Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety and tolerability of dazodalibep in people with Sjgrens Syndrome. This phase 3 open-label study extends previous trials by continuing to monitor participants who completed 48 weeks of treatment with dazodalibep or placebo. The study is sponsored by Amgen and aims to better understand the safety profile of dazodalibep over an extended period. Participants who finished the initial 48-week trials HZNP-DAZ-301 or HZNP-DAZ-303 will receive an assigned dose of dazodalibep intravenously for an additional 132 weeks. This extension study involves a single treatment group receiving dazodalibep without placebo, focusing on ongoing treatment effects and participant safety. During the study, participants will be monitored for treatment-emergent adverse events for up to 152 weeks. Researchers will also measure the presence of anti-drug antibodies and plasma concentrations of dazodalibep for up to 132 weeks. Participants need to be available for all study visits and procedures, with safety assessments conducted regularly throughout the long-term extension period.

Researchers are evaluating AZD0780, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor, in a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study. This trial focuses on patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ASCVD or those at high risk for a first ASCVD event. The study aims to assess how AZD0780 compares to placebo in reducing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, also known as MACE-PLUS, over the course of the trial. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either oral AZD0780 once daily or a matching placebo once daily. The study continues until a primary analysis censoring date, which may be up to approximately 54 months from randomization. After this, a study closure visit will be conducted as the final visit for each participant. During the study, participants will be regularly monitored for cardiovascular events including heart attacks, strokes, urgent coronary revascularizations, and other related outcomes. Researchers will track the time to first occurrence of these events as the primary outcome. Safety and other secondary outcomes like all-cause mortality will also be assessed. The total participation time can last up to about 54 months, with ongoing evaluations throughout this period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of a new medicine called NNC0487-0111 in people who have Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction HFpEF or Heart Failure with mildly reduced Ejection Fraction HFmrEF and excess body weight. This phase 3 clinical trial aims to find out if NNC0487-0111 is safe and effective for treating these conditions compared to a placebo. Participants have HFpEF or HFmrEF and a body mass index of 30 or above. The study is sponsored by Novo Nordisk AS and uses a randomized, quadruple-masked design. Participants will receive either NNC0487-0111 or a matching placebo by injection under the skin once a week. The NNC0487-0111 is given in increasing doses over time. The study is parallel in design, meaning participants are randomly assigned to one of the two groups and receive that treatment throughout the trial. This treatment period extends for up to about 165 weeks. The study evaluates the time to certain heart failure events, hospitalizations, cardiovascular deaths, and other major cardiovascular events. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly to assess heart failure outcomes and kidney function, as well as quality of life using questionnaires like the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire. Safety and effectiveness are assessed through hospital visits, heart failure event tracking, and blood tests including kidney function and blood sugar levels. The total participation spans over three years, with ongoing evaluations to measure the time to heart failure events and cardiovascular outcomes. Participants receive close medical monitoring throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating the addition of Saruparib AZD5305 to standard radiation therapy RT and androgen deprivation therapy ADT for men with high-risk or very high-risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer who have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. The study aims to determine if Saruparib improves metastases-free survival compared to placebo when added to these treatments. This phase 3 trial involves approximately 700 adult male participants. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either Saruparib or a matching placebo alongside physicians choice of ADT, with or without abiraterone and prednisoneprednisolone, depending on their cohort. Cohort A includes those receiving RT and continuous ADT, while Cohort B includes participants receiving RT, ADT, and abiraterone. Saruparib and placebo are administered orally. Treatment continues with close monitoring throughout the study. Participants will undergo scans including CT or MRI, bone scans, and PSMA-PET after their planned RT to confirm eligibility and monitor disease status. They will be followed for survival and disease progression for up to approximately 11 years. Researchers will assess metastasis-free survival, overall survival, prostate cancer-specific survival, biochemical recurrence, physical function, and urinary symptoms. Safety and drug levels will also be monitored. An independent committee will review safety and efficacy regularly throughout the trial.

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 drug orforglipron in people who have obesity or are overweight and also suffer from osteoarthritis OA of the knee with pain. This study aims to assess how well and safely orforglipron works for this group of participants. The trial is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company. Participation in the study will last about 74 weeks. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive orforglipron or a placebo orally. The study includes two independent groups under a master protocol, each comparing orforglipron to placebo. Treatment is given once daily, and the study design is parallel-arm, meaning participants remain in their assigned group throughout the trial. During the study, participants will undergo various assessments including pain evaluation using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index WOMAC pain subscale, physical function tests, body weight measurement, health surveys, walking tests, and blood tests for inflammation markers and cholesterol. Safety and drug levels will also be monitored. These evaluations occur from the beginning of the study through week 72, with participant involvement spanning about 74 weeks total.

Researchers are studying two surgical procedures to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer in women with BRCA1 genetic mutations. This trial compares bilateral salpingectomy, which removes only the fallopian tubes, with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, which removes both fallopian tubes and ovaries. The goal is to find out if removing just the fallopian tubes with delayed ovary removal is nearly as effective as removing both from the start. Participants choose between two groups one undergoes bilateral salpingectomy with the option of later ovary removal, and the other undergoes bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Both groups have imaging tests like pelvic ultrasounds or pelvic MRIs during screening and provide blood samples throughout the study. Follow-up visits occur at multiple time points, including 10 to 60 days, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, and then yearly for up to 20 years. During the study, researchers track if ovarian or related cancers develop and assess symptoms related to estrogen loss, quality of life, cancer-related distress, sexual function, menopausal symptoms, medical decision making, and any adverse events. Various questionnaires and imaging tests support these evaluations. Long-term safety and cancer risk reduction are monitored for up to two decades after surgery.

Researchers are evaluating the disease-free survival in participants with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer HR-NMIBC who have previously received Bacillus Calmette-Gurin BCG treatment. This Phase 3 trial compares a new treatment called TAR-210 with the investigators choice of intravesical chemotherapy. The study focuses on participants with specific fibroblast growth factor receptor FGFR alterations and aims to find out which treatment better prevents cancer recurrence or progression after BCG therapy. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. Group A will have TAR-210 inserted into the bladder starting on Day 1 and continuing for about 2 years. Group B will receive either mitomycin C or gemcitabine chemotherapy, chosen by the investigator, given once weekly for 4 to 6 weeks induction, followed by monthly maintenance doses for up to 1 year, with a possible second year of maintenance at the investigators discretion. All treatments are delivered directly into the bladder intravesically. During the study, participants will be monitored for up to 5 years to track disease-free survival and other outcomes such as recurrence-free survival, time to next intervention, disease worsening, progression, and overall survival. Researchers will also assess side effects, laboratory and vital sign changes, and quality of life using specific questionnaires. The study includes regular evaluations and safety monitoring throughout the participation period, which may last several years.

Researchers are evaluating whether the combination of vicadrostat BI 690517 and empagliflozin helps adults with heart failure who have symptoms and a left ventricular ejection fraction LVEF of 40% or more. This phase III study is designed to compare the effects of vicadrostatempagliflozin tablets versus placeboempagliflozin tablets on heart failure outcomes. The study aims to understand if this combined treatment improves health and reduces heart-related events. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups one group takes vicadrostat plus empagliflozin tablets once a day, and the other takes placebo plus empagliflozin tablets once a day. The study has no fixed duration and continues as long as participants benefit and tolerate the treatment. Throughout the study, participants visit their doctors regularly for health checks, and study staff may also contact them by phone to monitor well-being and any side effects. During the study, researchers monitor participants health through regular doctor visits and phone contacts. They collect data on heart-related events such as cardiovascular death, hospitalizations for heart failure, and urgent visits for heart failure over up to 42 months. Participants also answer questions about their symptoms and well-being. The study carefully tracks safety and treatment tolerance while gathering information to determine if the combined treatment helps people with heart failure.

Researchers are investigating treatments for patients with stage IV or recurring non-small cell lung cancer who have previously received platinum chemotherapy and immunotherapy. This phase IIIII trial compares the effects of adding cemiplimab, an immune system-stimulating monoclonal antibody, to the usual combination of docetaxel and ramucirumab. The goal is to see if adding cemiplimab helps the immune system better attack tumor cells and improves survival outcomes. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives docetaxel and ramucirumab along with dexamethasone, while the other group receives these same treatments plus cemiplimab. Treatments are given in cycles every 21 days, with infusions lasting from 30 minutes to an hour depending on the drug. Patients undergo regular blood sample collections and imaging scans such as CT or MRI throughout the study. During the trial, participants are monitored for overall survival, disease progression, tumor response, and side effects. After completing treatment, follow-up visits occur every 3 to 6 months for up to 3 years. Blood tests and imaging help assess treatment effects and safety. Researchers also collect and store blood and tissue samples to support future studies.
