Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a condition in which the immune system mistakenly destroys platelets, the cells that help stop bleeding. This leads to a low platelet count, making it easier to bruise or bleed. The trial investigates the long-term safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of mezagitamab in adults with chronic primary ITP who have previously participated in certain mezagitamab studies. It also examines how the body processes mezagitamab over time. Participants who completed the previous mezagitamab studies TAK-079-3002 or TAK-079-1004 and meet specific criteria will receive mezagitamab as a subcutaneous injection during this continuation study. The study is open-label and multicenter, focusing on continued treatment based on protocol requirements. The medication is given under medical supervision, and participants return to the study clinic several times throughout the study. During their participation, individuals will undergo regular assessments including monitoring for treatment-emergent adverse events and serious adverse events up to approximately 108 weeks. Researchers will track safety by noting any adverse events that lead to permanent withdrawal from mezagitamab. The study includes physical evaluations, laboratory tests, and ongoing safety monitoring to understand how well participants tolerate the treatment and how effective it is over the long term.

Researchers are evaluating the effect of baxdrostat combined with dapagliflozin compared to baxdrostat with placebo on reducing albuminuria in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and high blood pressure. This Phase IIb, randomized, multicenter, double-blind study includes adults aged 18 years and older, with or without type 2 diabetes and regardless of current SGLT2 inhibitor treatment. The study aims to assess both the impact on albuminuria and the safety of these treatments. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat with dapagliflozin or baxdrostat with a matching placebo. The study includes an optional pre-screening period to assess kidney function and other health markers, and those on SGLT2 inhibitors will undergo a washout before starting treatment. Randomization will consider diabetes status to ensure balanced groups. During the study, participants will be monitored up to 12 weeks to measure changes in albuminuria, specifically urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR). Safety and other health parameters will also be assessed through blood tests and blood pressure measurements. The study ends when the last participant completes their final visit and procedures, ensuring thorough data collection on treatment effects and safety.

Researchers are investigating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of combining baxdrostat with dapagliflozin compared to dapagliflozin alone in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and high blood pressure. This Phase III, international, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to see if this combination reduces risks such as significant kidney function decline, kidney failure, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death. The study includes a 4-week run-in period where participants not previously treated with SGLT2 inhibitors receive dapagliflozin alone. After this, participants are randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat plus dapagliflozin or placebo plus dapagliflozin in a double-blinded manner. Study visits occur frequently initially (at 2, 4, 8, 16, 34, and 52 weeks after randomization) and then approximately every 4 months. If participants stop the blinded treatment early, they continue dapagliflozin alone unless specific criteria require its discontinuation. Participants will undergo regular assessments including blood pressure monitoring and laboratory tests related to kidney function and cardiovascular health. The primary outcome measures the reduction in risk of major kidney and heart events over up to 37 months. Even if participants stop the study treatment, they will continue follow-up visits and data collection to ensure comprehensive safety and efficacy evaluation throughout the study duration.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety and effectiveness of etavopivat, a new oral medicine being developed to treat inherited blood disorders such as sickle cell disease and thalassemia. These disorders affect hemoglobin, the protein responsible for carrying oxygen in the body. This phase 3 study aims to monitor how well etavopivat works and its safety profile over an extended period. Participants will receive one of three forms of etavopivat (A, B, or C) as oral doses. The study is open-label and multicenter, involving adults, adolescents, and children who have previously completed treatment in an etavopivat parent study and continue to benefit clinically. The treatment period can last up to 264 weeks but may end earlier if etavopivat is approved in the participant's country. During the study, researchers will track the number of treatment-emergent adverse events and adverse reactions for each participant by indication and age group from baseline through the end of the study, which can last up to 316 weeks. Participants' safety and response to long-term treatment will be closely monitored throughout this period.

Researchers are evaluating insulin icodec, a once-weekly insulin injection, compared to insulin glargine, a once-daily injection, in adults with type 1 diabetes. The study aims to see how well weekly insulin icodec controls blood sugar levels compared to daily insulin glargine when both are combined with insulin aspart. This phase 3 study will last about 26 weeks, or roughly 8.5 months. Participants will receive either insulin icodec or insulin glargine, both given as subcutaneous injections. All participants will also use insulin aspart as a subcutaneous injection. The study compares these two insulin regimens to assess their effects on blood sugar control over the 26-week period. During the study, researchers will monitor changes in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from the start of the study to week 26. Participants will follow the study protocol including self-measured plasma glucose profiles. Safety and efficacy will be evaluated throughout the treatment period to understand the impact of the insulin regimens on blood sugar control and participant health.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of pirtobrutinib in adults with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). The study focuses on two parts: Part 1 tests three different doses of pirtobrutinib in participants who have had 1 to 3 prior treatments, including a covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor. Part 2 evaluates pirtobrutinib alone in participants who have not received prior treatment but have a specific genetic deletion called 17p. This is a phase 2, open-label, randomized study. Pirtobrutinib is given orally to participants in both study parts. Participants in Part 1 receive one of three dose levels, while those in Part 2 receive pirtobrutinib monotherapy. Part 1 participation lasts about 3 years, and Part 2 participation can last up to 2 years. The study compares the effects of different doses and treatment histories to better understand pirtobrutinib’s impact on CLL/SLL. Throughout the study, researchers monitor participants' overall response to treatment from the start up to 3 years. They assess safety and side effects, and participants are required to be able to swallow oral medication and have a performance status that allows them to participate. The study includes regular evaluations to determine how well the treatment controls the disease and to track any adverse events over the course of the study periods.

Researchers are evaluating the effect of a triple therapy inhaler called BGF MDI containing budesonide, glycopyrronium, and formoterol fumarate compared with a dual therapy inhaler called GFF MDI containing glycopyrronium and formoterol fumarate in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) who have a higher risk of heart and lung problems. This Phase III randomized, double-blind, parallel group study takes place at multiple centers and focuses on cardiopulmonary outcomes in these patients. Participants receive either the BGF MDI 320/14.4/9.6 micrograms twice daily or the GFF MDI 14.4/9.6 micrograms twice daily. The treatments are inhaled using metered dose inhalers. The study compares these two therapies over time to see how they affect the time until the first severe heart or lung event occurs. The study design ensures that neither participants nor researchers know which treatment is given to reduce bias. During the study, participants will have regular visits to the study site or virtual visits to complete assessments. Researchers will monitor lung function, symptoms, and blood tests, including blood eosinophil counts and COPD assessment test scores. The main outcome measured is the time to the first severe cardiac or COPD event, with follow-up lasting up to three years. Safety and adherence to treatment will also be closely observed throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of combining the drugs glofitamab, gemcitabine, and oxaliplatin in adults in the United States who have relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The study especially includes under-represented racial and ethnic groups. This phase 1 study aims to better understand how these treatments work together and their impact on this type of lymphoma. Participants will receive intravenous glofitamab for up to 12 cycles, with each cycle lasting 21 days. They will also receive intravenous gemcitabine and oxaliplatin for up to 8 cycles, each cycle also lasting 21 days. Before starting these treatments, participants will get intravenous obinutuzumab. If needed, intravenous tocilizumab will be given to manage cytokine release syndrome, a potential side effect. During the study, participants will be closely monitored for any adverse events and their response to treatment will be assessed for up to 3 years. Researchers will collect data on side effects and measure the complete response rate to treatment. Patients will undergo regular evaluations, including scans and laboratory tests, to track the progress of their lymphoma and any treatment effects over time.

This research focuses on men with prostate cancer who have previously participated in an enzalutamide clinical study sponsored by Astellas or Medivation. It aims to gather long-term safety information from participants who continue to benefit from enzalutamide treatment. This is a Phase 2 open-label extension study designed to monitor ongoing treatment effects after the initial study has completed its primary analysis or evaluation period. Participants will continue their previous treatment regimens, which may include enzalutamide taken orally once daily. Some may also receive abiraterone acetate with prednisone or leuprolide acetate depending on their prior study enrollment. Dose adjustments are allowed with medical monitor approval. The first visit of this study should occur within seven days of the last visit of the prior study unless treatment is temporarily paused. Participants are asked to return to their study site every 24 weeks for safety reviews, including adverse event monitoring and medication checks. At visits every 12 weeks, participants return unused study drugs and receive new supplies if needed. Safety data, including all adverse events and serious adverse events, are collected from consent until study completion, which may last up to 96 months. The study follows local standard care guidelines and includes a post-marketing phase in South Korea.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of Kedrion Intravenous Human Normal Immunoglobulin 10% (IVIg 10%) in adult patients with chronic primary Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP), a condition characterized by low platelet counts lasting over 12 months. This Phase III, open-label, single-arm, multicenter study focuses on adults aged 18 to 70 years with chronic ITP and low platelet levels, aiming to assess the treatment's response rate by day 14. The study involves administering Kedrion IVIG 10% intravenously to eligible patients. Participants will receive the treatment following screening and baseline assessments, with careful monitoring of platelet counts and health status. The protocol includes specific criteria for inclusion and exclusion to ensure patient safety and appropriate evaluation of the therapy. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including platelet counts, safety evaluations, and monitoring for any adverse effects. Researchers will measure the rate of patients who respond to treatment by day 14. The study also requires adherence to protocol guidelines, pregnancy testing for women of childbearing potential, and use of birth control during the trial. The total participation period covers screening, treatment, and follow-up visits as outlined in the study protocol.
