Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of various new drug combinations, including novel agents combined with standard treatments, for people with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This open-label, multicenter trial focuses on sub-study 2, which examines rilvegostomig combined with standard platinum-based chemotherapy, with or without ramucirumab, in participants with advanced NSCLC. The study aims to identify optimal doses and expand cohorts to better understand treatment safety and tumor response. The trial involves two parts: Part A includes safety run-in groups to test different dose levels of rilvegostomig and establish the recommended Phase 2 dose if not already known. Part B expands to larger groups to assess treatment effects. Rilvegostomig and other study drugs such as cisplatin, carboplatin, pemetrexed, paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, and ramucirumab are given by intravenous infusion according to the study protocol. Sub-study 1 was canceled and will not take place. Participants will undergo assessments including tumor tissue sampling, disease measurement scans, and laboratory tests to monitor organ function and treatment effects. Researchers will track adverse events, serious adverse events, dose-limiting toxicities, and tumor responses over approximately 46 months. Safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity are key outcomes, with follow-up to ensure participant well-being and gather comprehensive data on these novel treatment combinations.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common heart rhythm disorder that can lead to serious complications like stroke and bleeding. Asian patients with AF tend to have higher rates of major bleeding, including bleeding in the brain, compared to non-Asian patients. This research focuses on understanding the use of blood-thinning medications called anticoagulants, especially newer drugs known as non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs), which are considered safer than warfarin but are less commonly used in Asian countries due to cost concerns. The study aims to track changes in how these medications are used and how they affect health outcomes over time. The study is a large, prospective observational registry conducted across 33 centers in Thailand, enrolling 3680 patients with non-valvular AF over two years. There is no intervention or treatment assigned by the study; instead, researchers observe patients' current treatments and outcomes. Participants will be followed every six months for a total of three years to monitor their use of warfarin and NOACs and record any serious events such as stroke, systemic embolism, major bleeding, heart attacks, heart failure, and overall quality of life. Throughout the study, patients will undergo regular assessments including clinical evaluations and monitoring of their medication use. The main outcomes measured over the three years include rates of using warfarin and NOACs, occurrence of ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack, systemic embolism, intracranial hemorrhage, and major bleeding events. This long-term follow-up aims to provide valuable information on treatment patterns and safety in Asian patients with atrial fibrillation.

Researchers are conducting a phase IIb, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tozorakimab in adults with uncontrolled asthma who are already receiving medium-to-high doses of inhaled corticosteroids. This study aims to find the appropriate dose range of tozorakimab for this population, focusing on those with documented asthma for at least 12 months and evidence of uncontrolled symptoms. Participants will receive either tozorakimab or a placebo, both administered subcutaneously. The study compares different doses of tozorakimab against placebo, while all participants continue their current medium or high dose inhaled corticosteroids combined with long-acting beta-agonists (LABA). The treatment period and dosing schedule are designed to assess the drug's impact on asthma control and exacerbations. During the study, participants will be closely monitored through asthma daily diaries, lung function tests including pre-bronchodilator FEV1 measurements, and assessments of asthma control using the ACQ-6 score. Researchers will track the annualized rate of severe asthma exacerbations over 26 to 52 weeks. Safety and adherence will be evaluated, and women of childbearing potential will have pregnancy testing and must use contraception as per local regulations. Overall participation will involve regular visits to assess health status and response to treatment.
