Researchers are evaluating ITI-1284, a drug being studied for agitation associated with Alzheimers dementia. This Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ITI-1284 in patients aged 55 years and older who experience agitation related to Alzheimers disease. The study is sponsored by Intra-Cellular Therapies, Inc. and follows strict clinical criteria for diagnosis and agitation severity. Participants are randomly assigned in equal numbers to receive either ITI-1284 or a placebo. ITI-1284 is given as a rapidly disintegrating tablet taken once daily under the tongue at doses of 10 mg or 20 mg. The study consists of three periods a screening period lasting up to 4 weeks to assess eligibility, a 12-week double-blind treatment period where the assigned study drug is taken daily, and a 30-day safety follow-up period after the last dose to monitor any effects. During the study, participants will have assessments including the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory CMAI to measure agitation levels at Week 12. Other evaluations include the Clinical Global Impression-Severity CGI-S score and cognitive testing with the Mini-Mental State Examination. Safety monitoring occurs throughout the treatment and follow-up periods. Overall, participation lasts approximately 16 to 17 weeks, covering screening, treatment, and safety checks.

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 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 studying maridebart cafraglutide to evaluate its effect on reducing cardiovascular problems and death in people with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease who are also overweight or obese. This Phase 3 trial compares maridebart cafraglutide to a placebo, both given alongside standard care, to see if maridebart cafraglutide works better in lowering heart-related risks. Participants will receive either maridebart cafraglutide or a placebo, both administered by subcutaneous injection. The study lasts for up to approximately 35 months, during which researchers monitor several heart and health outcomes. These include heart attacks, strokes, death rates, hospitalizations, blood pressure, body measurements, blood sugar control, cholesterol levels, kidney function, and inflammatory markers. During the trial, participants will have regular assessments including physical exams, blood tests, and monitoring of heart events. Researchers track the time to first major heart-related events and changes in health markers over the study period. Safety is also monitored by recording any adverse events. The total participation time can last nearly three years, allowing careful observation of the effects of the study drug compared to placebo.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety and tolerability of NBI-1065845 as an additional treatment for adults with Major Depressive Disorder MDD. This Phase 3, open-label study focuses on participants who have a primary diagnosis of recurrent moderate or severe MDD or persistent depressive disorder and have had an inadequate response to oral antidepressant treatments in their current depressive episode. Participants will receive NBI-1065845 tablets taken orally once daily as an adjunctive therapy alongside their ongoing antidepressant treatments. The study is designed as a single-group, open-label trial without placebo or comparison groups. The treatment period and follow-up extend over 52 weeks, during which safety and tolerability will be closely monitored. Throughout the study, participants will be assessed for treatment-emergent adverse events TEAEs from baseline through Week 52. Participants must be willing and able to comply with all study procedures and restrictions, including regular visits and evaluations determined by the investigators. The overall study duration allows for comprehensive monitoring of safety outcomes and participant well-being.

Researchers are evaluating maridebart cafraglutide as an additional treatment to standard care for adults with heart failure who have preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction, and who are also obese. This phase 3, global, multicenter trial aims to see if this drug can reduce heart failure events like hospitalizations and urgent visits, lower cardiovascular deaths, and improve heart failure symptoms. The study has a double-blind phase and an open-label extension, and it will continue until about 850 primary endpoint events occur. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either maridebart cafraglutide or a placebo, both given by subcutaneous injection. The trial lasts up to approximately 35 months and includes assessments at various time points to measure heart failure events, cardiovascular deaths, kidney function, blood pressure, weight, blood sugar, cholesterol, and quality of life using questionnaires. The study also tracks serious adverse events and drug concentrations. During the trial, participants will have regular visits for monitoring, including questionnaires, laboratory tests, and physical assessments. Researchers will evaluate the time to first cardiovascular events and heart failure hospitalizations as the main outcome. Secondary measures include changes in symptoms, kidney health, blood pressure, and metabolic factors. Safety will be monitored throughout, with follow-up continuing up to about 35 months from the start of treatment.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of NBI-1065845 compared with a placebo as an additional treatment to improve symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder MDD. The study focuses on participants who have recurrent moderate to severe MDD or persistent depressive disorder and who have not responded adequately to oral antidepressants in their current episode. This Phase 3 trial is designed to assess both the efficacy and safety of this investigational drug. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either NBI-1065845 or a matching placebo, both administered orally once a day. The study is double-blind, meaning neither participants nor researchers know which treatment is given. Treatment duration lasts 56 days, during which participants continue their current oral antidepressant medication at the same dose. The study uses a parallel design with two groups receiving either the drug or placebo. During the trial, participants will be assessed at baseline and at Day 56 using several scales to measure changes in depression severity and disability. These include the Montgomery-5sberg Depression Rating Scale MADRS, the Sheehan Disability Scale SDS, and the Clinical Global Impression-Severity Scale CGI-S. Participants must comply with all study procedures and restrictions, and their safety and response to treatment will be closely monitored throughout the study period, which ends in July 2027.

Researchers are evaluating the effect of seltorexant as an add-on treatment to antidepressants in adults and elderly people with major depressive disorder who also have insomnia symptoms and have not responded well to their current antidepressant therapy with SSRIs or SNRIs. This Phase 3 study aims to understand how well seltorexant works, its safety, and its ability to maintain improvement compared with a placebo. Participants in part 1 of the study will receive either seltorexant or a matching placebo once daily for 6 weeks, alongside their usual SSRI or SNRI antidepressant. Those who complete part 1 and meet criteria for part 2, plus new participants entering directly into part 2, will receive seltorexant during an open-label induction and stabilization phase. Participants who respond well will then enter a double-blind maintenance phase, receiving either seltorexant or placebo daily, continuing their baseline antidepressant throughout. During the study, participants will be monitored through rating scales measuring depression severity, sleep disturbance, and patient health questionnaires at baseline and specified days up to two years and ten months. Researchers will assess changes in depression symptoms and time to relapse, along with safety and tolerability. Participants will be followed through treatment phases and post-treatment periods to evaluate the maintenance of effects and overall safety.

This research aims to evaluate the effects of combining baxdrostat with dapagliflozin compared to dapagliflozin alone in adults aged 40 and older who have type 2 diabetes, established cardiovascular disease, a history of hypertension with a systolic blood pressure of at least 130 mmHg, and at least one additional risk factor for heart failure. The study is a phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled trial focusing on preventing heart failure events and cardiovascular death. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat with dapagliflozin or placebo with dapagliflozin. Those starting the baxdrostatdapagliflozin treatment may begin with a lower baxdrostat dose that can be increased if certain criteria are met. A run-in period with dapagliflozin alone for 4 to 6 weeks may occur for those not previously treated or treated less than 4 weeks with SGLT2 inhibitors. Treatment visits will occur at about 2, 4, 8, 16, and 34 weeks after randomization, then every 4 months until study closure. Participants will undergo screening for eligibility within a 14-day period, with an optional pre-screening phase that does not require site visits or consent. During the study, regular assessments including monitoring for heart failure events and cardiovascular outcomes will be conducted. If participants stop the blinded treatment early, they may continue with open-label dapagliflozin unless specific discontinuation criteria apply. The study will continue until a predetermined number of cardiovascular events occur, with ongoing data collection and visits according to protocol.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of ITI-1284 as a single treatment for adults with moderate to severe Generalized Anxiety Disorder GAD who have not adequately responded to previous treatments. This Phase 2 study is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, designed to compare different doses of ITI-1284 with a placebo. The study aims to address the needs of patients meeting DSM-5-TR criteria for GAD with a history of insufficient response to approved medications. The trial includes three periods a screening period lasting up to 2 weeks to assess eligibility and medication washout a 6-week double-blind treatment period where about 570 patients are randomly assigned to receive either ITI-1284 10 mg, ITI-1284 20 mg, or a matching placebo once daily via sublingual tablets and a 1-week safety follow-up after the last dose. Participants take their assigned tablets daily under blinded conditions to evaluate the treatment effects. Participants will undergo assessments using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale HAM-A and the Clinical Global Impression Scale-Severity CGI-S at 6 weeks to measure anxiety severity and overall clinical status. Safety monitoring includes a follow-up visit about one week after treatment ends. The total participation time covers screening, treatment, and safety follow-up, with evaluations conducted at specified intervals to monitor response and tolerability.
