Researchers are investigating whether buntanetap/Posiphen can help treat early Alzheimer's disease in adults aged 55 to 85 years. This Phase 3 study aims to find out if buntanetap/Posiphen improves thinking abilities and daily functioning compared to a placebo. It also evaluates the safety of buntanetap/Posiphen by monitoring any medical issues that participants may experience during the trial. Participants will take either a 30 mg capsule of buntanetap/Posiphen or a placebo capsule by mouth once daily for 18 months. The study includes regular clinic visits at screening, enrollment, and months 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18. During some visits, participants will have brain MRI scans. The study uses a double-blind design, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives the active drug or placebo. Throughout the study, participants will complete tests and questionnaires to measure cognitive function and daily living activities, including the ADAS-Cog13 and ADCS-iADL scales. Phone calls before and after visits help track progress and adherence. Safety is closely monitored with ongoing assessments from screening through the 18-month treatment period.

Researchers are evaluating the effect of baxdrostat combined with dapagliflozin compared to baxdrostat with placebo on reducing albuminuria in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and high blood pressure. This Phase IIb, randomized, multicenter, double-blind study includes adults aged 18 years and older, with or without type 2 diabetes and regardless of current SGLT2 inhibitor treatment. The study aims to assess both the impact on albuminuria and the safety of these treatments. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat with dapagliflozin or baxdrostat with a matching placebo. The study includes an optional pre-screening period to assess kidney function and other health markers, and those on SGLT2 inhibitors will undergo a washout before starting treatment. Randomization will consider diabetes status to ensure balanced groups. During the study, participants will be monitored up to 12 weeks to measure changes in albuminuria, specifically urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR). Safety and other health parameters will also be assessed through blood tests and blood pressure measurements. The study ends when the last participant completes their final visit and procedures, ensuring thorough data collection on treatment effects and safety.

Researchers are investigating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of combining baxdrostat with dapagliflozin compared to dapagliflozin alone in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and high blood pressure. This Phase III, international, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to see if this combination reduces risks such as significant kidney function decline, kidney failure, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death. The study includes a 4-week run-in period where participants not previously treated with SGLT2 inhibitors receive dapagliflozin alone. After this, participants are randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat plus dapagliflozin or placebo plus dapagliflozin in a double-blinded manner. Study visits occur frequently initially (at 2, 4, 8, 16, 34, and 52 weeks after randomization) and then approximately every 4 months. If participants stop the blinded treatment early, they continue dapagliflozin alone unless specific criteria require its discontinuation. Participants will undergo regular assessments including blood pressure monitoring and laboratory tests related to kidney function and cardiovascular health. The primary outcome measures the reduction in risk of major kidney and heart events over up to 37 months. Even if participants stop the study treatment, they will continue follow-up visits and data collection to ensure comprehensive safety and efficacy evaluation throughout the study duration.

Researchers are conducting a Phase 3 study to compare two front-line treatments for adults with nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is stage IV or advanced stage IIIB/C. The study focuses on patients whose tumors have a KRAS p.G12C mutation and are negative for PD-L1 expression. The main goal is to evaluate how each treatment affects progression-free survival and overall survival over about 2.5 years. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either sotorasib combined with platinum doublet chemotherapy or pembrolizumab combined with platinum doublet chemotherapy. Sotorasib is given orally, while pembrolizumab is given intravenously. Both groups will receive the combination therapies as their initial treatment for advanced NSCLC. During the study, participants will be monitored regularly to assess treatment effects and safety. Researchers will track how long patients live without the cancer worsening and overall survival over approximately 2.5 years. The study includes evaluations to determine eligibility and ongoing assessments to monitor health and treatment response throughout the trial period.

Researchers are studying the safety and effectiveness of brenipatide, given alongside standard treatment, compared to a placebo with standard treatment, to see if it can delay the return of symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder. This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind study involving adult participants aged 18 to 75 years. The trial is designed to assess how long it takes for depression symptoms to relapse after starting the adjunctive treatment. Participants will receive either brenipatide or placebo, both administered by subcutaneous injection, in addition to their stable standard of care medication. The study has three main periods: a screening period lasting about one month, followed by a treatment phase of at least 12 months where participants receive the assigned injections, and finally a follow-up period of roughly two months. The total time in the study can be shorter if symptoms worsen or if a participant withdraws. During the trial, participants will need to attend scheduled visits, self-inject the study drug, maintain study diaries, and complete questionnaires. Researchers will monitor participants closely to determine the time until relapse of major depressive disorder symptoms occurs. Safety and adherence to study procedures will be tracked throughout the trial, with the primary outcome measuring the number of days from randomization until relapse.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of a medicine called disitamab vedotin for adults with advanced breast cancer that is hard to treat and has spread in the body. This study focuses on participants whose tumors express HER2 and who have received previous treatments for their advanced breast cancer. The goal is to understand how well this medicine works and its safety in these patients through a Phase 1b/2 open-label study. All participants will receive disitamab vedotin intravenously (IV) once every two weeks at the study clinic. They will continue the treatment until they or their doctor decide to stop, which could be due to cancer progression, side effects, or personal choice. During treatment, study visits occur every two weeks. After stopping treatment, participants will have follow-up visits about every six weeks, and later follow-up phone calls approximately every twelve weeks. Participants will undergo evaluations including assessments of their cancer response by the study doctors, following recognized criteria. The study team will monitor the participants for up to about two years or until their disease progresses or they pass away. This includes safety monitoring and collecting information about the medicine’s effects to determine its safety and effectiveness.

Researchers are evaluating how well elacestrant works compared to standard endocrine therapy in adults with node-positive, Estrogen Receptor-positive (ER+), Human Epidermal Growth Factor-2 negative (HER2-) early breast cancer who are at high risk of the cancer returning. This is a Phase 3 global, multicenter, randomized, open-label study focusing on participants who have had early invasive breast cancer removed and meet specific receptor and risk criteria. The study aims to understand which treatment better prevents invasive breast cancer over up to five years. Participants will receive either elacestrant or one of several standard endocrine therapies, including anastrozole, letrozole, exemestane, or tamoxifen, all given as oral tablets. Treatments will be administered according to the study plan, with careful monitoring throughout the trial. The study includes adults who have already received between 24 and 60 months of prior endocrine therapy, with or without certain inhibitors, and who have completed or stopped these treatments as required. During the study, participants will be monitored for invasive breast cancer-free survival for up to five years. Researchers will perform regular assessments to track treatment effects, side effects, and cancer recurrence. The study also includes safety monitoring and may involve additional tests or evaluations as needed to ensure participant well-being throughout the trial.

This trial studies participants with relapsed Small Cell Lung Cancer who have received prior treatment. It aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of a new drug called ZL-1310 with therapies chosen by investigators, such as Topotecan, Lurbinectedin, or Amrubicin. This is a Phase 3, randomized, open-label study evaluating outcomes including tumor response rate and overall survival over a period of up to 27 months. Participants receive either ZL-1310 alone or one of the Investigator's Choice therapies as treatment. The study includes screening to confirm measurable disease and eligibility. Treatments are administered according to the study protocol, and tumor biopsies or archived tissue samples are collected at screening. Both treatment groups are monitored for response and side effects throughout the study period. During the trial, participants undergo regular assessments including tumor imaging evaluated by an independent review, and survival status is tracked for up to 27 months. Researchers monitor safety, treatment adherence, and disease progression. Participants are expected to comply with study visits and procedures for the entire duration of the trial to help evaluate the benefits and risks of the treatments.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of DT-101 in treating adults with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). This Phase 2 clinical trial compares DT-101 to a placebo to understand its impact on depression symptoms and evaluates the safety and tolerability of the study drug. Participants have recurrent depression diagnosed by the latest DSM manual and are between 18 and 75 years old. Participants will receive either DT-101 or placebo in a double-blind, randomized manner. The study includes physical and neurological examinations, blood and urine sample collections, and clinical assessments to monitor ongoing suitability and gather data on the drug's effects. Blood samples will also be used to study how DT-101 is absorbed and metabolized and to explore genetic factors that may influence treatment response. During the study, participants will visit the clinic every few weeks to undergo general health checks and complete questionnaires. Researchers will measure changes in depression using the Montgomery Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) from the start of the study to Day 42. Safety and adherence will be closely monitored throughout the trial, ensuring participant well-being and data accuracy.

Researchers are evaluating the study medicine PF-08046054 compared to the standard chemotherapy drug docetaxel in adults with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery or radiation. Participants must have PD-L1 expression on 1% or more of their tumor cells and have experienced cancer progression during or after treatment with PD-L1 or PD-1 inhibitors, platinum-based chemotherapy, and targeted therapies for those with known genetic mutations. The trial is a Phase 3 randomized study to better understand how well PF-08046054 works alone compared to docetaxel alone. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either PF-08046054 or docetaxel. Those in the PF-08046054 group will get intravenous (IV) infusions twice every 21-day cycle, while those in the docetaxel group will receive one IV infusion every 21 days. The treatment period may last up to 5 years if their NSCLC responds to the therapy. No other treatments are combined during the study period. Throughout the study, participants will have regular clinic visits for evaluations and monitoring to see how they respond to the treatment. Researchers will collect information on overall survival over approximately 5 years. They will also monitor safety and disease progression during these visits to understand the long-term effects and benefits of the treatments.
