Researchers are evaluating whether an investigational drug called OHB-607 can prevent Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD), a common chronic lung disease, in extremely premature infants. The study compares infants receiving OHB-607 alongside standard neonatal care to those receiving standard care alone to reduce the burden of this lung condition. This is a Phase 2b, multicenter, randomized, open-label study focused on safety and clinical efficacy. Participants will receive an intravenous infusion of OHB-607 from birth until reaching a postmenstrual age (PMA) of 29 weeks and 6 days. The study includes two arms: one group receives the investigational drug plus standard care, while the other group receives only standard neonatal care. The treatment period ends at 29 weeks plus 6 days PMA, after which infants are monitored. Throughout the study, researchers will track the incidence of severe BPD or death up to 36 weeks PMA, whichever occurs first. Assessments will include clinical evaluations and monitoring for safety and any side effects. The study also involves long-term follow-up to observe the infants' health outcomes beyond the treatment period. Participation involves consent from parents and collection of birth and medical history information.

Researchers are conducting a phase III randomized trial to evaluate the effectiveness of adjuvant cemiplimab immunotherapy in patients with surgically removed stage II-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have not received prior platinum-based chemotherapy. The study focuses on patients whose tumors express PD-L1 at 1% or higher. The main goal is to measure disease-free survival, tracking the length of time patients remain free from cancer recurrence or death for up to about 59 months. Participants receive cemiplimab intravenously at 350 mg every 3 weeks for four cycles, followed by 700 mg every 6 weeks for six cycles, continuing until cancer relapse or unacceptable side effects occur. The treatment is compared to observation without additional adjuvant therapy. The study involves careful dosing schedules and monitoring to assess the impact of cemiplimab as a post-surgical treatment option. During the study, participants undergo brain imaging for staging, tumor PD-L1 testing, and regular pregnancy tests for women of childbearing potential. Researchers monitor disease recurrence and adverse effects throughout treatment and follow-up. Patients must meet specific health criteria, including recovery from surgery and adequate organ function, and agree to use contraception during treatment and for four months afterward. The total participation period includes treatment cycles and long-term follow-up to evaluate disease-free survival and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety and effects of nerandomilast in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) who have previously completed treatment with nerandomilast in earlier studies. The study aims to understand how well participants tolerate nerandomilast over time, and whether it helps improve lung function, delays symptom worsening, reduces hospital visits, or impacts survival. This is a Phase 3 open-label extension trial. Participants take nerandomilast tablets daily for up to 1 year and 10 months while continuing their usual pulmonary fibrosis treatments. The study follows an open-label design where all participants receive nerandomilast. There are no placebo or comparator groups in this extension phase. Throughout the study, participants regularly visit their doctors for health assessments and lung function tests. Doctors monitor any health problems or side effects experienced during treatment. The main outcome measured is whether participants experience any adverse events up to the final follow-up visit, which occurs at week 99. This close monitoring helps evaluate the long-term safety and potential benefits of nerandomilast in this patient group.

This clinical study is testing a new medication, VH4524184, to see if it can effectively treat HIV-1 in adults who have never received treatment for their infection. The study is comparing two different doses of VH4524184, each taken with the medications emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide (FTC/TAF), to a standard HIV treatment called dolutegravir and lamivudine (DTG/3TC). The purpose of the study is to provide data on the long-term antiviral activity of the VH4524184 and provide information regarding dosing formulation for further evaluations.

Researchers are evaluating the recurrence-free survival of women with advanced HRD-positive high-grade ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, and clear cell carcinoma of the ovary after complete tumor removal. This phase II, randomized, open-label study compares two treatment strategies involving chemotherapy and maintenance therapy with niraparib. The study focuses on patients with no residual tumor mass following primary tumor debulking and aims to determine if fewer cycles of chemotherapy followed by niraparib maintenance are as effective as the standard number of chemotherapy cycles plus niraparib. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups: one receiving 3 cycles of carboplatin plus paclitaxel chemotherapy followed by niraparib maintenance, and the other receiving 6 cycles of carboplatin plus paclitaxel followed by niraparib maintenance. Randomization is based on genetic analysis and disease stage. Tumor assessments using CT or MRI scans will be done at defined intervals after treatment starts and during maintenance. Blood markers and safety monitoring will be conducted regularly throughout the treatment period. During the study, patients will have clinical visits every 3 weeks during chemotherapy and monthly during the first 11 months of maintenance, then quarterly thereafter. Safety is monitored continuously through adverse event reporting. The study plans to enroll 640 patients across about 60 sites in six European countries over 36 months. The primary outcome measured is recurrence-free survival over 8 years.

Researchers are evaluating AZD0780, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor, in a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study to see if it can reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE-PLUS) in adults with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or those at high risk for a first ASCVD event. The study compares AZD0780 to a placebo and monitors participants from randomization until the primary analysis censoring date, followed by a final study closure visit. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either oral AZD0780 or an oral placebo once daily. The treatment period lasts until the primary analysis censoring date, after which a study closure visit will occur. The study is event-driven and designed to assess the time to the first major cardiovascular event during treatment. During the study, participants will be closely monitored with various assessments to evaluate cardiovascular outcomes and safety over approximately 54 months. Researchers will track the time to first event of any component of MACE-PLUS and collect data to assess the effect of AZD0780 compared to placebo. The study includes regular visits and evaluations to ensure participant safety and adherence to treatment.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of iptacopan compared with a placebo in adults aged 18 to 85 years who have generalized Myasthenia Gravis positive for acetylcholine receptor antibodies (AChR+ gMG). This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study aims to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of iptacopan while participants continue their stable standard of care treatments. The study includes participants with moderate to severe gMG symptoms and positive diagnostic criteria. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either iptacopan or a matching placebo in the form of hard gelatin capsules for six months (180 days). During this time, they will continue their stable standard of care treatments. After the double-blind treatment period, a maximum 60-month open-label extension phase is offered. Safety follow-up assessments will occur one week and one month after the last dose of study treatment. During the study, participants will be evaluated for changes in their Myasthenia Gravis Activity of Daily Living (MG-ADL) total score from baseline to month 6. Researchers will monitor safety and tolerability throughout the treatment and extension periods. Vaccination status, infection monitoring, and regular clinical assessments will be part of participant evaluations to ensure safety and track disease symptoms over time.

Researchers are investigating treatments for patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR-positive), HER2-negative early-stage breast cancer who are at higher risk of relapse after surgery within the last five years. This phase II, open-label study uses a biomarker-driven approach to monitor minimal residual disease (MRD) by analyzing circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in blood samples. The study includes a pre-screening phase, a molecular follow-up phase with ctDNA surveillance, and an interventional treatment phase, aiming to identify patients at molecular relapse and evaluate whether early treatment can improve outcomes. Participants first enter a ctDNA surveillance phase where tumor tissue and blood samples are collected to create individualized mutation panels. Blood is tested every three months during the first year and every six months thereafter. If ctDNA is detected, patients may enter one of four treatment arms: standard treatment followed by change, giredestrant alone, giredestrant combined with abemaciclib, or giredestrant combined with inavolisib. LHRH agonists are given as appropriate for men and premenopausal women. Treatment dosing and schedules are defined, including special dosing for certain kidney function levels. The study allows arm expansions based on ctDNA response criteria. Throughout the study, patients undergo regular ctDNA assessments to monitor treatment response. Safety and disease progression are tracked with scans and clinical evaluations. After treatment, a follow-up period collects survival and new therapy information every three months until study end. The primary outcome is measuring a decrease or clearance of baseline ctDNA three months after starting treatment. Total enrollment includes 976 patients for surveillance, with 40 allocated to treatment arms initially, and potential expansion based on results.

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 evaluating the effect of a triple therapy inhaler called BGF MDI containing budesonide, glycopyrronium, and formoterol fumarate compared with a dual therapy inhaler called GFF MDI containing glycopyrronium and formoterol fumarate in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) who have a higher risk of heart and lung problems. This Phase III randomized, double-blind, parallel group study takes place at multiple centers and focuses on cardiopulmonary outcomes in these patients. Participants receive either the BGF MDI 320/14.4/9.6 micrograms twice daily or the GFF MDI 14.4/9.6 micrograms twice daily. The treatments are inhaled using metered dose inhalers. The study compares these two therapies over time to see how they affect the time until the first severe heart or lung event occurs. The study design ensures that neither participants nor researchers know which treatment is given to reduce bias. During the study, participants will have regular visits to the study site or virtual visits to complete assessments. Researchers will monitor lung function, symptoms, and blood tests, including blood eosinophil counts and COPD assessment test scores. The main outcome measured is the time to the first severe cardiac or COPD event, with follow-up lasting up to three years. Safety and adherence to treatment will also be closely observed throughout the study period.
