Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of licaminlimab eye drops compared to a placebo vehicle in adults with Dry Eye Disease DED who have a specific TNFR1 genotype. This study is a phase 2b3, double-masked, randomized, vehicle-controlled trial aimed at understanding how licaminlimab affects symptoms of dry eye in this particular group. Participants first undergo a run-in period using artificial tear drops three times daily for about 14 days. Following this, they are randomly assigned to receive either licaminlimab eye drops or a placebo vehicle, both administered three times daily for 29 days. The study compares these two treatments to assess their impact on dry eye discomfort. During the study, participants eye discomfort severity is measured at the start and after 29 days of treatment, focusing especially on those with the specific genotype. Additional assessments include overall symptom changes regardless of genotype. The study tracks safety and effectiveness over this period, with the total participation lasting approximately 43 days including the run-in and treatment phases.

Researchers are exploring new treatment options for neovascular age-related macular degeneration NVAMD, a condition affecting the eyes. This trial aims to compare a new medicine called tiespectus also known as MK-8748 or EYE201 with the standard treatment aflibercept to see if tiespectus works as well in treating NVAMD. The study includes adults aged 50 and older who have not previously received treatment for this condition. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups tiespectus low dose, tiespectus high dose, or aflibercept. Those in the tiespectus groups will receive three initial injections every 4 weeks, followed by injections every 8 weeks up to week 48. After week 48, treatment will continue at intervals based on individual response until week 92. The aflibercept group will receive three initial injections followed by injections every 8 weeks until week 92. During the study, participants will have their vision tested using the Best-Corrected Visual Acuity BCVA score and their eye structure examined with imaging techniques. Researchers will monitor changes in vision over one year and track any side effects up to approximately 96 weeks. Participants will attend regular visits for treatment and assessments throughout the study period lasting about 92 weeks.

This research investigates intravitreal EYE103 in adults with neovascular age-related macular degeneration NVAMD or macular edema caused by branch retinal vein occlusion BRVO. The trial is randomized and dose-masked, including four different patient groups to study different doses and combinations of EYE103, aiming to assess its effects in these eye conditions. Participants are divided into four cohorts treatment-naive NVAMD, incomplete responders IR with NVAMD as monotherapy, IR NVAMD combined with aflibercept, and treatment-naive BRVO. Each cohort randomly receives either a low or high dose of EYE103 via intravitreal injection. All receive three injections spaced 4 weeks apart the IR NVAMD combination group also receives aflibercept on Day 1. Assessments occur at each injection visit and some groups return 2 weeks post-injection for extra evaluations. During the 12-week study, participants undergo safety and efficacy assessments including vision tests using ETDRS charts, slit-lamp exams, fundoscopy, and imaging with spectral domain optical coherence tomography SD-OCT to measure retinal thickness. The studys main measure is the change in best-corrected visual acuity at Week 12. The trial also monitors retinal thickness and vision changes throughout. The Week 12 visit marks the studys end for all participants.

Researchers are studying the use of unlicensed cryopreserved cord blood units CBUs for transplantation in both children and adults with blood cancers and other related disorders. This observational study involves patients with hematologic malignancies and various inherited and acquired disorders affecting the blood and immune system. The main goal is to monitor how well neutrophil recovery occurs after transplantation using these unlicensed CBUs in multiple institutions. Participants receive unlicensed cryopreserved CBUs as part of their transplant treatment. The study includes patients of any age receiving these CBUs for approved indications. The protocol focuses on the access and distribution of these unlicensed units rather than a specific treatment intervention. The study gathers data from recipients who receive these CBUs, tracking outcomes after transplantation. Participants are monitored for neutrophil recovery at 60 and 100 days after transplant, defined by a neutrophil count of at least 500mm3. Researchers also collect information on infection transmission, infusion reactions, survival rates at one year, and incidence of acute and chronic graft versus host disease. Platelet recovery is also evaluated. Safety and efficacy outcomes are followed over time to better understand the effects of unlicensed CBUs in this patient population.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and effects of CS-1103 given by intravenous infusion in healthy adults aged 18 to 55 years. The study involves a clinically relevant dose of fentanyl followed by naloxone blockade to better understand how CS-1103 interacts in this setting. This Phase 2 trial aims to collect important data on how the drug behaves in the body and its safety profile under these conditions. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups one group receives naloxone followed by fentanyl and then a placebo saline, while the other group receives naloxone followed by fentanyl and then CS-1103 1,000 mg by intravenous infusion. The study uses a parallel design and is quadruple-blinded, meaning participants, caregivers, investigators, and outcome assessors do not know group assignments. During the study, participants are monitored closely for adverse events through physical exams, vital signs, ECGs, and laboratory tests over 3 days plus follow-up on day 10. Blood and urine samples are collected to measure drug concentrations and fentanyl excretion over 48 hours. The research team also evaluates effects on heart rhythm and naloxone levels. The total study participation lasts through primary outcome assessment by month 7, with full study completion by month 10.

Researchers are studying the safety and effectiveness of intravitreal KSI-101 injections in adults with macular edema caused by inflammation, called Macular Edema Secondary to Inflammation MESI. This Phase 3 clinical trial aims to evaluate how well KSI-101 works compared to a sham injection in improving vision for people with this condition. Participants will receive one of three treatments KSI-101 at 5 mg or 10 mg doses injected into the eye every 4 weeks for six months, followed by dosing tailored to individual needs, or a sham injection following the same schedule. The study is randomized, double-masked, and controlled to ensure unbiased results. During the trial, participants will undergo vision tests to measure changes in best-corrected visual acuity BCVA over 24 weeks. Researchers will monitor safety and treatment effects throughout the study. The trial is expected to run until November 2027, with participants receiving regular assessments and follow-ups to track their eye health and response to treatment.
