Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of eloralintide compared to a placebo for reducing body weight in adults who have overweight or obesity along with type 2 diabetes. This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind study focuses on participants who have been on stable treatment for their type 2 diabetes and aims to provide detailed information on body weight changes over time. Participants will receive either eloralintide or a placebo administered by subcutaneous injection once weekly. The study lasts about 75 weeks, including treatment and follow-up periods. The goal is to monitor the changes in body weight from the beginning of the study through week 64. During the study, participants will undergo various assessments to track body weight and overall health. Researchers will collect data on weight changes and monitor safety throughout the study period. The main outcome measured is the percentage change in body weight from baseline to week 64, ensuring close observation of participants' responses to the treatment.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of nipocalimab, compared with a placebo, in lowering the risk of severe fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT). This condition involves a low platelet count in newborns caused by maternal antibodies, and the study focuses on pregnant women who have had previous pregnancies affected by FNAIT but without severe bleeding or brain hemorrhage. This is a Phase 3, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial targeting pregnant women at risk for this condition. Participants will receive either nipocalimab or a placebo intravenously during their current pregnancy. Nipocalimab is the drug being tested, and both the drug and placebo are given by intravenous infusion. The study enrolls women between 13 and 18 weeks of pregnancy and will monitor their pregnancies closely to assess the effects of the treatments on the fetus and newborn. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor the health of both the mothers and their babies. This includes physical exams, medical history reviews, vital signs, ECGs, and lab tests. The main outcome being measured is whether the fetus or newborn experiences death, severe bleeding, or a very low platelet count within one week after birth. Participants and their babies will be followed until the last visit to ensure safety and evaluate treatment impact, with the total involvement lasting through pregnancy and shortly after birth.

This research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of TAK-279 in people with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease, a long-term condition that causes inflammation anywhere in the gut. The study seeks to determine if three different doses of TAK-279 can reduce bowel inflammation and ulcers compared to a placebo after 12 weeks of treatment. Participants will be assessed using endoscopy to check the level of bowel inflammation. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: three different doses of TAK-279 or a placebo. They will receive the assigned treatment capsules for a total of 52 weeks (1 year). The study is double-blind, meaning neither the participants nor the doctors will know which treatment is given unless needed for urgent medical reasons. The trial will be conducted at multiple centers worldwide and involves 15 clinic visits. Throughout the study, participants will undergo assessments including endoscopy to measure treatment response based on the Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease at week 12. Safety will also be monitored over approximately 60 weeks, including a 4-week safety follow-up period after treatment ends. Researchers will compare the medical problems experienced and how well participants tolerate the treatments.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of upadacitinib in treating adults and adolescents with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) who have not responded to or cannot tolerate anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy. HS is an inflammatory skin disease causing painful lesions in areas such as the underarms, groin, and anal/genital regions. This phase 3, double-blind study involves approximately 1328 participants worldwide and aims to monitor disease activity and adverse events over time. Participants will receive oral tablets of either upadacitinib or placebo once daily during Period 1 and Period 2, lasting a total of 36 weeks. In Period 1, participants are randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups, with a 50% chance of receiving placebo. Based on results and placement in earlier periods, participants enter Period 2 with six potential treatment groups. Eligible participants from these periods may continue into Period 3, a long-term extension lasting 68 weeks, continuing the same daily oral treatment. Following the treatment periods, participants will be followed for approximately 30 days. During the study, participants will attend regular outpatient visits for medical assessments, monitoring for side effects, and completing questionnaires. Researchers will measure the percentage of participants achieving a clinical response called HiSCR 50 from baseline to week 16 and track adverse events up to approximately week 108. The study may require a higher treatment commitment compared to usual care, but provides close monitoring of disease activity and safety throughout all study phases.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic and often painful skin disease that causes lumps, abscesses, and scars in areas like under the breasts, armpits, inner thighs, groin, and buttocks. Researchers are evaluating the investigational drug lutikizumab compared to placebo in adults and adolescents with moderate to severe HS. This study aims to assess the disease activity and safety of lutikizumab in a Phase 3 clinical trial involving about 1280 participants worldwide.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of verekitug (UPB-101) in adults with moderate-to-severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a long-term inflammatory lung condition. This global, multicenter Phase 2b study aims to understand how well verekitug works compared to a placebo, alongside participants' usual COPD medications. Participants must have a confirmed COPD diagnosis and meet specific lung function and symptom criteria to join the study. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of two doses of verekitug or a matching placebo, in addition to their regular COPD background treatments. The study includes a screening period of about 4 weeks, followed by treatment lasting between 60 and 108 weeks. After treatment, there is a 16-week follow-up period to monitor participants after their last dose. Throughout the study, participants will undergo various assessments including lung function tests and symptom evaluations. Researchers will track the annual rate of moderate or severe COPD flare-ups from the start of treatment through week 108. Safety and tolerability will be closely monitored during the treatment and follow-up periods to ensure participants' well-being over the course of the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the study medicine PF-08046054 compared to the standard chemotherapy drug docetaxel in adults with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery or radiation. Participants must have PD-L1 expression on 1% or more of their tumor cells and have experienced cancer progression during or after treatment with PD-L1 or PD-1 inhibitors, platinum-based chemotherapy, and targeted therapies for those with known genetic mutations. The trial is a Phase 3 randomized study to better understand how well PF-08046054 works alone compared to docetaxel alone. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either PF-08046054 or docetaxel. Those in the PF-08046054 group will get intravenous (IV) infusions twice every 21-day cycle, while those in the docetaxel group will receive one IV infusion every 21 days. The treatment period may last up to 5 years if their NSCLC responds to the therapy. No other treatments are combined during the study period. Throughout the study, participants will have regular clinic visits for evaluations and monitoring to see how they respond to the treatment. Researchers will collect information on overall survival over approximately 5 years. They will also monitor safety and disease progression during these visits to understand the long-term effects and benefits of the treatments.

Researchers are evaluating whether the medicine vicadrostat, combined with empagliflozin, helps adults with chronic heart failure (HF) who have a weakened heart pumping function, specifically a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) below 40%. Eligible participants must have been diagnosed with chronic HF at least 3 months before joining. The study is a Phase III trial designed to compare the effects of vicadrostat plus empagliflozin against placebo plus empagliflozin in people with symptomatic chronic HF classified as New York Heart Association classes II to IV. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group takes tablets containing vicadrostat and empagliflozin, while the other group takes placebo tablets that look like vicadrostat along with empagliflozin. Tablets are taken once daily for a period ranging from about 6 months up to about 3.5 years. Participants continue their usual heart failure treatments during the study. The study is double-blind, meaning neither the participants nor the study staff know who is receiving which treatment. During the study, participants regularly visit the study site or may have phone contacts for follow-up. They answer questions about their health and well-being. Doctors monitor and record any worsening of heart failure symptoms, hospital visits due to heart failure, or deaths. They also check participants' overall health and note any side effects. The main outcome measured is the time until a participant experiences cardiovascular death, hospitalization for heart failure, or an urgent heart failure visit, over up to 43 months of follow-up.

This research aims to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of pelacarsen (TQJ230) in adults with established cardiovascular disease and elevated Lipoprotein(a) who have completed the parent trial CTQJ230A12301. The study is an open-label extension following the phase 3 parent study, providing participants continued access to pelacarsen after the initial trial. Participants will receive pelacarsen 80 mg by subcutaneous injection once a month during this open-label extension. The study is single-arm and multicenter, focusing on continued treatment with pelacarsen for up to 36 months after completion of the parent study. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored regularly to assess safety and tolerability, with particular attention to adverse events occurring up to 36 months. Researchers will collect data on health status throughout this period to understand the long-term effects of pelacarsen in this patient population.

Researchers are tracking patients with Fabry disease through an ongoing international, multi-center observational program called the Fabry Registry. This program collects routine clinical data from patients regardless of their treatment status to better understand the disease's variability, progression, and natural history. It also focuses on enhancing patient care by supporting the development of monitoring recommendations and evaluating the long-term safety and effectiveness of Fabrazyme, a treatment for Fabry disease. The study includes a Fabry Pregnancy Sub-registry, which is a voluntary, international, longitudinal observation program that monitors pregnancy outcomes for women enrolled in the Fabry Registry who are pregnant or have been pregnant. This sub-registry collects medical and obstetric history, pregnancy, and birth data, along with infant growth information up to 36 months postpartum, regardless of the specific treatment received. No experimental treatments are administered in either registry; patients continue receiving routine care as determined by their physicians. Participants contribute data through clinical assessments and standard care evaluations performed by their doctors. The study measures long-term outcomes including safety and effectiveness of Fabrazyme over up to 33 years, as well as pregnancy outcomes and infant growth data. The program helps fulfill regulatory requirements and supports research while tracking patient health over extended periods without altering their usual care.
