Researchers are investigating the effects of APL-3007 combined with SyfovrePegcetacoplan APL-2 in patients with geographic atrophy caused by age-related macular degeneration AMD. This Phase 2 randomized, placebo-controlled study aims to assess the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics of these treatments in this eye condition. The study involves multiple centers and uses a masked design to ensure unbiased results. Participants will be assigned to one of three groups two receiving different doses or frequencies of APL-3007 in combination with pegcetacoplan APL-2, and one receiving a placebo along with pegcetacoplan APL-2. The study will evaluate the treatments given as multidose regimens. The treatments focus on complement C3 inhibition to potentially impact disease progression. Throughout the study, participants will undergo assessments including artificial intelligence-based imaging to measure retinal pigment epithelium lesion area and photoreceptor degeneration, safety evaluations through adverse event reporting and visual acuity tests, and blood tests to assess serum markers. These evaluations occur over 12 months to monitor changes from baseline. Participants involvement includes regular visits for these assessments, with the study tracking treatment effects and safety over the duration.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of KarXT combined with KarX-EC in adults aged 55 to 90 who experience agitation related to Alzheimers Disease. This Phase 3 study aims to understand how these medications impact agitation symptoms in this population, using recognized criteria to confirm Alzheimers diagnosis and agitation severity. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the combination of KarXT and KarX-EC or a placebo. Dosing is specified for certain days, and the study includes a 14-week treatment period during which agitation and other symptoms will be closely monitored. The study design includes a quadruple-blind method to reduce bias. During the study, participants and their caregivers will attend regular visits where the researchers will assess changes in agitation using tools like the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory and Clinical Global Impressions-Severity scale. Safety will also be carefully monitored through various assessments including vital signs, lab tests, ECGs, and movement scales. Participant involvement extends up to 18 weeks to capture any adverse events and treatment effects.

Researchers are evaluating the experimental drugs pozelimab and cemdisiran for treating Geographic Atrophy GA, a late stage of Age-related Macular Degeneration AMD that affects central vision. The study aims to compare the progression rate of GA in patients receiving cemdisiran alone, the combination of pozelimab and cemdisiran, or a placebo. Additional goals include monitoring side effects, drug levels in the blood over time, and the bodys antibody response to these drugs. Participants will receive subcutaneous injections of either pozelimab combined with cemdisiran, cemdisiran alone, or a placebo. The study is randomized and double-masked with three groups receiving different treatments. Treatment and monitoring will continue through specified time points up to 104 weeks, with follow-up on safety and antibody responses extending even further. During the study, participants will attend regular clinic visits for eye exams, imaging using Fundus Autofluorescence to measure GA lesion growth, vision tests including visual acuity and contrast sensitivity, and blood tests to assess drug levels and antibody formation. Researchers will track treatment-emergent adverse events and evaluate changes in vision and GA progression over time. Participation lasts until the study completion date in April 2033, with primary outcomes assessed at 52 weeks and further evaluations up to 296 weeks.

Researchers are evaluating disitamab vedotin alone or combined with pembrolizumab to treat urothelial cancer that expresses HER2. This study focuses on participants with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to assess how well the drug works and to monitor the side effects experienced by participants. Participants receive disitamab vedotin intravenously every 2 weeks, either alone or with pembrolizumab given by intravenous infusion on Day 1 of each 6-week cycle. The study includes multiple cohorts receiving different combinations or monotherapy treatments. The treatment period and monitoring last approximately 2 years, with ongoing assessments of drug effects and safety. During the study, participants undergo regular evaluations including imaging scans to measure tumor response, laboratory tests, electrocardiograms to monitor heart function, and assessments of side effects. Researchers measure treatment response using established cancer evaluation criteria and track survival and disease control over about 3 years. Participants are closely monitored for adverse effects and blood levels of the drugs to understand how the treatments behave in the body.

This trial studies adults aged 55 to 90 who have psychosis linked to Alzheimers Disease. It is a Phase 3, 38-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled outpatient study. Its main goal is to assess how well KarXT capsules prevent relapse of psychosis compared to placebo. Additional goals include evaluating time to treatment discontinuation or relapse, and monitoring safety and tolerability. Participants receive either KarXT capsules at various doses or placebo capsules. The study involves a randomized assignment and is conducted under quadruple masking. The treatment period lasts 38 weeks during which KarXT or placebo is taken three times daily. Assessments continue up to approximately 42 weeks to monitor adverse events and other safety measures. Throughout the study, participants attend outpatient visits for evaluations including cognitive tests, assessments of psychosis severity, caregiver reports, lab tests, vital signs, and safety monitoring. Researchers measure relapse timing, treatment discontinuation, neuropsychiatric symptoms, movement scales, weight, and signs related to heart and urinary health. Safety is closely tracked with various assessments until about week 42.

Researchers are evaluating ITI-1284, a drug being studied for agitation associated with Alzheimers dementia. This Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ITI-1284 in patients aged 55 years and older who experience agitation related to Alzheimers disease. The study is sponsored by Intra-Cellular Therapies, Inc. and follows strict clinical criteria for diagnosis and agitation severity. Participants are randomly assigned in equal numbers to receive either ITI-1284 or a placebo. ITI-1284 is given as a rapidly disintegrating tablet taken once daily under the tongue at doses of 10 mg or 20 mg. The study consists of three periods a screening period lasting up to 4 weeks to assess eligibility, a 12-week double-blind treatment period where the assigned study drug is taken daily, and a 30-day safety follow-up period after the last dose to monitor any effects. During the study, participants will have assessments including the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory CMAI to measure agitation levels at Week 12. Other evaluations include the Clinical Global Impression-Severity CGI-S score and cognitive testing with the Mini-Mental State Examination. Safety monitoring occurs throughout the treatment and follow-up periods. Overall, participation lasts approximately 16 to 17 weeks, covering screening, treatment, and safety checks.

Researchers are evaluating ITI-1284, a study drug, for treating psychosis in patients with Alzheimers disease.
