Researchers will track changes in lung function from the start through Week 12 and observe any adverse events up to Week 16. Participants are expected to comply with all study visits, treatments, and procedures, including keeping an electronic diary to record relevant health information.

Researchers are studying the investigational drug GB-0895 as an additional treatment for adolescents and adults aged 12 to 80 years with severe asthma that is not controlled by inhaled corticosteroids and other standard asthma treatments. This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of GB-0895 in improving asthma control over a year. The trial includes an optional open-label extension for further assessment. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either GB-0895 or a placebo by subcutaneous injection every six months during the 52-week treatment period. The study also includes a screening and baseline phase, a run-in phase before treatment, and a follow-up period after treatment ends. During the optional extension phase, participants may continue receiving GB-0895 at specified time points. The study involves multiple visits approximately every 1 to 2 months after the first month. Throughout the trial, participants will undergo various assessments including lung function tests, asthma symptom diaries, quality of life questionnaires, and monitoring of asthma exacerbations. Researchers will track annual asthma exacerbation rates and changes in asthma control and quality of life scores. Safety will be closely monitored during and after treatment. Total participation may last up to about 2.7 years if including the extension phase.

Researchers are evaluating ibuzatrelvir, an oral medication, to determine its effectiveness and safety in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older with COVID-19 who are not hospitalized but are at high risk for severe illness. The study is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind trial comparing ibuzatrelvir with a placebo. Participants must have confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection with symptoms starting within 5 days and meet specific risk factor criteria based on age. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive either ibuzatrelvir or a matching placebo twice daily by mouth for 5 days. The study allows co-administration of standard care treatments available locally. The total study duration is about 6 months, including follow-up. Participants will be monitored for emergency department visits related to COVID-19, hospitalizations, and mortality up to 28 days after starting treatment. Additional evaluations include symptom resolution, occurrence of long COVID symptoms, viral RNA levels, and safety measures such as adverse events through 24 weeks. The study involves regular assessments, including clinical visits and laboratory tests, to track outcomes and safety over time.

Researchers are evaluating the effect of muvalaplin in lowering cardiovascular risks among adults with elevated lipoproteina who either have atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease or are at risk of a first heart attack or stroke. This phase 3, randomized, double-blind study aims to investigate whether muvalaplin can reduce major adverse cardiovascular events compared to placebo in this high-risk population. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either muvalaplin or a placebo, both given orally. The study is designed with parallel groups and will last about 5.25 years, during which the occurrence of cardiovascular events and changes in lipoproteina levels will be closely monitored. Throughout the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including measurement of lipoproteina levels, monitoring of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks or strokes, and evaluation of healthcare resource use. The primary outcome is the time to first major adverse cardiac event, tracked from baseline until the study ends. Safety and pharmacokinetics of muvalaplin will also be evaluated during the trial period.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of switching from combustible cigarettes to a Tobacco Heating System THS in adults with COPD and chronic bronchitis. This randomized study aims to show clinical benefits in symptoms such as cough frequency and shortness of breath, as well as lung function and exercise ability measured by a six-minute walk test. The study focuses on how patients feel and function when switching to THS compared to continuing cigarette smoking. Participants are randomly assigned to either continue smoking cigarettes or switch to using the THS freely without flavor restrictions. The study lasts for 24 weeks, during which the participants use their assigned product as they wish. Researchers compare changes in symptoms, lung function, cough severity, and exposure to harmful substances between the two groups over this period. Throughout the 24 weeks, participants undergo various assessments including cough frequency monitoring, lung function tests, quality of life questionnaires related to cough, and measurements of nicotine and carbon monoxide exposure. These evaluations occur at multiple time points such as weeks 1, 4, 12, and 24. The study tracks symptom changes, respiratory function, and overall health status while ensuring safety monitoring and adherence, providing a comprehensive view of the effects of switching products for people with COPD.

Researchers are studying bronchiectasis in adults and adolescents aged 12 to under 18 who produce sputum and have experienced flare-ups. The trial aims to evaluate whether the medicine BI 1291583 can help reduce these flare-ups compared to a placebo. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either BI 1291583 or a placebo in a phase III, double-blind study. Participants take one tablet of either BI 1291583 or placebo once daily for up to 1 year and 6 months. The study includes two groups one receiving the active medication and the other receiving placebo tablets that look identical but contain no medicine. The study period lasts up to 1 year and 8 months, during which participants attend up to 10 site visits and receive about 13 phone calls. During the study, participants regularly record their bronchiectasis symptoms in a smartphone diary. Study doctors monitor participants health, note any flare-ups, and check for unwanted effects. Researchers compare the number of flare-ups between the two groups as the primary measure. Secondary measures include time to first flare-up, quality of life changes, lung function changes, and rates of severe flare-ups.

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.
