Researchers are evaluating ziltivekimab as a treatment for people living with heart failure and inflammation. This Phase 3 study compares ziltivekimab to a placebo in participants with heart failure who have mild to preserved ejection fraction and systemic inflammation. The study aims to assess the effect of ziltivekimab on cardiovascular death, heart failure hospitalization, or urgent heart failure visits over a period of up to 4 years. Participants will receive monthly injections of either ziltivekimab or a placebo using a pre-filled syringe or a pen-injector. The study medication is administered subcutaneously once a month for up to 4 years. The trial includes up to 20 clinic visits during which participants will be monitored and assessed. During the study, participants will use a study app on their phone to record all injections and complete questionnaires. Researchers will monitor participants for key outcomes like cardiovascular events and heart failure episodes from the time of randomization until the end of the study. Safety and health status will be regularly evaluated throughout the study period, which may last up to 48 months.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of a combination treatment including adagrasib, pembrolizumab, and platinum-doublet chemotherapy compared to a placebo combined with pembrolizumab and platinum-doublet chemotherapy. This study focuses on adults with previously untreated, locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a KRAS G12C mutation. The trial is a randomized, double-blind, phase 3 study designed to provide insights into treatment options for this specific lung cancer type. Participants receive either adagrasib plus pembrolizumab alongside platinum-doublet chemotherapy drugs such as carboplatin or cisplatin and pemetrexed, or they receive a placebo plus pembrolizumab and the same chemotherapy regimen. The dosages and schedules of these drugs are specified and administered on predetermined days. The trial compares these two treatment groups to understand better the impact of adding adagrasib to the existing pembrolizumab and chemotherapy treatment. Throughout the study, participants are closely monitored for progression-free survival and overall survival, assessed up to seven years using standardized criteria for tumor response. Regular imaging scans such as CT or MRI are used to measure disease status. Safety and tolerability are also evaluated during the study, with ongoing assessments to track adverse effects and treatment response. The total duration of follow-up allows for long-term observation of treatment outcomes and participant health.

Researchers are evaluating how well elacestrant works compared to standard endocrine therapy in adults with node-positive, Estrogen Receptor-positive (ER+), Human Epidermal Growth Factor-2 negative (HER2-) early breast cancer who are at high risk of the cancer returning. This is a Phase 3 global, multicenter, randomized, open-label study focusing on participants who have had early invasive breast cancer removed and meet specific receptor and risk criteria. The study aims to understand which treatment better prevents invasive breast cancer over up to five years. Participants will receive either elacestrant or one of several standard endocrine therapies, including anastrozole, letrozole, exemestane, or tamoxifen, all given as oral tablets. Treatments will be administered according to the study plan, with careful monitoring throughout the trial. The study includes adults who have already received between 24 and 60 months of prior endocrine therapy, with or without certain inhibitors, and who have completed or stopped these treatments as required. During the study, participants will be monitored for invasive breast cancer-free survival for up to five years. Researchers will perform regular assessments to track treatment effects, side effects, and cancer recurrence. The study also includes safety monitoring and may involve additional tests or evaluations as needed to ensure participant well-being throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the combination of fruquintinib and FOLFIRI as a second-line treatment for participants with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). This open-label, multicenter Phase II study focuses on participants who have previously received FOLFOX and Bevacizumab-based first-line therapy. The study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of this combination in treating mCRC, especially in those with histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum. Participants will receive oral fruquintinib daily for the first 21 days of each 28-day cycle. In addition, FOLFIRI will be administered intravenously every two weeks on day 1 of each 28-day cycle, consisting of irinotecan, leucovorin, and 5-fluorouracil delivered by bolus and continuous infusion. Up to 60 participants will receive this combination treatment and be monitored throughout the study. During the study, participants will be assessed every two cycles (each cycle lasting 28 days) for up to two years or until disease progression or death. Researchers will measure progression-free survival at six months as the primary outcome. Safety and efficacy will be closely monitored through regular evaluations, including physical exams, laboratory tests, and imaging to track tumor response and treatment effects.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of combining golcadomide with rituximab compared to the investigator's choice of treatment in adults with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma who have already received at least one prior systemic therapy. This Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, open-label study focuses on participants with confirmed follicular lymphoma grades 1, 2, 3a, or classic FL, who have measurable, PET-positive disease and require anti-lymphoma treatment. Participants will be assigned to receive either golcadomide plus rituximab or the investigator's choice of therapy, which may include drugs such as lenalidomide, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone/prednisolone, or bendamustine. Each drug will be given at specified doses on specified days as determined by the study protocol. The study monitors treatment effects over time with a planned follow-up of up to approximately 32 months. During the study, participants will undergo various assessments including imaging scans to measure disease progression, laboratory tests, and evaluations by an independent review committee to determine progression-free survival. Safety and response to treatment will be closely monitored throughout the study. Participants must meet specific health and laboratory criteria to join and will be followed for outcomes related to disease control and treatment safety.

Researchers are evaluating the study medicine PF-08046054 compared to the standard chemotherapy drug docetaxel in adults with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery or radiation. Participants must have PD-L1 expression on 1% or more of their tumor cells and have experienced cancer progression during or after treatment with PD-L1 or PD-1 inhibitors, platinum-based chemotherapy, and targeted therapies for those with known genetic mutations. The trial is a Phase 3 randomized study to better understand how well PF-08046054 works alone compared to docetaxel alone. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either PF-08046054 or docetaxel. Those in the PF-08046054 group will get intravenous (IV) infusions twice every 21-day cycle, while those in the docetaxel group will receive one IV infusion every 21 days. The treatment period may last up to 5 years if their NSCLC responds to the therapy. No other treatments are combined during the study period. Throughout the study, participants will have regular clinic visits for evaluations and monitoring to see how they respond to the treatment. Researchers will collect information on overall survival over approximately 5 years. They will also monitor safety and disease progression during these visits to understand the long-term effects and benefits of the treatments.

Researchers are evaluating a new medicine called PF-08634404 combined with chemotherapy for people aged 18 and older who have locally advanced or metastatic gastric, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal adenocarcinoma. The study includes participants who have not received prior treatment for advanced or metastatic disease and are in good health based on medical tests. This research is designed as a Phase 2/3 trial to learn about safety, response, and compare this new treatment to an approved therapy called nivolumab plus chemotherapy. The study has two parts: the first part assesses the safety and response to PF-08634404 with chemotherapy, and the second part compares this combination to nivolumab with chemotherapy. Treatments are given intravenously in repeated cycles. Participants receive either PF-08634404 plus chemotherapy or nivolumab plus chemotherapy based on the study phase and group assignment. During the study, participants undergo regular evaluations including medical tests to monitor organ function and safety. Researchers will measure treatment response using RECIST 1.1 criteria, track adverse events, and assess progression-free survival and overall survival over approximately four years. Follow-up continues through 90 days after the last treatment to monitor side effects and overall health.

Researchers are evaluating whether the medicine vicadrostat, combined with empagliflozin, helps adults with chronic heart failure (HF) who have a weakened heart pumping function, specifically a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) below 40%. Eligible participants must have been diagnosed with chronic HF at least 3 months before joining. The study is a Phase III trial designed to compare the effects of vicadrostat plus empagliflozin against placebo plus empagliflozin in people with symptomatic chronic HF classified as New York Heart Association classes II to IV. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group takes tablets containing vicadrostat and empagliflozin, while the other group takes placebo tablets that look like vicadrostat along with empagliflozin. Tablets are taken once daily for a period ranging from about 6 months up to about 3.5 years. Participants continue their usual heart failure treatments during the study. The study is double-blind, meaning neither the participants nor the study staff know who is receiving which treatment. During the study, participants regularly visit the study site or may have phone contacts for follow-up. They answer questions about their health and well-being. Doctors monitor and record any worsening of heart failure symptoms, hospital visits due to heart failure, or deaths. They also check participants' overall health and note any side effects. The main outcome measured is the time until a participant experiences cardiovascular death, hospitalization for heart failure, or an urgent heart failure visit, over up to 43 months of follow-up.

This study is open to adults aged 18 or above legal age with heart failure. People can join the study if they have heart failure symptoms and a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 40% or more. The purpose of this study is to find out whether vicadrostat (BI 690517) in combination with empagliflozin helps people with heart failure. Participants are put into 2 groups by chance. Every participant has an equal chance of being in each group. The groups are: * Vicadrostat/empagliflozin group: participants take vicadrostat/empagliflozin as tablets once a day. * Placebo/empagliflozin group: participants take placebo/empagliflozin as tablets once a day. Participants can stay in the study as long as they benefit from treatment and can tolerate it. During this time, they visit their doctors regularly. The doctors regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects. The study staff may also contact the participants by phone. Participants also regularly answer questions about their well-being. The study does not have a fixed duration. It continues until there is enough data to see if the treatment is working.

Researchers are evaluating a new medicine called Sofetabart Mipitecan (LY4170156) in adults with certain types of ovarian, peritoneal, and fallopian tube cancers. This phase 3 study has two parts: Part A focuses on participants whose cancer no longer responds to platinum-based chemotherapy, while Part B includes those whose cancer still responds to platinum-based treatments. The study aims to compare Sofetabart Mipitecan against current standard treatments and to better understand its safety. Participants receive treatments administered through intravenous (IV) infusions. In Part A, Sofetabart Mipitecan is compared with various chemotherapy drugs or mirvetuximab soravtansine. In Part B, Sofetabart Mipitecan combined with bevacizumab is compared with platinum-based chemotherapy plus bevacizumab. Each participant's time in the study depends on how they respond to the treatment. During the study, researchers monitor participants for progression-free survival, measuring the time from randomization until cancer progression or death, for up to 70 months. Participants undergo assessments including scans to track tumor changes and evaluations of safety and side effects. The study collects tumor tissue samples and monitors participants' health status regularly to understand treatment effects and safety over time.
