Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of two different doses of remibrutinib compared to a placebo in adults and adolescents with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). This phase 3 study aims to determine how well remibrutinib works in treating this chronic skin condition characterized by painful abscesses and inflammatory nodules. The study lasts a total of 76 weeks and includes several phases: up to 4 weeks for screening, followed by a 16-week double-blind treatment period where participants receive either remibrutinib Dose A, Dose B, or a matching placebo. After this, there is a 52-week treatment period where all participants receive remibrutinib (Dose A or Dose B). Finally, a 4-week safety follow-up period occurs without treatment. Participants who stop treatment early are encouraged to stay in the study and complete the safety follow-up. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed for clinical response to treatment, focusing on the proportion achieving a 50% improvement in HS symptoms by week 16. Researchers will monitor safety and tolerability throughout the study, including during the follow-up period. Various evaluations such as physical exams and clinical assessments will be conducted to measure treatment effects and ensure participant safety over the entire 76-week duration.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, effectiveness, and drug levels of Deucravacitinib (BMS-986165) in adolescents aged 12 to less than 18 years with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. This phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to better understand how this treatment affects this condition in younger patients. Participants must have had stable plaque psoriasis for at least six months and meet specific severity criteria. Participants will receive either Deucravacitinib or a placebo at specified doses on designated days. The study compares the drug to placebo to assess its impact on psoriasis symptoms. No additional details about dosing schedules are provided, but the intervention period includes monitoring drug levels and safety. This design allows researchers to evaluate the treatment in a controlled and blinded manner. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for improvement in their psoriasis using measures like the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and the static Physicians Global Assessment (sPGA) at week 16. Safety will also be assessed. The primary outcomes include the number of participants achieving at least 75% improvement in PASI and those reaching clear or almost clear skin with a significant reduction in sPGA score. Participants are observed from screening through the intervention period with regular assessments to track efficacy and safety.

Researchers are studying the safety and effects of an investigational medicine called PF-08653944 in adults who are overweight or have obesity along with type 2 diabetes. This condition involves carrying too much body weight and having high blood sugar levels. The study is a phase 3, multi-center, randomized placebo-controlled trial that aims to evaluate the medicine's ability to help with weight loss and monitor its safety. Participants will receive either the study medicine or a placebo by weekly injections under the skin in the belly area. About two-thirds of participants will get the study medicine, while one-third will receive the placebo. Participants will be trained to administer the injections themselves at home. The study will last about 21 months and includes up to 14 visits to the study site and 5 phone calls. During the study, participants will be closely monitored through visits and phone contacts. Researchers will measure changes in body weight from the start to week 64 to evaluate effectiveness. The study will also include assessments of safety and treatment effects over the entire duration. Participants need to perform finger-stick glucose monitoring as required and follow the study procedures throughout the trial.

Researchers are studying how well lebrikizumab works for adolescents and adults with moderate atopic dermatitis (eczema) who have a high level of itchiness and limited areas affected on the body. The study focuses on participants who have had eczema for at least one year and aims to measure improvements in skin condition and itch severity. This is a Phase 4, open-label, single-arm trial involving individuals aged 12 and older. Participants will receive lebrikizumab through subcutaneous injections. The treatment period lasts for 24 weeks (6 months), during which the medication is administered as per the study protocol. The entire participation, including screening and follow-up, spans approximately 38 weeks (9 and a half months). During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including skin evaluations and itch severity ratings to track changes from baseline. Researchers will measure the percentage of participants achieving at least a 75% improvement in eczema severity or a 4-point reduction in itch intensity by week 16. Safety and adherence to treatment will also be monitored throughout the study duration.

Alopecia areata (AA) is a long-lasting autoimmune condition that causes nonscarring hair loss affecting people of all ages, races, and genders. It mainly impacts the scalp but can also involve nails, eyelashes, eyebrows, and other hair areas on the body. The three main types of AA are patchy alopecia, alopecia totalis, and alopecia universalis. Ritlecitinib is a recently approved medication targeting specific enzymes involved in AA, and this study aims to assess its effectiveness and patient outcomes in a real-world setting. Patients in this study will receive ritlecitinib as prescribed by their doctors according to the approved product label and standard care practices. Treatment will be given in routine clinical practice without influence from the study. The study does not include a comparison group but will monitor how patients are treated with ritlecitinib and their response over time. Participants will have regular clinic visits as part of their standard care, during which data on their disease and treatment will be collected. This includes patient-reported outcomes and questionnaires. The main outcome measured is the percentage change in hair loss severity using the Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) score after 24 weeks of treatment. The study will help provide insights into patient characteristics, treatment patterns, and clinical results with ritlecitinib in everyday medical practice.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of once-weekly injectable MET097 in adults who have obesity or are overweight with related weight complications, but who do not have type 2 diabetes. This phase 3, multi-center randomized controlled trial aims to understand how well MET097 works and how safe it is over a long period. The study will last 84 weeks, with the primary effectiveness measured after 64 weeks of treatment. Participants will receive either MET097 or a placebo, both given once a week by subcutaneous injection. The study compares these two groups to assess the impact of MET097 on weight and related health issues. The treatment period is followed by continued monitoring to evaluate longer-term effects up to 84 weeks. During the study, participants' body weight changes will be carefully tracked from the start through week 64, which is the main outcome measure. Additional health assessments will occur through the 84-week duration to monitor safety and overall responses. Participants will be supported and monitored regularly to assess the medication's impact and any side effects throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety of two drugs, Deucravacitinib and Ustekinumab, in adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. This Phase 3b/4 study focuses on participants who are candidates for phototherapy or systemic treatment and have specific cardiovascular risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, or a family history of heart disease. Participants will receive either Deucravacitinib or Ustekinumab at specified doses on set days. This open-label, randomized study compares these treatments over an extended period to monitor their safety profiles, including cardiovascular health. Throughout the study, researchers will track major adverse cardiovascular events, including heart attacks, strokes, and related procedures, for up to five years. Participants will undergo regular assessments to monitor their psoriasis and cardiovascular status, ensuring comprehensive safety evaluation during the long-term treatment.
