Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of remibrutinib in patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis SPMS. This is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study involving approximately 1275 participants. The study aims to provide important data on remibrutinibs effect on disability progression in SPMS and includes both a Core Part and an Extension Part for further assessment. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either remibrutinib or a matching placebo as oral film-coated tablets during the Core Part. The Core Part includes double-blind treatment, followed by an Extension Part where all participants receive open-label remibrutinib tablets. Treatment is taken orally, and the study is event-driven, continuing until required endpoints are met. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments of disability progression using the Expanded Disability Status Scale EDSS, Timed 25-Foot Walk, 9-Hole Peg Test, and Symbol Digit Modalities Test, among others. Brain imaging and safety monitoring for adverse events are performed throughout up to approximately five years. Researchers track changes in brain lesions and atrophy, and follow participants for safety and treatment effects over time.

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. It is an open-label extension trial, meaning all participants receive the study drug without placebo comparison. The trial is sponsored by Novartis Pharmaceuticals and focuses on continued treatment after the completion of the parent study. Participants receive monthly injections of pelacarsen 80 mg subcutaneously for up to 36 months during this extension phase. This phase is designed to provide access to the study drug after the initial trial and to monitor participants closely. The study does not involve randomization or blinding, and all enrolled participants receive the active drug. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including monitoring for adverse events and cardiovascular events, as well as measuring Lipoproteina levels at baseline and several time points over 36 months. Safety and tolerability will be closely tracked throughout the treatment period. The total duration of participation corresponds to the length of the extension phase, up to three years.

Researchers are investigating multiple investigational compounds in adults with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis AD to assess their effectiveness and safety. This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II platform study focuses on evaluating these treatments, with the initial compound being GHZ339. The study aims to better understand potential new options for managing moderate to severe AD. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of several doses of GHZ339 or a matching placebo during the first treatment period. Those receiving GHZ339 at specific doses in the first period will continue with the same or adjusted dose in the second treatment period, while those initially on placebo will receive GHZ339 at dose A in the second period. This design allows comparison of different doses and placebo effects across two treatment periods. During the study, participants will be monitored for changes in their eczema severity using the Eczema Area and Severity Index EASI score and other assessments like the Investigator Global Assessment IGA at baseline and Week 16. The study includes regular evaluations to track safety and treatment impact. Total participation duration includes screening, two treatment periods, and follow-up, with detailed monitoring to understand treatment effects and safety in this population.

Researchers are evaluating how a new combination treatment of Sigvotatug Vedotin plus pembrolizumab works compared to pembrolizumab alone in adults with non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC who have high levels of the PD-L1 protein. This protein can limit the bodys immune response to cancer. The study includes participants with advanced NSCLC who meet specific molecular and staging criteria and aims to assess the treatments effects on survival and disease progression. Participants receive pembrolizumab as an intravenous infusion once every 6 weeks at the clinic. Half of the participants will also receive Sigvotatug Vedotin intravenously every 2 weeks alongside pembrolizumab. Pembrolizumab treatment may continue for up to about two years, whereas Sigvotatug Vedotin administration can continue until the cancer no longer responds. The trial is randomized and controlled, comparing the combination treatment to pembrolizumab alone. During the study, participants attend regular clinic visits for treatment and monitoring. Researchers will evaluate overall survival and progression-free survival over approximately two years, along with additional measures such as response rates, duration of response, safety, and drug levels in the blood. The study includes ongoing assessments to observe how participants respond to treatment and manage side effects, with a total participation time that may extend up to several years.
