Researchers are evaluating changes in bone mineral density in premenopausal women with heavy menstrual bleeding caused by uterine fibroids or moderate-to-severe pain from endometriosis. This Phase 3B, open-label study looks at the effects of continuous treatment with a relugolix combination tablet for up to 48 months 4 years, followed by a 1-year period to monitor bone health after stopping treatment. Participants will take a daily oral relugolix combination tablet containing relugolix 40 mg, estradiol 1 mg, and norethindrone acetate 0.5 mg for 4 years. Bone mineral density will be measured every 6 months using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry DXA. Some women who have completed a previous related study may join to complete 3 years of treatment. After treatment ends, bone density will be checked again at 6 months and 12 months during the follow-up year. Women in the study will have regular visits for bone density scans and health assessments, including physical and gynecological exams, lab tests, and vital signs. Researchers will track changes in bone density at the spine, hip, and femoral neck throughout treatment and follow-up. They will also monitor for any fractures or adverse events during the 4 years of treatment and the 1-year post-treatment period. Total participation can last up to 5 years including the follow-up.

Researchers are evaluating AZD0780, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor, in a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study. This trial focuses on patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ASCVD or those at high risk for a first ASCVD event. The study aims to assess how AZD0780 compares to placebo in reducing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, also known as MACE-PLUS, over the course of the trial. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either oral AZD0780 once daily or a matching placebo once daily. The study continues until a primary analysis censoring date, which may be up to approximately 54 months from randomization. After this, a study closure visit will be conducted as the final visit for each participant. During the study, participants will be regularly monitored for cardiovascular events including heart attacks, strokes, urgent coronary revascularizations, and other related outcomes. Researchers will track the time to first occurrence of these events as the primary outcome. Safety and other secondary outcomes like all-cause mortality will also be assessed. The total participation time can last up to about 54 months, with ongoing evaluations throughout this period.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of a combination inhaler containing fluticasone propionate and albuterol sulfate, delivered via a multidose dry powder inhaler with an electronic module, in participants aged 12 years and older with asthma. This Phase 3 trial aims to compare this combination treatment to fluticasone propionate alone, albuterol sulfate alone, or a placebo inhaler. The study also assesses different dosing schedules, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of these inhalers. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups receiving either the combination inhaler, fluticasone propionate inhaler, albuterol sulfate inhaler, or placebo, all with integrated electronic modules. Treatments are administered over a 4-week period with dosing four times daily. Pharmacokinetic assessments will be conducted after a single dose administration. The study is double-blind and placebo-controlled, with a parallel group design. Throughout the approximately 10-week study period, including screening and treatment, participants will undergo evaluations including lung function tests measuring forced expiratory volume in one second FEV1, asthma control questionnaires, and safety assessments. Researchers will monitor treatment-emergent adverse events and measure blood concentrations of the inhaled drugs. The study includes electronic monitoring of inhaler use and collects data at baseline, during treatment, and at week 4, with follow-up to assess efficacy and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of a triple therapy inhaler combining budesonide, glycopyrronium, and formoterol fumarate BGF MDI 32014.49.6 g compared to a dual therapy inhaler with glycopyrronium and formoterol fumarate GFF MDI 14.49.6 g on heart and lung outcomes in adults with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease COPD who have a higher risk for heart and lung events. This Phase III study is randomized, double-blind, and conducted at multiple centers, focusing on participants with COPD and elevated cardiopulmonary risk. Participants will receive either the triple therapy inhaler or the dual therapy inhaler, both administered twice daily. The study compares these two inhalers over a period of up to three years, monitoring for serious cardiac or COPD events. The trial includes careful evaluation of various heart and lung-related health events during this period. During the study, participants will be closely monitored through regular visits, assessments, and tests to measure lung function, heart events, and COPD exacerbations. Researchers will track the time until the first severe cardiac or COPD event and evaluate other cardiovascular and respiratory outcomes over up to three years. Participants will also be assessed for their ability to properly use the inhaler and adherence to the study protocol throughout the trial.

This research aims to evaluate how well and safely orforglipron works in adult female participants with stress urinary incontinence SUI who also have obesity or are overweight. SUI is a condition where urine leaks during activities such as coughing or exercising. The study is a Phase 3 clinical trial conducted under a master protocol supporting two independent studies, focusing on this specific population. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either orforglipron or a placebo, both given orally once daily. The study uses a double-blind design with parallel groups to compare the effects of orforglipron against placebo. The treatment period lasts approximately 52 weeks, followed by safety follow-up, making total participation about 58 weeks from screening to study completion. During the study, participants will undergo assessments including measuring changes in the frequency of incontinence episodes, body weight, quality of life related to urinary incontinence, use of continence pads, and cholesterol levels. Researchers will monitor waist circumference and patient impressions of their condition as well. Safety follow-up continues after treatment to ensure participant well-being throughout the study duration.

Researchers are evaluating the Mia by XytoTest self-collection device for its ability to help women aged 25 to 65 perform vaginal sample collection for high-risk HPV hrHPV screening. The study aims to compare the self-collected samples with clinician-collected cervical samples using the cobas HPV Test to determine diagnostic agreement. The trial also seeks to confirm the devices safety and ensure that a diverse group of users can use it effectively as directed. Participants will use the Mia device, a single-use, sterile, disposable tool designed for self-collection of vaginal specimens. These self-collected samples will be compared with samples taken by clinicians using the Rovers Cervex-Brush. The study involves two groups a general population group and an enriched population group with prior hrHPV diagnosis or abnormal cervical cytology. Residual samples may be tested further for other assays related to cervical health. During the study, participants will provide vaginal and cervical samples for hrHPV detection, with safety monitored between 6 and 14 days after sample collection. Researchers will measure the rate of serious adverse events and compare the agreement between self-collected and clinician-collected samples. Participation includes following device instructions, sample collection, and attending visits within one week of collection. The trial is expected to complete by September 2026.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of fusidic acid 1% eye drops compared to a placebo for treating bacterial conjunctivitis in both adults and children. This Phase 3 clinical trial aims to show that fusidic acid 1% is superior to placebo in curing bacterial conjunctivitis and to further confirm its safety when applied topically to the eyes. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups one group will apply one drop of fusidic acid 1% in each eye twice daily for seven days, and the other group will use a placebo eye drop with the same schedule. The doses are ideally spaced about 12 hours apart, but the twice-daily application schedule is prioritized over exact timing. During the study, participants will be assessed for clinical cure and microbial eradication at Day 4 and Day 8 visits. Researchers will monitor safety and treatment effects through these evaluations and by tracking any adverse events. The total participation duration covers at least the seven days of treatment plus follow-up assessments, helping establish both effectiveness and safety profiles for the treatment.

Researchers are comparing the rates of surgical and minimally invasive interventions, as well as any harms, in Medicare beneficiaries treated with the MILD procedure versus those treated with interspinous process decompression IPD for lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication. This observational study uses Medicare claims data to follow patients for 24 months after their initial procedure starting from January 1, 2017. The purpose is to evaluate outcomes between these two types of procedures without requiring prior patient enrollment or consent. The study includes two groups patients who received MILD, which is a percutaneous image-guided lumbar decompression performed under fluoroscopic guidance through a dorsal approach to the spine, and patients who received IPD, a different device-based decompression procedure. Data on reoperations and complications will be collected for both groups over a 24-month follow-up period using Medicare claims. Enrollment continues until the sponsor decides to stop. Participants involvement is passive as the study uses existing Medicare claims data. Researchers will monitor rates of harms related to the initial procedure and subsequent surgical or minimally invasive interventions over two years. No direct patient visits or interventions are conducted, and the study is exempt from institutional review board oversight. The total study duration extends to December 2026, covering cases treated since early 2017.
