tracked to understand the effects of the treatment combination.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of LY4268989 compared to a placebo in adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis UC. The study focuses on participants with a diagnosis of UC for at least 3 months, confirmed by specific clinical and endoscopic criteria. This Phase 2 trial aims to better understand how LY4268989 may impact clinical remission and response in this patient group over a long-term period. Participants will receive either one of two doses of LY4268989 or a placebo, all administered orally. The study is randomized and double-blind, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives the active drug or placebo. The treatment period lasts up to approximately 108 weeks, excluding the screening phase, allowing for assessment of the drug over an extended time. During the study, participants will undergo regular evaluations including clinical assessments using the Modified Mayo Score to measure remission and response at multiple time points, including weeks 10 and 52. Researchers will also monitor symptomatic response and measure plasma concentrations of LY4268989. Safety and effectiveness will be tracked through these clinical and laboratory tests to understand the drugs impact on UC over the study duration.

This research aims to compare two asthma inhalers that use different propellants in people with mild to moderate asthma. The study evaluates whether an investigational inhaler with a new climate-friendly propellant, HFA-152a, works as safely and effectively as inhalers using the existing HFA-134a propellant. This global Phase II study plans to enroll 468 patients in Europe, Latin America, Ukraine, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. Participants will use one of three inhaler treatments in a randomized, double-blind crossover design the investigational CHF5993 pMDI with HFA-152a, CHF5993 pMDI with HFA-134a, or CHF718 pMDI with HFA-134a. Each inhaler is taken as two puffs twice daily. The study compares lung function effects of these inhalers during treatment periods. During the trial, participants will be assessed for lung function through measurements like forced expiratory volume in 1 second FEV1 at baseline and after treatment. Researchers will monitor safety, treatment adherence, and asthma control over the study period. Participants undergo scheduled visits for these evaluations, with the study expected to complete in June 2027.
