Researchers are evaluating the safety and efficacy of the study drug LY4065967 for treating diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain DPNP. This trial is part of a larger chronic pain master protocol designed to accelerate the development of new treatments for chronic pain conditions. The study focuses on adults with DPNP related to type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either LY4065967 or a placebo, both taken orally. The study is double-blinded, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives the active drug or placebo. The treatment period lasts eight weeks, during which participants take the assigned study drug daily. Throughout the trial, participants will report their pain intensity and other symptoms at the start and after eight weeks using various scales, including the Numeric Rating Scale and Brief Pain Inventory. Researchers will also monitor sleep quality, emotional functioning, and the use of rescue medication. Safety and tolerability will be assessed, and the study concludes in July 2027.

Researchers are conducting a master protocol study to evaluate multiple pain treatments for people experiencing chronic pain conditions such as osteoarthritis of the knee, diabetic neuropathic pain, and chronic low back pain. This study aims to compare different pain interventions by using a flexible design where specific intervention appendices ISAs can begin independently as new treatments become available. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and is designed as a phase 2 randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Participants may receive one of several study drugs administered either intravenously or orally, including LY3016859 given through IV and LY3556050, LY3526318, and LY3857210 given orally. Each treatment group is compared to a matching placebo group. The study uses a parallel design where participants are assigned randomly to one of the intervention groups or placebo. The protocol includes disease-state addenda to define target populations and assessment scales for each pain condition. During the trial, participants undergo screening to confirm eligibility based on pain levels, history, and health status. They are monitored for outcomes such as the number of participants allocated to each intervention up to week 8. Researchers assess pain and other health measures while participants maintain consistent use of any ongoing non-drug pain therapies and discontinue other chronic pain medications except for rescue use. The study includes safety monitoring and will continue through April 2027, with results posted for each intervention.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of KarXT combined with KarX-EC in adults aged 55 to 90 who have agitation related to Alzheimers Disease. This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to address agitation symptoms in this population by comparing the investigational drugs with a placebo. The study is sponsored by Bristol-Myers Squibb and uses established diagnostic criteria for Alzheimers Disease. Participants will receive either the combination of XanomelineTrospium Chloride capsules KarXT KarX-EC or a placebo with specified doses on designated days. The study includes a parallel group design and treatment lasts for 14 weeks. The main focus is to assess changes in agitation using the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory-International Psychogeriatric Association CMAI-IPA total score. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including cognitive and behavioral evaluations, safety monitoring through vital signs, laboratory tests, electrocardiograms, and rating scales for movement disorders and suicidal ideation. Caregivers will be involved to help monitor participant status and medication compliance. The primary outcome is measured at Week 14, with safety follow-up extending to Week 18. Participants are expected to be engaged throughout the treatment period and follow-up assessments.

This research aims to evaluate whether participants who previously took donanemab receive clinical benefits from annual doses of the drug. The study focuses on individuals with Alzheimer Disease, Dementia, and Amyloid Plaque accumulation. Sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company, it is a phase 3 trial designed to assess the treatments effects over a long period. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either donanemab or a placebo through intravenous IV administration. The study follows a parallel design with double masking to compare the outcomes between the two groups. The treatment period lasts up to 2.5 years, during which participants will have six visits, including drug administration and monitoring. Throughout the study, participants will undergo evaluations such as the Clinical Dementia Rating - Sum of Boxes CDR-SB, Cognitive Function Index CFI, brain amyloid plaque imaging with Florbetapir F 18 PET scans, and plasma tests for phosphorylated tau protein. Pharmacokinetics of donanemab will be measured at baseline, week 52, and week 104. The study involves close monitoring of safety and clinical changes over the entire duration.

Researchers are studying the effects of KarXT combined with KarX-EC to treat cognitive impairment in people with mild to moderate Alzheimers Disease. This Phase 3 clinical trial aims to evaluate both the efficacy and safety of this treatment compared to a placebo, focusing on improving cognitive function and daily living activities over 24 weeks. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the active drugs KarXT and KarX-EC or a placebo, following specified dosing schedules. The study uses a double-blind, parallel-group design, meaning neither the participants nor the researchers know who receives the active treatment or placebo during the trial period. Participants will be monitored through various assessments including cognitive scales like the Alzheimers Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale 11 ADAS-Cog11 and clinician interviews at baseline and week 24. Safety will be closely observed via monitoring adverse events, vital signs, laboratory tests, and heart function tests. The total duration of participation includes treatment and follow-up until study completion.

This trial investigates adults aged 45 to 80 with elevated Lipoproteina Lpa levels, who either have existing cardiovascular disease or are at risk for a first cardiovascular event. The study aims to evaluate how lepodisiran, compared to a placebo, affects the amount and type of plaque in the coronary arteries using Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography CCTA. Lipoproteina is a protein carrying cholesterol and is linked to higher heart disease risk. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either lepodisiran or a placebo through subcutaneous injections. The study lasts about 120 weeks, with primary evaluation of changes in noncalcified plaque volume at baseline and at week 104. Secondary measures include changes in fat attenuation index scores, Lpa levels over time, participant feedback on drug administration, and pharmacokinetic analysis. Throughout the study, participants will undergo imaging assessments, blood tests to monitor Lpa levels, and questionnaires regarding treatment experience. The main outcome is the percent change in noncalcified plaque volume in heart vessels. The study includes safety monitoring and continues follow-up to assess effects comprehensively over the study period.

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.

Researchers are reviewing anonymous medical records from multiple centers to understand the outcomes of different treatments for chronic pain. This study includes several groups to assess how various approaches work in distinct patient subgroups. The focus is on patients who have had or may have spinal cord stimulation systems or other treatments like radiofrequency RF or intradiscal therapies IDS. The study looks at patients who have previously received spinal cord stimulation or other therapies and those who have switched to different treatments afterward. Treatments under review include Boston Scientific devices and non-Boston Scientific systems such as spinal cord stimulation, RF, and IDS. The data is retrospective, meaning it examines past patient experiences without introducing new treatments. Participants involvement consists of the analysis of their de-identified medical charts, with no active treatment or visits required. Researchers will measure responder rates approximately two years from the start of data collection to evaluate treatment outcomes. The study spans from April 2012 to December 2030, focusing on long-term clinical results in chronic pain management.
