Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety and tolerability of LB-102 in adults with stable schizophrenia who have had inadequate responses, side effects, or issues with their current antipsychotic medications, or who have completed prior LB-102 studies. This Phase 3, open-label, multicenter trial focuses on patients aged 18 to 65 years with stable disease and aims to provide extended monitoring of this treatment. Participants will receive LB-102 with flexible dosing ranging from 50 mg to 100 mg. This single-group study involves administering the drug openly over 52 weeks to assess how well patients tolerate it and to monitor safety during this period. Throughout the study, participants will undergo evaluations including monitoring adverse events and treatment-emergent events. Effectiveness will be assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale PANSS. The study lasts up to 52 weeks, during which safety and tolerability are carefully observed and recorded.

Researchers are studying a trial medicine called MK-7262 to lower the level of Lipoproteina or Lpa in the blood. This trial also looks at another medicine named enlicitide, which lowers low-density lipoprotein cholesterol LDL-C. The study aims to find out if taking MK-7262 alone or together with enlicitide works better than a placebo in lowering Lpa and LDL-C levels. The safety and tolerability of these medicines are also being evaluated. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups. One group will take both MK-7262 and enlicitide placebos, the second will take enlicitide with an MK-7262 placebo, the third will take MK-7262 with an enlicitide placebo, and the fourth will take both MK-7262 and enlicitide. All treatments are oral tablets taken once daily for about 12 weeks. During the study, participants will have their Lpa and LDL-C levels measured at baseline and at weeks 8 and 12 to assess changes. Researchers will monitor any adverse events and whether participants stop treatment due to side effects, with safety observed for up to approximately 20 weeks. The study also tracks other related outcomes like percentages of participants reaching specific Lpa levels. Overall participation lasts up to about 12 weeks of treatment plus follow-up.

Researchers are evaluating a culturally-tailored home-based physical activity program designed for Hispanic or LatinoLatina adolescent and young adult childhood cancer survivors. These survivors may face long-term effects like weight gain, fatigue, and reduced physical fitness after cancer treatment. The study aims to see if this culturally-relevant program can help increase physical activity and improve overall health compared to using a Fitbit tracker alone. The study has two stages. In Stage 1, 20 Latinx survivors participate in developing the intervention using Fitbit trackers, text messages, social media support, wearable activity devices, and interviews over 9 months. In Stage 2, 170 survivors who do not meet physical activity guidelines are randomized to either the intervention group, which includes Fitbit use, weekly goal-setting, peer support via social media and Zoom meetings, and optional activity partners, or a control group that only uses Fitbit trackers for 12 weeks. The intervention includes an intensive phase with weekly sessions followed by a 4-week maintenance phase. Participants will wear Fitbit trackers daily and engage in goal-setting, peer discussions, and physical activity reminders. Researchers will measure moderate to vigorous physical activity, sedentary time, and health-related quality of life over 12 weeks. Additional evaluations include physiological markers of heart and metabolic health and qualitative interviews to improve the program. The study lasts through the intervention phases with ongoing monitoring and support for participants.

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 evaluating the effectiveness of a single layer placental-based allograft combined with standard care for treating nonhealing diabetic foot ulcers. This controlled clinical trial follows a rescue design where patients who do not heal during a previous trial CAMPX and were treated only with standard care can enroll to receive the new study product. Participants must meet specific medical criteria related to cellular and matrix-like products as defined by Medicare guidelines. The intervention involves applying the single-layer amniotic membrane product called XWRAP alongside standard care for up to 12 weeks. Patients entering this rescue trial previously failed to heal their ulcers under standard care alone in the CAMPX trial. This study evaluates wound closure and related healing outcomes over this 12-week period. Participants will attend weekly study visits for up to 12 weeks during which researchers will assess wound closure, time to closure, wound size reduction, adverse events, and quality of life related to the wound. Several scales measuring wound impact and pain will also be used. Safety and wound healing progress will be closely monitored throughout the study duration.

Researchers are investigating a new treatment approach for patients with acute myeloid leukemia AML, myelodysplastic syndromes MDS, or acute lymphoblastic leukemia ALL who are undergoing allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation from haploidentical donors or matched unrelated donors. This Phase 1 study aims to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and early effectiveness of genetically engineered donor T cells called TSC-100 and TSC-101, which target specific minor antigens, combined with standard care compared to standard care alone. The study uses a multi-arm design and includes dose escalation to find the best tolerated dose. Participants will receive either TSC-100 or TSC-101 based on their genetic markers along with the standard transplant care, which includes reduced intensity conditioning and graft-versus-host disease prevention. The TSC products will be given intravenously in up to two doses, with dosing cohorts following a 33 escalation design to evaluate safety before moving to higher doses. Standard care regimens vary but may include chemotherapy combinations and supportive care as needed. Patients not receiving the investigational T cells will receive standard care alone as a control group. During the study, participants will be monitored for side effects and adverse events over two years, including dose-limiting toxicities. Researchers will also assess disease-free survival and relapse rates up to two years after transplant. Assessments include blood and bone marrow sampling, immune monitoring, and long-term follow-up for up to 15 years for those receiving the investigational T cell infusion. The study involves regular visits for treatment, safety monitoring, and data collection to understand the impact of the new therapy.

This trial investigates MZE829 capsules in adults with proteinuric chronic kidney disease who also carry the APOL1 high risk genotype, specifically G1G1, G2G2, or G1G2 variants. The study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and impact on albuminuria, a marker of kidney damage, in this population. It is an open-label Phase 2 trial, meaning all participants receive the study drug and results will help determine its effects and safety profile. Participants receive MZE829 capsules orally in a single-group design. The study includes two cohorts one with chronic kidney disease alongside diabetes, and another with chronic kidney disease without diabetes. The treatment and monitoring occur over a 12-week period, during which the study team assesses drug safety and effects on albuminuria levels. During the trial, participants will be monitored for adverse events and tolerability from baseline through week 12. Researchers will also measure changes in urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio UACR to evaluate kidney function. Blood samples will be taken to assess plasma drug concentrations. The total participation time is approximately 12 weeks, focusing on safety and biological effects of MZE829.

Researchers are evaluating a new medication called VH4524184 for treating adults with HIV-1 who have never received treatment before. This Phase 2b study compares two doses of VH4524184, each taken with the medications emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide FTCTAF, against a standard HIV treatment combining dolutegravir and lamivudine DTG3TC. The goal is to collect long-term data on the antiviral activity of VH4524184 and to understand the best dosing for future studies. Participants are assigned to one of several groups one group receives a low dose of VH4524184 plus FTCTAF daily for 12 months, another group receives a high dose of VH4524184 plus FTCTAF daily for 12 months, and a third group takes DTG and 3TC daily for 24 months. After 12 months, those on VH4524184 may continue with a selected dose combined with FTCTAF daily until month 24. All medications are taken orally. During the study, participants attend scheduled visits for assessments including blood tests to measure HIV-1 RNA levels, CD4 T-cell counts, and drug concentrations. Researchers monitor the percentage of participants achieving viral suppression at 12 months and maintain it through 24 months. Safety is closely observed through tracking adverse events until roughly month 36. The total participation time may span up to 36 months to evaluate the long-term effects and safety of the treatments.

Researchers are conducting a phase 2b, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate camoteskimab in adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. The study includes both treatment-naive participants and those who have had an inadequate response to previous biologic therapies, aiming to assess the effectiveness and safety of camoteskimab for this condition. The study has two parts. In Part 1, lasting 24 weeks, participants are randomly assigned to receive one of three doses of camoteskimab or a placebo, all given by subcutaneous injection. In Part 2, which is an extension period, all participants will receive camoteskimab. This design allows comparison of different doses and the placebo before all receive the active treatment. Participants will undergo regular assessments including evaluation of eczema severity, body surface area affected, and itch intensity using specific scales like the Eczema Area and Severity Index EASI and Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale PP-NRS. Researchers will monitor changes from baseline over 24 weeks. Safety and adherence will be closely followed throughout the study, which is planned to continue until April 2028.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of fosmanogepix, given either intravenously or orally, for treating adult patients diagnosed with invasive mold infections. This Phase 3 trial compares fosmanogepix to the standard antifungal therapies. The study mainly aims to assess all-cause mortality by Day 42 and includes patients both receiving primary therapy and those receiving salvage treatment after prior therapies failed or were not tolerated. Participants are assigned to one of two cohorts Cohort A, where patients receive either fosmanogepix or the best available standard antifungal treatment, and Cohort B, where patients receive only fosmanogepix as salvage therapy. Fosmanogepix is administered via IV infusion or oral tablets. The treatment phase targets 84 days but can be extended up to 180 days, followed by a follow-up period. During the study, participants undergo various assessments including mortality evaluation at Day 42, clinical and radiological response checks, laboratory tests, neurological exams, ECG monitoring, and plasma drug level measurements at multiple time points. Safety is closely monitored throughout the study and follow-up, which together may last approximately 8 months. Researchers will track adverse events and overall treatment success over this period.
