Researchers are conducting a 24-week observational study to monitor the safety and effectiveness of the Enerzair inhalation capsule in adults with asthma under routine clinical care. This study is prospective, open-label, multicenter, and single-arm, designed to gather real-world data without altering standard treatment practices. The goal is to evaluate how Enerzair performs in everyday use over nearly six months. Participants in this study will be adults with asthma who have already been prescribed one of two doses of Enerzair inhalation capsules via Breezhaler, following approved labeling in Korea. The two dosages used are 150/50/80 micrograms and 150/50/160 micrograms. There is no treatment assignment by the study; instead, patients continuing their prescribed Enerzair treatment will be observed. No additional diagnostic tests or monitoring beyond routine clinical care will be performed. During the 24-week study, researchers will track any adverse events or serious adverse events, including unexpected ones, to assess safety. Participants will provide informed consent for data collection. The study will observe patients through their usual care visits, focusing on safety outcomes without additional interventions or procedures. This real-world surveillance helps understand Enerzair's tolerability and safety profile over six months in a broad adult asthma population.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of trontinemab in people aged 50 to 90 with early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, ranging from mild cognitive impairment to mild dementia. This Phase III clinical trial focuses on those who show evidence of Alzheimer's pathology and have a recent history of cognitive decline. The study aims to measure changes in cognitive function over 72 weeks. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either intravenous trontinemab or a placebo. The trial is designed as a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives the active drug or placebo. The treatment period lasts up to 72 weeks, during which participants will undergo various assessments to monitor their cognitive status and safety. During the study, participants will complete clinical tests including cognitive assessments and imaging such as MRI, PET scans, or cerebrospinal fluid analysis to confirm Alzheimer's pathology. A study partner will assist participants as needed. Researchers will track changes from the start of the study through week 72 using tools like the Clinical Dementia Rating. Safety monitoring and adherence to study procedures will also be closely observed throughout the trial.

This research investigates a new treatment called HyperQureTM, a laparoscopic renal denervation therapy, for adults with resistant hypertension who take three or more blood pressure medications including a diuretic. The study aims to assess the safety and initial effectiveness of this first-in-human approach, which addresses limitations of existing catheter-based procedures, such as incomplete nerve treatment and risks from blood vessel access. The therapy targets nerves around the renal artery to better control blood pressure in patients whose hypertension remains difficult to manage. The treatment uses the HyperQure Renal Denervation System, which delivers radiofrequency energy through a laparoscopic instrument directly around the renal artery via the retroperitoneal approach. This allows a 360-degree treatment of the artery at preset settings for temperature and duration. Before the procedure, CT angiograms plan the target vessels, including main and branch renal arteries. Ten eligible adults will undergo this laparoscopic denervation under general anesthesia as part of this single-arm study. Participants will be monitored for up to 12 months after the procedure. Assessments include CT angiography, blood tests, office and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, and quality of life evaluations. The primary outcome is the change in 24-hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure from baseline to three months after treatment. Safety and effectiveness will be evaluated throughout the follow-up period to gather initial data on this new treatment for resistant hypertension.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab, both combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, as initial treatments for patients with metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) whose tumors express PD-L1. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, global study focuses on patients whose tumors meet the PD-L1 expression threshold of 1% or higher and do not have certain genetic mutations or rearrangements that would require other targeted therapies. Participants receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab intravenously on the first day of each 21-day treatment cycle. Both groups also receive platinum-based chemotherapy drugs such as carboplatin or cisplatin, administered intravenously up to four cycles, along with pemetrexed given intravenously on Day 1 of each cycle. The study monitors these treatments as first-line therapy for metastatic non-squamous NSCLC. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor size and response, as well as evaluations of organ and bone marrow function. Researchers track overall survival and progression-free survival for up to approximately five years. Safety is closely monitored throughout, and patients are followed long-term to assess outcomes related to treatment effectiveness and tolerability.

The trial investigates the use of volrustomig in participants with unresected locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) who have not shown disease progression after receiving definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT). The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of volrustomig compared to observation in this patient population. Participants have tumors that express PD-L1 and the study is conducted as a Phase III, randomized, open-label, multi-center global trial. Participants are assigned to receive either volrustomig as sequential therapy following cCRT or to an observation group. The treatment period involves monitoring participants who have completed definitive cCRT but remain unresected and have no evidence of metastatic disease. The study focuses on participants with Stage III, IVA, or IVB LA-HNSCC according to AJCC criteria, who have not undergone tumor resection before cCRT and have not been treated with radiotherapy alone. During the study, participants are regularly evaluated for progression-free survival, with follow-up lasting up to approximately 8 years to assess long-term outcomes. Researchers will monitor safety and disease progression closely. The overall participation duration includes screening, treatment or observation, and extended follow-up to capture both efficacy and safety data over time.

Researchers are studying adults with confirmed Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) and cirrhosis, a scarring of the liver caused by damage to bile ducts. PBC is a slowly progressing disease that causes bile acid buildup and further liver damage, which can lead to cirrhosis. This study aims to evaluate if elafibranor, a daily medication, can prevent worsening clinical outcomes such as the need for liver transplant or death, compared to a placebo. It also looks at the safety of long-term elafibranor use and its effect on symptoms like itching and tiredness. Participants will take either an 80 mg tablet of elafibranor or a matching placebo once daily for up to 3.5 years in a double-blind setup, meaning neither the participants nor researchers know who receives which treatment. This long-term treatment period is designed to monitor the drug's impact over time. The study includes two groups: one receiving elafibranor and the other receiving placebo, with treatment lasting up to approximately 42 months. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed from the start until 4 weeks after treatment ends, with a maximum involvement of 3.5 years. Researchers will measure event-free survival, tracking if participants avoid clinical events indicating disease worsening. Safety monitoring will include tracking side effects and overall health, while symptom impact will be evaluated. Participants will provide informed consent and follow the study protocol throughout this extended observation period.

Researchers are evaluating whether the drugs retatrutide and tirzepatide can prevent major adverse liver outcomes (MALO) in adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) who are at high risk. This Phase 3 trial enrolls about 4,500 adults with MASLD identified by non-invasive tests indicating an increased likelihood of developing serious liver problems. The study aims to understand how these treatments might affect liver health over time compared to a placebo. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either retatrutide, tirzepatide, or a placebo, all given by subcutaneous injection. The study will last approximately 224 weeks, during which participants may attend 25 to 30 clinic visits for monitoring and assessment. After the main study, eligible participants can join an optional 2-year extension where all will receive either retatrutide or tirzepatide regardless of their original group. Throughout the trial, participants’ liver function and disease progression will be closely monitored through various health assessments. Researchers will track the time to the first major adverse liver event as the main outcome. Safety and health status will be evaluated regularly during clinic visits, ensuring thorough observation over the long study period.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of benralizumab, given as a subcutaneous injection, in children and adolescents aged 6 to under 18 years who have severe eosinophilic asthma. These patients have a history of asthma exacerbations and uncontrolled symptoms despite treatment with high-dose inhaled corticosteroids plus at least one other controller medication. This Phase III study aims to compare benralizumab to placebo in reducing the time to the first asthma exacerbation. The study includes a screening period lasting from 4 to 12 weeks to confirm eligibility. After screening, patients are randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either benralizumab or placebo via subcutaneous injections during a double-blind treatment period lasting a minimum of 16 weeks. This period continues until the patient experiences an asthma exacerbation or a set number of events occur. Patients who exacerbate can enter an open-label extension where all receive benralizumab for at least 48 weeks. An end-of-treatment visit occurs 8 weeks after the last dose in the extension phase. Participants will be monitored through visits and assessments including confirmation of severe eosinophilic asthma, asthma control questionnaires, and symptom diaries. Researchers will measure the time to first asthma exacerbation as the primary outcome. Medication adherence is tracked during screening, and safety is monitored throughout both the double-blind and extension periods. Total participation may span over a year, considering screening, treatment, extension, and follow-up visits.
