Researchers are evaluating a new care strategy for people at increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ASCVD but without symptoms. The study compares a Cleerly Coronary Artery Disease CAD Staging System-based care approach against the usual risk factor-based care to see if it better reduces cardiovascular events. This pragmatic, randomized trial addresses the need for improved methods to identify and personalize treatment for asymptomatic individuals at risk due to age, diabetes, prediabetes, or metabolic syndrome. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. The risk factor-based care group receives usual care managed by their providers, while a cardiology team monitors and supports guideline-based treatment without revealing certain imaging results during the study. The Cleerly stage-based care group gets personalized management from a remote cardiologist-led team using the Cleerly CAD Staging System, which includes imaging to assess coronary atherosclerosis and guides pharmacotherapy and education. Treatment intensity may increase if plaque worsens after 24 months. During the study, participants will have assessments to monitor heart health and treatment adherence over an average of 3.5 years. Researchers will measure cardiovascular events and other related health outcomes to compare the two care strategies. The study involves ongoing medication monitoring, lab tests, and feedback to optimize prevention, with the goal of improving personalized care for cardiovascular risk management.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of obexelimab in adults with systemic lupus erythematosus SLE, a chronic autoimmune disease. This phase 2, randomized, double-blind study includes participants diagnosed with SLE for at least 24 weeks who meet specific disease activity criteria based on established lupus assessment scores. The study is sponsored by Zenas BioPharma USA, LLC and aims to better understand how obexelimab affects lupus symptoms and immune activity. The study involves a 24-week treatment period where participants receive either obexelimab or a placebo through weekly subcutaneous injections. Prior to treatment, a screening period up to 28 days confirms eligibility. After the treatment period, there is a 12-week follow-up phase. All participants continue their standard lupus care with nonbiologic therapies such as corticosteroids, antimalarials, or immunosuppressants. Scheduled visits occur at weeks 2, 4, and every 4 weeks thereafter during the treatment phase. During the study, participants will undergo assessments for lupus disease activity, safety, drug levels, immune responses, and potential side effects.
