Researchers are evaluating the drug disitamab vedotin, alone or combined with pembrolizumab, to treat urothelial cancer that expresses HER2. This cancer is locally advanced, cannot be removed by surgery, or has spread to other parts of the body. The study aims to see how well the drug works and how safe it is for participants by monitoring side effects and treatment responses. Participants will receive disitamab vedotin through an intravenous (IV) infusion every two weeks. Pembrolizumab, when given, is administered by IV on the first day of each six-week cycle. The study includes several groups, called cohorts, each with different treatment histories and eligibility criteria. Treatment and evaluation may continue for about two years. During the study, participants will have regular tests including scans to measure tumor response, lab tests, heart function checks, and monitoring for adverse events. Researchers will also track drug levels in the blood and any changes in heart function. The study will assess confirmed tumor responses and safety outcomes over approximately two years, with close monitoring to understand how participants respond to the treatments and any side effects experienced.

Researchers are investigating the effectiveness of dotinurad compared to allopurinol in lowering serum uric acid (sUA) levels in adults with hyperuricemia related to gout. This phase 3, randomized, double-blind trial focuses on adults aged 18 to 75 who have had gout for at least one year and experienced multiple gout flares in the past year. The study aims to assess the percentage of participants achieving an sUA level below 6.0 mg/dL at 24 weeks. Participants receive either dotinurad or allopurinol as oral over-encapsulated tablets. Allopurinol doses range from 200 mg/day for those with moderate kidney impairment to 600 mg/day, with participants maintaining a stable dose for at least three months before starting the study. The trial includes a 24-week treatment period where the effects of these medications on uric acid levels are monitored and compared. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including serum uric acid measurements at screening and throughout the 24 weeks. Female participants of childbearing potential have pregnancy tests and must agree to contraception requirements. Researchers monitor safety, treatment adherence, and gout flare history to evaluate the treatments' efficacy and tolerability over the study period.

Researchers are evaluating a drug called sigvotatug vedotin alone and in combination with pembrolizumab, with or without chemotherapy, to determine its safety and effects in people with various advanced solid tumors. This Phase 1 study includes participants with specific cancers like non-small cell lung cancer, head and neck squamous cell cancer, HER2-negative breast cancer, esophageal cancers, ovarian cancer, and others. The trial aims to find out the side effects of sigvotatug vedotin and whether it can treat these solid tumors effectively. The study is divided into four parts. Part A focuses on finding the right dose of sigvotatug vedotin. Part B tests the safety and effectiveness of that dose. Parts C and D look at the safety and effectiveness of sigvotatug vedotin combined with pembrolizumab alone or with chemotherapy drugs carboplatin or cisplatin. Participants receive these drugs intravenously, with pembrolizumab given every 3 or 6 weeks and chemotherapy every 3 weeks depending on the drug. During the study, participants undergo tumor biopsies, physical exams, and disease assessments to monitor treatment effects. Researchers track side effects, lab abnormalities, and dose-limiting toxicities for up to 30-37 days after the last dose of sigvotatug vedotin, and for up to 3 years after pembrolizumab treatment. The study follows participants with regular safety monitoring and evaluations of tumor response throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of Suzetrigine tablets in adults with pain caused by diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). This phase 3 study compares Suzetrigine to a placebo and to Pregabalin capsules, both taken orally. Participants have type 1 or type 2 diabetes with nerve pain in their lower legs and meet specific pain severity levels. Participants receive either Suzetrigine tablets or a matching placebo, and some receive Pregabalin capsules or a matching placebo. The study is randomized and double-blind, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives which treatment during the trial. Treatments are taken orally over a 12-week period to assess their impact on pain. During the study, participants track their daily pain intensity using a numeric pain rating scale. Researchers measure the change in average weekly pain score from baseline to week 12. Safety, tolerability, and any side effects are monitored throughout. Participants must meet weight and body mass index criteria and have stable pain levels before starting. The total participation time includes a baseline period and 12 weeks of treatment.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of an oral drug called VX-993 in adults experiencing pain related to Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN), a painful condition caused by nerve damage due to diabetes. This Phase 2 study compares VX-993 to pregabalin, a drug commonly used to treat nerve pain, as well as to placebo treatments matched to each drug. Participants will receive tablets of VX-993 or capsules of pregabalin, or matching placebos, in a dose-ranging, randomized, double-blind, parallel design. The study aims to assess responses to these treatments over a set period, focusing on reducing pain intensity associated with DPN. During the 12-week treatment period, participants' daily pain intensity will be regularly measured using a numeric pain rating scale to track changes from the start of the study. Researchers will monitor safety, tolerability, and treatment effects throughout the study. The trial includes adults aged 18 to 80 years with diabetes and chronic nerve pain in their lower limbs due to DPN.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of a drug called PF-07220060 combined with letrozole compared to other approved treatments (palbociclib, ribociclib, or abemaciclib with letrozole) in adults with breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative. This cancer has spread locally or to other parts of the body and has not been treated with systemic anti-cancer therapy for advanced or metastatic disease. The study is a Phase 3, open-label, randomized trial involving multiple centers. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either PF-07220060 plus letrozole or the investigator's choice of one of the approved CDK4/6 inhibitors (palbociclib, ribociclib, or abemaciclib) combined with letrozole. The treatments are given as drugs with letrozole serving as endocrine therapy. The study compares these treatments in terms of how well they control the cancer and their safety profiles. Participants will visit the study clinic regularly for monitoring during treatment. Researchers will assess how long participants live without their disease worsening or dying from any cause, which is the main outcome measured up to about four years. The study team will monitor each participant's health and response to treatment through these visits to gather information about treatment effects and safety.
