Researchers are assessing the safety and effects of Ritlecitinib, a study medicine, for treating hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), a condition causing long-lasting, painful red skin lumps. This phase 2 study focuses on adults with moderate to severe HS who have not responded well to or cannot tolerate antibiotics. The goal is to compare experiences and outcomes between those receiving Ritlecitinib and those receiving a placebo. Participants will be randomly assigned to take either Ritlecitinib or a placebo pill once daily at home. The treatment involves an initial loading dose of Ritlecitinib for 8 weeks, followed by an 8-week maintenance dose, totaling 16 weeks of treatment. The placebo group will receive a matching pill with no active medicine. Over approximately 24 weeks, including screening and follow-up, participants will attend around 10 clinic visits for health evaluations, including physical exams, blood and urine tests, vital signs, chest X-rays, ECGs, hearing tests, and questionnaires. They will also track their medication intake and HS symptoms daily using an electronic diary on a mobile phone. The study will measure how many patients achieve at least a 50% improvement in HS symptoms by week 16 to evaluate treatment response and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of tenapanor in adults with Chronic Idiopathic Constipation (CIC) in this 26-week phase 3 study. The study is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, involving multiple centers. It aims to compare three doses of tenapanor (5 mg, 25 mg, and 50 mg taken twice daily) against a placebo, with a focus on improving spontaneous bowel movements. Participants will first undergo a 2-week screening where their eligibility is assessed through medical history, physical exams, lab tests, ECG, and self-reported constipation symptoms using an electronic diary (eDiary). Eligible patients will then be randomly assigned to receive one of the three doses of tenapanor or placebo twice daily for 26 weeks. During this treatment period, patients will continue daily and weekly symptom reporting via the eDiary and attend regular safety visits at weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 26. After completing the 26-week treatment, patients enter a 4-week treatment-free safety follow-up period to monitor any adverse events. A final visit occurs at the end of this follow-up to assess safety. The main outcome measured is the durable complete spontaneous bowel movements response over 12 weeks. Overall, the study involves careful monitoring of symptoms, safety, and treatment effects over approximately 32 weeks.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of Xeomin injections in preventing chronic migraine. This Phase 3 clinical trial compares Xeomin to placebo injections given into muscles of the head and neck. Participants have chronic migraine diagnosed for at least 12 months and meet specific headache and migraine day criteria. The study aims to measure changes in monthly migraine days over time with Xeomin treatment. Participants will receive four treatments spaced about 12 weeks apart over a total study duration of 52 to 55 weeks. The treatments involve injections of either Xeomin or placebo solution prepared with sodium chloride. Visits occur approximately every 4 weeks, totaling 14 visits: the first, last, and four treatment visits are on-site, while the other eight visits are remote via phone or video call. During the study, participants will keep headache diaries to track migraine and headache days. Researchers will focus on the change in monthly migraine days from baseline to six months after the first injection. Safety and effectiveness are monitored throughout, with frequent assessments during both on-site and remote visits to ensure accurate tracking of migraine symptoms and any side effects.

Researchers are evaluating the effect of Xeomin injections compared to placebo injections for preventing episodic migraine. This phase 3 clinical trial focuses on adults who experience episodic migraine, aiming to measure changes in the number of migraine days per month. Participants must have a diagnosis of episodic migraine for at least 12 months and meet specific headache frequency criteria. Participants will receive four treatments of either Xeomin or placebo injections into muscles of the head and neck, with treatments spaced about 12 weeks apart. The entire trial lasts approximately 52 to 55 weeks, beginning with a screening period of 4 to 5 weeks. There are about 14 visits in total, with the first, last, and four treatment visits conducted on-site, while the other visits are held remotely via phone or video. Throughout the study, participants will track their migraine days using a headache diary, and researchers will assess changes in monthly migraine frequency from baseline to six months after the first injection. Regular monitoring includes both in-person and remote assessments. The primary outcome focuses on the change in monthly migraine days between baseline and month six after treatment initiation.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of ATI-1013, a new human monoclonal antibody targeting nicotine, in healthy adult smokers aged 23 to 59 years. This first-in-human, phase 1 clinical trial aims to understand how long ATI-1013 stays in the body, whether it triggers an immune response, and its impact on nicotine levels. The study compares ATI-1013 to a placebo to assess safety and immune response. Participants will receive a single intravenous infusion of ATI-1013 at varying doses (0.2 g, 0.8 g, or 3.2 g) or a placebo. Following a screening visit, participants are admitted to the clinic two days before dosing (Day -2), receive the infusion on Day 1, and stay in the clinic for at least 48 hours after dosing. Follow-up visits occur on Days 7, 21, 42, 56, and 84, with additional telephone check-ins on Days 5, 14, 28, and 70. Participants will keep a diary of their cigarette use and smoking behaviors throughout the study. During the study, researchers will monitor all adverse events and check for the development of anti-drug antibodies from baseline through Day 84. Participants undergo safety assessments including laboratory tests and clinical evaluations. The study includes strict guidelines on tobacco, nicotine, and other substance use, along with contraception requirements for participants. The entire participation lasts about 12 weeks, allowing detailed safety and immune response monitoring over time.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of pelacarsen (TQJ230), given as a monthly injection under the skin, in people with mild to moderate calcific aortic valve stenosis. This study aims to see if pelacarsen can safely slow the progression of this heart valve condition compared to a placebo. The trial is a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted at multiple centers. Participants will receive either pelacarsen 80 mg or a matching placebo once a month. Before starting the treatment, they must have elevated lipoprotein(a) levels and be optimally treated for existing cardiovascular risk factors. The study focuses on those aged 50 to under 80 years with mild or moderate calcific aortic valve stenosis. During the 36 months of participation, researchers will monitor changes in peak aortic jet velocity and aortic valve calcium score to assess disease progression. Safety, tolerability, and the impact of the treatment will be evaluated. Participants will undergo regular assessments, including laboratory tests and clinical evaluations, to track heart valve condition and overall health throughout the study.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of EIK1001 combined with standard treatments in adults with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have not previously received vein-based treatment for their advanced disease. This phase 2, open-label, multicenter trial includes participants with confirmed stage 4 squamous or non-squamous NSCLC without mutations suitable for first-line targeted therapy. The study aims to find appropriate dosing and monitor adverse events alongside treatment response. Participants receive EIK1001, a Toll-like receptor 7/8 agonist, together with pembrolizumab, a PD-1 inhibitor, and chemotherapy drugs such as paclitaxel, pemetrexed, or carboplatin. These treatments are combined as part of the standard care for stage 4 NSCLC. The trial assesses safety and efficacy over the treatment period, including a dose-finding phase to determine the best dose of EIK1001. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including tumor measurements based on RECIST 1.1 criteria, organ function tests, and monitoring of performance status. Researchers track the percentage of participants experiencing safety events throughout up to two years of treatment. Follow-up includes ongoing evaluation of side effects and effectiveness to understand the treatment impact and participant well-being over the course of the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of ASTX727 combined with iadademstat versus ASTX727 alone in patients with accelerated or blast phase Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including subtypes like polycythemia vera and myelofibrosis. This phase II trial aims to compare the complete acute leukemia response rate within four 28-day treatment cycles and assess survival outcomes and transplant rates. The study also explores molecular changes and resistance pathways related to these treatments. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups: one receives ASTX727 alone, which is a combination of decitabine and cedazuridine taken orally once daily on days 1 through 5 of each cycle; the other group receives the same ASTX727 dosing plus iadademstat taken orally on days 1-5, 8-12, 15-19, and 22-26. Treatment cycles repeat every 28 days until disease progression or unacceptable side effects occur. The study includes a dose escalation phase before randomization. During the study, participants undergo buccal swab, blood sample collections, and bone marrow aspiration and biopsy to monitor disease and treatment effects. After stopping treatment for reasons other than disease progression, patients are followed up every three months; if stopping due to progression, follow-up occurs every six months. Researchers measure treatment response using established leukemia criteria and track safety and overall survival throughout the study.
