This study consists of 2 week screening period in which subjects who have consented will be evaluated for eligibility per protocol requirements. During this 2 week screening period subjects will be given access to ediary in which they will be required to self report symptoms of IBS-C daily. Information in ediary will also be used to determine eligibility prior to enrollment. During the 4 week RTP (Randomized treatment period), subjects will be randomized in in a ratio of 5:1 to receive tenapanor or matching placebo for 4 weeks. During the RTP, patients will continue recording daily assessments in the eDiary system as instructed and compliance with eDiary entries will be monitored. Patients will return for study visit every weeks (Visits 3-6) and will undergo safety assessments as per the protocol. At the end of this 4 week period, subjects will complete 2 week treatment free follow-up period and safety assessments per protocol will be conducted at the end of this 2 week period. The study plans to enroll up to 6 cohorts of eligible patients sequentially, starting from Cohort 1 with 12 patients randomized in to receive tenapanor 2 mg BID or matching placebo for 4 weeks. Subsequent cohorts will assess increasing tenapanor doses, following a dose escalation order. The study will proceed to the next dosing cohort if the current cohort completes the 4-week RTP and does not meet any of the dose escalation stopping criteria pre-specified in the protocol.

Researchers are looking for ways to treat germinal center B-cell-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (GCB DLBCL). DLBCL is a fast-growing blood cancer that affects B-cells. GCB is a type of DLBCL that affects young B-cells that are still maturing. The goal of this study is to learn if more people who receive zilovertamab vedotin (MK-2140) and R-CHP have the cancer respond (go away) than those who receive polatuzumab vedotin and R-CHP.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety, tolerability, and lasting effects of ALKS 2680 tablets in adults aged 18 to 70 years with Narcolepsy Type 1, Narcolepsy Type 2, or Idiopathic Hypersomnia. This study continues from earlier trials and aims to monitor how well the treatment works and how safe it is over an extended period. Participants receive daily oral doses of ALKS 2680 tablets in varying strengths ranging from 4 mg to 18 mg. The study is an open-label, long-term extension, meaning all participants know they are receiving ALKS 2680 as they continue treatment after completing a prior parent study. The dose is administered once daily, and the study focuses on ongoing monitoring rather than comparing to a placebo. During the study, participants are regularly assessed for any treatment-emergent adverse events up to 100 weeks. Safety evaluations include clinical assessments, laboratory tests, and monitoring for any new health issues. Researchers track the ability to tolerate the medication and the durability of its effect on symptoms. This long-term follow-up helps ensure comprehensive understanding of the treatment's impact over time.

Researchers are conducting a prospective, longitudinal, non-interventional, multicenter study to profile molecular biomarkers in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The study focuses on individuals with metastatic or unresectable, recurrent HNSCC who are receiving standard of care treatment. The aim is to explore DNA, RNA, immune, and other multiomic biomarkers to better understand prognostic or predictive indicators that could inform future research on relevant biomarkers. Participants will provide tissue and blood samples for molecular biomarker profiling throughout their standard treatment, which involves first line anti-PD1 or PDL1 monotherapy or combination therapy. Tumor tissue samples representative of the current disease must be submitted according to laboratory guidelines. This observational study does not involve any investigational treatments or interventions beyond the participants' usual care. During the study, participants will undergo molecular analyses of their tissue and blood samples over a period of up to 5 years. Researchers will monitor multiomic biomarkers to identify prognostic or predictive factors. The study includes follow-up to collect data that may support the discovery of new biomarkers. Participants must be willing and able to comply with study procedures, including additional blood sample collections.

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 safety, tolerability, and biomarker effects of VS-041 in adults aged 50 years and older who have Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF). This phase 1 trial focuses on participants diagnosed according to established criteria and classified as NYHA Functional Class II or III, with specific heart function and biomarker thresholds. The study aims to better understand how VS-041 works in this population by monitoring heart-related biomarkers and side effects over time. Participants will receive either a high dose or low dose of VS-041, or a matching placebo tablet, taken twice daily. The study treatment lasts for 28 days, during which researchers will track changes in specific blood biomarkers such as NordicPRO-C6, endotrophin, and NT-proBNP. These biomarkers help measure the heart condition and response to the treatment. The trial includes careful dosing and monitoring to assess safety and tolerability. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments to check for any treatment-emergent adverse events and changes in biomarker levels from baseline up to day 28. The evaluations may include blood tests and clinical exams to monitor heart function and overall health. Participants are required to maintain stable doses of their usual heart failure medications and comply with trial procedures for the entire duration. The total participation period is focused on the 28-day treatment and observation window.

Researchers are investigating the best way to combine chemotherapy and radiation therapy based on how patients with localized non-germinomatous germ cell tumors (NGGCT) in the brain respond to initial chemotherapy. This phase II study aims to optimize radiation treatment for those who respond well to induction chemotherapy to reduce spinal cord relapses, and to use higher dose chemotherapy followed by conventional radiation for patients who do not respond as well. The study evaluates various chemotherapy drugs that work to stop tumor growth in different ways and uses radiation therapy with high-energy x-rays or protons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Participants receive induction chemotherapy with drugs including carboplatin, etoposide, ifosfamide, and thiotepa over multiple cycles. Based on their response, patients are assigned to one of two treatment plans: those with a good response receive whole ventricular plus spinal canal irradiation (WVSCI) radiation therapy, while those with less favorable responses may receive high-dose chemotherapy with peripheral blood stem cell transplantation followed by radiation therapy. Some patients may also undergo second-look surgery depending on their tumor response. Treatments are carefully scheduled and monitored for up to six weeks for radiation and multiple cycles for chemotherapy. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including MRI scans, cerebrospinal fluid and blood sample collections, and neurocognitive and quality of life evaluations. Researchers monitor tumor response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and treatment side effects for up to 10 years after treatment. Additional evaluations compare outcomes based on radiation type and assess growth and blood counts in younger patients. Patient safety and treatment effectiveness are closely followed throughout the study period.

Researchers are comparing how long participants with KRAS/NRAS and BRAF wild-type recurrent, unresectable, or metastatic colorectal cancer remain disease-free and their overall survival time when treated with two different regimens. This phase 3 study focuses on patients who have previously received chemotherapy. The study aims to evaluate progression-free survival and overall survival in participants receiving amivantamab plus FOLFIRI versus cetuximab or bevacizumab plus FOLFIRI. The study involves two treatment groups: one receiving amivantamab combined with chemotherapy drugs 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium or levoleucovorin, and irinotecan (FOLFIRI), and the other receiving either cetuximab or bevacizumab with the same chemotherapy regimen. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of these treatment arms. The treatments will be administered according to protocol to assess their effects on the cancer. Participants will be monitored for up to 2 years and 1 month to measure progression-free survival through blinded independent central review and followed for overall survival for up to 4 years and 4 months. The study includes assessments of tumor response, safety, and other clinical evaluations. Tissue samples and detailed clinical data will also be collected. This comprehensive monitoring will help determine the comparative effectiveness of the treatment options over time.

This trial is focused on adults with KRAS/NRAS and BRAF wild-type unresectable or metastatic left-sided colorectal cancer. It compares the length of time participants remain free from disease progression when treated with amivantamab combined with chemotherapy regimens (mFOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI) versus cetuximab combined with the same chemotherapy regimens. The study is a randomized, open-label Phase 3 clinical trial designed to evaluate progression-free survival over a period of up to 4 years and 2 months. Participants receive either amivantamab with chemotherapy drugs including 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium or levoleucovorin, oxaliplatin, or irinotecan hydrochloride, or cetuximab with the same chemotherapy regimens (mFOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI). Treatments are administered as first-line therapy for their colorectal cancer. The trial assesses how these treatments affect disease progression and survival. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly through assessments and evaluations to measure progression-free survival. Researchers will gather data via blinded independent central review to ensure unbiased assessment of disease status. Participants are followed up for safety and treatment efficacy over the study duration, which may last over four years.

The primary purpose of the study is to assess how well amivantamab in combination with lazertinib or in combination with chemotherapy works (antitumor activity) in participants with epidermal growth factor receptor mutated (EGFRm) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC; that is one of the major types of lung cancer).
