Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of a new medicine called NNC0487-0111 in people who have Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction HFpEF or Heart Failure with mildly reduced Ejection Fraction HFmrEF and excess body weight. This phase 3 clinical trial aims to find out if NNC0487-0111 is safe and effective for treating these conditions compared to a placebo. Participants have HFpEF or HFmrEF and a body mass index of 30 or above. The study is sponsored by Novo Nordisk AS and uses a randomized, quadruple-masked design. Participants will receive either NNC0487-0111 or a matching placebo by injection under the skin once a week. The NNC0487-0111 is given in increasing doses over time. The study is parallel in design, meaning participants are randomly assigned to one of the two groups and receive that treatment throughout the trial. This treatment period extends for up to about 165 weeks. The study evaluates the time to certain heart failure events, hospitalizations, cardiovascular deaths, and other major cardiovascular events. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly to assess heart failure outcomes and kidney function, as well as quality of life using questionnaires like the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire. Safety and effectiveness are assessed through hospital visits, heart failure event tracking, and blood tests including kidney function and blood sugar levels. The total participation spans over three years, with ongoing evaluations to measure the time to heart failure events and cardiovascular outcomes. Participants receive close medical monitoring throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating whether eptinezumab can reduce the number of days with episodic migraine in children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years. This Phase 3 clinical trial focuses on the preventive treatment of episodic migraine in pediatric participants using intravenous infusion. The study is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled to compare the effects of different doses of eptinezumab with a placebo. Participants will be assigned to one of three groups a single intravenous infusion of eptinezumab 300 mg adjusted for weight, a single intravenous infusion of eptinezumab 100 mg adjusted for weight, or a single intravenous infusion of a placebo matching eptinezumab. The dosing occurs once, and the study monitors results over subsequent weeks. This design allows for comparison of the medication against placebo to evaluate treatment effects in this population. During the study, participants and their caregivers will complete headache diaries to document migraine and headache days. Researchers will assess changes in the number of monthly migraine days over 12 weeks, response rates to treatment, headache duration and intensity, acute medication use, and disability related to migraine using questionnaires like the Pediatric Migraine Disability Assessment PedMIDAS. Blood samples will be collected to measure drug concentrations and antibodies. Safety and efficacy are monitored throughout the study period, which concludes approximately 12 weeks after dosing.

Researchers are evaluating whether eptinezumab can reduce the number of migraine days compared to a placebo in adolescents aged 12 to 17 with chronic migraine. This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind study aims to assess the preventive treatment effects of intravenous eptinezumab in this young population who experience frequent migraines. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive a single intravenous infusion of either eptinezumab 300 mg, eptinezumab 100 mg both doses adjusted by body weight, or a placebo. The study includes a 4-week screening period, followed by a 12-week double-blind treatment phase and an 8-week safety follow-up period. The doses are designed to target adult exposure levels based on weight. During the study, participants will complete a headache electronic diary to track migraine and headache days. Researchers will monitor changes in monthly migraine days over 12 weeks as the primary outcome. Additional assessments include migraine reduction percentages, medication usage, headache severity, disability scores, and blood tests for drug levels and antibodies. Safety and tolerability will be evaluated through the follow-up period, totaling about 24 weeks of participation.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety of eptinezumab in children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years who have chronic or episodic migraine. This phase 3 extension study includes participants who completed prior lead-in studies focused on migraine treatment in this age group. The study aims to monitor how well eptinezumab is tolerated over an extended period in young migraine patients. Participants receive eptinezumab intravenously in one of two dose groups, either 100 mg or 300 mg adjusted by weight. Those who were previously assigned to these doses in the lead-in studies will continue the same dose, while those previously on placebo will be randomly assigned to one of the two doses. Each participant receives three infusions at Weeks 0, 12, and 24 during the open-label extension period. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including safety evaluations, blood tests for drug levels and antibodies at multiple time points up to Week 44, and migraine disability questionnaires at Weeks 12, 24, and 36. The main outcome is the number of participants experiencing treatment-emergent adverse events. This study runs through April 2028, with ongoing monitoring to ensure participant safety and collect detailed data on treatment effects in this population.

Researchers are conducting an observational study to screen adults aged 18 and over who visit hospital outpatient clinics in Turkey for malnutrition and sarcopenia risks. The study focuses on patients attending oncology, neurology, and geriatric clinics to better understand these conditions across diverse patient groups. This non-interventional, cross-sectional design means participants are observed without receiving experimental treatments. Participants are screened once during their outpatient visit without any study treatments or interventions. The study collects information on malnutrition risk, sarcopenia risk, body mass index, calf circumference, hand grip strength, biochemical parameters, healthcare use, and nutrition treatments. Data is gathered on the screening day only. During the study visit, researchers will assess physical and biochemical measures to evaluate nutrition and muscle health. Participants provide informed consent before any assessments. The study measures malnutrition and sarcopenia risks as primary outcomes on the first day and includes several secondary measures related to body composition and healthcare use. The study will continue enrolling participants until April 2027.
