Researchers are evaluating the safety and efficacy of the study drug LY4065967 for treating diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain DPNP. This trial is part of a larger chronic pain master protocol designed to accelerate the development of new treatments for chronic pain conditions. The study focuses on adults with DPNP related to type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either LY4065967 or a placebo, both taken orally. The study is double-blinded, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives the active drug or placebo. The treatment period lasts eight weeks, during which participants take the assigned study drug daily. Throughout the trial, participants will report their pain intensity and other symptoms at the start and after eight weeks using various scales, including the Numeric Rating Scale and Brief Pain Inventory. Researchers will also monitor sleep quality, emotional functioning, and the use of rescue medication. Safety and tolerability will be assessed, and the study concludes in July 2027.

Researchers are evaluating the effect of Xeomin injections compared to placebo injections for preventing chronic migraine. This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial includes an extension period and aims to measure changes in the number of monthly migraine days. Participants have chronic migraine and meet specific criteria related to headache frequency and migraine history. Participants receive Xeomin or placebo injections into muscles of the head and neck at pericranial and cervical points. The study includes two Xeomin dose groups and a placebo group during the controlled period, with all groups receiving Xeomin in the extension phase. Four treatments are given approximately 12 weeks apart over a total study duration of 52 to 55 weeks. Participants take part in 14 visits over the study period, with the first, last, and four treatment visits conducted in person and the remaining eight visits by phone or video call. Researchers collect headache and migraine data from diaries and assess changes in monthly migraine days as the primary outcome. Safety is monitored by tracking treatment-related adverse events throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the use of Xeomin injections to prevent episodic migraine. This Phase 3 clinical trial compares Xeomin to placebo injections in the muscles of the head and neck to measure changes in the number of monthly migraine days. Participants have episodic migraine with or without aura, and the study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of different Xeomin doses over time. Participants receive a series of four Xeomin or placebo injections spaced about 12 weeks apart. The study includes two experimental groups receiving different Xeomin doses and a placebo group, followed by an extension period where some participants receive Xeomin. Injections are given at specific points around the head and neck. The trial lasts approximately 52 to 55 weeks, starting with a 4 to 5 week screening period. Participants attend about 14 visits, including the first and last visits and four treatment visits conducted on-site, with other visits done remotely by phone or video call. Researchers monitor changes in monthly migraine days, headache days, and medication use, as well as any treatment-related side effects throughout the study.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety and tolerability of intermittent use of elismetrep in adults who experience acute migraine attacks. This Phase 3 study aims to monitor adverse events and overall safety during an average of one year of treatment. The study is conducted by Kallyope Inc. and compares two doses of elismetrep with a placebo using a randomized, triple-blind design. Participants will receive oral doses of elismetrep at either 10 mg or 20 mg, or a matching placebo. The study focuses on intermittent use during acute migraine episodes. Participants must have completed a prior acute treatment trial of elismetrep and meet compliance criteria. Treatment and assessments continue through the study duration, averaging one year. During the trial, participants will be monitored for any treatment-emergent adverse events, serious adverse events, and events leading to discontinuation. They will use a personal smartphone to complete eDiary check-ins and questionnaires, including assessments at 2 and 4 hours post-dose during migraine attacks. Safety and tolerability data will be collected throughout, with study participation lasting approximately one year.

Researchers are conducting a master protocol study to evaluate multiple pain treatments for people experiencing chronic pain conditions such as osteoarthritis of the knee, diabetic neuropathic pain, and chronic low back pain. This study aims to compare different pain interventions by using a flexible design where specific intervention appendices ISAs can begin independently as new treatments become available. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and is designed as a phase 2 randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Participants may receive one of several study drugs administered either intravenously or orally, including LY3016859 given through IV and LY3556050, LY3526318, and LY3857210 given orally. Each treatment group is compared to a matching placebo group. The study uses a parallel design where participants are assigned randomly to one of the intervention groups or placebo. The protocol includes disease-state addenda to define target populations and assessment scales for each pain condition. During the trial, participants undergo screening to confirm eligibility based on pain levels, history, and health status. They are monitored for outcomes such as the number of participants allocated to each intervention up to week 8. Researchers assess pain and other health measures while participants maintain consistent use of any ongoing non-drug pain therapies and discontinue other chronic pain medications except for rescue use. The study includes safety monitoring and will continue through April 2027, with results posted for each intervention.

This research focuses on adults with obesity or overweight and aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of various investigational treatments for chronic weight management. It is a Phase 2 master protocol study that uses a framework to test multiple interventions, each detailed in separate appendices. The study establishes criteria for enrolling new participants and reports results when all intervention appendices have completed. Participants may receive different investigational drugs administered either by subcutaneous injection or orally, including LY3305677, LY3841136, tirzepatide, LY3549492, and others. Each intervention-specific appendix outlines the particular treatment details and analyses. Some participants receive placebos matching the administration method of the active treatments. Treatments and analyses are conducted in parallel groups, and interventions may start independently as they become available. Throughout the study, participants undergo screening to confirm eligibility and are randomly assigned to one of the intervention groups or placebo. Researchers monitor participant allocation up to week 6. The trial emphasizes double-blind procedures, and participant involvement includes receiving study treatments and attending scheduled visits. Safety and efficacy data are collected, and the study is planned to continue until early 2028, with primary outcome measures focusing on participant allocation to interventions.

This trial investigates MZE829 capsules in adults with proteinuric chronic kidney disease who also carry the APOL1 high risk genotype, specifically G1G1, G2G2, or G1G2 variants. The study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and impact on albuminuria, a marker of kidney damage, in this population. It is an open-label Phase 2 trial, meaning all participants receive the study drug and results will help determine its effects and safety profile. Participants receive MZE829 capsules orally in a single-group design. The study includes two cohorts one with chronic kidney disease alongside diabetes, and another with chronic kidney disease without diabetes. The treatment and monitoring occur over a 12-week period, during which the study team assesses drug safety and effects on albuminuria levels. During the trial, participants will be monitored for adverse events and tolerability from baseline through week 12. Researchers will also measure changes in urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio UACR to evaluate kidney function. Blood samples will be taken to assess plasma drug concentrations. The total participation time is approximately 12 weeks, focusing on safety and biological effects of MZE829.

This research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of increasing doses of NNC0662-0419 for adults living with obesity. The study is a phase 2 randomized trial comparing different dosing approaches of NNC0662-0419 and semaglutide, both administered by subcutaneous injection. Participants include adults with obesity who are committed to losing at least 25% of their body weight. Participants are randomly assigned to one of four groups receiving either NNC0662-0419 or semaglutide, or their matching placebos. All treatments are given by subcutaneous injection in a dose-escalation manner, meaning doses increase over time. This allows researchers to compare the safety and response to these drugs and their placebos. Throughout the study, participants are monitored for gastrointestinal side effects from week 0 to week 39. Body weight and body mass index BMI changes are also measured from week 0 to week 32. Participants will attend regular visits for dosing, safety assessments, and evaluations of weight and related health measures. The trial is expected to last until July 2027.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of pembrolizumab combined with sacituzumab govitecan-hziy compared to standard chemotherapy treatments in patients with advanced urothelial cancer that has spread locally or to other parts of the body. This phase III trial focuses on patients whose cancer has not responded to prior anti-PDL1 therapy. The study aims to compare overall survival, progression-free survival, response rates, duration of response, treatment side effects, and quality of life between the new combination therapy and usual chemotherapy care. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. One group receives standard chemotherapy options such as carboplatin or cisplatin with gemcitabine, or alternatively docetaxel or paclitaxel, given intravenously in 21-day cycles for up to six cycles or until disease progression or unacceptable side effects. The other group receives pembrolizumab intravenously on day 1 and sacituzumab govitecan-hziy intravenously on days 1 and 8 every 21 days for up to 35 cycles or two years, unless disease progresses or side effects become unacceptable. Both groups undergo blood tests and imaging scans like CT or MRI throughout the study. During the trial, participants will have regular assessments including blood sample collection and imaging to monitor their cancer status and treatment effects. Researchers will also evaluate patient-reported quality of life and fatigue at multiple time points up to 12 months. After completing treatment, participants are followed up 30 days later and then annually for five years to track survival and health outcomes. This comprehensive approach helps researchers understand both the clinical outcomes and the impact on patients well-being over time.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term effects of aleniglipron, a drug taken orally, in adults with overweight or obesity who also have type 2 diabetes mellitus T2DM. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study designed to assess the drugs effectiveness, safety, and tolerability over an extended period. The study focuses on the management of weight and diabetes in this population. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either aleniglipron or a placebo, all administered orally. The treatment period lasts for 76 weeks, during which participants will take multiple doses of the assigned medication. The study includes three different aleniglipron arms and one placebo arm, all aiming to evaluate weight change and diabetes control over time. Throughout the study, participants will undergo assessments to measure changes in body weight, waist circumference, HbA1c levels, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. The primary outcome is the percent change in body weight from the start of the study to week 76. Secondary outcomes include the proportion of participants achieving various levels of weight loss and diabetes targets. The study also monitors safety and tolerability during the treatment period, which lasts approximately 76 weeks.
