Researchers are conducting a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rilzabrutinib in adults with active Immunoglobulin G4-related disease IgG4-RD. The study aims to measure the time to the first adjudicated disease flare and assess other important outcomes such as flare-free rates, disease activity control, glucocorticoid use, and safety parameters including adverse events, laboratory tests, and electrocardiograms ECG. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups one receiving rilzabrutinib tablets and the other receiving placebo tablets, both administered orally. The treatment period lasts 52 weeks in a double-blind manner, preceded by a 4 to 6 week screening period. After treatment, there is a 2-week follow-up, with an optional open-label extension lasting up to 108 weeks. The study includes a total of 16 visits during the main period and up to 9 additional visits during the optional extension. During their participation, adults diagnosed with IgG4-RD will undergo repeated imaging procedures such as CT, MRI, PET, or ultrasound to assess disease status. Researchers will monitor disease flares, remission status, glucocorticoid dosage, clinical activity scores, laboratory values, vital signs, and ECG results. Safety monitoring continues up to week 160 to capture treatment-emergent adverse events. Overall, participation lasts up to 60 weeks, with possible extension for those continuing in the optional phase.

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 effectiveness of pegloticase administered by two different methodssubcutaneous under the skin injection versus intravenous into a vein infusioneach combined with methotrexate MTX in participants who have uncontrolled gout. The main goal is to compare how well these two treatment methods maintain normal serum uric acid levels over a six-month period. This Phase 3 trial is designed as a double-blind, randomized controlled study to provide reliable information on treatment responses.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and tolerability of NKX019, an investigational allogeneic CD19-directed CAR NK cell therapy, in adults with autoimmune diseases such as Lupus Nephritis and Primary Membranous Nephropathy. This Phase 12, open-label, multi-center study uses a dose escalation design to find recommended doses and assess preliminary effects, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. Participants undergo a treatment cycle starting with lymphodepletion using fludarabine and cyclophosphamide or cyclophosphamide alone if cytopenic, followed by three doses of NKX019. The study uses a 33 dose escalation to determine safe dosing and includes dose expansion cohorts. The treatment aims to evaluate the impact of NKX019 on autoimmune disease activity and kidney function. During the study, participants are closely monitored for dose-limiting toxicities, adverse events, and lab abnormalities from the first dose until follow-up. Researchers assess kidney response, disease activity scores, and drug levels in blood for up to two years after infusion. Immunogenicity and effects on background therapies are also evaluated. The total participation time varies based on follow-up assessments and treatment response.

Researchers are evaluating dotinurad, an oral drug, to lower serum uric acid levels in adults with gout who cannot tolerate xanthine oxidase inhibitors XOI or whose uricase treatment has failed. This Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to assess the drugs effectiveness and safety in this specific population. The primary goal is to see how many participants achieve a serum uric acid level below 6.0 mgdL at 24 weeks. Participants will be divided into two groups. One group will take dotinurad for 36 weeks, split into a 24-week initial period followed by a 12-week continuation. The other group will take a placebo for the first 24 weeks and then switch to dotinurad for the final 12 weeks. Dotinurad is given as an oral tablet, while the placebo capsules contain inactive ingredients. This design allows comparison of the drug against placebo and later observation of dotinurads effects. During the study, participants will have their serum uric acid measured at various points, especially at weeks 16, 20, 24, and up to week 40. Researchers will monitor treatment-emergent adverse events throughout the study period. Participants will be followed from screening through treatment and safety assessments, with the primary focus on uric acid levels at week 24. The total study duration for each participant covers screening and up to 40 weeks of follow-up.

Researchers are evaluating insulin icodec, a once-weekly insulin injection, compared to insulin glargine, a once-daily injection. This study focuses on adults with type 1 diabetes to see how well the weekly insulin controls blood sugar when combined with insulin aspart, which is taken 2 to 4 times daily. The trial aims to assess blood sugar control over about 8.5 months. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either insulin icodec once a week with insulin aspart daily or insulin glargine once a day with insulin aspart daily. Both insulins are given as subcutaneous injections. The study is designed as a parallel comparison to evaluate the effects of these insulin regimens on blood sugar control. During the study, participants will have regular assessments including blood tests to measure HbA1c and glucose levels, monitoring of hypoglycemic episodes, and tracking of insulin doses and body weight. The primary outcome is the change in HbA1c from baseline to week 26. Secondary outcomes include time spent in target glucose ranges and frequency of low blood sugar events. The study will last about 8.5 months with ongoing monitoring to evaluate treatment effects and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term effects of aleniglipron, a drug taken orally, in adults with overweight or obesity who also have type 2 diabetes mellitus T2DM. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study designed to assess the drugs effectiveness, safety, and tolerability over an extended period. The study focuses on the management of weight and diabetes in this population. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either aleniglipron or a placebo, all administered orally. The treatment period lasts for 76 weeks, during which participants will take multiple doses of the assigned medication. The study includes three different aleniglipron arms and one placebo arm, all aiming to evaluate weight change and diabetes control over time. Throughout the study, participants will undergo assessments to measure changes in body weight, waist circumference, HbA1c levels, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. The primary outcome is the percent change in body weight from the start of the study to week 76. Secondary outcomes include the proportion of participants achieving various levels of weight loss and diabetes targets. The study also monitors safety and tolerability during the treatment period, which lasts approximately 76 weeks.

Researchers are studying the effectiveness and safety of eloralintide in adults who are obese or overweight but do not have type 2 diabetes. This Phase 3 trial aims to understand how eloralintide affects body weight and related health measures over a long period. The study includes a main phase and an extension phase for those with prediabetes to evaluate ongoing effects. Participants are randomly assigned to receive one of four doses of eloralintide or a placebo, all given by subcutaneous injection once weekly. The main phase lasts about 75 weeks, and participants with prediabetes may continue in an extension phase for an additional two years. This structure allows researchers to assess both short-term and longer-term outcomes. During the study, participants will have regular visits to measure body weight, body fat, waist size, blood pressure, blood markers like triglycerides and insulin, and quality of life questionnaires. Safety and treatment effects are monitored throughout. The main outcome is the percent change in body weight from the start to week 64, with follow-up continuing up to week 191 for some. Overall participation can last up to several years depending on the participants health status.

Researchers are evaluating eloralintide, a drug given once weekly, in adults who have persistent obesity or are overweight, including those with or without type 2 diabetes. The study focuses on people who are already on stable incretin therapy, aiming to compare the effects and safety of eloralintide to a placebo over about 80 weeks. This phase 3 trial is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of four different doses of eloralintide or a placebo, all administered by subcutaneous injection. The treatment period involves weekly dosing, continuing through the study duration. The study uses a double-blind design, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives the drug or placebo. The main goal is to measure changes in body weight from the start to week 64, along with other health indicators. Throughout the study, participants will undergo various assessments including measurements of waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting glucose, insulin levels, and inflammatory markers. They will also complete questionnaires about their quality of life and eating behaviors. Researchers will monitor medication use and drug levels in the body to understand how eloralintide behaves. The total participation time is about 80 weeks, with safety and efficacy evaluations at regular intervals.

Researchers are evaluating LBP-EC01, a recombinant bacteriophage cocktail, in a Phase 2 study for women with acute uncomplicated urinary tract infections UTI caused by drug-resistant E. coli. The study aims to find the best dosing regimen and compare the treatments safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and effectiveness against placebo when combined with an antibiotic, trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole TMPSMX. Eligible participants must have an active acute UTI at the start and a history of prior UTI caused by antimicrobial-resistant E. coli. The study has two parts. Part 1 is an open-label dose regimen selection with 30 patients divided into three groups receiving different doses of LBP-EC01 via intraurethral and intravenous administration alongside oral TMPSMX over three days. Part 2 is a double-blind, randomized comparison of the selected LBP-EC01 dose regimen versus placebo, both with oral TMPSMX, in 288 patients. Treatment in Part 2 lasts three days, with doses given twice daily for TMPSMX and specified LBP-EC01 doses on days 1 to 3. Participants will provide urine, blood, and stool samples for microbiological and pharmacokinetic analyses. Researchers will monitor clinical symptoms, microbiologic responses, adverse events, and immunogenicity over several follow-up visits up to six months. The main outcomes include drug levels in urine and blood, symptom resolution, and microbiological cure by day 10. Safety and tolerability are also closely observed throughout the study.
