Researchers are evaluating tulisokibart as a potential treatment for radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA), a type of arthritis causing pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the spine and pelvis joints, visible on X-rays. This Phase 2b study aims to determine if different doses of tulisokibart improve symptoms better than a placebo, which looks like the study medicine but contains no active drug. The study has two main parts: a 16-week placebo-controlled period where participants receive either tulisokibart or placebo through subcutaneous injections, followed by a 124-week long-term extension divided into a 40-week main extension and an 84-week optional extension. This allows researchers to assess both the short-term and longer-term effects and safety of tulisokibart. Participants will be monitored for their response using the Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society (ASAS) 40 response at week 16 as the primary outcome. Throughout the study, researchers will evaluate disease activity and safety while tracking symptoms and any side effects. The total involvement spans up to 140 weeks, including both initial treatment and extension phases.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety, tolerability, and lasting effects of ALKS 2680 tablets in adults aged 18 to 70 years with Narcolepsy Type 1, Narcolepsy Type 2, or Idiopathic Hypersomnia. This study continues from earlier trials and aims to monitor how well the treatment works and how safe it is over an extended period. Participants receive daily oral doses of ALKS 2680 tablets in varying strengths ranging from 4 mg to 18 mg. The study is an open-label, long-term extension, meaning all participants know they are receiving ALKS 2680 as they continue treatment after completing a prior parent study. The dose is administered once daily, and the study focuses on ongoing monitoring rather than comparing to a placebo. During the study, participants are regularly assessed for any treatment-emergent adverse events up to 100 weeks. Safety evaluations include clinical assessments, laboratory tests, and monitoring for any new health issues. Researchers track the ability to tolerate the medication and the durability of its effect on symptoms. This long-term follow-up helps ensure comprehensive understanding of the treatment's impact over time.

Researchers are conducting a phase 3 study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of orforglipron for treating hypertension in adults who are overweight or have obesity. The study framework supports two independent trials and aims to better understand how orforglipron works in this specific population with high blood pressure and excess weight. Participants receive orforglipron or a placebo orally once daily. The study includes screening and baseline visits to confirm eligibility based on blood pressure and body mass index. Treatment is randomized and double-blind, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives the active medication or placebo during the trial. Throughout the study, researchers monitor blood pressure and other health factors to assess the number of participants assigned to each treatment group. Safety and efficacy are evaluated regularly, with ongoing observation of participants’ response to the medication and any potential side effects.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of orforglipron for treating people who have both hypertension and are either overweight or obese. This study is part of a larger master protocol called GZPL and focuses specifically on these health conditions. The trial is designed as a Phase 3 study to provide important information about this potential treatment. Participants will receive either orforglipron or a placebo, both given orally once daily. The study compares these two groups to understand the impacts of orforglipron on blood pressure and weight-related health issues. The treatment period lasts up to 36 weeks, during which participants are monitored closely. During the study, participants will have their office systolic blood pressure measured to track changes from the start of the trial to week 36. Researchers will also monitor safety and other health measures throughout the trial. The study involves regular visits and assessments to ensure participant well-being and to gather thorough data on the treatment's effects.

The study is designed as a Phase 3 clinical trial to provide detailed evaluation of this new treatment approach. Participants will receive either orforglipron or a placebo, both given orally once daily. The study compares these two groups to understand the benefits and any side effects of orforglipron when used for managing hypertension in this specific population. The treatment period and detailed dosing schedule are based on the master protocol, which guides participant management and study procedures. During the study, participants will have their systolic blood pressure measured regularly to track changes from the start through week 36. Researchers will monitor safety and treatment effects closely, following all procedures outlined in the master protocol. The overall duration of participant involvement and additional assessments are determined by the master protocol guidelines for this comprehensive evaluation.

This research aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and impact on albuminuria of the drug MZE829 in adults who have proteinuric chronic kidney disease and carry the APOL1 high-risk genotype. This Phase 2 open-label study focuses on participants with specific genetic markers associated with kidney disease to better understand treatment effects. Participants will receive MZE829 in the form of oral capsules. The study involves monitoring the participants over a 12-week period to assess the drug's safety and how well patients tolerate it. Researchers will also measure changes in albuminuria, which reflects kidney function. During the study, participants will be closely monitored for any adverse events from the first day through week 12. Safety assessments and laboratory tests will be performed to track the drug’s effects. The main goal is to determine how safe and tolerable MZE829 is, along with its impact on kidney disease markers over the treatment duration.

Researchers are evaluating efruxifermin (EFX) in adults aged 18 to 80 who have compensated cirrhosis caused by nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) or metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of EFX in improving liver health and delaying disease progression in this population. The study focuses on subjects with advanced liver fibrosis (stage 4) but without liver decompensation. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either efruxifermin or a placebo, both administered by subcutaneous injection. The study includes two cohorts: Cohort 1 requires biopsy confirmation of liver fibrosis and specific metabolic features, while Cohort 2 allows biopsy or non-invasive diagnosis. Treatment and observation continue over an extended period to evaluate changes in liver fibrosis and clinical events. During the study, researchers will monitor the time until significant clinical events such as disease progression or liver decompensation occur, with a follow-up of up to five years. For Cohort 1, the proportion of participants showing improvement in fibrosis without worsening steatohepatitis will be assessed at 96 weeks. Participants will undergo regular evaluations including clinical assessments and laboratory tests to track liver function and safety throughout the study period.

Researchers are investigating the safety and effectiveness of efruxifermin in people with non-cirrhotic nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) or metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) who have moderate to advanced liver fibrosis (stage 2 or 3). This Phase 3 study is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, enrolling a total of 1650 participants in two groups to evaluate treatment outcomes. Participants will receive either efruxifermin or a placebo by subcutaneous injection. The study involves two cohorts, with Cohort 1 including patients who have biopsy-confirmed NASH or MASH and specific liver fibrosis and activity scores. The treatment period and detailed dosing schedules are not provided but the study compares the effects of the active drug against placebo. During the study, participants will be monitored for improvement in liver disease status, including resolution of NASH/MASH and at least a one-stage improvement in liver fibrosis after 52 weeks for Cohort 1. Long-term outcomes such as event-free survival will be observed over 240 weeks. Safety and efficacy assessments will be conducted throughout the study period, including evaluations of liver histology and metabolic health.

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of two different dose schedules of pegozafermin compared to a placebo in adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) who have liver fibrosis at stage F2 or F3. This phase 3 study focuses on improving liver fibrosis and steatohepatitis in this patient group, which involves chronic liver disease associated with metabolic dysfunction. Participants will receive either pegozafermin or a placebo through subcutaneous injections. The study compares two doses of pegozafermin to assess their impact on liver fibrosis and steatohepatitis. The treatment period lasts up to 52 weeks, with outcomes measured at this time point. During the study, participants will be monitored for improvements in liver fibrosis and resolution of steatohepatitis without worsening fibrosis by week 52. Researchers will also track the time until any disease progression occurs, up to 5 years. Throughout the trial, safety and efficacy will be carefully assessed through clinical evaluations and laboratory tests to ensure participant well-being.

Narcolepsy Type 1 (NT1), Narcolepsy Type 2 (NT2), and Idiopathic Hypersomnia (IH) are rare sleep disorders causing excessive daytime sleepiness, making it difficult for people to stay alert during daily activities like school, work, or driving. NT1 often includes sudden muscle weakness called cataplexy triggered by strong emotions, while NT2 does not have cataplexy. People with IH feel tired even after long sleep and may have trouble waking up. This study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effects of ORX750, a drug designed to mimic orexin, a brain protein that helps keep people awake, in individuals with NT1, NT2, and IH. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either ORX750 capsules or matching placebo capsules in this Phase 2a trial. The study will compare the drug against placebo to learn about its safety, how the body processes it, and its potential to reduce sleepiness and improve symptoms in these conditions. Participants must stop all other narcolepsy or hypersomnia medications and follow study requirements throughout the trial. During the study, researchers will monitor participants for treatment-related side effects, changes in laboratory tests, vital signs, heart electrical activity (ECG), and any suicidal thoughts or behaviors up to day 35. The main outcomes focus on safety and tolerability of ORX750. The study includes adults aged 18 to 65 years with specific diagnoses of NT1, NT2, or IH and tracks their response and health closely during the trial period.
