This research aims to better understand the long-term safety risks of lonapegsomatropin in children with growth hormone deficiency who are treated with this medication in real-world settings. The study focuses on patients aged 1 to 18 years and is conducted in Europe and the USA. It is designed as a prospective, non-interventional, long-term safety study following the drug's approval for use. Participants continue their regular treatment with lonapegsomatropin without any additional interventions from the study. The study does not involve changes to their therapy but observes patients who are already receiving lonapegsomatropin. Eligible participants are pediatric patients clinically managed with this medication, and the study follows them over time to monitor safety outcomes. Throughout the study, researchers will track the occurrence of benign, malignant, and unspecified tumors as well as the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus over a period of five years. Participants provide informed consent and agree to follow-up requirements, which include regular monitoring and data collection to assess these outcomes. The study aims to provide important safety information about lonapegsomatropin in its post-marketing use.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of a medicine called disitamab vedotin for adults with advanced breast cancer that is hard to treat and has spread in the body. This study focuses on participants whose tumors express HER2 and who have received previous treatments for their advanced breast cancer. The goal is to understand how well this medicine works and its safety in these patients through a Phase 1b/2 open-label study. All participants will receive disitamab vedotin intravenously (IV) once every two weeks at the study clinic. They will continue the treatment until they or their doctor decide to stop, which could be due to cancer progression, side effects, or personal choice. During treatment, study visits occur every two weeks. After stopping treatment, participants will have follow-up visits about every six weeks, and later follow-up phone calls approximately every twelve weeks. Participants will undergo evaluations including assessments of their cancer response by the study doctors, following recognized criteria. The study team will monitor the participants for up to about two years or until their disease progresses or they pass away. This includes safety monitoring and collecting information about the medicine’s effects to determine its safety and effectiveness.

Researchers are conducting a Phase 3 multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to assess the safety and effectiveness of navenibart in preventing attacks in adults and adolescents with type 1 or type 2 hereditary angioedema (HAE). This study compares navenibart to a placebo to determine its ability to reduce the frequency of HAE attacks. Participants will receive either navenibart or a placebo as subcutaneous injections. The study treatment period lasts for 6 months, during which the number of investigator-confirmed HAE attacks will be tracked and analyzed to evaluate the treatment's impact. During the trial, participants will be closely monitored for HAE attack frequency and safety. Researchers will collect data on the number of attacks from Day 1 through Day 181 to measure treatment efficacy. Safety assessments will also be conducted throughout the study to ensure participant well-being.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) happens when stomach acid or food repeatedly flows back into the esophagus, causing discomfort like heartburn and pain in the stomach, chest, or throat. This condition can affect people of all ages, including children. This research is focused on children aged 2 to 11 years who have symptomatic nonerosive GERD, which means they experience GERD symptoms without damage to the esophagus. The study aims to assess if different doses of the drug dexlansoprazole, adjusted based on body weight, can help relieve these symptoms in children. Participants in this study will receive daily oral doses of dexlansoprazole capsules in one of three amounts: 15 mg, 30 mg, or 60 mg. Children weighing 30 kilograms or less will be randomly assigned to take either 15 mg or 30 mg, while those weighing more than 30 kilograms will be assigned to 30 mg or 60 mg. The medication is taken once daily at the same time throughout the 12-week treatment period. The study will include up to 70 children across multiple centers worldwide. Children and their caregivers will keep an electronic diary to record any heartburn symptoms during the study. The research team will conduct multiple clinic visits over a period of up to 16 weeks, including up to 4 weeks for screening before treatment and a follow-up phone call 5 to 10 days after the final dose. The main outcome measured is the percentage of days without hurting or burning in the stomach, chest, or throat during the 12 weeks of treatment, alongside monitoring for side effects.

Researchers are evaluating two treatment combinations for patients with melanoma that has spread to the brain and has a specific BRAF-V600 mutation. This phase II trial compares encorafenib, binimetinib, and nivolumab against ipilimumab and nivolumab to determine which approach better controls and shrinks brain metastases from melanoma. The study also aims to assess overall survival, response rates, treatment duration, and side effects of each regimen. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives encorafenib orally once daily, binimetinib orally twice daily, and nivolumab intravenously every 28 days. The other group receives nivolumab intravenously and ipilimumab intravenously during the first four cycles, with cycles every 21 days initially, then every 28 days thereafter. Treatment continues unless the disease worsens or side effects become unacceptable. After treatment ends, participants have follow-up visits every six months for two years, then yearly until three years after starting the study. During the trial, participants undergo brain MRIs to monitor tumor response using standardized criteria. Imaging, tumor tissue, spinal fluid, stool, and blood samples are collected for research. Safety and effectiveness are carefully assessed through scans, physical exams, lab tests, and side effect monitoring. Progression-free survival up to three years after randomization is the main outcome. Participants remain in the study for about three years with periodic evaluations to track their health and disease status.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of the medicine PF-07248144 combined with fulvestrant for treating hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer. This type of breast cancer involves cancer cells that grow in response to hormones like estrogen and progesterone but have little or no HER2 protein. The study focuses on people whose breast cancer worsened after treatment with cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor therapy. The trial is a phase 3, open-label, randomized study comparing PF-07248144 plus fulvestrant to other therapies chosen by doctors. Participants will receive either PF-07248144 tablets daily at home in 28-day cycles combined with fulvestrant injections at the clinic, or the usual treatment of everolimus tablets with endocrine therapy (either exemestane or fulvestrant). The study doctor will help decide the hormone therapy before starting treatment. The trial compares the experiences of those taking PF-07248144 plus fulvestrant with those receiving standard treatments to assess safety and effectiveness. During the study, researchers will monitor participants for disease progression or death, using blinded independent central review based on standard tumor response criteria. The main outcome measure is progression-free survival for up to about 2 years from randomization. Regular assessments, including clinical visits for injections and evaluations, will help track treatment effects and safety throughout the study.

Researchers are evaluating a new medicine called PF-08634404 combined with chemotherapy for people aged 18 and older who have locally advanced or metastatic gastric, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal adenocarcinoma. The study includes participants who have not received prior treatment for advanced or metastatic disease and are in good health based on medical tests. This research is designed as a Phase 2/3 trial to learn about safety, response, and compare this new treatment to an approved therapy called nivolumab plus chemotherapy. The study has two parts: the first part assesses the safety and response to PF-08634404 with chemotherapy, and the second part compares this combination to nivolumab with chemotherapy. Treatments are given intravenously in repeated cycles. Participants receive either PF-08634404 plus chemotherapy or nivolumab plus chemotherapy based on the study phase and group assignment. During the study, participants undergo regular evaluations including medical tests to monitor organ function and safety. Researchers will measure treatment response using RECIST 1.1 criteria, track adverse events, and assess progression-free survival and overall survival over approximately four years. Follow-up continues through 90 days after the last treatment to monitor side effects and overall health.

This research aims to gather long-term evidence on how effective and safe SKYTROFA (lonapegsomatropin) is for patients with growth hormone deficiency during regular clinical care in the United States. The study is designed as a multi-center, prospective, non-interventional trial, focusing on patients who are already receiving treatment with SKYTROFA. Patients will continue their treatment as part of their routine clinical practice without any additional visits, tests, or examinations beyond their usual care, except for completing questionnaires related to clinical outcomes. No new interventions will be introduced, allowing researchers to observe the natural course of treatment and patient outcomes over time. Throughout the study, researchers will monitor the safety and effectiveness of SKYTROFA treatment for up to five years. Data will be collected from routine clinical visits and patient-reported outcomes to assess how well the treatment works and its safety profile. This long-term observation will help understand treatment impacts during everyday medical care.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of cannabis and cannabinoid use on cancer-related symptoms in adults newly diagnosed with breast, colorectal, melanoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or non-small cell lung cancer. This study focuses on patients who are planning to receive or have recently started systemic cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting PD-1, PD-L1, or CTLA-4. The goal is to understand how cannabis use may be associated with symptom changes over time. Participants are enrolled in a non-interventional study where no experimental treatment is given. They complete surveys about their symptoms and cannabis use, and their medical records are reviewed regularly. The study tracks cancer-related symptoms monthly for up to 12 months after enrollment, allowing researchers to observe symptom patterns during ongoing cancer treatment. An optional substudy is available at select sites for patients with non-small cell lung cancer receiving paclitaxel and ICIs. During the study, participants complete online surveys in English or Spanish at their convenience, either at home or in clinic. Medical records are examined to gather information on treatments and health status. The main outcome measured is cancer-related symptoms, assessed monthly for one year. Safety monitoring includes ensuring participants have an expected life expectancy of at least six months and are not enrolled in hospice. The study aims to enroll 2000 patients across multiple sites in the United States.

The goal of this trial is to determine the efficacy of advanced cognitive training for cancer survivors suffering from cancer- and cancer-treatment-related cognitive dysfunction. For millions of cancer survivors, cognitive dysfunction is a prevalent, severe, and persistent problem that has long been associated with poor work-related and health-related outcomes. Evidence suggests that a significant subset of breast cancer survivors (BCS) incur cognitive changes that may persist for years after treatment. Unfortunately, the scientific basis for managing these cognitive changes is extremely limited. Available evidence from pilot studies, including our work, suggests that advanced cognitive training, which is based on the principles of neuroplasticity (ability of brain neurons to re-organize and form new neural networks), may be a viable treatment option. However, previous trials to date have been limited by lack of attention-controlled designs, small samples of BCS, or limited outcome measures. Therefore, to overcome limitations of past studies and build on our pilot results, the purpose of this 2-group, double-blind, randomized controlled trial is to conduct a full-scale efficacy trial to compare advanced cognitive training to attention control in BCS.
