Researchers are studying a medicine called MK-8527 to understand how it behaves in the bodies of healthy adults aged 18 to 55. The study aims to learn how MK-8527 interacts when taken with food or combined with other medicines like probenecid and itraconazole. The goal is also to assess the safety of MK-8527 and whether participants can tolerate it without needing to stop due to health issues. Participants will receive single doses of MK-8527 under different conditions with food and without food, alone and combined with probenecid, and alone and combined with itraconazole. This crossover study allows each participant to experience all these dosing scenarios to compare how the medicine behaves in each case. During the study, participants will be monitored through blood and urine tests at specified times up to 336 hours after dosing to measure MK-8527 levels and its clearance. Researchers will also track any side effects or reasons for stopping treatment over approximately 43 days. The study is conducted by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC and is expected to complete in October 2026.

This research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the FloStent, a medical device used for treating men experiencing symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia BPH. The study compares the FloStent implant procedure to a sham procedure without deploying the device. It involves men aged 45 and older with symptomatic BPH to better understand how this device may impact urinary symptoms. Participants will undergo a flexible cystoscopy procedure. Those randomized to the treatment group will receive the FloStent implant during this procedure, while those in the control group will have the cystoscopy without the implant deployment, serving as a sham treatment. The study is randomized, double-blind, and includes parallel groups to compare outcomes over time. Throughout the study, participants will be assessed on changes in their International Prostate Symptom Score IPSS over 12 months. Researchers will monitor symptom improvements at 3, 6, and 12 months to evaluate response rates. Participants will complete study visits and follow the protocol to help researchers gather data on the devices safety and impact on urinary symptoms.

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.
