Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab, both combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, as a first-line treatment for patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC whose tumors express PD-L1 at levels of 1% or higher. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, global study aims to compare these treatments to improve outcomes for this patient group. Participants will receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab, each given intravenously on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle, combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy either carboplatin or cisplatin also given on Day 1 of each cycle for up to four cycles. After chemotherapy cycles, patients continue with rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab monotherapy combined with pemetrexed maintenance. The study follows patients for up to approximately six years to monitor treatment effects and safety. During the study, participants undergo assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor size, blood tests to evaluate organ function, and questionnaires about symptoms and quality of life. Researchers monitor overall survival and progression-free survival as primary outcomes, alongside other measures such as response duration and physical functioning. Safety is closely observed throughout, with study visits scheduled regularly during treatment and follow-up periods, lasting up to six years in total.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of rilvegostomig combined with platinum-based chemotherapy compared to pembrolizumab combined with platinum-based chemotherapy as a first treatment for patients with locally advanced or metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer mNSCLC whose tumors express programmed death-ligand 1 PD-L1. This Phase III global study focuses on patients with PD-L1 tumor cell expression of 1% or higher and aims to determine which treatment provides better overall and progression-free survival. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two study groups one group will receive rilvegostomig plus carboplatin and either paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel chemotherapy, while the other group will receive pembrolizumab plus the same chemotherapy options. Rilvegostomig and pembrolizumab are both given intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle, with chemotherapy given up to 4 cycles. Nab-paclitaxel may be administered on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle. Treatment continues with rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab until disease progression or other criteria are met. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor response, laboratory tests to monitor organ function, and patient questionnaires about physical function and quality of life. Researchers will track overall survival, progression-free survival, response rates, and duration of response for up to approximately 6 years. Safety and immune response to rilvegostomig will also be evaluated. Participants will be closely monitored throughout the treatment and follow-up periods.

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 if adding LY3537982 olomorasib to standard anti-cancer drugs improves treatment for participants with untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC that has a specific KRAS G12C gene change.

Some groups also receive chemotherapy drugs pemetrexed and platinum cisplatin or carboplatin intravenously. There are different dose levels and combinations being tested, including placebo groups for comparison. Treatment continues until specific discontinuation criteria are met. Parts of the study are randomized and double-blinded, with some parts non-randomized for safety lead-in. During the study, participants have regular assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor response, blood tests, and questionnaires about symptoms and quality of life. Researchers monitor side effects and survival outcomes. The main measures include progression-free survival and treatment-emergent adverse events over about one year, with overall survival followed for up to three years. Participants are closely followed throughout treatment and after to evaluate the effects and safety of the study medications.

Researchers are conducting a Phase III, randomized, open-label multicenter study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of giredestrant compared with fulvestrant. Both drugs are combined with the investigators choice of a CDK46 inhibitor palbociclib, ribociclib, or abemaciclib in participants with estrogen receptor-positive ER, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer who have become resistant to prior adjuvant endocrine therapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups one group will receive giredestrant 30 mg orally daily on Days 1-28 of each 28-day cycle, while the other will receive fulvestrant 500 mg intramuscularly on Days 1 and 15 of Cycle 1 and Day 1 of subsequent 28-day cycles. Both groups will also receive a CDK46 inhibitor chosen by the investigator, with dosing schedules depending on the specific inhibitor selected. Preperimenopausal women and men will receive a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone LHRH agonist during treatment. Participants will be assessed for progression-free survival over up to 5 years, with additional measures including overall survival, response rates, duration of response, clinical benefit, and quality of life. Safety will be monitored through adverse event reporting, vital signs, and laboratory tests during treatment and up to 28 days after the last dose. The study is led by Hoffmann-La Roche and aims to provide detailed information on the treatments effects in this patient population.

This trial is focused on adults with cancer who are receiving chemotherapy and experience nausea and vomiting as side effects. Researchers are studying a drug called LY3537021 to see how well it controls these symptoms and to evaluate its safety. The study is a Phase 2, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to better understand the treatment options for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in this population. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either LY3537021 or a placebo, both given as a subcutaneous injection before chemotherapy. All participants also receive standard anti-nausea treatments, which may be taken orally, intravenously, or through skin patches. The chemotherapy drugs involved include cisplatin or an anthracycline and cyclophosphamide combination. The study treatment is given prior to chemotherapy, and the trial lasts about two months per participant. During the study, participants will be monitored for nausea and vomiting from the time of their chemotherapy infusion through up to five days afterward. Researchers will collect data on symptom control, the need for rescue medications, and drug levels in the body. Participants will complete diaries to track nausea severity. Safety and response to treatment are carefully observed. The study aims to measure how many participants have a complete response to nausea and vomiting during the delayed phase after chemotherapy.

Researchers are evaluating the effect of AZD6793, an oral medication, in adults with moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD. This Phase IIb, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involves approximately 970 participants across about 350 global sites. The trial aims to compare the efficacy and safety of two different doses of AZD6793 against placebo over a 24-week period. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups receiving either dose 1 of AZD6793, dose 2 of AZD6793, or a matching placebo tablet. The study medication is taken orally and the trial lasts for 24 weeks. The study is designed as a parallel-group format with a 111 allocation ratio among the three arms. During the study, participants will be monitored through various assessments including lung function tests measuring forced expiratory volume FEV1, questionnaires evaluating breathlessness, cough, sputum, and quality of life, and tracking of COPD exacerbation events. Blood samples will be collected to measure plasma concentrations of AZD6793. Safety and efficacy outcomes will be evaluated up to 24 weeks, with the main outcome being the rate of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of two study medicines, PF-07275315 and PF-07264660, for treating moderate to severe atopic dermatitis AD, a long-lasting itchy red rash caused by a skin reaction. The study includes adults aged 18 years or older who have had AD confirmed for at least six months and have not responded effectively to topical treatments. The study is a Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial sponsored by Pfizer. The study consists of multiple stages. In Stage 1, participants received PF-07275315, PF-07264660, or a placebo for 12 weeks. Stage 2 involves PF-07275315 or placebo injections over 12 weeks. Stage 3 includes participants who previously received anti-inflammatory proteins, with treatment lasting up to 32 weeks. Stage 4 involves PF-07264660 or placebo injections for 12 weeks. All injections are given as multiple shots in a clinic setting. Participants will be in the study for up to 40 weeks in Stages 1, 2, and 4, and up to 52 weeks in Stage 3. Researchers will monitor skin improvements using measures such as the EASI75 score, which reflects a 75% improvement in eczema severity, along with other skin assessments, vital signs, ECG, and laboratory tests. Safety and treatment effects will be closely observed throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating an experimental drug called alirocumab for adults with hypercholesterolemia, a condition characterized by high blood cholesterol levels. This Phase 2 study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of alirocumab when given weekly. The trial also explores other important questions, such as potential side effects and how the drug behaves in the blood over time. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four study groups receiving different doses of alirocumab, ranging from low to high doses, including a control dose. The drug is administered according to the study protocol on a weekly basis. The study monitors participants for up to 20 weeks to observe the effects and drug levels in the body. During the study, participants will have regular blood tests to measure cholesterol levels and the concentration of alirocumab in their serum. Researchers will track changes in LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and other markers through 12 weeks, as well as monitor any treatment-emergent side effects during the 20 weeks. The total study duration lasts until February 2027, with close safety and pharmacokinetic follow-up.

This trial investigates monitoring and treatment options for patients with low risk and standard risk metastatic germ cell tumors, which are cancers that start in the cells that produce sperm or eggs. The study aims to find out if active surveillance after surgical removal of low risk tumors can maintain high survival rates, and whether carboplatin or cisplatin chemotherapy works better for treating standard risk tumors in children, adolescents, and young adults. Patients with low risk tumors undergo observation after surgery and may transfer to a standard risk treatment arm if the tumor recurs. Those with standard risk tumors are randomly assigned to receive one of two chemotherapy regimens one containing carboplatin, bleomycin, and etoposide, or the other containing cisplatin, bleomycin, and etoposide. Treatments are given intravenously in cycles every 21 days for up to 3 or 4 cycles depending on the group. Throughout the study, patients have imaging scans, blood tests, tumor biopsies, and pulmonary function tests to monitor response and side effects. Participants are followed closely during treatment and afterward with regular check-ups including CT, MRI, and chest X-rays, as well as blood sample collections. Follow-up visits occur every 2 months for the first year, then every 3-6 months up to 2 years, every 6 months for years 3 to 5, and annually up to 10 years. Researchers measure overall survival, event-free survival, hearing loss, body composition, tumor markers, and patient-reported outcomes related to hearing and neuropathy. This long-term monitoring helps assess the effects and safety of chemotherapy and surveillance strategies.
