Researchers are conducting a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HBS-301 in adults aged 18 years and older with narcolepsy. The study focuses on treating excessive daytime sleepiness EDS, cataplexy, sleepinesswakefulness, and fatigue in participants diagnosed with narcolepsy. Approximately 258 participants will be included in this trial. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either HBS-301 tablets or matching placebo tablets once daily in the morning upon waking. The study includes a ScreeningBaseline period lasting up to 28 days, followed by an 8-week Double-blind Treatment period. After this, participants may choose to enter a 1-year Open-label Extension period where they will receive HBS-301. Finally, a 30-day safety follow-up will monitor participants after treatment ends. Throughout the study, participants will undergo various assessments including evaluations of daytime sleepiness using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, cataplexy frequency, wakefulness through the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test, fatigue levels, cognitive complaints, quality of life, and work productivity. Safety will be monitored by tracking adverse events and pharmacokinetic measurements. The total study participation may last up to approximately 16 months including all phases.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of different doses of a new medicine called NNC0519-0130 in people living with chronic kidney disease, some of whom have type 2 diabetes and are overweight or obese. This Phase 2 study also compares NNC0519-0130 to semaglutide, an already prescribed medicine, and a placebo to see how they may improve kidney function. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive once-weekly subcutaneous injections of NNC0519-0130 with a fixed dose escalation until reaching a maintenance dose, semaglutide with a similar dosing schedule, or a placebo matching NNC0519-0130. The treatment period lasts up to 43 weeks with several dosing schemes and groups. During the study, participants will have their kidney function monitored through urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio changes at weeks 12, 24, and 36. Other assessments include estimated glomerular filtration rate, body weight changes, waist circumference, blood pressure, and glycated hemoglobin levels. Safety will be evaluated by tracking adverse events throughout the trial duration. Participants will be regularly assessed to understand the medicines effects and safety.

Amblyopia is a common cause of reduced vision in one eye among children and young adults, affecting between 1% to 5% of this population. It often results from untreated differences in vision between the eyes or eye misalignment, and can impact various visual functions including depth perception and reading ability. Researchers are using a patient registry to collect real-world data on Luminopia, an FDA-approved device that offers a new dual action treatment for amblyopia, to understand how it is used by eye care professionals and its effects in everyday practice. This study observes patients who have been treated with Luminopia, a medical device that uses therapeutic software to stimulate vision in the affected eye. The registry collects clinical information over time without altering the standard care these patients receive. By gathering data at multiple points including 3, 6, 12, and 24 months, researchers aim to track changes in visual acuity, stereoacuity, treatment adherence, and treatment duration. Participants provide clinical data through their regular follow-up visits while undergoing Luminopia treatment. Researchers monitor vision improvements and durability of results after stopping treatment using standard clinical assessments. The study also analyzes outcomes based on factors like prior treatments, type and severity of amblyopia, age, and adherence levels. This comprehensive observation will help answer important scientific questions about the long-term real-world use of Luminopia therapy.

Researchers are evaluating whether adding zilebesiran to standard antihypertensive treatment can reduce major cardiovascular events in adults with hypertension that is not well controlled and who either have established cardiovascular disease or are at high risk for it. This phase 3, randomized, double-blind study aims to determine if zilebesiran lowers the risk of cardiovascular death, heart attacks, strokes, or heart failure events compared to placebo. The study will continue until a targeted number of these events have occurred, which may take up to about 5 years. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either 300 mg of zilebesiran or a placebo, both given as subcutaneous injections every 6 months, alongside their usual blood pressure medications. The study uses a parallel design and includes careful monitoring of blood pressure and cardiovascular events over time. Both groups will continue their standard antihypertensive therapies, including at least two medications where one must be a diuretic. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed for cardiovascular events such as heart attacks, strokes, heart failure hospitalizations, and cardiovascular death. Blood pressure measurements will be taken at baseline and at 6 months, among other times. The primary outcome is the time until the first occurrence of a major cardiovascular event, with secondary outcomes including changes in blood pressure and other cardiovascular events. Participants will be followed for up to approximately 5 years to monitor these outcomes and overall survival.
