Researchers are studying a treatment called MK-2214 to see if it can slow certain brain changes in people with early Alzheimer's disease (AD). AD is a form of dementia that causes memory loss, difficulties with communication, and challenges in decision-making, which affect daily activities. The study aims to find out if MK-2214 can slow the spread of tau protein in the brain compared to a placebo and to assess the safety and tolerability of MK-2214. Participants will receive either MK-2214 or a placebo through an intravenous (IV) infusion. The study is designed as a phase 2, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial with parallel groups. The treatment period lasts up to about 23 months, during which participants will receive infusions as scheduled. The placebo looks like the study treatment but contains no active drug, helping researchers understand the treatment's effects. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for changes in tau protein levels in the brain using PET scans and for any adverse events or side effects. Researchers will track the number of participants experiencing adverse events and those who stop treatment because of them, with safety follow-up lasting up to approximately 26 months. Participants will also undergo brain imaging such as CT, PET, or MRI scans. The study involves regular assessments to measure the treatment's impact and ensure participant safety over the study duration.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of Xeomin injections in preventing chronic migraine. This Phase 3 clinical trial compares Xeomin to placebo injections given into muscles of the head and neck. Participants have chronic migraine diagnosed for at least 12 months and meet specific headache and migraine day criteria. The study aims to measure changes in monthly migraine days over time with Xeomin treatment. Participants will receive four treatments spaced about 12 weeks apart over a total study duration of 52 to 55 weeks. The treatments involve injections of either Xeomin or placebo solution prepared with sodium chloride. Visits occur approximately every 4 weeks, totaling 14 visits: the first, last, and four treatment visits are on-site, while the other eight visits are remote via phone or video call. During the study, participants will keep headache diaries to track migraine and headache days. Researchers will focus on the change in monthly migraine days from baseline to six months after the first injection. Safety and effectiveness are monitored throughout, with frequent assessments during both on-site and remote visits to ensure accurate tracking of migraine symptoms and any side effects.

Researchers are evaluating the effect of Xeomin injections compared to placebo injections for preventing episodic migraine. This phase 3 clinical trial focuses on adults who experience episodic migraine, aiming to measure changes in the number of migraine days per month. Participants must have a diagnosis of episodic migraine for at least 12 months and meet specific headache frequency criteria. Participants will receive four treatments of either Xeomin or placebo injections into muscles of the head and neck, with treatments spaced about 12 weeks apart. The entire trial lasts approximately 52 to 55 weeks, beginning with a screening period of 4 to 5 weeks. There are about 14 visits in total, with the first, last, and four treatment visits conducted on-site, while the other visits are held remotely via phone or video. Throughout the study, participants will track their migraine days using a headache diary, and researchers will assess changes in monthly migraine frequency from baseline to six months after the first injection. Regular monitoring includes both in-person and remote assessments. The primary outcome focuses on the change in monthly migraine days between baseline and month six after treatment initiation.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of two combined treatments, KarXT and KarX-EC, for adults aged 55 to 90 who experience agitation related to Alzheimer's Disease. This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to better understand how these treatments may help reduce agitation symptoms in this population while monitoring safety. Participants will receive either the active drugs Xanomeline/Trospium Chloride Capsule and Xanomeline Enteric Capsule or a placebo, taken at specified doses on designated days. The study is carefully designed to compare these treatments against placebo to evaluate their impact on agitation symptoms associated with Alzheimer's Disease. During the study, participants will be assessed using the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory-International Psychogeriatric Association (CMAI-IPA) total score to measure changes from baseline at Week 14. Caregivers will be involved to help monitor compliance and report participant status throughout the study. Safety and efficacy will be closely monitored during this 14-week period to gather detailed information about treatment outcomes.

Researchers are evaluating an investigational drug called linvoseltamab in adults at moderate risk of developing multiple myeloma. This includes patients with precancerous conditions known as High-Risk Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (HR-MGUS) and Non-High-Risk Smoldering Multiple Myeloma (NHR-SMM). The study aims to understand how well linvoseltamab can eliminate abnormal plasma cells and improve laboratory signs related to these conditions. It is a Phase 2 dose-ranging and interception study focused on these specific patient groups. Participants receive linvoseltamab as directed by the study protocol. The treatment schedule and dosing details are determined per protocol to assess the drug's effects and safety. The study does not mention comparator groups, focusing solely on evaluating linvoseltamab. The study includes a safety observation period lasting 35 days to monitor adverse events and a long-term follow-up of up to 5.5 years to assess the achievement of complete response. During the study, participants are regularly monitored for side effects and treatment-emergent adverse events. Researchers measure how often these events occur and their severity during the 35-day safety period. They also evaluate whether participants achieve a complete response, as determined by the investigator, over up to 5.5 years. Blood tests and laboratory evaluations are conducted to track drug levels and immune responses, including antibody formation against linvoseltamab. The study involves ongoing safety and effectiveness assessments throughout the participation period.

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 studying the effects of two experimental drugs, pozelimab and cemdisiran, in adults aged 50 to 85 who have Geographic Atrophy (GA) caused by Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), a condition that affects central vision. The study aims to compare how quickly GA progresses in patients treated with cemdisiran alone, a combination of pozelimab and cemdisiran, or a placebo. Additional goals include monitoring possible side effects, measuring drug levels in the blood, and checking for antibodies that might reduce drug effectiveness or cause side effects. Participants receive subcutaneous injections of either pozelimab combined with cemdisiran, cemdisiran alone, or a placebo. The study is randomized, double-masked, and placebo-controlled, conducted at multiple centers. Treatment schedules and dosing are managed as described in the protocol, with vaccinations for meningococcal and pneumococcal infections required prior to participation. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular clinic visits where eye imaging using Fundus Autofluorescence (FAF) tracks the progression of GA lesion area over 52 weeks. Researchers also monitor safety, side effects, and immune responses, ensuring adherence to study procedures. The main outcome measured is the growth rate of the GA lesion area over one year, helping to evaluate the potential benefits and risks of the study drugs.

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.

Researchers are evaluating treatments for people with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are not candidates for or do not plan to have autologous stem cell transplant as initial therapy. The study compares the effectiveness of two new combination treatments: teclistamab with daratumumab and lenalidomide (Tec-DR), and talquetamab with daratumumab and lenalidomide (Tal-DR), against the standard treatment of daratumumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (DRd). This is a Phase 3 randomized study designed to assess which treatment better controls the disease. Teclistamab, talquetamab, and daratumumab are given as subcutaneous injections, while lenalidomide is taken orally. Dexamethasone can be given either orally or by intravenous injection. Participants receive one of the three treatment combinations as assigned by the study. The treatments are administered regularly over the study period, with close monitoring and follow-up to evaluate outcomes. The study includes up to 9 years of follow-up to track disease progression and survival. Participants will undergo regular assessments including monitoring for disease progression and treatment response. Key measures include progression-free survival from the time of randomization and the presence of minimal residual disease-negative complete response at 12 months. Safety and tolerability are also tracked throughout the study. Total participation time includes treatment and extended observation to assess long-term outcomes and side effects.

This research aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of telitacicept in treating generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG), an autoimmune disease where autoantibodies disrupt nerve-to-muscle communication, causing muscle weakness that worsens with activity. The study addresses the challenge of limited effective therapies for this condition. Telitacicept is a fully human fusion protein designed to block specific immune system signals that promote B-cell growth and maturation, potentially reducing autoimmune symptoms in gMG. The study is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with an open-label extension. Participants will receive subcutaneous injections of either telitacicept or placebo. The study includes a 4-week screening period, a 24-week double-blind treatment phase, a 48-week open-label extension, followed by a variable-duration extended open-label extension until telitacicept is approved or development ends, and an 8-week end-of-study follow-up. Participants will undergo assessments including the Myasthenia Gravis-Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) score to measure changes in daily functioning by Week 24. The study also monitors safety and efficacy over the treatment and extension periods. Throughout the trial, various clinical evaluations will be conducted to track disease status and response to treatment, ensuring comprehensive monitoring of participant health and outcomes.
