Researchers are evaluating the use of sodium zirconium cyclosilicate SZC to help optimize renin-angiotensin aldosterone system inhibitor RAASi therapies in elderly patients aged 70 and older who have heart failure and chronic kidney disease. Many patients with these conditions do not receive recommended RAASi doses because of elevated potassium levels, which can be dangerous. This study aims to see if adding SZC allows safer and more effective use of RAASi medications by managing potassium levels. This is a randomized, open-label clinical trial where eligible participants who have been hospitalized for heart failure worsening and have mild or at-risk hyperkalemia will be assigned to one of two groups. One group receives SZC along with standard RAASi treatment, while the other receives RAASi treatment alone without potassium binders. The treatment period lasts three months, during which RAASi doses are adjusted following European Society of Cardiology guidelines. Participants will be monitored from screening through three months of treatment to measure how many can increase their RAASi doses by at least 25%. Evaluations include clinical assessments, potassium level monitoring, and adherence to therapy. The study will also track secondary outcomes related to higher dose increases. Safety and treatment effects will be observed throughout the trial, which is expected to provide important insights for managing these conditions in elderly patients.

Primary immune thrombocytopenia ITP is a condition where the immune system mistakenly destroys platelets, leading to a lower number of platelets and increased risk of bruising or bleeding. This Phase 3 study evaluates the long-term safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of mezagitamab in adults with chronic primary ITP. The study also investigates how the body processes mezagitamab over an extended period. Participants who completed previous mezagitamab studies TAK-079-3002 or TAK-079-1004 will be invited to join this continuation trial. Eligible participants may receive mezagitamab injections on demand, with treatment courses repeated as needed based on specific criteria and the investigators clinical judgment. The treatment is administered subcutaneously. During the study, participants will visit the clinic several times for assessments. Researchers will monitor safety by tracking treatment-emergent adverse events, and evaluate effectiveness through platelet response and remission rates. Measurements of drug levels and antibodies will also be taken. The study may last up to approximately 108 weeks, allowing detailed long-term follow-up.

Researchers are conducting a prospective, multicenter observational study to create a registry for patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. This study includes patients diagnosed from January 2016 onwards, either at first diagnosis or after recurrence. Treatment choices are made independently by physicians, and the study does not specify any treatment regimen. The study groups are defined by breast cancer subtypes based on receptor expression, including Luminal A-like, Luminal B-like HER2 negative and positive, HER2-enriched, and Triple Negative subtypes. Since this is an observational study, patients receive standard care as determined by their doctors, and no intervention is assigned by the study. Participants medical records and disease management data will be collected and reviewed over an 8-year period. Researchers will evaluate the distribution of breast cancer subtypes, patient and tumor characteristics, hereditary risk factors, gender differences in disease progression, timing of primary tumor surgery, and biomarker presence in tumor and blood samples. Patients may withdraw consent at any time, and the study aims to follow patients until death or study completion.

Researchers are studying the impact and burden of three skin conditions moderate or severe alopecia areata, non-segmental vitiligo, and moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa. The study includes adolescents and adults and aims to understand how these conditions affect quality of life and daily functioning in a large global population. This is an observational study where participants with each condition will have a single visit for data collection following routine clinical practice. No experimental treatments are given instead, the study gathers information during this one visit to assess disease characteristics and impact. During the visit, participants will complete questionnaires and clinical assessments specific to their condition. These include tools measuring symptom impact, hair loss severity, skin depigmentation, and quality of life related to each disease. This helps researchers better understand the real-world burden of these conditions. Participation involves only this one visit, with no long-term follow-up or additional procedures.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of a new medicine called NNC0487-0111 in people who have Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction HFpEF or Heart Failure with mildly reduced Ejection Fraction HFmrEF and excess body weight. This phase 3 clinical trial aims to find out if NNC0487-0111 is safe and effective for treating these conditions compared to a placebo. Participants have HFpEF or HFmrEF and a body mass index of 30 or above. The study is sponsored by Novo Nordisk AS and uses a randomized, quadruple-masked design. Participants will receive either NNC0487-0111 or a matching placebo by injection under the skin once a week. The NNC0487-0111 is given in increasing doses over time. The study is parallel in design, meaning participants are randomly assigned to one of the two groups and receive that treatment throughout the trial. This treatment period extends for up to about 165 weeks. The study evaluates the time to certain heart failure events, hospitalizations, cardiovascular deaths, and other major cardiovascular events. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly to assess heart failure outcomes and kidney function, as well as quality of life using questionnaires like the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire. Safety and effectiveness are assessed through hospital visits, heart failure event tracking, and blood tests including kidney function and blood sugar levels. The total participation spans over three years, with ongoing evaluations to measure the time to heart failure events and cardiovascular outcomes. Participants receive close medical monitoring throughout the study period.

Primary immune thrombocytopenia ITP is a condition where the immune system mistakenly destroys platelets, the cells responsible for blood clotting, resulting in increased bleeding and bruising. This trial evaluates whether mezagitamab given as a subcutaneous injection can effectively maintain stable platelet counts in adults with chronic ITP compared to a placebo. The study is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to assess both the efficacy and safety of mezagitamab in this population. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either mezagitamab or a matching placebo by subcutaneous injection once weekly. The treatment schedule consists of 8 weekly doses followed by an 8-week break, then another 8 weekly doses, totaling up to 6 months of treatment. Those who finish this trial or do not respond to treatment by week 16 may have the option to join a continuation study to receive open-label mezagitamab if eligible and if the site is open. During the study, participants will visit the clinic multiple times for treatment and monitoring. Researchers will measure platelet responses, symptom changes using patient questionnaires, bleeding events, and blood concentrations of mezagitamab. Safety assessments include monitoring for anti-drug antibodies and adverse events. The primary outcome is the percentage of participants with a durable platelet response up to week 24. The trial is expected to complete in March 2028.

Non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC is a disease where cancer cells grow uncontrollably in lung tissues. This trial aims to compare the investigational drug telisotuzumab vedotin with docetaxel to see which works better and to assess the safety of telisotuzumab vedotin in adults with previously treated NSCLC that overexpresses the c-Met protein. The study is a Phase 3 global trial involving about 768 participants at around 330 sites. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either telisotuzumab vedotin by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks or docetaxel by intravenous infusion every 3 weeks. Treatment continues until specific criteria for stopping the study drug are met. After the study concludes, those who benefit may have access to continued treatment through extensions or rollover studies. During the trial, participants will attend regular visits at hospitals or clinics for medical assessments, blood tests, and side effect monitoring. Questionnaires will be completed to assess physical functioning and quality of life. Researchers will measure outcomes like progression-free survival and overall survival over up to about 39 months, with some secondary outcomes assessed up to approximately 58 months.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of Afimkibart also known as RO7790121 as an induction therapy in people aged 16 to 80 with moderately to severely active Crohns disease. This Phase III, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to compare Afimkibart with placebo to understand its potential benefits and risks for this condition. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Afimkibart through an intravenous infusion followed by a subcutaneous injection, or a placebo infusion followed by Afimkibart subcutaneous injection. The study treatment is given to assess the impact on Crohns disease activity over a 12-week period. During the study, participants will have their symptoms and disease activity monitored using assessments like the Crohns Disease Activity Index CDAI, endoscopic evaluations, stool and abdominal pain tracking, and quality of life questionnaires. Safety will be closely observed up to 30 weeks after starting treatment. This study helps to measure remission rates and responses to treatment over time.

Researchers are evaluating the combination of acalabrutinib with the standard chemotherapy regimen R-CHOP for the initial treatment of mantle cell lymphoma MCL in adults in Spain. This phase II, open-label, single-arm study aims to describe the safety and efficacy of this treatment approach for previously untreated MCL patients. The trial includes a safety run-in for older patients and an efficacy assessment after six cycles of induction therapy. Participants receive acalabrutinib orally twice daily along with up to six 21-day cycles of R-CHOP chemotherapy during the induction phase. After completing induction, patients who tolerate treatment and do not have disease progression continue acalabrutinib monotherapy. Those achieving a response will also receive maintenance rituximab every other 28-day cycle for up to twelve doses. Following maintenance, acalabrutinib monotherapy is continued until disease progression or treatment discontinuation. Throughout the study, participants are monitored regularly with clinical evaluations, safety assessments, and response measurements up to 30 months after the last participant is enrolled. Researchers will measure outcomes such as overall response rate, time to response, duration of response, progression-free survival, and overall survival. Safety and tolerability are also closely tracked from enrollment until 30 days after the last dose or disease progression.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy, safety, and how the body processes pharmacokinetics prasinezumab compared with a placebo in people with early-stage Parkinsons disease PD who are on stable levodopa monotherapy. This Phase III study aims to understand if prasinezumab can affect the progression of motor symptoms in this population. Participants will receive either prasinezumab or a placebo as an intravenous IV infusion during the double-blind treatment period. After completing this phase, eligible participants may enter an open-label extension where they can receive prasinezumab. Infusions are given according to a schedule detailed in the study protocol. Throughout the study, participants will be regularly assessed using the Movement Disorder Society - Unified Parkinsons Disease Rating Scale MDS-UPDRS Part III to monitor motor progression, along with other clinical measures and safety evaluations. Researchers will also track adverse events, antibody development against the drug, and drug levels in the blood. The study includes monitoring up to at least 104 weeks, with safety follow-up extending 70 days after the final dose.
