Researchers are evaluating tulisokibart as a potential treatment for radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA), a type of arthritis causing pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the spine and pelvis joints, visible on X-rays. This Phase 2b study aims to determine if different doses of tulisokibart improve symptoms better than a placebo, which looks like the study medicine but contains no active drug. The study has two main parts: a 16-week placebo-controlled period where participants receive either tulisokibart or placebo through subcutaneous injections, followed by a 124-week long-term extension divided into a 40-week main extension and an 84-week optional extension. This allows researchers to assess both the short-term and longer-term effects and safety of tulisokibart. Participants will be monitored for their response using the Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society (ASAS) 40 response at week 16 as the primary outcome. Throughout the study, researchers will evaluate disease activity and safety while tracking symptoms and any side effects. The total involvement spans up to 140 weeks, including both initial treatment and extension phases.

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 the safety and tolerability of AMG 691 in both healthy adults and adults with mild-to-moderate asthma. This Phase 1 study aims to assess how participants respond to single and multiple doses of AMG 691 compared to a placebo. The study includes adults aged 18 to 70 years and focuses on understanding the drug's effects in these populations. Participants receive either AMG 691 or a placebo through subcutaneous injections. The study includes single ascending dose and multiple ascending dose periods to carefully monitor reactions to different dosing levels. Healthy participants receive single or multiple doses, while participants with asthma receive multiple doses. Female participants must be of non-childbearing potential or use effective contraception if of childbearing potential. During the study, participants undergo medical evaluations, lung function tests, blood tests, and monitoring for any treatment-emergent adverse events over approximately 11 months. Researchers track lung function measures such as forced expiratory volume and biomarkers like blood eosinophils and exhaled nitric oxide. Safety and tolerability are closely monitored through regular assessments and questionnaires to evaluate asthma control and overall health.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of three different doses of MORF-057 in adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD). This Phase 2 study is randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and conducted at multiple centers. It aims to compare MORF-057 to placebo to see how well it works in reducing disease activity and symptoms in this patient population. Participants will first go through a 14-week induction period where they receive one of three doses of MORF-057 or a matching placebo, all given orally. After this, all participants will enter a 38-week maintenance phase where they receive open-label MORF-057. Those who complete these 52 weeks of treatment may continue in a 52-week long-term extension to further monitor treatment effects and safety. Throughout the study, participants will have evaluations to assess their response to treatment using endoscopic scoring at Week 14. Researchers will monitor safety, symptom changes, and disease activity over the full treatment and extension periods. Study visits will include assessments, questionnaires, and clinical monitoring to track participants' health and treatment adherence over time.

Researchers are conducting a Phase 2, multicenter platform study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of several investigational treatments for adults with moderately to severely active Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), including Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. The study focuses on assessing multiple experimental oral or injectable therapies to better understand their effects on these conditions. Participants will receive one of the study drugs, MT-501 or MT-201, as part of this evaluation. The study aims to gather data on how these treatments perform in terms of safety, how the body processes them (pharmacokinetics), and their biological effects (pharmacodynamics). Treatment effects will be measured over a period of up to 13 weeks. During the study, participants will be monitored for any side effects, serious adverse events, and laboratory test changes. Researchers will also assess the participants' clinical remission status and improvements seen through endoscopic evaluations at 12 to 13 weeks. The total involvement duration includes screening and treatment periods, with careful tracking of outcomes and safety throughout.

Researchers are evaluating AZD0780, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor, in a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study to see if it can reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE-PLUS) in adults with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or those at high risk for a first ASCVD event. The study compares AZD0780 to a placebo and monitors participants from randomization until the primary analysis censoring date, followed by a final study closure visit. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either oral AZD0780 or an oral placebo once daily. The treatment period lasts until the primary analysis censoring date, after which a study closure visit will occur. The study is event-driven and designed to assess the time to the first major cardiovascular event during treatment. During the study, participants will be closely monitored with various assessments to evaluate cardiovascular outcomes and safety over approximately 54 months. Researchers will track the time to first event of any component of MACE-PLUS and collect data to assess the effect of AZD0780 compared to placebo. The study includes regular visits and evaluations to ensure participant safety and adherence to treatment.

This research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of efimosfermin alfa in improving liver fibrosis and resolving steatohepatitis in adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) confirmed by biopsy showing stage F2 or F3 fibrosis. The study compares efimosfermin alfa to a placebo and focuses on individuals with confirmed liver damage and metabolic syndrome features. Participants will receive either efimosfermin alfa or placebo, administered as a drug treatment. The study is designed as a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with three groups. Treatment effects will be assessed over 52 weeks, with a primary focus on liver fibrosis and steatohepatitis changes. The study includes long-term monitoring of liver-related clinical outcomes up to 48 months after randomization. During the study, participants will undergo liver biopsies confirmed by central pathology review, and researchers will monitor liver function and fibrosis improvement. Outcome measures include the proportion of participants showing fibrosis improvement without worsening steatohepatitis, resolution of steatohepatitis with stable fibrosis, and time to liver-related clinical events. Safety and efficacy will be closely evaluated throughout the treatment and follow-up periods.

Researchers are studying the effectiveness and safety of a combination inhaler containing fluticasone propionate and albuterol sulfate delivered through a multidose dry powder inhaler with an electronic module (Fp/ABS eMDPI). This Phase 3 trial focuses on people aged 12 years and older who have asthma. The study also looks at the safety and tolerability of this inhaler when used four times daily over four weeks, as well as the pharmacokinetics of the combination and its individual components after a single dose. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the Fp/ABS combination inhaler, fluticasone propionate alone, albuterol sulfate alone, or a placebo inhaler. All treatments are given as inhalation powders. The main treatment period lasts four weeks, during which the inhalers are taken four times a day. The total study duration for each participant is about 10 weeks, not counting an optional prescreening visit. Throughout the study, researchers will measure lung function changes, specifically forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), from baseline to week 4. Participants will undergo assessments including lung function tests and safety evaluations. The study monitors how the inhaler affects breathing over time and checks for any side effects or tolerability issues during the treatment period.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of ENERGI-F703 GEL compared to a placebo gel in adults with diabetic foot ulcers classified as Wagner Grade 1 or Grade 2. This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled study includes participants with ulcers of different sizes and aims to understand how well the gel helps in healing these ulcers. The study involves multiple centers and uses stratification based on ulcer size to balance treatment groups. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either ENERGI-F703 GEL or a matching placebo gel along with standard care for their diabetic foot ulcers. The treatment phase lasts 16 weeks during which the gels are applied. The entire study duration can last up to 31 weeks, including a screening period of approximately 2 to 3 weeks before treatment and a 12-week safety follow-up after the last treatment dose. During the study, participants will undergo assessments to monitor ulcer healing, focusing on the complete closure rate of the ulcer by week 16. Researchers will also track safety through follow-up visits for 12 weeks after treatment ends. Participants will be evaluated regularly for ulcer size, condition, and overall health to measure treatment outcomes and ensure safety throughout the study.
