Researchers are evaluating oral icotrokinra as a treatment for adults and adolescents with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the large intestine causing ulcers in the colon lining. The study aims to assess how well icotrokinra works, along with its safety and tolerability in this population. This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with a parallel group design including both adults and adolescents. Adult participants will be randomly assigned to receive either icotrokinra or placebo daily by mouth during a 12-week induction phase. At Week 12, those showing clinical response will enter a maintenance phase where they will continue icotrokinra or placebo daily for 40 weeks. Adults who do not respond will also enter the maintenance phase and receive icotrokinra. Adolescents will receive open-label icotrokinra during induction and then continue on icotrokinra during maintenance regardless of response. After completing the 40-week maintenance phase, eligible participants may join a long-term extension study. Participants will be monitored regularly through clinical assessments at specified time points including Week 12 for induction and Week 40 for maintenance. Outcomes measured include rates of clinical remission, symptom improvement, endoscopic and histologic healing, and quality of life scores. Safety will be evaluated by tracking adverse and serious adverse events throughout the study. The total study duration may extend up to approximately 6 years, ending in 2032, allowing long-term evaluation of icotrokinra in ulcerative colitis management.

Researchers are evaluating icotrokinra for its effectiveness and safety in people with moderately to severely active Crohns disease, a condition causing severe inflammation in the intestines. This clinical trial is a Phase 2b3 study aiming to understand how well icotrokinra works compared to placebo to improve symptoms and intestinal healing. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of several treatments two different doses of icotrokinra or a matching placebo, taken orally every day during an induction period of up to 12 weeks. Based on their response at Week 12, participants may continue with maintenance dosing or placebo up to Week 40. Those completing the maintenance phase may join a long-term extension study for further evaluation. During the trial, participants will be monitored with clinical assessments, endoscopy, and patient-reported outcomes to measure response, remission, and safety. The main outcomes include clinical response and remission at Weeks 12 and 40, along with endoscopic healing. Safety will be tracked through adverse event reporting up to four weeks after the last dose. The study is expected to continue until 2032, with multiple visits for treatment and evaluations throughout.

Researchers are evaluating how well JNJ-78934804 works and how safe it is compared to guselkumab in participants with moderately to severely active Crohns disease, a long-term and progressive condition affecting the intestine. This Phase 3 trial aims to assess clinical remission and endoscopic remission at Week 48, focusing on treatment efficacy and safety. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either JNJ-78934804 or guselkumab. Both treatments involve induction doses at Weeks 0, 4, and 8, followed by maintenance doses every 4 weeks starting at Week 12. Participants meeting rescue criteria will receive additional induction doses of JNJ-78934804 at Weeks 16, 20, and 24, with maintenance doses continuing every 4 weeks from Week 28. Those completing the double-blind phase at Week 48 may enter a long-term extension phase if the investigator believes they may benefit. During the study, participants will be monitored for clinical and endoscopic remission, deep remission, corticosteroid-free remission, and patient-reported outcomes up to Week 48. Researchers will also track adverse events for up to approximately three years. Assessments include symptom scores, endoscopy reviews, and quality-of-life questionnaires to evaluate the treatments effects and safety throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of JNJ-78934804 compared to guselkumab in people with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis UC, a chronic condition where the colon lining becomes inflamed and develops ulcers. This Phase 3 study aims to measure clinical remission and other health improvements by Week 48. Participants receive an induction dose of either JNJ-78934804 or guselkumab at Weeks 0, 4, and 8, followed by maintenance doses every 4 weeks starting Week 12. Those meeting rescue criteria will receive additional induction doses of JNJ-78934804 at Weeks 16, 20, and 24, then maintenance doses every 4 weeks from Week 28. After completing the 48-week double-blind treatment phase, participants benefiting from the intervention may join a long-term extension phase. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for clinical remission, endoscopic improvement, corticosteroid-free remission, fatigue, abdominal pain, quality of life, and mental health responses. Safety is assessed by tracking adverse events up to about 3 years. The study involves randomized assignment and double-blinding, with all treatments given by subcutaneous injection. Participation may last up to several years including follow-up and extension phases.

Researchers are evaluating the use of Vedolizumab in adults with moderate to severely active Ulcerative Colitis UC or Crohns Disease CD, which are chronic gut conditions causing symptoms such as diarrhea, inflammation, bleeding, and abdominal pain. The study aims to measure how many participants achieve remission, meaning their symptoms disappear, after 14 weeks of treatment. This is a Phase 4 treatment study sponsored by Takeda, focusing on the effectiveness of Vedolizumab administered in a community setting. Participants with either UC or CD will receive Vedolizumab intravenously IV during the first 6 weeks, with doses given at Weeks 0 and 2, and possibly an additional IV dose at Week 6. After this initial period, participants may switch to subcutaneous under the skin injections of Vedolizumab every two weeks from Week 6 until Week 50. If the treatment does not appear effective by Week 14, participants may stop Vedolizumab and switch to another therapy. Additional required visits occur at 26 weeks and 52 weeks, with a final check 18 weeks after the last Vedolizumab dose. Throughout the study, participants will visit the clinic multiple times for treatment and monitoring. Assessments include patient-reported symptom measures at Weeks 6, 14, and 52, clinical response evaluations, and endoscopic examinations to observe mucosal healing. Blood and stool tests will measure inflammation markers like C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin. Safety monitoring will track serious infections up to 72 weeks. Overall, participants are involved for about one year of treatment plus follow-up to evaluate the long-term effects of Vedolizumab.

Researchers are evaluating Afimkibart RO7790121 for people with moderately to severely active Crohns disease. This Phase III clinical trial aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of both induction and maintenance therapy using this drug compared to a placebo. The study is designed as a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial across multiple centers. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups receiving either Afimkibart via intravenous infusion followed by subcutaneous injection or matching placebo treatments. The study involves continuous treatment through induction and maintenance phases to compare outcomes at weeks 12 and 52. The trial includes a placebo group to provide a comparison for evaluating Afimkibarts effects. During the study, participants will have regular visits for assessments including clinical remission rates, endoscopic response, symptomatic remission, stool frequency, abdominal pain, and quality of life questionnaires. Researchers will monitor various outcomes over 52 weeks and track adverse events for up to 70 weeks after baseline. This long-term follow-up helps evaluate both the treatments impact and safety throughout the trial period.

Researchers are evaluating how well radiation therapy with or without the chemotherapy drug cisplatin works in treating patients who have stage III-IVA squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck after surgery. This phase II trial aims to understand if adding cisplatin to radiation therapy improves disease-free survival and to explore the role of p53 mutations as a biomarker for treatment benefit. The study also assesses the safety and side effects of these treatments and looks for other genetic changes that might guide new therapies. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives intensity-modulated radiation therapy IMRT once daily, five days a week for six weeks. The other group receives the same radiation schedule plus weekly intravenous cisplatin for six weeks. After treatment, participants are followed up every six months for three years and then yearly for seven years to monitor outcomes. During the study, patients will have assessments including surgical tumor tissue analysis for p53 mutation, imaging scans to check for cancer spread, and blood tests to monitor health and organ function. Researchers will track disease recurrence, new tumors, or death for up to 10 years. Side effects will be recorded during treatment. The total study participation includes treatment over six weeks followed by long-term follow-up visits lasting up to 10 years.

Researchers are conducting a global, prospective, multi-center observational study to gather real-world data on the long-term effectiveness, economic value, and technical performance of Boston Scientifics commercially approved neurostimulation systems for pain management. The study focuses on patients using these neurostimulation devices according to their approved instructions for use in routine clinical practice. Participants will first undergo a neurostimulation trial period using any commercially approved Boston Scientific neurostimulator for pain. Those who experience a positive outcome from this trial may then receive a permanent implant of the neurostimulation system. Treatment customization will be guided by the investigators judgment and routine care practices at each site. During the study, participants will be observed to collect information on clinical outcomes, technical device performance, and economic factors related to neurostimulation therapy. The research team will monitor participants over the long term to assess how well the therapy manages pain and its associated benefits. The study is expected to continue until May 2035, with ongoing follow-up and data collection throughout this period.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of several targeted drugsvismodegib, FAK inhibitor GSK2256098, capivasertib, and abemaciclibon patients with progressive meningiomas. These tumors are growing, spreading, or worsening, and the study focuses on different genetic mutations in the tumors to match patients with the appropriate drug. The trial is a phase II study aiming to measure progression-free survival and response rates over six months, along with overall survival and adverse events. Participants are assigned to one of four groups based on their tumor mutation status. Those with SMOPTCH1 mutations receive vismodegib daily those with NF2 mutations receive FAK inhibitor GSK2256098 twice daily patients with AKT1, PIK3CA, or PTEN mutations take capivasertib twice daily on days 1-4 weekly and those with CDK pathway alterations receive abemaciclib twice daily. Treatment cycles repeat every 28 days as long as the disease does not progress or unacceptable side effects occur. After treatment, participants are followed every six months for up to five years. During the study, patients undergo regular monitoring including imaging to assess tumor size and progression, lab tests to monitor blood counts and organ function, and evaluations of side effects. Researchers track progression-free survival at six months and tumor response rates, as well as overall survival. Safety is closely observed up to four weeks after treatment ends. The total study duration includes active treatment cycles and long-term follow-up extending up to five years from registration.
