Researchers are evaluating the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of IMVT-1402 in adults with Graves' disease who continue to have hyperthyroidism despite treatment with antithyroid drugs (ATD). This Phase 2b randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to compare IMVT-1402 with placebo by measuring thyroid hormone levels and ATD dose after 26 weeks. Participants will receive IMVT-1402 as a 600 mg injection under the skin once a week for either 52 weeks, or for 26 weeks followed by placebo injections for another 26 weeks. The placebo group will receive weekly placebo injections for 52 weeks. This design allows assessment of the drug's effects over time compared to placebo. During the study, participants will be monitored through laboratory tests measuring thyroid hormones (T3, FT4, TSH) to determine if they achieve normal thyroid function without ATD by Week 26. Safety and tolerability will also be evaluated throughout the treatment period. Participants must be adults between 18 and 75 years old and able to comply with study procedures.

Researchers are investigating the effect of olpasiran compared to a placebo in reducing the risk of coronary heart disease death, heart attack, or urgent coronary revascularization in people at risk for their first major cardiovascular event who have elevated lipoprotein(a) levels. This Phase 3 study focuses on participants aged 50 years and older with multiple cardiovascular risk factors or evidence of atherosclerosis. The goal is to understand whether olpasiran can help prevent these serious heart-related events in this population. Participants will receive either olpasiran or a placebo through subcutaneous injections. The study is double-blind and randomized, meaning neither participants nor researchers will know who receives the active drug or placebo. The intervention period and follow-up will continue for up to approximately 6.2 years to monitor the occurrence of major cardiovascular events. During the study, participants will be closely monitored for outcomes including time to coronary heart disease death, myocardial infarction, or urgent coronary revascularization. Regular assessments will be performed to track cardiovascular health and safety. The long observation period aims to ensure thorough evaluation of olpasiran's impact on preventing first major cardiovascular events in people with elevated lipoprotein(a).
