This research aims to evaluate the effects of litifilimab (BIIB059), a monoclonal antibody, in adults with active subacute or chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE), with or without systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Participants have active skin symptoms of CLE that have not improved with antimalarial therapy or had difficulties continuing that treatment. The study focuses on reducing skin disease activity using several scores including CLA-IGA-R and CLASI, while also assessing safety, immune response, and quality of life. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either litifilimab or a placebo injection under the skin every four weeks during a 24-week double-blind period where neither participants nor researchers know which treatment is given. After this, all participants will receive litifilimab injections every four weeks for an additional 28 weeks. Those who complete the treatment may join a long-term extension study or enter a follow-up safety period lasting up to 24 weeks. Total participation may last up to 80 weeks. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor skin disease activity using the CLA-IGA-R erythema score and the CLASI-A activity score to see how many participants improve. They will also assess safety, tolerability, immune system effects, and participants' quality of life using questionnaires. These evaluations occur regularly during both treatment periods and follow-up to understand the impact of litifilimab on CLE symptoms and overall health.

Researchers are evaluating the use of sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC) to optimize treatment with renin-angiotensin aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) in elderly patients with heart failure and chronic kidney disease who have elevated or at-risk serum potassium levels. This Phase 3 randomized clinical trial aims to find the best strategy to safely increase RAASi doses to recommended levels without causing significant hyperkalemia, which often limits these treatments despite their benefits for reducing mortality and morbidity. Eligible patients have had recent heart failure decompensation requiring hospital admission and intravenous diuretics, with mild hyperkalemia or risk of developing it. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either SZC along with RAASi therapy or standard care without potassium binders for three months. The study involves up-titrating ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors, or mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists according to clinical guidelines. The goal is to evaluate whether SZC helps patients reach target RAASi doses safely. Treatments are managed according to European Society of Cardiology recommendations, and the study is conducted across multiple centers with an open-label, parallel group design. Throughout the study, patients will be monitored from screening to three months after inclusion to assess how many can increase their RAASi doses by at least 25%. Researchers will evaluate potassium levels, kidney function, heart failure status, and adherence to treatment. Safety and tolerability will be observed, and data on hospitalizations, adverse events, and other clinical outcomes will be collected to understand the impact of SZC on optimizing heart failure and kidney disease management in elderly patients.

Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a condition in which the immune system mistakenly destroys platelets, the cells that help stop bleeding. This leads to a low platelet count, making it easier to bruise or bleed. The trial investigates the long-term safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of mezagitamab in adults with chronic primary ITP who have previously participated in certain mezagitamab studies. It also examines how the body processes mezagitamab over time. Participants who completed the previous mezagitamab studies TAK-079-3002 or TAK-079-1004 and meet specific criteria will receive mezagitamab as a subcutaneous injection during this continuation study. The study is open-label and multicenter, focusing on continued treatment based on protocol requirements. The medication is given under medical supervision, and participants return to the study clinic several times throughout the study. During their participation, individuals will undergo regular assessments including monitoring for treatment-emergent adverse events and serious adverse events up to approximately 108 weeks. Researchers will track safety by noting any adverse events that lead to permanent withdrawal from mezagitamab. The study includes physical evaluations, laboratory tests, and ongoing safety monitoring to understand how well participants tolerate the treatment and how effective it is over the long term.

The target population for inclusion in this study is breast cancer patients recently diagnosed (from January 2016) with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic disease (either after a recurrence or as first diagnosis). No treatment regimen will be protocol specified. This is an observational study in which clinical decisions concerning the optimum management strategy for a particular patient are taken independently of and/or prior to, any decision by the physician to invite a patient to participate in the study. The treating physician will make all treatment decisions according to his/her regular clinical practice independent of this study. Patients enrolled on the study are free to withdraw their informed consent for the use and disclosure of health information at any time and when asked, patients are not obliged to provide a reason. Patients may request discontinuation from the study at any time. The date and the reason for withdrawal or discontinuation from the study must be recorded in the electronic case report form (eCRF). An attempt will be made to determine the date of discontinuation and final status (i. e. withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up, death) of any patient who discontinues from the study. However, the treating clinician is encouraged to follow the patient as long as possible, until patient death or through study end. The Sponsor has the right to terminate the study at any time. The Sponsor will notify the investigator if the study is placed on hold or if the Sponsor decides to discontinue the study.

Researchers are conducting a global study to understand the impact of moderate to severe alopecia areata (AA), non-segmental vitiligo (NSV), and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) on adolescents and adults. This study aims to assess the burden these conditions place on patients' quality of life and daily functioning in a large real-world population. The study involves participants diagnosed by a physician with one of the three conditions: AA, NSV, or HS. There are no interventional treatments or medications being tested in this study, as it is observational in nature. Data collection focuses on patient-reported outcomes and measures that evaluate disease severity and its effects. Participants will complete various questionnaires and assessments related to their condition, such as the Alopecia Areata Symptom Impact Scale (AASIS) for AA, the Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) for scalp hair loss in AA, the Facial Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (F-VASI) and Vitiligo Quality of Life Score (VitiQoL) for vitiligo, and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and International Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severity Scoring System (IHS4) for HS. These tools help researchers understand how symptoms affect quality of life and disease severity. The study collects information up to the day of the study visit.

This research aims to provide ongoing access to treatments for participants with multiple myeloma or smoldering multiple myeloma who are benefiting from treatment in certain Janssen studies that include daratumumab. It allows all participants from daratumumab studies and those in daratumumab-containing arms of related studies, which have reached clinical cutoff for final analysis, to continue treatment. The study also collects long-term safety data from these participants. The treatments being evaluated include daratumumab, which is given either intravenously or subcutaneously, carfilzomib administered intravenously, dexamethasone given orally or intravenously, and oral medications lenalidomide and pomalidomide. Participants will continue to receive these treatments as part of this long-term extension study following their previous study treatment. During the study, participants will be monitored for safety, including tracking serious adverse events, adverse events of special interest, pregnancies, and abnormal pregnancies over a period of 3 years and 7 months. Assessments include pregnancy testing for women of childbearing potential and adherence to lifestyle restrictions. Participants must provide informed consent and will be followed closely to evaluate the long-term effects and safety of their treatment.

Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a condition where the immune system mistakenly destroys platelets, cells that help stop bleeding, leading to a low platelet count and increased risk of bruising or bleeding. This study is evaluating whether mezagitamab, given under the skin, can effectively maintain stable platelet counts in adults with chronic primary ITP compared to a placebo. The study is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind trial designed to assess the efficacy and safety of mezagitamab in this patient population. Participants will receive mezagitamab injections or placebo injections administered subcutaneously for up to 6 months. Those who complete this study 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. The study includes careful monitoring during treatment, with multiple visits to the study clinic throughout the treatment period. During the study, participants will undergo various assessments to monitor their platelet counts and overall health. Researchers will measure the percentage of participants who achieve a durable platelet response up to week 24. Safety and response to treatment will be regularly evaluated through clinical visits and laboratory tests. The total participation duration includes the initial treatment phase and potential extension in the continuation study for those who qualify.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of telisotuzumab vedotin compared to docetaxel in adults with previously treated non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that overexpresses c-Met. This phase 3 study focuses on participants with advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have specific genetic markers and have progressed after prior therapies. The study aims to assess changes in disease activity and adverse events over time. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either intravenous telisotuzumab vedotin every two weeks or intravenous docetaxel every three weeks. Treatment continues until predefined discontinuation criteria are met. Those who benefit from the study treatment may have the option to continue receiving it through an extension or rollover study. Approximately 698 adults will be enrolled worldwide at about 330 sites. During the study, participants will attend regular hospital or clinic visits for medical assessments, blood tests, side effect monitoring, and questionnaires. Researchers will measure progression-free survival and overall survival for up to approximately 39 months. The study includes careful safety monitoring and evaluates the impact of treatment on disease progression and patient well-being.

This trial investigates the safety and effectiveness of risankizumab compared to vedolizumab in adults with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) who have not previously received targeted therapies. Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease causing inflammation and bleeding in the rectum and colon. The study is a Phase 3b, randomized, open-label trial enrolling about 530 participants across 285 sites worldwide. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either risankizumab or vedolizumab. Those in the risankizumab group will receive the drug intravenously during the initial induction phase, followed by subcutaneous injections for maintenance. Participants in the vedolizumab group will receive the drug intravenously throughout the study. The treatment period lasts 44 weeks for risankizumab and 46 weeks for vedolizumab, following a screening period of up to 35 days. During the study, participants will attend regular outpatient visits for medical assessments, side effect evaluations, and to complete questionnaires. Researchers will monitor disease activity and drug safety, focusing on the percentage of participants achieving endoscopic improvement by week 48. The total study duration is approximately 69 weeks for risankizumab and 71 weeks for vedolizumab recipients.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of induction therapy with Afimkibart (also called RO7790121) in people aged 16 to 80 years who have moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. This Phase III, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study focuses on how well Afimkibart works compared to placebo in improving symptoms and healing the intestine. Participants will receive Afimkibart either as an intravenous (IV) infusion or a subcutaneous (SC) injection. The study includes a placebo group receiving a matching IV infusion. Treatment is given during the induction phase to assess the initial response. During the study, participants will be monitored for clinical remission using the Crohn's Disease Activity Index and for endoscopic response at 12 weeks. Researchers will assess safety, effectiveness, and any side effects throughout the study. Participants will undergo evaluations including symptom tracking and medical tests to measure treatment outcomes.
