Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of a medicine called Ritlecitinib for adults with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa HS, a condition that causes long-lasting painful red lumps on the skin. The study focuses on participants who have not responded well to or cannot tolerate antibiotics for HS. This Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to understand how Ritlecitinib compares to placebo in treating this condition. Participants will be randomly assigned to take either Ritlecitinib or a matching placebo by mouth once daily at home. The study includes a loading dose of Ritlecitinib for the first 8 weeks, followed by a maintenance dose for the next 8 weeks, totaling 16 weeks of treatment. The placebo group will follow the same schedule with a pill that looks like the study medicine but contains no active drug. Throughout the study, participants will have about 10 clinic visits over approximately 24 weeks, including screening, Day 1, and follow-ups every 1, 2, or 4 weeks until Week 16. At these visits, health status will be reviewed through physical exams, blood and urine tests, vital signs, chest X-rays, ECGs, hearing tests, and questionnaires. Participants will also record daily medication intake and HS symptoms using a mobile eDiary. Researchers will measure skin response and safety outcomes to assess the effects of the study medicine compared to placebo.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and side effects of LY4005130, a drug given through a vein, in adults with non-segmental vitiligo NSV. This study compares LY4005130 to a placebo to better understand how well the drug is tolerated. The trial is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind study lasting about 48 weeks, including screening, to provide detailed information on treatment effects. Participants receive either LY4005130 or a placebo intravenously during the 24-week treatment period. Blood tests will be used to see how the drug moves through and affects the body. The study measures changes in vitiligo skin area using scoring indexes and also examines gene expression from skin biopsies. The comparison between the drug and placebo aims to provide clear insights into treatment effects. Throughout the study, participants will have assessments including blood tests and skin biopsies at the start and after treatment. Researchers will track side effects and changes in vitiligo by measuring the affected skin area. The study includes regular evaluations of drug levels in the blood and gene activity related to vitiligo. Participation involves about 48 weeks total, covering screening, treatment, and follow-up to monitor safety and response.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of LY4005130 in adults with severe alopecia areata, a condition causing significant hair loss. This phase 2 study compares LY4005130 with a placebo to see how well the drug works and how well participants tolerate it. Blood tests will be used to understand how the body processes the drug and its effects. Participants will receive either LY4005130 or a placebo, both administered intravenously into a vein. The study follows a randomized, double-blind design, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives the drug or placebo. The study lasts about 48 weeks, including screening. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including blood tests and scalp biopsies to track changes in hair loss severity and gene expression. The main measurement is the percentage of participants reaching a certain improvement in hair loss by week 24. Safety and side effects will be closely monitored throughout the study period.

Researchers are studying the effectiveness of NAV-240 compared to a placebo in adults with moderate-to-severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa HS. The main goal is to see how many participants achieve at least a 75% reduction in inflamed skin bumps by Week 16 without an increase in abscesses or draining tunnels. This phase 2a study involves participants who have stable HS and have not responded well to antibiotics. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of two doses of NAV-240 or a placebo through intravenous infusions. They will receive the assigned treatment during the study period and attend up to 9 clinic visits over 22 weeks for checkups and tests. Participants will also complete a daily diary to record their skin pain. The study includes monitoring skin lesions and other skin-related outcomes over 16 weeks. During the study, participants will have regular assessments, including lesion counts and skin pain evaluations. Researchers will measure outcomes such as the clinical response of HS, skin pain improvement, quality of life changes, and flare occurrences. Safety and treatment effects will be monitored through clinic visits and participant diaries. The total study duration is about 22 weeks, with the main results assessed at Week 16.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of Corabotase IPN10200 in adults with moderate to severe glabellar lines, which are wrinkle-like lines between the eyebrows that may affect appearance and confidence. This Phase III study compares a single dose of Corabotase to a placebo in a double-blind phase, followed by an open-label phase to assess repeat doses over time. Participants will receive injections of Corabotase or placebo into selected facial muscles. The study includes a screening period of up to 20 days, a treatment period with up to four treatment cycles where participants may receive Corabotase or placebo in the double-blind phase and Corabotase in the open-label phase, and a follow-up period lasting 24 weeks after the last injection. Multiple visits occur during the first month of treatment, followed by monthly visits. During the study, participants will have health assessments including blood tests, physical exams, ECGs, questionnaires, and diaries. Researchers will measure treatment response at week 4 and monitor safety and satisfaction through week 104. Total participation lasts up to 107 weeks, and participants may withdraw at any time.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of adding the drug tirzepatide to the existing treatment with ixekizumab in adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who are also overweight or obese and have at least one related health condition. This Phase 4 study aims to understand how well this combination works in routine clinical practice over a period of up to 12 months. During the study, participants will continue their treatment with ixekizumab and will start taking tirzepatide by subcutaneous injection according to the medication label. The study is open-label and involves a single group of participants receiving this combined treatment regimen. The main focus is to assess improvements in quality of life and weight reduction over the 12-month period. Participants will be monitored regularly to measure their skin condition using tools like the Dermatology Life Quality Index and body surface area affected by psoriasis. Weight changes and other health assessments will be tracked at 6 and 12 months. Safety and treatment adherence will also be observed throughout the study duration to gather comprehensive data on the effects of adding tirzepatide to ixekizumab therapy.

This trial focuses on both women and men diagnosed with Stage I HER2-positive invasive breast cancer. It aims to compare two different combinations of HER2-targeted therapies given after surgery, studying how well each treatment controls the cancer and their side effects. The study is a randomized phase II trial supported by Genentech and led by the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, evaluating long-term benefits and disease-free survival over several years. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives six cycles of intravenous trastuzumab-emtansine T-DM1 every three weeks, followed by eleven cycles of subcutaneous trastuzumab every three weeks. The other group receives weekly intravenous paclitaxel for twelve weeks along with subcutaneous trastuzumab every three weeks, continuing trastuzumab alone for additional cycles. The entire treatment period lasts about one year. During the study, participants undergo screening and regular laboratory evaluations along with follow-up visits. Researchers monitor side effects, quality of life, symptoms related to therapy, and cardiac function. The main outcomes measured include the incidence of toxicities during the first 18 weeks and disease-free survival over up to 72 months. Participants are followed for five years after treatment to assess long-term outcomes and safety.

Researchers are conducting a combined Phase 2b and Phase 3 clinical trial to study CSL300 Clazakizumab in adults with end stage kidney disease ESKD who are undergoing maintenance dialysis. The study aims to find the right dose of CSL300 and then evaluate its effect on cardiovascular outcomes and safety in people with systemic inflammation and either atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ASCVD or diabetes. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving multiple centers. Participants will receive intravenous IV administration of either CSL300 or a placebo. The Phase 2b part focuses on determining the appropriate dose of CSL300 compared to placebo over about 12 weeks, while the Phase 3 part examines CSL300s effect on cardiovascular events over approximately five years. The study includes different dosing groups in Phase 2b and a larger comparison of CSL300 versus placebo in Phase 3. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly with blood tests that measure inflammation markers such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein hs-CRP, cardiovascular events, and safety outcomes. Researchers will track changes in various blood components and adverse events up to 32 weeks in Phase 2b and follow cardiovascular outcomes for up to five years in Phase 3. The total participation lasts through these periods with scheduled assessments to evaluate treatment effects and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the effects of a medicine called BI 690517 combined with empagliflozin in adults with chronic kidney disease CKD who are at risk of their kidney condition getting worse. The study includes people with or without type 2 diabetes and those who may already be taking medicines like angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors ACEi, angiotensin receptor blockers ARB, or sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors SGLT2i. The goal is to understand if adding BI 690517 can help delay worsening kidney function, hospitalizations due to heart failure, or cardiovascular death. After a run-in period where all participants take empagliflozin and other standard medications, participants are randomly assigned to receive either BI 690517 tablets or placebo tablets once daily alongside empagliflozin. The run-in period confirms that participants are stabilized on empagliflozin before randomization. The treatment phase continues for about three to four years until enough kidney or heart-related events have occurred to compare outcomes between the two groups. During the study, participants visit the study site about five times in the first six months and then every six months thereafter. At these visits, health is regularly checked through blood and urine tests, blood pressure and weight measurements, kidney function monitoring, and collection of any side effect information. The main outcome measured is the time until the first occurrence of kidney disease progression, hospitalization for heart failure, or cardiovascular death.

Researchers are studying atopic dermatitis AD, a skin condition marked by worsening periods called flares. This observational study aims to evaluate an investigational device called Nevisense Go, which measures electrical properties of the skin related to its barrier function, to see if it can detect early changes that may predict AD flares before visible signs or symptoms appear. Participants aged 12 to 89 years with a history of AD flares are included. Participants will use the Nevisense Go device at home for about 90 days to take skin measurements five days a week. Along with these device measurements, they will complete electronic symptom diaries and attend up to five in-person study visits. The study collects data from both affected and unaffected skin areas, but device measurements will not affect clinical care or treatment decisions during the trial. During the study, researchers will assess the relationship between skin measurements and subsequent AD flares, develop and validate an algorithm to predict flare onset, and evaluate adherence and feasibility of device use. Participants will also complete patient- and clinician-reported measures of AD severity, itch, flare frequency, and flare resolution. The total participation lasts about 90 days, with ongoing data collection and evaluations to better understand flare prediction.
