Researchers are evaluating molnupiravir, an oral medicine designed to stop the COVID-19 virus from multiplying, to see if it can prevent severe illness from COVID-19 in people at high risk of disease progression. The study focuses on adults with confirmed COVID-19 infection who are at increased risk due to age, medical conditions, or other factors. This is a Phase 3 randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial led by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either molnupiravir or a matching placebo. Those in the molnupiravir group will take 800 mg orally every 12 hours for 5 days, totaling 10 doses. The same dosing schedule applies to the placebo group. Some participants may also receive remdesivir as part of standard care if clinically appropriate. During the study, participants will be monitored for up to 29 days to assess outcomes such as hospitalization, death, or medically attended visits related to COVID-19. Safety will be evaluated by tracking adverse events and discontinuation due to side effects. Researchers will also measure symptom relief, viral RNA levels, and other health indicators. The study is expected to continue until January 2031.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and tolerability of Efimosfermin Alfa in adults with known or suspected metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis MASH with fibrosis at stages F2 or F3. This phase 3 clinical trial aims to understand how participants respond to this treatment compared to a placebo, focusing on managing this liver condition characterized by metabolic syndrome components and liver fibrosis. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups two groups receiving different dose levels of Efimosfermin Alfa and one group receiving a placebo. The study involves administering the drug or placebo injections over a period of up to 52 weeks. Researchers will monitor participants throughout this time to assess the drugs effects and tolerability. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including laboratory tests for liver enzymes and fibrosis markers, imaging tests such as magnetic resonance elastography and MRI-derived fat fraction measurements, and evaluations of metabolic factors like blood sugar and cholesterol. Safety will be closely monitored by tracking adverse events and laboratory abnormalities. The total participation time is about one year, during which participants will have scheduled visits for treatment and evaluation.

Researchers are evaluating a preservative-free version of Bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.01% YSBP compared to Lumigan4 bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.01% in adults with primary open-angle glaucoma POAG or ocular hypertension OH. The study aims to determine if the preservative-free formulation is not worse than the existing treatment in controlling these eye conditions. This is a Phase 3 clinical trial sponsored by YS Life Science Co., Ltd., focused on treatment effectiveness and safety. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the preservative-free Bimatoprost YSBP or Lumigan4 eye drops. The treatments are administered as eye drops, and the study uses a parallel design with two groups treated simultaneously. The trial is double-masked, meaning neither participants nor investigators know which treatment is given. The primary treatment period lasts 12 weeks, during which intraocular pressure IOP is closely monitored. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including IOP measurements at baseline and Week 12. Visual acuity is also evaluated to ensure participants meet vision criteria. The study monitors adherence to the treatment and any side effects. The main outcome measured is the change in intraocular pressure at Week 12 to assess the treatments effect on eye pressure control. The total study duration extends through the treatment period and concludes by December 2027.

Researchers are evaluating the combination of baxdrostat and dapagliflozin in people with chronic kidney disease CKD and high blood pressure hypertension. This Phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to assess whether this combination reduces the risk of serious kidney damage, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death compared to dapagliflozin alone. The study includes participants with CKD and hypertension who meet specific kidney function and blood pressure criteria. Participants who are not already taking SGLT2 inhibitors will first complete a 4-week dapagliflozin run-in period. Then, they will be randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat plus dapagliflozin or a placebo plus dapagliflozin. Baxdrostat dosing may start low and be increased if needed. Study visits will occur at 2, 4, 8, 16, 34, and 52 weeks after randomization, and then approximately every four months until the study ends, which is based on the number of key kidney or heart-related events. Throughout the study, participants will have regular assessments including blood tests to monitor kidney function and potassium levels, blood pressure measurements, and evaluations of heart and kidney health. If participants stop the blinded study drug early, they will continue dapagliflozin if possible and remain in the study for ongoing visits and monitoring. The main outcome is whether the combination treatment reduces the risk of a 50% sustained decline in kidney function, kidney failure, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death over up to 37 months.

Researchers are evaluating efimosfermin alfa in adults with biopsy-confirmed metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis MASH and stage F2 or F3 liver fibrosis. The study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of efimosfermin alfa compared to a placebo in resolving steatohepatitis and improving liver-related clinical outcomes. This Phase 3 trial is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, focusing on participants with specific liver conditions and metabolic syndrome components. Participants are assigned to one of three groups two groups receive different dose levels of efimosfermin alfa, while the third group receives a placebo. Treatments are given under controlled conditions, and the study follows a parallel design. The trial monitors participants at set intervals over a course of 52 weeks, with some outcomes tracked up to 48 months to evaluate long-term effects on liver fibrosis and steatohepatitis. During the study, participants undergo liver biopsies to confirm diagnosis and assess changes. Researchers evaluate improvements in fibrosis stage, steatohepatitis resolution, and various liver function measurements using imaging and blood tests. Safety is monitored by tracking adverse events and laboratory abnormalities. Quality of life and other health indicators are also assessed throughout the study, which lasts several years to capture both short- and long-term outcomes.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of a triple therapy inhaler combining budesonide, glycopyrronium, and formoterol fumarate BGF MDI 32014.49.6 g compared to a dual therapy inhaler with glycopyrronium and formoterol fumarate GFF MDI 14.49.6 g on heart and lung outcomes in adults with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease COPD who have a higher risk for heart and lung events. This Phase III study is randomized, double-blind, and conducted at multiple centers, focusing on participants with COPD and elevated cardiopulmonary risk. Participants will receive either the triple therapy inhaler or the dual therapy inhaler, both administered twice daily. The study compares these two inhalers over a period of up to three years, monitoring for serious cardiac or COPD events. The trial includes careful evaluation of various heart and lung-related health events during this period. During the study, participants will be closely monitored through regular visits, assessments, and tests to measure lung function, heart events, and COPD exacerbations. Researchers will track the time until the first severe cardiac or COPD event and evaluate other cardiovascular and respiratory outcomes over up to three years. Participants will also be assessed for their ability to properly use the inhaler and adherence to the study protocol throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of RSLV-132 in adult females with Primary Sjgren Syndrome pSS, a condition characterized by symptoms like fatigue, dryness, and pain. This Phase 2 clinical trial aims to determine if RSLV-132 improves these key symptoms, assess its safety, and study immune responses and blood levels of the drug over time. The study compares RSLV-132 to a placebo to understand its impact on symptom relief and safety in participants with moderate to severe symptom burden. Participants receive intravenous infusions of either 10 mgkg RSLV-132 or a placebo solution on Days 1, 8, 15, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85, 99, 113, 127, 141, and 155, covering a total of 22 weeks of treatment. This double-blind, randomized study includes regular clinic visits weekly for the first two weeks, then every two weeks until the end of treatment, with a final follow-up visit at Day 211. Each infusion and visit involves monitoring and assessments to track progress and responses. During the study, participants will record their symptoms daily using an electronic device and attend scheduled clinic visits for check-ups, tests, and questionnaires. Researchers will assess fatigue and tiredness, measure drug levels and immune responses in blood samples, and monitor for any adverse events throughout and after treatment. The main outcome focuses on the evaluation of key symptoms of Sjgrens disease, with safety and immune response also closely observed until Day 211.

Researchers are evaluating the use of SNP-ACTH 1-39 Gel compared to rituximab for treating adults with primary membranous nephropathy PMN, a kidney condition. This trial uses a two-phase adaptive design to find the best dose of SNP-ACTH Gel and then assess its effectiveness against rituximab. The study is divided into Phase 3a for dose finding and Phase 3b for comparing treatments over 24 months. In Phase 3a, up to 24 patients will be randomly assigned to receive either 3 mg or 5 mg of SNP-ACTH Gel by subcutaneous injection three times a week for 12 months. Data from this phase will guide dose selection for Phase 3b. In Phase 3b, 132 patients will be randomized to receive either the selected dose of SNP-ACTH Gel for 12 months or rituximab infusions given in two cycles, one at the start and one at six months. Participants will be monitored throughout the study with regular assessments of urinary protein and auto-antibody levels during Phase 3a, and clinical responses at 24 months in Phase 3b. Researchers will track kidney function, relapse rates, immune responses, and safety outcomes. Study visits and evaluations will occur at multiple time points up to two years, supporting detailed understanding of treatment effects and patient health over time.

Vitiligo is a long-term autoimmune condition that causes the skin to lose its color due to the immune system mistakenly attacking pigment-producing skin cells called melanocytes. This leads to patches of skin with less or no pigment, often appearing symmetrically on both sides of the body in the nonsegmental form of vitiligo. The study aims to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and tolerability of the drug zasocitinib in adults with nonsegmental vitiligo. Participants will receive oral capsules of zasocitinib at low, medium, or high doses for up to 52 weeks. Some participants will initially receive a placebo for 24 weeks, then switch to medium or high doses of zasocitinib for the remainder of the study. The placebo capsules look identical to zasocitinib but do not contain active medicine. The study uses a randomized, double-blind design with several experimental groups receiving different doses or placebo. During the study, participants will visit the clinic 11 times over one year. Researchers will assess the improvement in vitiligo using facial and total Vitiligo Area Scoring Index F-VASI and T-VASI at baseline and week 24. Safety and tolerability will also be monitored throughout. The primary outcome is the percentage of participants achieving at least 75% improvement in F-VASI at week 24. Secondary outcomes include other measures of vitiligo area improvement. Participants health and response to treatment will be closely followed until the studys end.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy, safety, and pharmacological effects of three different doses of KYN-5356 compared to a placebo in adults with cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia. This Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to investigate how these treatments affect cognitive function and brain activity. The study assesses pharmacokinetics and exploratory pharmacodynamics to understand how the drug behaves and impacts neurophysiological measures in the brain. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups receiving either low, medium, or high doses of KYN-5356 or a placebo. Treatment involves taking oral tablets daily for 28 days while residing in the clinic. Participants are admitted three days before treatment begins and remain in the clinic for 32 days. Electrophysiological tests will be performed on a subset of participants to evaluate the drugs effect on brain function. During the study, participants will undergo frequent evaluations for efficacy, safety, and drug levels in the body. Safety assessments continue until discharge on Day 29, followed by a follow-up visit on Day 42. Researchers will measure cognitive function changes and monitor pharmacokinetic parameters such as maximum concentration and half-life. The total participation period includes the 32-day residential stay plus the follow-up visit, allowing close monitoring throughout.
