The trial investigates the use of volrustomig in participants with unresected locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) who have not shown disease progression after receiving definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT). The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of volrustomig compared to observation in this patient population. Participants have tumors that express PD-L1 and the study is conducted as a Phase III, randomized, open-label, multi-center global trial. Participants are assigned to receive either volrustomig as sequential therapy following cCRT or to an observation group. The treatment period involves monitoring participants who have completed definitive cCRT but remain unresected and have no evidence of metastatic disease. The study focuses on participants with Stage III, IVA, or IVB LA-HNSCC according to AJCC criteria, who have not undergone tumor resection before cCRT and have not been treated with radiotherapy alone. During the study, participants are regularly evaluated for progression-free survival, with follow-up lasting up to approximately 8 years to assess long-term outcomes. Researchers will monitor safety and disease progression closely. The overall participation duration includes screening, treatment or observation, and extended follow-up to capture both efficacy and safety data over time.

Researchers are evaluating whether the medicine tenecteplase helps adults recover from an acute ischemic stroke when given more than 4.5 hours after they were last seen well. This study focuses on people who had a stroke caused by a clot blocking blood flow in the brain and who have imaging showing brain tissue that can still be saved. Participants should not be planning to receive a procedure to remove the clot and must have a pre-stroke disability level of 0 or 1 on the modified Rankin Scale. Participants are randomly placed into two groups. One group receives a single injection of tenecteplase into a vein, while the other group receives standard medical care. The study includes adults aged 18 and over who had an acute stroke or woke up with stroke symptoms more than 4.5 hours ago. Imaging with MRI or CT is used to confirm eligibility. The study lasts about three months, starting with a hospital stay of about one week. During the study, participants have seven clinical examinations or visits to monitor their recovery and health. The last two visits may be done from home to allow remote assessments. Researchers use the modified Rankin Scale to measure disability or dependence in daily activities at 90 days after treatment. They also monitor for any side effects or health changes to compare the effects of tenecteplase against standard care.

This research investigates the effectiveness and safety of combining capivasertib with CDK4/6 inhibitors and fulvestrant in adults with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer that is locally advanced, inoperable, or metastatic. It includes a Phase Ib dose-finding portion to establish safe dosages for the triple combination, followed by a Phase III study comparing this combination to CDK4/6 inhibitors plus fulvestrant alone. The study focuses on patients who have not received prior endocrine therapy for advanced disease and aims to assess added benefit in a high-risk population. During Phase Ib, participants receive capivasertib orally twice daily for 4 days followed by 3 days off each week, combined with fulvestrant injections and one of the CDK4/6 inhibitors (palbociclib, ribociclib, or abemaciclib) at varying doses to find the recommended dose for Phase III. In Phase III, participants are randomized to receive capivasertib plus fulvestrant and a CDK4/6 inhibitor at the established dose or fulvestrant plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor alone, with dosing schedules maintained over 28-day cycles. Participants undergo regular monitoring including scans for tumor assessment, blood tests, and safety evaluations over extended periods—up to 47 months for progression-free survival assessment. Researchers track adverse events, serious side effects, and treatment tolerability throughout. Mandatory tumor and blood samples are collected for biomarker analysis. The study evaluates key outcomes such as dose-limiting toxicities, treatment-related adverse events, and progression-free survival, supporting long-term safety and effectiveness evaluation.

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.
