The study is sponsored by Amgen and aims to better understand the safety profile of dazodalibep over an extended period. Participants who finished the initial 48-week trials HZNP-DAZ-301 or HZNP-DAZ-303 will receive an assigned dose of dazodalibep intravenously for an additional 132 weeks. This extension study involves a single treatment group receiving dazodalibep without placebo, focusing on ongoing treatment effects and participant safety. During the study, participants will be monitored for treatment-emergent adverse events for up to 152 weeks. Researchers will also measure the presence of anti-drug antibodies and plasma concentrations of dazodalibep for up to 132 weeks. Participants need to be available for all study visits and procedures, with safety assessments conducted regularly throughout the long-term extension period.

Researchers are evaluating whether retatrutide and tirzepatide can prevent major adverse liver outcomes in adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease MASLD who are at high risk based on non-invasive tests. This Phase 3 randomized controlled trial aims to assess these treatments compared to placebo in about 4,500 adults over approximately 224 weeks. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and focuses on liver disease progression and related health measures. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive retatrutide, tirzepatide, or placebo, all administered by subcutaneous injection. The trial includes two placebo groups corresponding to each experimental drug. After completing the main study, eligible participants may join a 2-year extension where all will receive either retatrutide or tirzepatide regardless of their initial assignment. During the study, participants may attend around 25 to 30 clinic visits for health monitoring, study procedures, and assessments of liver function and disease status. Researchers will measure the time to major adverse liver outcomes, changes in liver fibrosis scores, liver stiffness, liver fat content, liver enzyme levels, body weight, and cardiovascular events. Monitoring will continue from baseline through study completion, with detailed evaluations at multiple timepoints including week 104.

Researchers are conducting a master protocol study to evaluate multiple pain treatments for people experiencing chronic pain conditions such as osteoarthritis of the knee, diabetic neuropathic pain, and chronic low back pain. This study aims to compare different pain interventions by using a flexible design where specific intervention appendices ISAs can begin independently as new treatments become available. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and is designed as a phase 2 randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Participants may receive one of several study drugs administered either intravenously or orally, including LY3016859 given through IV and LY3556050, LY3526318, and LY3857210 given orally. Each treatment group is compared to a matching placebo group. The study uses a parallel design where participants are assigned randomly to one of the intervention groups or placebo. The protocol includes disease-state addenda to define target populations and assessment scales for each pain condition. During the trial, participants undergo screening to confirm eligibility based on pain levels, history, and health status. They are monitored for outcomes such as the number of participants allocated to each intervention up to week 8. Researchers assess pain and other health measures while participants maintain consistent use of any ongoing non-drug pain therapies and discontinue other chronic pain medications except for rescue use. The study includes safety monitoring and will continue through April 2027, with results posted for each intervention.

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. The study also tracks lipoproteina levels and clinical heart-related events during this period. Throughout the study, participants will have regular assessments including imaging to measure aortic valve function and calcium score, blood tests for lipoproteina, and monitoring for safety. The main outcomes analyzed after 36 months include changes in valve jet velocity and calcium score, alongside clinical events. Participants remain under medical care while being observed for any effects of the study drug or placebo.

Participant involvement extends up to 18 weeks to capture any adverse events and treatment effects.

Researchers are studying an investigational drug called ALN-HSD in adults with Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated SteatoHepatitis MASH, a liver condition caused by fat buildup that damages liver cells and causes inflammation and scarring. This condition can worsen to cirrhosis and liver failure. The study aims to evaluate how ALN-HSD affects liver scarring related to MASH and to understand its impact on liver function and inflammation, as well as potential side effects and how the drug is processed in the body. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either ALN-HSD or a placebo in a double-blind setup. The study involves a 52-week treatment period during which the effects of ALN-HSD on liver fibrosis and other liver-related biomarkers will be assessed. The trial includes genetic risk factor screening for enrollment and collects data on drug levels and metabolites. Treatment is administered according to the study protocol, with monitoring continuing through week 84 for adverse events. Throughout the study, participants will undergo liver biopsies and various laboratory tests to measure liver fibrosis, enzyme levels, and other biomarkers related to MASH. Researchers will track changes from baseline to week 52 in liver fibrosis and inflammation, along with monitoring adverse events until week 84. Participants are involved in regular assessments to evaluate the study drugs impact on their liver health over the course of the trial.

Researchers are evaluating oral icotrokinra as a treatment for adults and adolescents with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the large intestine causing ulcers in the colon lining. The study aims to assess how well icotrokinra works, along with its safety and tolerability in this population. This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with a parallel group design including both adults and adolescents. Adult participants will be randomly assigned to receive either icotrokinra or placebo daily by mouth during a 12-week induction phase. At Week 12, those showing clinical response will enter a maintenance phase where they will continue icotrokinra or placebo daily for 40 weeks. Adults who do not respond will also enter the maintenance phase and receive icotrokinra. Adolescents will receive open-label icotrokinra during induction and then continue on icotrokinra during maintenance regardless of response. After completing the 40-week maintenance phase, eligible participants may join a long-term extension study. Participants will be monitored regularly through clinical assessments at specified time points including Week 12 for induction and Week 40 for maintenance. Outcomes measured include rates of clinical remission, symptom improvement, endoscopic and histologic healing, and quality of life scores. Safety will be evaluated by tracking adverse and serious adverse events throughout the study. The total study duration may extend up to approximately 6 years, ending in 2032, allowing long-term evaluation of icotrokinra in ulcerative colitis management.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the drug HJB647 in people with chronic stable heart failure who have reduced or mildly reduced ejection fraction HFrEFHFmrEF. This Phase 1 trial is designed as a multi-center, randomized, participant- and investigator-blinded, placebo-controlled crossover study to better understand how two different doses of HJB647 affect these participants. The study includes participants with stable heart failure under standard care with sacubitrilvalsartan therapy. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three treatment sequences, each lasting 3 days, which include two different doses of HJB647 and a placebo, all given as capsules by mouth.
