Researchers are evaluating how well brenipatide LY3537031 is tolerated, its side effects, and its safety and effectiveness in adults with Irritable Bowel Syndrome-Constipation IBS-C. This Phase 2 study compares brenipatide given under the skin with a placebo to better understand its impact on IBS-C symptoms. The trial is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and lasts about 35 weeks. Participants will receive either brenipatide or a placebo, both administered subcutaneously. The study uses a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design with parallel groups. Treatment effects will be measured primarily between weeks 9 and 16, focusing on the weekly composite clinical response. Secondary outcomes include abdominal pain and bowel movement responses during the same period. During the study, participants will be monitored for safety and symptom changes. They will record abdominal pain scores daily and bowel habits using a stool form scale. Researchers will review these data along with other health assessments to evaluate the study drugs effects. The total participation duration is approximately 35 weeks, including screening, treatment, and follow-up periods.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, side effects, and effectiveness of brenipatide LY3537031 in adults with Irritable Bowel Syndrome-Diarrhea IBS-D. The study compares brenipatide administered under the skin with a placebo to understand its impact on this condition. This Phase 2 clinical trial involves participants aged 18 to 75 years. Participants will receive either the study drug brenipatide or a placebo through subcutaneous injections. The study follows a randomized, double-blind design where neither participants nor researchers know which treatment is given. Treatment and placebo administrations occur during the trial, which lasts approximately 35 weeks. During the study, participants will be monitored for how well they tolerate the drug and any side effects. Researchers will collect daily data on abdominal pain and stool consistency using an eDiary, focusing on responses between weeks 9 and 24. The primary measure is the percentage of participants achieving a daily composite response for at least half the days between weeks 9 and 16. Safety and efficacy outcomes are tracked throughout the trial period.

Researchers are evaluating a new blood test called Avantect to detect pancreatic cancer early in people aged 50 to 84 who were recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Pancreatic cancer is often deadly because it is usually found late. This study aims to see if the Avantect test can find signs of cancer sooner, allowing for earlier treatment and better chances of survival. The study is interventional and includes a large group of participants recruited from general practices over three years. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups the intervention arm or the control arm. Those in the intervention arm will have their blood samples tested with the Avantect test quickly, and if cancer markers are found, they will be informed and offered imaging scans like MRI or CT to check for pancreatic cancer. The control group will have their blood samples stored for possible future testing but will receive standard diabetes care. Blood samples and health outcomes will be tracked for three years. Each participant will attend three study visits over 12 months, providing blood samples and completing anxiety questionnaires. Researchers will monitor cancer diagnosis and mortality through registries for three years after consent. They will evaluate the tests sensitivity, specificity, and ability to detect cancer early enough for surgery. The study also measures predictive values and cancer resectability. This design helps understand the tests potential to improve pancreatic cancer detection in people with new diabetes diagnoses.
