Researchers are evaluating mavorixafor, a drug being studied for people aged 12 and older who have congenital or acquired primary autoimmune and idiopathic chronic neutropenic disorders. These conditions cause low neutrophil levels and lead to recurrent or serious infections. The study aims to show if mavorixafor can improve clinical outcomes and increase neutrophil counts, while also assessing its safety and tolerability. Participants will continue their current treatment during the study, which may include therapies like granulocyte-colony stimulating factor G-CSF, immunoglobulin replacement, antibiotics, or no active treatment. They will be randomly assigned to receive either mavorixafor or a placebo orally once daily for up to 52 weeks. The study uses a quadruple-blind design to compare these groups in parallel. During the trial, participants will have regular assessments to monitor infection rates and severity, neutrophil counts, antibiotic use, oral ulcers, and fatigue levels using questionnaires. An independent committee will review infections to ensure accuracy. Safety and treatment effects will be followed throughout the 52-week treatment period. The total participation may last until the study ends in late 2027.

Researchers are studying chronic myeloid leukemia CML, a rare blood cancer, in children and adolescents under 18 years old. This international observational study aims to better understand the characteristics, treatment approaches, and prognostic factors of pediatric CML. It also seeks to evaluate the long-term effects of treatments, especially tyrosine kinase inhibitors, on growth and development in this young population. The study collects both retrospective and prospective data from medical records and databases, without administering new treatments or interventions. Data gathered include demographic details, diagnosis information, treatment histories, and follow-up outcomes. National coordinating centers in participating countries gather anonymized patient data and send it to a central data center in France for analysis. Participants data are collected and updated twice yearly, with ongoing monitoring to describe patient characteristics and treatment policies. Researchers analyze survival, response to treatment, side effects, and long-term outcomes. The study is expected to continue for about five years, with results shared regularly with participating centers and published anonymously.

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.

This research aims to evaluate the effects of Seladelpar on clinical outcomes in adults with Primary Biliary Cholangitis PBC who also have compensated cirrhosis. The study is a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial focusing on treatment outcomes for this liver condition. It is sponsored by Gilead Sciences and seeks to understand how Seladelpar may impact disease progression and survival in this specific patient group. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Seladelpar or a placebo daily for up to 36 months. Those with CP-A cirrhosis will take 10 mg capsules of Seladelpar, while those with CP-B cirrhosis will take 5 mg capsules. The placebo group will take one capsule daily as well. This long-term treatment period allows researchers to compare outcomes between the two groups effectively. During the study, participants will follow a schedule of assessments to monitor their health and response to the study drug. Researchers will measure outcomes such as event-free survival, overall survival, liver transplant-free survival, and time to hospitalization over 36 months. Safety and laboratory parameters will be regularly evaluated to ensure participant well-being throughout the trial.
