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 safety, effectiveness, and pharmacokinetics of pumitamig (BNT327) combined with chemotherapy and other investigational agents in adults with first-line non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study includes two substudies based on NSCLC histological subtypes due to differences in chemotherapy treatments. This Phase 2/3, multisite, randomized, open-label trial aims to assess treatments in participants with advanced NSCLC who have not previously received systemic treatment. Each substudy has a Phase 2 part where participants are randomly assigned to one of two doses of pumitamig combined with chemotherapy drugs such as pembrolizumab, carboplatin, pemetrexed, or paclitaxel, given intravenously. The Phase 3 part will include independent data monitoring and blinded central review of tumor scans for all treated participants. The overall planned duration per participant is up to 64 months, covering both study parts and follow-up. Participants will undergo regular tumor assessments and monitoring for safety, including recording treatment-emergent adverse events, dose changes, and serious side effects up to 90 days after the last dose. Effectiveness will be measured by tumor response rates, changes in tumor size, and progression-free survival, with tumor imaging reviewed by a blinded independent committee. This long-term study involves careful evaluation of treatment impact and participant health over approximately five years.
