This research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the FloStent, a medical device used for treating men experiencing symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia BPH. The study compares the FloStent implant procedure to a sham procedure without deploying the device. It involves men aged 45 and older with symptomatic BPH to better understand how this device may impact urinary symptoms. Participants will undergo a flexible cystoscopy procedure. Those randomized to the treatment group will receive the FloStent implant during this procedure, while those in the control group will have the cystoscopy without the implant deployment, serving as a sham treatment. The study is randomized, double-blind, and includes parallel groups to compare outcomes over time. Throughout the study, participants will be assessed on changes in their International Prostate Symptom Score IPSS over 12 months. Researchers will monitor symptom improvements at 3, 6, and 12 months to evaluate response rates. Participants will complete study visits and follow the protocol to help researchers gather data on the devices safety and impact on urinary symptoms.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab monotherapy as the first-line treatment for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer mNSCLC whose tumors express high levels of PD-L1. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, multicenter global study focuses on patients with mNSCLC without certain genetic mutations who are suitable for this treatment approach. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. The study compares these two drugs over repeated treatment cycles as first-line therapy. Both treatments are biological agents given by infusion, and the study is designed to monitor their effects over up to approximately five years. During the trial, participants will undergo regular assessments including physical exams, imaging scans such as CT or MRI to measure tumor lesions, and laboratory tests to evaluate organ function. Researchers will closely monitor overall survival, progression-free survival, treatment response, duration of response, and patient-reported outcomes on physical functioning and quality of life. Safety and immunogenicity of rilvegostomig will also be evaluated. Participants are followed and assessed for up to five years to gather comprehensive data on treatment effects and long-term outcomes.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of a new medicine called CagriSema in helping adults living with obesity, with or without type 2 diabetes, to lose weight. This phase 3 clinical study compares two different weekly doses of CagriSema against an existing medicine, semaglutide. The study aims to understand how well these treatments support weight loss over a long period. Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to receive one of three treatments CagriSema at dose level 1, CagriSema at dose level 2, or semaglutide. Each treatment is given by weekly injection under the skin for 72 weeks. The study lasts about 83 weeks, covering treatment and follow-up periods to observe effects and safety. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor body weight, body mass index BMI, waist size, cholesterol levels, blood sugar control HbA1c, and quality of life. Researchers will track changes from the start of treatment to the end of 72 weeks, including weight loss milestones and health measurements. Safety will also be closely monitored through reports of any adverse events until the study ends.

Researchers are evaluating efruxifermin EFX in adults with non-cirrhotic nonalcoholic steatohepatitis NASH or metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis MASH who have liver fibrosis stage 2 or 3. This Phase 3, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of EFX compared with placebo. The trial includes about 1,650 participants divided into two cohorts based on liver biopsy characteristics and fibrosis stage.
