Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of a medicine called Ritlecitinib for adults with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa HS, a condition that causes long-lasting painful red lumps on the skin. The study focuses on participants who have not responded well to or cannot tolerate antibiotics for HS. This Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to understand how Ritlecitinib compares to placebo in treating this condition. Participants will be randomly assigned to take either Ritlecitinib or a matching placebo by mouth once daily at home. The study includes a loading dose of Ritlecitinib for the first 8 weeks, followed by a maintenance dose for the next 8 weeks, totaling 16 weeks of treatment. The placebo group will follow the same schedule with a pill that looks like the study medicine but contains no active drug. Throughout the study, participants will have about 10 clinic visits over approximately 24 weeks, including screening, Day 1, and follow-ups every 1, 2, or 4 weeks until Week 16. At these visits, health status will be reviewed through physical exams, blood and urine tests, vital signs, chest X-rays, ECGs, hearing tests, and questionnaires. Participants will also record daily medication intake and HS symptoms using a mobile eDiary. Researchers will measure skin response and safety outcomes to assess the effects of the study medicine compared to placebo.

Researchers are evaluating MDNA11, a long-acting beta-only recombinant interleukin-2 designed to activate immune cells that kill cancer while minimizing activation of immunosuppressive cells. This Phase 12 study aims to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and early anti-tumor activity of MDNA11 alone or combined with the checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors. The study is conducted at multiple sites with regulatory and ethical approvals and includes about 115 patients. The trial has several parts dose escalation and expansion for MDNA11 monotherapy and for its combination with pembrolizumab. MDNA11 is given intravenously every two weeks with doses adjusted to find the recommended dose for expansion. Tumor assessments using CT or MRI scans happen every 8 weeks to monitor response until disease progression or other study-end criteria occur. Treatment may continue beyond progression under certain conditions. Participants undergo evaluations including tumor imaging, laboratory tests, and safety monitoring over up to 24 months. Researchers measure recommended dose levels, treatment-related adverse events, pharmacokinetics, immune response, and anti-tumor activity such as response rates and progression-free survival. Patients can withdraw anytime, and safety follow-up continues to understand MDNA11s effects alone and with pembrolizumab.

Researchers are evaluating treatments for germinal center B-cell-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma GCB DLBCL, a fast-growing blood cancer affecting immature B-cells. The study compares two treatment combinations to see if more people respond to zilovertamab vedotin MK-2140 plus R-CHP versus polatuzumab vedotin plus R-CHP. This Phase 2 trial aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of these regimens in participants with newly diagnosed GCB DLBCL. Participants receive either zilovertamab vedotin along with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone R-CHP, or polatuzumab vedotin combined with R-CHP. Treatments are given by intravenous infusion on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for up to 6 cycles, approximately 4 months, with prednisone or prednisolone taken orally for 5 days of each cycle. For participants with high-risk DLBCL, up to 2 additional cycles of rituximab or biosimilar are given. During the study, participants are monitored for response to treatment using Lugano Response Criteria, with follow-up lasting up to about 31 months for the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes include progression-free survival, overall survival, event-free survival, duration of complete response, adverse events, and quality of life assessments. Safety and health status are regularly checked through exams, lab tests, and questionnaires over several years, with total study participation extending up to 7 years.

Researchers are evaluating the dose-response relationship of galvokimig compared with placebo in adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis AtD. The study focuses on participants who have had chronic AtD for at least one year and aims to assess how different doses of galvokimig impact the condition. This phase 2 trial is designed to better understand the drugs effects on symptoms and safety in this population. Participants are randomly assigned to one of several groups receiving different predefined doses of galvokimig or a matching placebo during an initial 16-week intervention period. After week 16, participants continue treatment with the same or a modified dose of galvokimig. The study uses a double-blind design to compare the effects of these doses on atopic dermatitis. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including the Eczema Area and Severity Index EASI, Investigator Global Assessment vIGA, and Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale PP-NRS. Safety is monitored through reported adverse events up to week 58. The primary outcome is the percentage of participants achieving a significant improvement in EASI score at week 16. The total study duration extends beyond 16 weeks to include ongoing safety and response evaluations.

This trial studies adults aged 50 to under 80 with mild or moderate calcific aortic valve stenosis and elevated lipoproteina levels. Researchers are assessing the safety, tolerability, and ability of pelacarsen TQJ230 given once monthly by injection to slow the progression of this heart valve condition. The study compares pelacarsen to a placebo in a randomized, double-blind design. Participants receive either pelacarsen 80 mg or a matching placebo as a subcutaneous injection monthly. They continue treatment and monitoring for up to 36 months to observe changes in heart valve narrowing and calcium buildup.
