Researchers are studying weight reduction in adults living with obesity or overweight who also have type 2 diabetes. The study evaluates two drugs, macupatide and eloralintide, given alone or together, to understand their effects on body weight. This Phase 2 trial is designed to assess these treatments in a controlled setting with participants randomly assigned to different groups. Participants will receive one of four treatments macupatide with an eloralintide placebo, eloralintide with a macupatide placebo, both macupatide and eloralintide together, or double placebo. All drugs are administered by subcutaneous injection. The main treatment period lasts about 32 weeks, during which the effects on body weight and diabetes-related measures are monitored. Throughout the study, participants will have evaluations including body weight, hemoglobin A1c levels, body mass index, and fasting glucose at the start and at week 32. The study involves a total participation duration of about 48 weeks, allowing for treatment, follow-up, and monitoring. The sponsor is Eli Lilly and Company, and the trial uses double-blind, randomized design to compare treatments fairly.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of new treatments and combinations in adults with metastatic colorectal cancer CRC. This Phase II, global, open-label study includes a master protocol with substudies to test these treatments in participants who have not received prior systemic therapy for advanced disease and whose cancer is mismatch-repair-proficient pMMR or microsatellite stable MSS without liver metastases. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups one receiving volrustomig combined with FOLFIRI a chemotherapy regimen of irinotecan, fluorouracil, and leucovorin plus bevacizumab, and the other receiving FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab alone. All treatments are given as intravenous infusions. The study aims to compare these combinations over approximately three years. During the trial, participants will undergo regular assessments including tumor measurements, safety monitoring through adverse event tracking, and laboratory tests. Researchers will evaluate progression-free survival, overall survival, response rates, and drug concentrations in the body. The study includes monitoring for immune responses and other side effects, with total participation lasting up to about three years.

Researchers are evaluating the use of apixaban compared to aspirin to prevent stroke or death in patients who have had a recent intracerebral hemorrhage ICH and also have atrial fibrillation AF. This phase III randomized, double-blinded trial aims to determine if apixaban is superior in preventing any type of stroke or death, as well as if it leads to better functional recovery measured by the modified Rankin Scale. The study will enroll 700 patients and follow them for 12 to 36 months to assess these outcomes. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either apixaban or aspirin. Apixaban dosing is typically 5 mg twice daily, with a reduced dose of 2.5 mg twice daily for those meeting specific criteria such as older age, lower body weight, or certain medication use. Aspirin is given once daily at a dose of 81 mg. The study includes a treatment period after recent ICH, with careful monitoring for safety and efficacy. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including evaluation of stroke occurrence, death, and changes in functional status using the modified Rankin Scale. Safety and adherence will be monitored throughout the follow-up period, which ranges from 12 months up to 3 years. The research team will collect data to understand the benefits and risks of apixaban versus aspirin in this patient population.

This research study focuses on participants of all ages diagnosed with Chronic Granulomatous Disease CGD, a condition characterized by defective NADPH oxidase activity or specific genetic mutations. The study aims to understand how common certain adenovirus antibodies and inflammatory cytokines are in this group by measuring their levels in the blood. This observational study is sponsored by Ensoma and seeks to provide insight into immune markers in CGD patients. Participants will provide blood samples to allow researchers to measure total adenoviral-specific antibody titers, adenoviral-specific neutralizing antibody titers, and circulating inflammatory cytokine levels. These measurements will be taken once during the study to characterize the prevalence of these immune markers in both adult and pediatric CGD patients. During the study, participants will have blood collected for analysis of the specified antibodies and cytokines. Researchers will evaluate the levels of these markers to better understand immune responses in CGD. The study requires only a single visit for sample collection and assessment. Safety and compliance will be monitored through the ability to complete the sample collection procedure, and the total participation time is limited to this one-day visit.
