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.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and immune response of a dengue vaccine called Dengue Tetravalent Vaccine (TDV) in young children under 2 years old. The study focuses on infants and toddlers aged 6 to 21 months to understand how well the vaccine activates their immune systems and how safe it is for this age group. The trial is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to provide detailed information about TDV in early childhood. Participants will receive two doses of either the TDV vaccine or a placebo via subcutaneous injection, given three months apart. The vaccine is tested alongside a placebo to compare outcomes. The study involves eight clinic visits for vaccinations, blood draws, and health evaluations throughout the trial period. During the study, researchers will collect blood samples before and after vaccination to measure the immune response. They will monitor participants for local and systemic side effects within days and weeks after each vaccination, and track any medically attended or serious adverse events for up to about three years. The main outcomes include safety assessments and immune response levels against the four dengue virus types at day 120. Participants will be followed closely with health checks and laboratory tests to ensure comprehensive monitoring throughout the study.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of verekitug (UPB-101) in adults with moderate-to-severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a long-term inflammatory lung condition. This global, multicenter Phase 2b study aims to understand how well verekitug works compared to a placebo, alongside participants' usual COPD medications. Participants must have a confirmed COPD diagnosis and meet specific lung function and symptom criteria to join the study. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of two doses of verekitug or a matching placebo, in addition to their regular COPD background treatments. The study includes a screening period of about 4 weeks, followed by treatment lasting between 60 and 108 weeks. After treatment, there is a 16-week follow-up period to monitor participants after their last dose. Throughout the study, participants will undergo various assessments including lung function tests and symptom evaluations. Researchers will track the annual rate of moderate or severe COPD flare-ups from the start of treatment through week 108. Safety and tolerability will be closely monitored during the treatment and follow-up periods to ensure participants' well-being over the course of the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy of claseprubart (DNTH103) compared to placebo in adults with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) in this Phase 3 study. The goal is to assess how well claseprubart works in treating this condition, which involves nerve inflammation leading to muscle weakness and sensory problems. The study consists of multiple periods: Part A is an open-label phase lasting up to 13 weeks where all participants receive claseprubart. Those who respond move to Part B, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase lasting up to 52 weeks, where participants receive either claseprubart or placebo by infusion or injection. After Part B, eligible participants may join an optional open-label extension for up to 104 weeks. A safety follow-up period of 40 weeks follows the treatment phases. Participants will undergo various assessments including neurological evaluations and disease activity scoring. Researchers will monitor the time from the first dose to disease relapse as the main outcome. Additional safety and efficacy measures will be tracked throughout all study periods. Total participation may last over two years including extension and follow-up phases.

Researchers are comparing two surgical methods for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with bilateral primary osteoarthritis of the knee. This study aims to evaluate whether restricted kinematic alignment (rKA) offers better functional outcomes and lower pain scores than mechanical alignment (MA) in patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral TKA. Both procedures use robotic-assisted surgery (MAKO) to enhance precision during the operations. Participants will undergo simultaneous bilateral TKA, with one knee randomly assigned to receive restricted kinematic alignment and the other knee mechanical alignment. Both alignments are performed using the robotic-assisted MAKO system. This approach allows direct comparison of the two methods within the same patient. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored and assessed at multiple time points including 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after surgery. The primary outcome measured is the Forgotten Joint Score, which reflects how natural the joint feels during daily activities. Researchers will track functional outcomes and pain levels to determine which surgical alignment technique might improve patient quality of life after knee replacement.

This research aims to compare the effectiveness of two pain-relief medications, mirogabalin and pregabalin, in reducing pain after unilateral primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The study focuses on patients with osteoarthritis who undergo this surgery and evaluates which medication better manages postoperative pain over a six-week period. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: the mirogabalin group or the pregabalin group. Those in the mirogabalin group will take 5 mg of the drug twice daily, half a tablet after breakfast and dinner, for six weeks. Those in the pregabalin group will take 50 mg twice daily, one tablet after breakfast and dinner, also for six weeks. Both groups will receive these painkillers along with standard postoperative medications following surgery. During the study, participants' pain scores will be recorded every six hours for the first two days after surgery, then twice daily for the next two weeks, and once weekly up to 12 weeks after surgery. Researchers will monitor pain levels and functional outcomes after TKA to assess and compare the effects of the two treatments. The total participation period includes drug treatment and follow-up assessments lasting up to 12 weeks.

Researchers are evaluating the effect of tozorakimab, added to standard care, in adults hospitalized with viral lung infection who need supplemental oxygen. The study focuses on preventing death or progression to invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation by day 28. This is a Phase III, multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial comparing tozorakimab to placebo in patients with viral lung infection causing acute respiratory failure. Participants will receive a single intravenous dose of either tozorakimab or a matching placebo on the first day of the study. Both groups continue to receive standard care for their viral lung infection. The study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of tozorakimab as an add-on therapy in this patient population. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor participants for survival and the need for invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO up to 28 days after treatment. The main outcome measured is the proportion of patients who die or require mechanical ventilation or ECMO by day 28. Participants will be closely observed during hospitalization, with data collected on their respiratory status and treatment outcomes to evaluate the study drug's impact and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of baxdrostat combined with dapagliflozin compared to dapagliflozin alone in adults aged 40 and older who have type 2 diabetes, established cardiovascular disease, a history of hypertension with systolic blood pressure of at least 130 mmHg at screening, and at least one additional risk factor for heart failure. This Phase III randomized, placebo-controlled, event-driven study aims to determine if the combination reduces the risk of heart failure events or cardiovascular death, with follow-up lasting up to 38 months. Participants who meet screening criteria but are not currently treated with SGLT2 inhibitors or have been treated for less than 4 weeks will enter a run-in period receiving dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily for 4 to 6 weeks before randomization. The study involves random assignment to either baxdrostat plus dapagliflozin or placebo plus dapagliflozin. Site visits occur at approximately 2, 4, 8, 16, and 34 weeks after randomization, then every 4 months. Participants discontinuing the blinded study drug may continue open-label dapagliflozin, with ongoing visits and data collection as per protocol. Participants will undergo an optional pre-screening period without site visits or consent to help identify eligibility, followed by up to 14 days of formal screening after informed consent. Researchers will monitor heart failure events and cardiovascular deaths as primary outcomes. Safety and adherence will be tracked throughout the study, including during any premature discontinuation of blinded treatment. The study will conclude when a predetermined number of secondary endpoint events have occurred, with continued follow-up as needed.

Researchers are investigating the effectiveness of Saruparib (AZD5305) combined with a physician's choice of new hormonal agents (NHA) compared to a placebo plus NHA in men with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). This phase III study aims to demonstrate whether Saruparib plus NHA can improve radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) in two groups of participants: those with homologous recombination repair mutations (HRRm) and those without (non-HRRm). About 1800 adult male participants with mCSPC will be divided into two cohorts based on their HRRm status. Each cohort will be randomized equally to receive either Saruparib orally with their chosen NHA or a placebo orally with the chosen NHA. The new hormonal agents may include abiraterone acetate, darolutamide, or enzalutamide. Participants will continue their assigned treatment and undergo regular tumor evaluation scans until their disease progresses or treatment is stopped for other reasons. Throughout the study, participants will have tumor tissue and blood samples collected to confirm HRRm status and monitor disease. They will be followed for survival until the study ends. An independent data monitoring committee will review safety and tolerability of Saruparib plus NHA. The main outcome measured is radiographic progression-free survival, tracked for up to approximately 50 months, to evaluate how well the treatments control cancer progression.
