Researchers are evaluating the effects of a triple therapy inhaler combining budesonide, glycopyrronium, and formoterol fumarate BGF MDI 32014.49.6 g compared to a dual therapy inhaler with glycopyrronium and formoterol fumarate GFF MDI 14.49.6 g on heart and lung outcomes in adults with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease COPD who have a higher risk for heart and lung events. This Phase III study is randomized, double-blind, and conducted at multiple centers, focusing on participants with COPD and elevated cardiopulmonary risk. Participants will receive either the triple therapy inhaler or the dual therapy inhaler, both administered twice daily. The study compares these two inhalers over a period of up to three years, monitoring for serious cardiac or COPD events. The trial includes careful evaluation of various heart and lung-related health events during this period. During the study, participants will be closely monitored through regular visits, assessments, and tests to measure lung function, heart events, and COPD exacerbations. Researchers will track the time until the first severe cardiac or COPD event and evaluate other cardiovascular and respiratory outcomes over up to three years. Participants will also be assessed for their ability to properly use the inhaler and adherence to the study protocol throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating Afimkibart RO7790121 for people with moderately to severely active Crohns disease. This Phase III clinical trial aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of both induction and maintenance therapy using this drug compared to a placebo. The study is designed as a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial across multiple centers. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups receiving either Afimkibart via intravenous infusion followed by subcutaneous injection or matching placebo treatments. The study involves continuous treatment through induction and maintenance phases to compare outcomes at weeks 12 and 52. The trial includes a placebo group to provide a comparison for evaluating Afimkibarts effects. During the study, participants will have regular visits for assessments including clinical remission rates, endoscopic response, symptomatic remission, stool frequency, abdominal pain, and quality of life questionnaires. Researchers will monitor various outcomes over 52 weeks and track adverse events for up to 70 weeks after baseline. This long-term follow-up helps evaluate both the treatments impact and safety throughout the trial period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of induction therapy using Afimkibart also called RO7790121 in people with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis UC. This Phase III study is designed as a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to compare Afimkibart with a placebo. The study aims to understand how well Afimkibart works to induce remission in UC and its safety profile. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive Afimkibart through an intravenous IV infusion followed by a subcutaneous SC injection, while the other group will receive matching placebo infusions and injections. The treatment period lasts 12 weeks, during which researchers will assess the effects of the therapies. Throughout the study, participants will undergo various assessments including evaluations of clinical remission, endoscopic improvement, histologic changes, and symptom severity at specified time points such as baseline, Week 2, and Week 12. Safety will be monitored by tracking adverse events for up to 30 weeks after starting treatment. The total participation duration spans the treatment and follow-up periods to gather comprehensive data on outcomes and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy of selnoflast compared with a placebo in adults with atherosclerosis who are at high risk for major adverse cardiovascular events MACE and are currently receiving standard-of-care therapy. This Phase IIa study aims to assess how selnoflast affects vascular inflammation in this population. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups one group will receive selnoflast orally twice a day for 12 weeks, while the other group will receive a matching placebo on the same schedule. The study uses a quadruple masking design to compare the effects of selnoflast and placebo over the treatment period. During the 12 weeks of treatment, participants will undergo assessments including imaging scans to measure vascular inflammation, blood tests for drug concentration, and monitoring for adverse events. The primary outcome is the change in a vascular inflammation measure called mdsTBR in a target blood vessel from baseline to week 12 in participants with elevated baseline inflammation levels. Safety and pharmacokinetics will be followed up to about 20 weeks. Overall participation lasts up to approximately 6 months.

Researchers are studying the effects of camlipixant in adults with two types of irritable bowel syndrome IBS-D diarrhea-predominant and IBS-M mixed type. This Phase 2b trial aims to assess how well camlipixant works and how safe it is when compared to a placebo. The study includes two parts, where after the first part, some participants may be randomly assigned to receive a higher dose of camlipixant or stop taking the drug. Participants receive camlipixant at different dose levels or a placebo during the first part of the study. In the second part, all participants are randomized again to either continue with camlipixant or placebo. The treatment lasts up to 26 weeks, with doses adjusted in the second phase. The study uses a triple-blind design where neither participants nor researchers know who receives which treatment during the trial. During the study, participants will regularly report their abdominal pain intensity and stool form using specific scoring systems. Researchers will monitor safety by tracking adverse events and changes in vital signs and laboratory tests. The main outcome measures focus on changes in abdominal pain intensity over weeks 7 to 12. Participants will be assessed throughout the 26-week period to evaluate the treatments effects and safety.

Researchers are observing how avacincaptad pegol is used in routine clinical practice for people with geographic atrophy caused by age-related macular degeneration AMD. Geographic atrophy is an advanced form of AMD where retinal cells waste away, leading to worsening central vision and potential permanent vision loss. This observational study collects information on treatment and medical events related to avacincaptad pegol without influencing the doctors treatment decisions. Participants in this study have chosen to begin treatment with avacincaptad pegol, delivered as intravitreal injections into the eye. The study records how often and how long the treatment is given, along with reasons for stopping treatment. It monitors participants receiving this treatment in one or both eyes as part of their regular medical care, without additional interventions from the study. During the study, participants will have eye exams as part of their usual care and will complete surveys about their eye health at the start of treatment, every six months for two years, and then yearly. Researchers will gather data from medical records to track treatment usage, vision changes, and any adverse events for up to about five years. This long-term observation helps understand real-world treatment patterns and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of ibezapolstat ACX-362E in adults with recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection CDI who have experienced three or more episodes within the past year. This Phase 2, open-label, single-arm study focuses on treatment and reducing CDI recurrence in this patient group. Participants will receive ibezapolstat 450 mg orally every 12 hours with food for 14 days, totaling 28 doses. Up to 20 participants will be treated and monitored through multiple follow-up points to assess clinical cure on Day 16, sustained clinical cure on Day 42, and CDI recurrence rates up to Week 24. Extended clinical cure will also be evaluated during this period. During the study, participants will be closely monitored for clinical response, recurrence of infection, and changes in the fecal microbiome. Researchers will assess time to diarrhea resolution and track safety and tolerability. Follow-up visits will continue through Week 24 to evaluate long-term outcomes and sustained treatment effects.

This research aims to evaluate the effects of combining baxdrostat with dapagliflozin compared to dapagliflozin alone in adults aged 40 and older who have type 2 diabetes, established cardiovascular disease, a history of hypertension with a systolic blood pressure of at least 130 mmHg, and at least one additional risk factor for heart failure. The study is a phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled trial focusing on preventing heart failure events and cardiovascular death. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat with dapagliflozin or placebo with dapagliflozin. Those starting the baxdrostatdapagliflozin treatment may begin with a lower baxdrostat dose that can be increased if certain criteria are met. A run-in period with dapagliflozin alone for 4 to 6 weeks may occur for those not previously treated or treated less than 4 weeks with SGLT2 inhibitors. Treatment visits will occur at about 2, 4, 8, 16, and 34 weeks after randomization, then every 4 months until study closure. Participants will undergo screening for eligibility within a 14-day period, with an optional pre-screening phase that does not require site visits or consent. During the study, regular assessments including monitoring for heart failure events and cardiovascular outcomes will be conducted. If participants stop the blinded treatment early, they may continue with open-label dapagliflozin unless specific discontinuation criteria apply. The study will continue until a predetermined number of cardiovascular events occur, with ongoing data collection and visits according to protocol.

Researchers are evaluating whether adding zilebesiran to standard antihypertensive treatment can reduce major cardiovascular events in adults with hypertension that is not well controlled and who either have established cardiovascular disease or are at high risk for it. This phase 3, randomized, double-blind study aims to determine if zilebesiran lowers the risk of cardiovascular death, heart attacks, strokes, or heart failure events compared to placebo. The study will continue until a targeted number of these events have occurred, which may take up to about 5 years. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either 300 mg of zilebesiran or a placebo, both given as subcutaneous injections every 6 months, alongside their usual blood pressure medications. The study uses a parallel design and includes careful monitoring of blood pressure and cardiovascular events over time. Both groups will continue their standard antihypertensive therapies, including at least two medications where one must be a diuretic. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed for cardiovascular events such as heart attacks, strokes, heart failure hospitalizations, and cardiovascular death. Blood pressure measurements will be taken at baseline and at 6 months, among other times. The primary outcome is the time until the first occurrence of a major cardiovascular event, with secondary outcomes including changes in blood pressure and other cardiovascular events. Participants will be followed for up to approximately 5 years to monitor these outcomes and overall survival.
