This research aims to evaluate whether creating dedicated HIV teams in hospitals across ten European countries can increase HIV testing rates among patients showing signs of HIV-related conditions. The study uses a stepped-wedge design, where hospitals switch from routine care to the new intervention in sequence. This approach compares outcomes before and after the teams are in place, helping to understand the impact of the intervention across various locations and medical specialties. The intervention involves establishing local HIV teams led by specialists and supported by nurses and data experts. These teams identify patients needing HIV tests through electronic health records, provide feedback to doctors to encourage testing, offer education to healthcare staff about HIV, reduce stigma, and improve connections to prevention and care services. This program integrates smoothly into regular hospital routines and aims to close gaps in HIV diagnosis. Participants HIV testing rates will be monitored by reviewing records before and after the intervention. Researchers will also assess new HIV diagnoses, changes in testing patterns by country and specialty, and healthcare professionals knowledge and attitudes toward HIV. The study includes ongoing evaluation of how well the teams operate, resource use, and cost-effectiveness. Data collection extends up to several years to observe long-term effects, with continuous monitoring of care access and prevention services.

Researchers are evaluating if combining the medicines calderasib and subcutaneous pembrolizumab can more effectively treat people with non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has a KRAS G12C mutation. The study aims to find out whether patients receiving calderasib with pembrolizumab live longer without their cancer growing or spreading compared to those receiving pembrolizumab with chemotherapy. This is a Phase 3 clinical trial focusing on first-line treatment for advanced or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC. Participants are assigned to one of two groups. One group receives subcutaneous pembrolizumab plus berahyaluronidase alfa every 6 weeks for up to 18 cycles about 2 years along with oral calderasib until treatment discontinuation criteria are met. The other group receives the same pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa regimen plus chemotherapy with pemetrexed and either carboplatin or cisplatin infusions during the early cycles. Treatment continues based on individual response and tolerability. During the study, participants will have regular visits for treatment and monitoring. Researchers will assess progression-free survival, overall survival, response rates, and quality of life using questionnaires and symptom scores over several years. Safety will be monitored through adverse event reporting. The trial lasts up to about 7 years with ongoing evaluation of health outcomes and side effects to understand the impact of these treatment combinations.

Researchers are studying treatments for locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer mCRC that cannot be removed by surgery and has a specific KRAS G12C gene mutation. This trial aims to evaluate if adding the targeted therapies calderasib and cetuximab to the standard chemotherapy regimen mFOLFOX6 can provide better outcomes compared to mFOLFOX6 with or without bevacizumab. The study focuses on the safety and tolerability of these combinations and whether they can help people live longer without their cancer growing or spreading. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive calderasib orally, cetuximab every two weeks, and mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy including oxaliplatin, leucovorin or levofolinate calcium, and 5-fluorouracil every two weeks. The other group will receive mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab every two weeks, based on the investigators decision. Treatments will continue until certain stopping criteria are met. During the study, participants will be monitored for side effects and treatment tolerance, with regular assessments of cancer progression. Researchers will measure outcomes such as dose-limiting toxicities, adverse events, progression-free survival, and overall survival. Quality of life will also be evaluated through questionnaires. The study may last up to several years, with monitoring continuing for safety and effectiveness throughout the treatment period and follow-up.

Researchers are evaluating molnupiravir, an oral medicine designed to stop the COVID-19 virus from multiplying, to see if it can prevent severe illness from COVID-19 in people at high risk of disease progression. The study focuses on adults with confirmed COVID-19 infection who are at increased risk due to age, medical conditions, or other factors. This is a Phase 3 randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial led by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either molnupiravir or a matching placebo. Those in the molnupiravir group will take 800 mg orally every 12 hours for 5 days, totaling 10 doses. The same dosing schedule applies to the placebo group. Some participants may also receive remdesivir as part of standard care if clinically appropriate. During the study, participants will be monitored for up to 29 days to assess outcomes such as hospitalization, death, or medically attended visits related to COVID-19. Safety will be evaluated by tracking adverse events and discontinuation due to side effects. Researchers will also measure symptom relief, viral RNA levels, and other health indicators. The study is expected to continue until January 2031.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for radiographic axial spondyloarthritis r-axSpA, a form of arthritis causing pain, stiffness, and swelling in the spine and pelvis joints. This condition shows visible damage on X-rays. The study aims to evaluate if different doses of the medicine tulisokibart can improve r-axSpA symptoms compared to a placebo, which helps measure the medicines effects accurately. Participants will be assigned to one of several groups receiving high, medium, or low doses of tulisokibart, or a placebo. The study includes a 16-week placebo-controlled phase. After that, participants receiving the low dose or placebo will be re-assigned to medium or high doses. Following this, there is a long-term extension lasting 124 weeks, which has a 40-week main extension and an 84-week optional extension, allowing continued treatment and observation. Throughout the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor symptoms and disease activity using various indexes and imaging scores. Researchers will track the percentage of participants who achieve improvement at week 16 and monitor safety by recording adverse events up to approximately 154 weeks. The study uses injections of tulisokibart or placebo under the skin and includes ongoing evaluations of physical function, pain, inflammation, and quality of life.

Researchers are evaluating new treatments for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that cannot be surgically removed and has a specific gene mutation called KRAS G12C. This trial aims to find out if the combination of calderasib MK-1084 and durvalumab can help participants live longer without their cancer growing or spreading compared to durvalumab with a placebo after they have completed chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either calderasib along with durvalumab or a placebo along with durvalumab. Calderasib is taken by mouth as a tablet, and durvalumab is given as an intravenous infusion. This study is double-blinded, meaning neither the participants nor the researchers know who receives the active drug or placebo. The treatment period will be followed by long-term monitoring. During the study, participants will have various assessments including survival monitoring up to approximately 9 years, evaluations of adverse events, response rates, and quality of life questionnaires. Researchers will also collect tumor tissue samples for biomarker analysis. The main measurement is progression-free survival, checked for up to about 6 years. Participants health and side effects will be closely tracked throughout and after treatment.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of a single intravenous dose of agenT-797 combined with standard of care SOC compared to placebo plus SOC in adults with severe pneumonia and moderate to severe acute hypoxemic respiratory failure AHRF. This trial includes a run-in phase and a double-blinded phase 2, designed to reduce short-term mortality and improve clinical outcomes in this serious condition. The trial consists of two parts an initial open-label Run-in Phase where participants receive agenT-797 plus SOC to characterize the baseline population, followed by a randomized, double-blinded Phase 2 where participants receive either agenT-797 plus SOC or placebo plus SOC. SOC includes antimicrobial therapy and corticosteroids based on applicable guidelines. Treatments are given as intravenous infusions. Participants will be monitored from Day 1 through Day 28 for outcomes such as mortality, oxygenation support-free days, ventilator-free days, ICU-free days, new infections, antibiotic-free days, and time to hospital discharge. Additional assessments include cytokine profile changes at baseline, Day 3, Day 7, and Day 14. The study continues monitoring mortality up to Day 90. Overall, participants undergo intensive evaluations, including safety and efficacy assessments, during the study period lasting until 2027.

This research aims to gather long-term safety and effectiveness information for people treated with ibrutinib, a medicine taken by mouth that blocks a specific enzyme called brutons tyrosine kinase. The study focuses on participants who previously took part in ibrutinib studies that have finished and are still receiving ibrutinib treatment, continuing to benefit from it. It is an open-label study, meaning both participants and researchers know the treatment being given. Participants will continue taking ibrutinib capsules daily at the dose they were given in their prior study until the doctor decides the treatment is no longer helpful due to disease progression or side effects, the participant chooses to stop, other treatment options become available, or the study ends. Safety will be monitored throughout, and effectiveness data may be combined with previous study results. No formal testing of hypotheses is planned in this extension. During the study, participants will be regularly monitored for safety and disease status. The main outcome is the number of participants experiencing side effects within 30 days after the last ibrutinib dose or before starting another cancer therapy. Participants may continue treatment until alternative access to ibrutinib is arranged or the study ends, which is planned for December 2029. Researchers will collect ongoing data to understand the long-term effects of ibrutinib treatment.
