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 the effectiveness and safety of a combination inhaler containing fluticasone propionate and albuterol sulfate, delivered via a multidose dry powder inhaler with an electronic module, in participants aged 12 years and older with asthma. This Phase 3 trial aims to compare this combination treatment to fluticasone propionate alone, albuterol sulfate alone, or a placebo inhaler. The study also assesses different dosing schedules, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of these inhalers. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups receiving either the combination inhaler, fluticasone propionate inhaler, albuterol sulfate inhaler, or placebo, all with integrated electronic modules. Treatments are administered over a 4-week period with dosing four times daily. Pharmacokinetic assessments will be conducted after a single dose administration. The study is double-blind and placebo-controlled, with a parallel group design. Throughout the approximately 10-week study period, including screening and treatment, participants will undergo evaluations including lung function tests measuring forced expiratory volume in one second FEV1, asthma control questionnaires, and safety assessments. Researchers will monitor treatment-emergent adverse events and measure blood concentrations of the inhaled drugs. The study includes electronic monitoring of inhaler use and collects data at baseline, during treatment, and at week 4, with follow-up to assess efficacy and safety.

Researchers are studying PRL-02 depot, a potential injectable treatment for men with advanced prostate cancer, including those whose cancer has returned or not responded to previous treatments. The trial aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability of PRL-02 depot alone or combined with enzalutamide, as well as to determine the appropriate dose. This Phase 1 study is sponsored by Astellas Pharma Global Development, Inc. and focuses on men with metastatic or biochemical relapse forms of prostate cancer. Participants will be divided into groups receiving different doses of PRL-02 depot injected into a muscle every 12 weeks. They will also take daily oral doses of either dexamethasone, prednisone, or enzalutamide depending on their study group and prior treatments. The study has two parts dose escalation with small groups receiving increasing doses, and dose expansion involving men previously treated with specific hormone therapies. During the trial, men will visit the clinic multiple times for health checks, scans, and blood tests to monitor side effects, disease progression, and testosterone suppression. After the final visit, those whose cancer has not worsened will continue to have periodic health assessments and scans. The main outcomes include tracking dose limiting toxicities and adverse events over up to four years, along with detailed pharmacokinetic and response measurements.

Researchers are comparing two chemotherapy treatment plans for patients with newly diagnosed intermediate-risk rhabdomyosarcoma, a type of soft tissue cancer. This phase III trial evaluates whether a higher dose chemotherapy over a shorter time Regimen A is better than a lower dose chemotherapy followed by maintenance treatment over a longer time Regimen B, both combined with standard surgery and radiation. The study also aims to assess survival rates, treatment side effects, and molecular features of the tumor. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. Regimen A involves multiple cycles of vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide given intravenously every 21 days, with possible surgery during week 12 and radiation treatments during specified cycles. Regimen B includes alternating cycles of vincristine, dactinomycin, cyclophosphamide, and irinotecan, followed by 24 weeks of maintenance chemotherapy with vinorelbine and oral cyclophosphamide. Both groups undergo imaging scans and biopsies as needed during treatment. Throughout the study, participants will have regular CT or MRI scans and blood tests, along with other procedures such as lymph node biopsies, bone marrow tests, and lumbar punctures to monitor disease status. After treatment, follow-up visits occur every 3 months for the first year, then less frequently up to 5 years to check for event-free survival and overall health. The trial also collects biospecimens for future research and evaluates treatment effects on fertility and quality of life.

Researchers are evaluating the characteristics and outcomes of individuals with asthma across different levels of disease severity in routine clinical practice. The study aims to describe participants sociodemographic and clinical features, treatment patterns, disease burden, biomarkers, and both asthma-specific and general quality of life. This research includes both a cross-sectional analysis and a prospective follow-up to observe changes in disease progression over time. The study involves participants receiving standard asthma care, including treatment with varying doses of inhaled corticosteroids andor biologic therapies. Participants are grouped based on asthma control levels and biomarker status. The first part of the study collects baseline data cross-sectionally, while the second part follows participants prospectively to assess differences in asthma symptom control, treatment use, lung function, and comorbidities over a two-year period. Participants will be involved in scheduled data collection including patient and physician-reported outcomes, lung function tests, blood samples, and questionnaires assessing quality of life and symptom control. The study monitors treatment utilization and health resource use from the prior year and during follow-up visits at one and two years. The total participation period spans up to two years with ongoing assessment of disease characteristics and outcomes.

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 the real-world use and safety of BRIUMVI4 ublituximab-xiiy in adults with relapsing multiple sclerosis RMS. The study aims to understand the safety, effectiveness, and treatment experience of participants prescribed this medication outside of controlled clinical trials. This observational study is sponsored by TG Therapeutics, Inc. and focuses on patients receiving routine care with BRIUMVI4. Participants in this study will receive BRIUMVI4 through intravenous infusion as prescribed for RMS treatment. The study includes participants who have been prescribed BRIUMVI4 but have not yet received their first infusion at the start of the study. No placebo or other interventions are involved, and the study observes the treatment as it is given in real-world medical settings. During the study, participants will be monitored for up to 96 weeks to assess their annualized relapse rate ARR. Researchers will also track adverse events, serious adverse events, and infusion-related reactions at each infusion. Participant safety and treatment experience will be observed through regular clinical assessments and data collection, with the study lasting until April 2032.

Researchers are investigating the best way to combine chemotherapy and radiation therapy for patients aged 3 to 29 years with localized non-germinomatous germ cell tumors NGGCT in the brain. This phase II trial aims to optimize treatment based on how well the tumor responds to initial chemotherapy, with the goal of reducing spinal cord relapses and adjusting therapy for better disease control. The study also compares different radiation types and examines cognitive and physical effects in children and young adults with NGGCT. Participants first receive induction chemotherapy consisting of carboplatin, etoposide, and ifosfamide over six cycles every 21 days. Based on tumor response, patients are assigned to one of two plans Plan A involves whole ventricular plus spinal canal irradiation WVSCI, delivered daily for 6 weeks, while Plan B includes high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplant followed by radiation therapy to the whole brain and spine. Some patients may undergo second-look surgery depending on tumor response before continuing treatment. Throughout the study, participants undergo MRI scans, collection of cerebrospinal fluid and blood samples, and questionnaires assessing cognitive, social, and behavioral functioning. Researchers monitor tumor response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and patterns of disease recurrence for up to 10 years. Safety and side effects are also evaluated to better understand long-term outcomes of these treatment approaches.

Researchers are evaluating AP301, a novel iron-based phosphate binder, in patients with chronic kidney disease who are receiving maintenance dialysis and have elevated blood phosphate levels. This phase 3, randomized, double-blind study aims to determine whether AP301 lowers blood phosphate and how it affects serum calcium, calcium times phosphate, and intact parathyroid hormone levels. The trial also assesses any discomfort or medical problems during treatment and its impact on quality of life in Chinese patients. Participants will first stop all phosphate-lowering medications. They will then take either AP301 or a low-dose comparator considered ineffective three times daily for 8 weeks. Following this, all participants receive AP301 three times daily for 24 weeks, with dose adjustments based on blood phosphate levels and physician judgment. Finally, participants will take either AP301 or the comparator three times daily for 3 weeks. Additional treatments may be given if blood phosphate levels become too high or low. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including blood tests to monitor serum phosphate, calcium, and parathyroid hormone levels. Electrocardiogram tests will measure changes in QT intervals. Safety is monitored by tracking adverse events throughout the trial, which lasts up to 37 weeks. The primary outcome is the change in serum phosphate concentration from baseline to the end of week 8, with ongoing evaluations over the entire study period.
