Researchers are investigating the frequency of Neuronal Ceroid Lipofusinosis Type 2 CLN2 in children aged 2 to 6 years who have nonspecific neurological symptoms such as idiopathic seizures, speech disorders, and motor dysfunctions. This multicenter, non-drug screening study focuses on children without hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, head trauma, or developmental brain anomalies, aiming to better understand the demographic and clinical features of those with possible CLN2 disease. Children first undergo assessments including recording demographic and medical history, seizure frequency, cognitive and language development evaluations, physical exams assessing muscle strength, gait, and coordination, as well as neurological evaluations using EEG and MRI scans. Those showing specific signs like speech disorder with seizures, movement problems, particular EEG responses, or MRI findings will have blood samples taken to measure Tripeptidyl Peptidase 1 enzyme levels. If enzyme activity is low, genetic testing is performed to investigate CLN2 disease. Participants are involved for up to one year during which various clinical, neurological, and imaging evaluations are done. Blood samples are collected for enzyme and genetic analyses. The main outcome measured is the frequency of CLN2 disease in this group. The study tracks each childs symptoms, neurological findings, and imaging results to better identify and understand CLN2 in children with these symptoms.

Researchers are conducting a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled phase I clinical study to compare HLX17 and US-sourced Keytruda in patients with resected non-small cell lung cancer, melanoma, or renal cell carcinoma. The study aims to evaluate how similar the pharmacokinetic profiles, efficacy, safety, and immune responses are between these two treatments in this patient population. Participants will receive either HLX17 or US-sourced Keytruda. Those in the HLX17 group will get 200 mg on Day 1 of every 3-week cycle for up to 12 months or until disease recurrence, death, new anti-tumor therapy, unacceptable toxicity, consent withdrawal, or study end. The Keytruda group will receive 200 mg every 3 weeks for 8 cycles 24 weeks, then switch to HLX17 on the same schedule until 12 months or similar conditions occur. During the study, participants will undergo various assessments including pharmacokinetic measurements such as drug concentration over time and at steady state, disease-free survival evaluation for up to 12 months, and monitoring for adverse events and laboratory abnormalities for up to 15 months. Safety follow-up includes vital signs, physical exams, ECGs, and immunogenicity evaluation. The total study duration includes treatment and safety monitoring phases.

Researchers are evaluating the combination of baxdrostat and dapagliflozin in people with chronic kidney disease CKD and high blood pressure hypertension. This Phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to assess whether this combination reduces the risk of serious kidney damage, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death compared to dapagliflozin alone. The study includes participants with CKD and hypertension who meet specific kidney function and blood pressure criteria. Participants who are not already taking SGLT2 inhibitors will first complete a 4-week dapagliflozin run-in period. Then, they will be randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat plus dapagliflozin or a placebo plus dapagliflozin. Baxdrostat dosing may start low and be increased if needed. Study visits will occur at 2, 4, 8, 16, 34, and 52 weeks after randomization, and then approximately every four months until the study ends, which is based on the number of key kidney or heart-related events. Throughout the study, participants will have regular assessments including blood tests to monitor kidney function and potassium levels, blood pressure measurements, and evaluations of heart and kidney health. If participants stop the blinded study drug early, they will continue dapagliflozin if possible and remain in the study for ongoing visits and monitoring. The main outcome is whether the combination treatment reduces the risk of a 50% sustained decline in kidney function, kidney failure, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death over up to 37 months.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of elecoglipron compared with placebo in adults who have type 2 diabetes mellitus T2DM with impaired kidney function. Participants are also on dapagliflozin 10 mg as part of their guideline-directed medical therapy for chronic kidney disease CKD, along with other glucose-lowering medications. This Phase III study aims to understand how elecoglipron performs in this specific group of patients. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups elecoglipron at dose level 1, elecoglipron at dose level 2, or placebo. All treatments are given orally once daily alongside background dapagliflozin 10 mg. The study uses a parallel design and includes a 40-week treatment period during which participants take their assigned medication. During the study, participants will have their blood sugar control measured through Hemoglobin A1c HbA1c levels from baseline to Week 40, which is the primary outcome. Additional assessments include body weight changes, blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, and time to needing additional diabetes medication. Safety and tolerability will be monitored throughout the study, which lasts up to 40 weeks for each participant.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of combining elecoglipron and dapagliflozin compared to each drug alone in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus T2DM who have not achieved adequate control through lifestyle changes or other glucose-lowering medications. This Phase III study aims to better understand how these treatments work together in managing blood sugar levels in this population. Participants are randomly assigned to one of five groups two groups receive elecoglipron at different dose levels combined with dapagliflozin two groups receive elecoglipron at different dose levels combined with a placebo matching dapagliflozin and one group receives dapagliflozin alone with a placebo matching elecoglipron. All medications are taken orally once daily. The treatment period lasts 40 weeks, during which the effects of the drugs on blood sugar and other health measures will be monitored. Throughout the study, participants will have regular assessments of their blood sugar control, body weight, and blood pressure. Researchers will measure changes in Hemoglobin A1c HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, and self-monitored blood glucose levels. Other outcomes include weight loss and the need for rescue medication. Safety and tolerability will be closely monitored. Participation in the trial lasts for 40 weeks, during which participants will attend scheduled visits for evaluation and medication monitoring.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of different doses of a new medicine called NNC0519-0130 in people living with chronic kidney disease, some of whom have type 2 diabetes and are overweight or obese. This Phase 2 study also compares NNC0519-0130 to semaglutide, an already prescribed medicine, and a placebo to see how they may improve kidney function. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive once-weekly subcutaneous injections of NNC0519-0130 with a fixed dose escalation until reaching a maintenance dose, semaglutide with a similar dosing schedule, or a placebo matching NNC0519-0130. The treatment period lasts up to 43 weeks with several dosing schemes and groups. During the study, participants will have their kidney function monitored through urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio changes at weeks 12, 24, and 36. Other assessments include estimated glomerular filtration rate, body weight changes, waist circumference, blood pressure, and glycated hemoglobin levels. Safety will be evaluated by tracking adverse events throughout the trial duration. Participants will be regularly assessed to understand the medicines effects and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of two different dose regimens of pegozafermin compared to a placebo in adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis MASH who have liver fibrosis stage F2 or F3. This Phase 3 study aims to better understand how pegozafermin may impact liver fibrosis and steatohepatitis in this population. Participants will receive subcutaneous injections of either one of two pegozafermin regimens or a matched placebo. These treatments are given in parallel groups, and participants are randomly assigned to one of the study groups. The study compares the effects of pegozafermin on liver fibrosis and steatohepatitis over a treatment period that includes evaluations up to 52 weeks and monitoring for disease progression up to 5 years. During the study, participants will be monitored through biopsies and blood tests to assess liver fibrosis improvement, resolution of steatohepatitis, changes in liver enzyme levels, and enhanced liver fibrosis scores. Safety and disease progression are also tracked throughout the study period. The total participation duration includes treatment and long-term observation to evaluate outcomes and any potential changes in liver health.

Researchers are evaluating elacestrant compared to standard endocrine therapies in adults with node-positive, Estrogen Receptor-positive ER, HER2-negative early breast cancer who are at high risk of cancer returning. The study focuses on those who have had prior endocrine therapy and aims to measure how well elacestrant may prevent invasive breast cancer recurrence over five years. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either 345 mg of elacestrant daily for five years or continue their prior standard endocrine therapy, which may include an aromatase inhibitor anastrozole, letrozole, or exemestane or tamoxifen. The trial is open-label, meaning both participants and researchers know which treatment is given. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor cancer recurrence, survival, side effects, and quality of life. Evaluations include questionnaires on health status and physical functioning at baseline, six months, and annually for up to five years. Safety is tracked through adverse event reporting up to five years plus 28 days. The total participation duration can last up to five years with ongoing monitoring and data collection.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of JNJ-78934804 compared to guselkumab in people with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis UC, a chronic condition where the colon lining becomes inflamed and develops ulcers. This Phase 3 study aims to measure clinical remission and other health improvements by Week 48. Participants receive an induction dose of either JNJ-78934804 or guselkumab at Weeks 0, 4, and 8, followed by maintenance doses every 4 weeks starting Week 12. Those meeting rescue criteria will receive additional induction doses of JNJ-78934804 at Weeks 16, 20, and 24, then maintenance doses every 4 weeks from Week 28. After completing the 48-week double-blind treatment phase, participants benefiting from the intervention may join a long-term extension phase. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for clinical remission, endoscopic improvement, corticosteroid-free remission, fatigue, abdominal pain, quality of life, and mental health responses. Safety is assessed by tracking adverse events up to about 3 years. The study involves randomized assignment and double-blinding, with all treatments given by subcutaneous injection. Participation may last up to several years including follow-up and extension phases.

Researchers are evaluating the addition of Saruparib AZD5305 to standard radiation therapy RT and androgen deprivation therapy ADT for men with high-risk or very high-risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer who have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. The study aims to determine if Saruparib improves metastases-free survival compared to placebo when added to these treatments. This phase 3 trial involves approximately 700 adult male participants. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either Saruparib or a matching placebo alongside physicians choice of ADT, with or without abiraterone and prednisoneprednisolone, depending on their cohort. Cohort A includes those receiving RT and continuous ADT, while Cohort B includes participants receiving RT, ADT, and abiraterone. Saruparib and placebo are administered orally. Treatment continues with close monitoring throughout the study. Participants will undergo scans including CT or MRI, bone scans, and PSMA-PET after their planned RT to confirm eligibility and monitor disease status. They will be followed for survival and disease progression for up to approximately 11 years. Researchers will assess metastasis-free survival, overall survival, prostate cancer-specific survival, biochemical recurrence, physical function, and urinary symptoms. Safety and drug levels will also be monitored. An independent committee will review safety and efficacy regularly throughout the trial.
