Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of different doses of Frevecitinib KN-002 for adults with severe asthma that is not well controlled despite using medium to high doses of inhaled corticosteroids combined with long-acting beta-agonists ICSLABA. This Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to understand how well Frevecitinib works and how safe it is over a 12-week treatment period. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups three groups will receive different doses of Frevecitinib delivered via a dry powder inhaler, and one group will receive a matching placebo. Treatment will last for 12 weeks, during which patients will continue their usual asthma therapies alongside the study medication or placebo. During the study, participants will undergo various assessments including lung function tests like pre-bronchodilator FEV1, asthma control questionnaires ACQ-6, peak expiratory flow measurements, and quality of life evaluations AQLQ. Researchers will also collect data on daily asthma symptoms, pharmacokinetics, and markers of airway inflammation such as fractional exhaled nitric oxide. Safety and efficacy will be monitored throughout the 12-week period to evaluate the impact of Frevecitinib on severe asthma symptoms.

Researchers are evaluating a blood-based test called Episwitch CiRT4 to see if it can predict how patients with stage III or IV cancer will respond to immune checkpoint inhibitor ICI treatments, specifically PD-L-1 inhibitors. This observational study aims to compare test predictions with actual patient responses across different types of cancer. The study also explores how social factors might relate to treatment responses and outcomes. Patients who are candidates for or currently receiving ICI therapy will undergo the Episwitch CiRT4 test before starting or during treatment. If the test indicates a high likelihood of response, repeat testing will occur every three months. Participants will be followed for six months to collect data on treatment administered, disease progression, survival, and patient-reported outcomes, along with social determinants of health. Throughout the study, researchers will gather clinical information, including physician questionnaires and patient feedback, to assess outcomes such as disease-free survival and time to recurrence. The study will also analyze health economics related to the tests potential to reduce unnecessary ICI treatments. Monitoring will continue for 24 weeks, with comprehensive data collection to evaluate the correlation between test results, social factors, and patient outcomes.

Researchers are evaluating oral icotrokinra as a treatment for adults and adolescents with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the large intestine causing ulcers in the colon lining. The study aims to assess how well icotrokinra works, along with its safety and tolerability in this population. This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with a parallel group design including both adults and adolescents. Adult participants will be randomly assigned to receive either icotrokinra or placebo daily by mouth during a 12-week induction phase. At Week 12, those showing clinical response will enter a maintenance phase where they will continue icotrokinra or placebo daily for 40 weeks. Adults who do not respond will also enter the maintenance phase and receive icotrokinra. Adolescents will receive open-label icotrokinra during induction and then continue on icotrokinra during maintenance regardless of response. After completing the 40-week maintenance phase, eligible participants may join a long-term extension study. Participants will be monitored regularly through clinical assessments at specified time points including Week 12 for induction and Week 40 for maintenance. Outcomes measured include rates of clinical remission, symptom improvement, endoscopic and histologic healing, and quality of life scores. Safety will be evaluated by tracking adverse and serious adverse events throughout the study. The total study duration may extend up to approximately 6 years, ending in 2032, allowing long-term evaluation of icotrokinra in ulcerative colitis management.
