Researchers are evaluating the safety and tolerability of Efimosfermin Alfa in adults with known or suspected metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis MASH with fibrosis at stages F2 or F3. This phase 3 clinical trial aims to understand how participants respond to this treatment compared to a placebo, focusing on managing this liver condition characterized by metabolic syndrome components and liver fibrosis. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups two groups receiving different dose levels of Efimosfermin Alfa and one group receiving a placebo. The study involves administering the drug or placebo injections over a period of up to 52 weeks. Researchers will monitor participants throughout this time to assess the drugs effects and tolerability. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including laboratory tests for liver enzymes and fibrosis markers, imaging tests such as magnetic resonance elastography and MRI-derived fat fraction measurements, and evaluations of metabolic factors like blood sugar and cholesterol. Safety will be closely monitored by tracking adverse events and laboratory abnormalities. The total participation time is about one year, during which participants will have scheduled visits for treatment and evaluation.

Researchers are evaluating the effect of Xeomin injections compared to placebo injections for preventing chronic migraine. This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial includes an extension period and aims to measure changes in the number of monthly migraine days. Participants have chronic migraine and meet specific criteria related to headache frequency and migraine history. Participants receive Xeomin or placebo injections into muscles of the head and neck at pericranial and cervical points. The study includes two Xeomin dose groups and a placebo group during the controlled period, with all groups receiving Xeomin in the extension phase. Four treatments are given approximately 12 weeks apart over a total study duration of 52 to 55 weeks. Participants take part in 14 visits over the study period, with the first, last, and four treatment visits conducted in person and the remaining eight visits by phone or video call. Researchers collect headache and migraine data from diaries and assess changes in monthly migraine days as the primary outcome. Safety is monitored by tracking treatment-related adverse events throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the use of Xeomin injections to prevent episodic migraine. This Phase 3 clinical trial compares Xeomin to placebo injections in the muscles of the head and neck to measure changes in the number of monthly migraine days. Participants have episodic migraine with or without aura, and the study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of different Xeomin doses over time. Participants receive a series of four Xeomin or placebo injections spaced about 12 weeks apart. The study includes two experimental groups receiving different Xeomin doses and a placebo group, followed by an extension period where some participants receive Xeomin. Injections are given at specific points around the head and neck. The trial lasts approximately 52 to 55 weeks, starting with a 4 to 5 week screening period. Participants attend about 14 visits, including the first and last visits and four treatment visits conducted on-site, with other visits done remotely by phone or video call. Researchers monitor changes in monthly migraine days, headache days, and medication use, as well as any treatment-related side effects throughout the study.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and tolerability of DB-1303BNT323 in adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that express HER2. This Phase 12a trial focuses on patients with tumors that are advanced, unresectable, recurrent, or metastatic and have limited or no standard treatment options. The study aims to identify the best dose and explore early signs of effectiveness in a variety of HER2-expressing cancers. The trial has two parts an initial dose-escalation phase using an accelerated titration followed by a classic 33 design to find the maximum tolerated dose MTD or recommended Phase 2 dose RP2D, and a dose-expansion phase to further assess safety, tolerability, and potential effects at the established dose. Participants receive DB-1303BNT323 by intravenous infusion once every three weeks Q3W at various dose levels. Some groups are randomized to receive different dose levels or combinations with other drugs like Pertuzumab, Ritonavir, or Itraconazole to study drug interactions and responses. During the study, participants will have regular assessments including monitoring for dose-limiting toxicities, adverse events, and serious adverse events using standard criteria up to about one year after treatment. Researchers will also evaluate tumor responses using RECIST 1.1 criteria and collect pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data. Other evaluations include heart function tests, organ function, and overall health status. The study duration varies per participant, with follow-up visits extending up to one year post-treatment to monitor safety and treatment effects.

Researchers are evaluating zanidatamab combined with chemotherapy for treating people with HER2-positive, early-stage breast cancer. This phase 2 study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of this combination compared to standard treatments in participants with newly diagnosed stage II or III invasive breast carcinoma. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups zanidatamab with paclitaxel, zanidatamab with docetaxel and carboplatin, or trastuzumab and pertuzumab with docetaxel and carboplatin. All study drugs are administered intravenously. After neoadjuvant therapy, participants will undergo either mastectomy or breast conserving surgery as decided by their physician. During the study, participants will have their response to treatment assessed through measurements such as pathologic complete response and residual cancer burden classification up to 8 months. Safety is monitored by tracking treatment-related adverse events up to 23 months. Other assessments include survival outcomes up to 46 months and serum concentrations of zanidatamab. The study participation may last several years to capture these outcomes.

Researchers are evaluating dotinurad, an oral drug, to lower serum uric acid levels in adults with gout who cannot tolerate xanthine oxidase inhibitors XOI or whose uricase treatment has failed. This Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to assess the drugs effectiveness and safety in this specific population. The primary goal is to see how many participants achieve a serum uric acid level below 6.0 mgdL at 24 weeks. Participants will be divided into two groups. One group will take dotinurad for 36 weeks, split into a 24-week initial period followed by a 12-week continuation. The other group will take a placebo for the first 24 weeks and then switch to dotinurad for the final 12 weeks. Dotinurad is given as an oral tablet, while the placebo capsules contain inactive ingredients. This design allows comparison of the drug against placebo and later observation of dotinurads effects. During the study, participants will have their serum uric acid measured at various points, especially at weeks 16, 20, 24, and up to week 40. Researchers will monitor treatment-emergent adverse events throughout the study period. Participants will be followed from screening through treatment and safety assessments, with the primary focus on uric acid levels at week 24. The total study duration for each participant covers screening and up to 40 weeks of follow-up.

Researchers are evaluating the combination of baxdrostat and dapagliflozin in people with chronic kidney disease CKD and high blood pressure hypertension. This Phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to assess whether this combination reduces the risk of serious kidney damage, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death compared to dapagliflozin alone. The study includes participants with CKD and hypertension who meet specific kidney function and blood pressure criteria. Participants who are not already taking SGLT2 inhibitors will first complete a 4-week dapagliflozin run-in period. Then, they will be randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat plus dapagliflozin or a placebo plus dapagliflozin. Baxdrostat dosing may start low and be increased if needed. Study visits will occur at 2, 4, 8, 16, 34, and 52 weeks after randomization, and then approximately every four months until the study ends, which is based on the number of key kidney or heart-related events. Throughout the study, participants will have regular assessments including blood tests to monitor kidney function and potassium levels, blood pressure measurements, and evaluations of heart and kidney health. If participants stop the blinded study drug early, they will continue dapagliflozin if possible and remain in the study for ongoing visits and monitoring. The main outcome is whether the combination treatment reduces the risk of a 50% sustained decline in kidney function, kidney failure, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death over up to 37 months.

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 efficacy, safety, and tolerability of combining elecoglipron and dapagliflozin compared to each drug alone in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus T2DM who have not achieved adequate control through lifestyle changes or other glucose-lowering medications. This Phase III study aims to better understand how these treatments work together in managing blood sugar levels in this population. Participants are randomly assigned to one of five groups two groups receive elecoglipron at different dose levels combined with dapagliflozin two groups receive elecoglipron at different dose levels combined with a placebo matching dapagliflozin and one group receives dapagliflozin alone with a placebo matching elecoglipron. All medications are taken orally once daily. The treatment period lasts 40 weeks, during which the effects of the drugs on blood sugar and other health measures will be monitored. Throughout the study, participants will have regular assessments of their blood sugar control, body weight, and blood pressure. Researchers will measure changes in Hemoglobin A1c HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, and self-monitored blood glucose levels. Other outcomes include weight loss and the need for rescue medication. Safety and tolerability will be closely monitored. Participation in the trial lasts for 40 weeks, during which participants will attend scheduled visits for evaluation and medication monitoring.

Researchers are evaluating efimosfermin alfa in adults with biopsy-confirmed metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis MASH and stage F2 or F3 liver fibrosis.
