Researchers are evaluating the safety and tolerability of Efimosfermin Alfa in adults aged 18 to 75 years who have known or suspected metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) with fibrosis at stage F2 or F3. This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study focuses on participants with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and metabolic syndrome components, aiming to better understand treatment effects in this population. Participants will receive either Efimosfermin Alfa injection or a placebo, with the study designed as a three-arm trial. The treatment will be administered according to the study protocol, though specific dosing details are not provided. The study will monitor participants over a period extending to at least 52 weeks, comparing the safety and tolerability of Efimosfermin Alfa against placebo. During the study, participants will be closely observed through clinical assessments including monitoring for treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), laboratory tests to detect Grade 3 and Grade 4 abnormalities, and evaluation of any adverse events leading to discontinuation of treatment. These safety and tolerability measures will be recorded at Week 52, helping researchers assess the impact of Efimosfermin Alfa over time.

Researchers are evaluating whether the drugs retatrutide and tirzepatide can prevent major adverse liver outcomes (MALO) in adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) who are at high risk. This Phase 3 trial enrolls about 4,500 adults with MASLD identified by non-invasive tests indicating an increased likelihood of developing serious liver problems. The study aims to understand how these treatments might affect liver health over time compared to a placebo. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either retatrutide, tirzepatide, or a placebo, all given by subcutaneous injection. The study will last approximately 224 weeks, during which participants may attend 25 to 30 clinic visits for monitoring and assessment. After the main study, eligible participants can join an optional 2-year extension where all will receive either retatrutide or tirzepatide regardless of their original group. Throughout the trial, participants’ liver function and disease progression will be closely monitored through various health assessments. Researchers will track the time to the first major adverse liver event as the main outcome. Safety and health status will be evaluated regularly during clinic visits, ensuring thorough observation over the long study period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of KarXT combined with KarX-EC in adults aged 55 to 90 who have agitation related to Alzheimer's Disease. This phase 3 study aims to better understand how these treatments impact agitation symptoms in this population by comparing them to a placebo group. Participants must have a confirmed Alzheimer's diagnosis and meet specific criteria for agitation severity to join the study. Participants will receive either the Xanomeline/Trospium Chloride Capsule, Xanomeline Enteric Capsule, or a placebo, each given at specified doses on designated days. The study is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled to ensure reliable comparison of treatment effects. The treatment period lasts through Week 14, during which dosing schedules are closely followed. Throughout the study, participants will be regularly assessed using the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory-International Psychogeriatric Association (CMAI-IPA) to measure changes in agitation levels from baseline to Week 14. Caregivers will provide reports on participant status and help ensure medication compliance. Safety and symptom changes will be carefully monitored to evaluate the treatments' effects during this period.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of ASTX727 combined with iadademstat versus ASTX727 alone in patients with accelerated or blast phase Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including subtypes like polycythemia vera and myelofibrosis. This phase II trial aims to compare the complete acute leukemia response rate within four 28-day treatment cycles and assess survival outcomes and transplant rates. The study also explores molecular changes and resistance pathways related to these treatments. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups: one receives ASTX727 alone, which is a combination of decitabine and cedazuridine taken orally once daily on days 1 through 5 of each cycle; the other group receives the same ASTX727 dosing plus iadademstat taken orally on days 1-5, 8-12, 15-19, and 22-26. Treatment cycles repeat every 28 days until disease progression or unacceptable side effects occur. The study includes a dose escalation phase before randomization. During the study, participants undergo buccal swab, blood sample collections, and bone marrow aspiration and biopsy to monitor disease and treatment effects. After stopping treatment for reasons other than disease progression, patients are followed up every three months; if stopping due to progression, follow-up occurs every six months. Researchers measure treatment response using established leukemia criteria and track safety and overall survival throughout the study.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, systemic exposure, and potential effects on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis of a topical medication called IDP-122 lotion, which contains halobetasol propionate. This study focuses on children and teenagers aged 6 to 17 years with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, a skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches. The study is a Phase 4, open-label trial aimed at understanding how the drug is absorbed and its impact on adrenal health in this pediatric population. Participants will apply IDP-122 lotion topically to areas affected by plaque psoriasis, excluding the face, scalp, underarms, and skin folds. The lotion is studied for its pharmacokinetics, including measuring the maximum concentration of the drug in plasma at various times after application. The study requires participants to avoid prolonged exposure to natural or artificial ultraviolet light during the treatment period. The trial does not include a placebo group and focuses solely on monitoring the topical treatment effects. During the study, children will undergo several evaluations including blood tests to measure drug levels in the plasma at multiple time points within 24 hours after dosing. Their adrenal function will be assessed through a stimulation test measuring serum cortisol. Researchers will also monitor the safety and any side effects related to the treatment. Participants will be carefully observed to ensure adherence to the treatment schedule and to track any changes in their psoriasis or overall health throughout the study period.

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.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of baricitinib, a medication taken by mouth, for treating severe or very severe alopecia areata, a type of hair loss, in children aged 6 to less than 18 years. This Phase 3 study involves children and adolescents who have had alopecia areata for at least one year and are experiencing a current episode lasting at least six months with significant hair loss. The study aims to see how well baricitinib works compared to a placebo. The study is divided into four distinct periods: a 5-week screening period to determine eligibility, a 36-week double-blind treatment period where participants receive either baricitinib or placebo, an approximately 2-year long-term extension period for continued treatment, and a 4-week post-treatment follow-up period to monitor participants after stopping the medication. Both baricitinib and placebo are administered orally. Participants will undergo various assessments throughout the study, including measuring the severity of hair loss using the Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) score. The main outcome is the percentage of participants achieving a SALT score of 20 or less after 36 weeks of treatment. Safety and pharmacokinetics of baricitinib will also be monitored during the study. The total participation may last over two years, including treatment and follow-up phases.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of a medicine called disitamab vedotin for adults with advanced breast cancer that is hard to treat and has spread in the body. This study focuses on participants whose tumors express HER2 and who have received previous treatments for their advanced breast cancer. The goal is to understand how well this medicine works and its safety in these patients through a Phase 1b/2 open-label study. All participants will receive disitamab vedotin intravenously (IV) once every two weeks at the study clinic. They will continue the treatment until they or their doctor decide to stop, which could be due to cancer progression, side effects, or personal choice. During treatment, study visits occur every two weeks. After stopping treatment, participants will have follow-up visits about every six weeks, and later follow-up phone calls approximately every twelve weeks. Participants will undergo evaluations including assessments of their cancer response by the study doctors, following recognized criteria. The study team will monitor the participants for up to about two years or until their disease progresses or they pass away. This includes safety monitoring and collecting information about the medicine’s effects to determine its safety and effectiveness.

Researchers are investigating the safety and effectiveness of eloralintide compared to a placebo in adults with persistent obesity or overweight. This includes people with or without type 2 diabetes who are already on stable weekly incretin therapy. The study is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind trial focusing on this specific group to better understand treatment outcomes. Participants will receive either eloralintide or a placebo, both given by subcutaneous injection once a week. The study compares these two treatments over the course of the trial. Participants must continue their stable incretin therapy throughout the study period. The study lasts about 80 weeks in total. Researchers will monitor changes in body weight from the start of treatment to week 64 as the main outcome. Participants will have regular assessments to track their health, safety, and treatment effects during this time.
