Researchers are conducting a long-term extension study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of ORX750 in adults aged 18 to 65 years who have narcolepsy type 1, narcolepsy type 2, or idiopathic hypersomnia. This study follows participants who completed a previous ORX750 clinical trial and focuses on providing ongoing information about the treatment over an extended period. Participants will receive oral ORX750 in an open-label format, grouped by their specific diagnosis narcolepsy type 1, narcolepsy type 2, or idiopathic hypersomnia. The study does not involve randomization or blinding, allowing all participants to know they are receiving the study drug. The treatment and monitoring periods include assessments up to about 70 days for safety and roughly 63 days for measures of drug concentration and wakefulness. During the study, participants will undergo frequent evaluations including monitoring for adverse events, laboratory tests, vital signs, ECGs, and assessments for suicidal thoughts or behaviors. They will also complete tests measuring wakefulness and sleepiness levels. This ongoing observation aims to ensure the treatments safety and to understand its effects over time, with participant involvement lasting through the entire study period.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety, tolerability, and lasting effects of ALKS 2680 tablets in adults with Narcolepsy Type 1, Narcolepsy Type 2, or Idiopathic Hypersomnia. This study is an open-label extension designed to continue monitoring participants who completed earlier ALKS 2680 parent studies, focusing on treatment durability and adverse events over an extended period. Participants receive ALKS 2680 oral tablets in doses ranging from 4 mg to 18 mg once daily. The study includes groups with Narcolepsy Type 1, Narcolepsy Type 2, and Idiopathic Hypersomnia. Treatment effects and safety are observed for up to 100 weeks, with dosing adjusted as needed. The study follows a non-randomized, open-label design without blinding. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including monitoring of treatment-emergent adverse events, measurement of sleep latency using the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test, and evaluation of daytime sleepiness via the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. The total participation duration extends up to approximately 100 weeks, with safety, tolerability, and treatment effects closely tracked throughout this period.

Researchers are evaluating dotinurad, an oral drug, to lower serum uric acid levels in adults with gout who cannot tolerate xanthine oxidase inhibitors XOI or whose uricase treatment has failed. This Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to assess the drugs effectiveness and safety in this specific population. The primary goal is to see how many participants achieve a serum uric acid level below 6.0 mgdL at 24 weeks. Participants will be divided into two groups. One group will take dotinurad for 36 weeks, split into a 24-week initial period followed by a 12-week continuation. The other group will take a placebo for the first 24 weeks and then switch to dotinurad for the final 12 weeks. Dotinurad is given as an oral tablet, while the placebo capsules contain inactive ingredients. This design allows comparison of the drug against placebo and later observation of dotinurads effects. During the study, participants will have their serum uric acid measured at various points, especially at weeks 16, 20, 24, and up to week 40. Researchers will monitor treatment-emergent adverse events throughout the study period. Participants will be followed from screening through treatment and safety assessments, with the primary focus on uric acid levels at week 24. The total study duration for each participant covers screening and up to 40 weeks of follow-up.

Researchers are conducting a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HBS-301 in adults aged 18 years and older with narcolepsy. The study focuses on treating excessive daytime sleepiness EDS, cataplexy, sleepinesswakefulness, and fatigue in participants diagnosed with narcolepsy. Approximately 258 participants will be included in this trial. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either HBS-301 tablets or matching placebo tablets once daily in the morning upon waking. The study includes a ScreeningBaseline period lasting up to 28 days, followed by an 8-week Double-blind Treatment period. After this, participants may choose to enter a 1-year Open-label Extension period where they will receive HBS-301. Finally, a 30-day safety follow-up will monitor participants after treatment ends. Throughout the study, participants will undergo various assessments including evaluations of daytime sleepiness using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, cataplexy frequency, wakefulness through the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test, fatigue levels, cognitive complaints, quality of life, and work productivity. Safety will be monitored by tracking adverse events and pharmacokinetic measurements. The total study participation may last up to approximately 16 months including all phases.

Researchers are studying whether cenerimod, when added to regular treatment, helps improve kidney function and is safe for adults with systemic lupus erythematosus SLE and active lupus nephritis. This Phase 3 trial compares cenerimod to a placebo to better understand its effects in this patient group. Participants will take cenerimod or a matching placebo once daily for about 76 weeks approximately 1.5 years, alongside their usual lupus nephritis therapy. The study uses a randomized, double-blind design, with two groups receiving either the active drug or placebo in addition to their background treatment. During the trial, participants will visit the clinic every 1 to 3 months for checkups and tests. Researchers will monitor kidney response and safety by measuring complete renal response at Week 76 and tracking other markers up to that time. The study will assess participants health and kidney function throughout the treatment period.

This trial evaluates the effectiveness of dotinurad compared with allopurinol in lowering serum uric acid levels in adults with gout-related hyperuricemia. The study focuses on reducing uric acid to below 6.0 mgdL after 24 weeks of treatment, addressing a common complication in gout patients. It is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind study involving adult participants aged 18 to 75 years with a history of gout. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three groups one group continues allopurinol at their existing dose once daily through week 64 the second group receives dotinurad starting at 1 mg once daily for the first 4 weeks, then 2 mg once daily through week 64 the third group begins with 1 mg daily for 4 weeks, increases to 2 mg daily for 8 weeks, then continues 4 mg daily through week 64. All treatments are administered orally as over-encapsulated tablets. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular monitoring of serum uric acid levels and gout flares from baseline up to week 68. Assessments include measuring the percentage of participants achieving target uric acid levels at various points, gout flare rates, and treatment-emergent adverse events. The study also evaluates safety and tolerability over the course of the treatment period, which lasts up to approximately 68 weeks including follow-up.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy of dotinurad compared with allopurinol in lowering serum uric acid sUA levels in adults with tophaceous gout. This Phase 3 trial focuses on adult participants aged 18 to 75 years who have measurable tophi and a diagnosis of gout for at least one year. The study aims to assess how well dotinurad reduces sUA levels at Week 24 compared to allopurinol, an established treatment for this condition. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. One group will stop their current allopurinol and continue with study-supplied allopurinol once daily through Week 76. The other group will discontinue allopurinol and start dotinurad at 1 mg daily for the first 4 weeks, then increase to 2 mg daily for the next 8 weeks, and finally 4 mg daily thereafter until Week 76. Both treatments are given as oral tablets, and participants are closely monitored throughout the study. During the study, participants will undergo various assessments including blood tests to measure serum uric acid levels at multiple time points, evaluation of tophi response, and tracking of gout flare frequency and severity. Safety monitoring will include recording any adverse events and serious side effects up to Week 80. The main outcome measures focus on the percentage of participants achieving target sUA levels at Week 24 and clinical responses in tophi at Week 76, with ongoing evaluations up to Week 80 to assess longer-term effects and safety.

Researchers are evaluating nipocalimab compared to a placebo in adults with moderate to severe systemic lupus erythematosus SLE, a chronic disease where the immune system attacks healthy tissues causing swelling and redness in various organs. This Phase 3 study aims to understand how well nipocalimab works in treating SLE symptoms and disease activity. Participants will receive either nipocalimab or a placebo alongside standard care treatments during a double-blind treatment period lasting up to 52 weeks. After this period, eligible participants from both groups may enter an open-label long-term extension phase to continue nipocalimab treatment until Week 156 or until discontinuation. Throughout the study, participants will undergo assessments including measurement of disease activity, joint pain, fatigue, and flare status. Researchers will monitor responses such as the SLE Responder Index at Week 52, and track safety and treatment adherence. The total participation duration may extend up to approximately three years including the extension phase.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, tolerability, and effects of ORX750 in adults with Narcolepsy Type 1 NT1, Narcolepsy Type 2 NT2, and Idiopathic Hypersomnia IH. These rare conditions cause excessive daytime sleepiness and affect daily activities such as school, work, and driving. The study aims to understand how ORX750, which mimics the brain protein orexin that helps maintain wakefulness, impacts sleepiness and other symptoms in these conditions. Participants will receive either ORX750 capsules or matching placebo capsules in a randomized, double-blind setup. The study assesses multiple groups those with NT1, NT2, and IH. The treatment and monitoring will occur over a period of up to 35 days, including evaluation of plasma drug levels and sleepiness measures. During the study, participants will undergo safety assessments including monitoring for adverse events, laboratory tests, vital signs, ECGs, and suicidal ideation screening up to day 35. Researchers will also measure sleepiness using the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. The total study duration for each participant is about five weeks, with careful observation of how the body processes ORX750 and its effects on daytime alertness.

Researchers are evaluating whether combining pasritamig with docetaxel can extend the time before prostate cancer worsens in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer mCRPC, a type of prostate cancer that continues to grow despite low hormone levels. This Phase 3 study compares pasritamig plus docetaxel against docetaxel alone to see if the combination improves radiographic progression-free survival rPFS, which is the time until disease progression or death as seen on scans. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either pasritamig together with docetaxel or docetaxel plus prednisoneprednisolone as background medication. Treatment continues until disease progression is confirmed by scans or other criteria are met. The study is open-label, meaning both participants and researchers know which treatment is given. During the trial, participants will have regular scans such as CT, MRI, or bone scans to monitor disease progression, assessed by independent review. Researchers will also evaluate overall survival, symptom progression, response rates, prostate-specific antigen PSA levels, quality of life measures, and safety by tracking adverse events and lab results. The study may last up to approximately 4 years and 5 months, with frequent assessments throughout.
