Researchers are evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of subcutaneous ianalumab in adults with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis, a condition characterized by skin thickening and other systemic symptoms. This Phase 2 study compares ianalumab to a placebo to understand its impact on this disease, aiming to provide new treatment options for affected individuals. The study is sponsored by Novartis Pharmaceuticals and employs a randomized, double-blind design to ensure reliable results. Participants receive either ianalumab or placebo through subcutaneous injections during the initial 52-week treatment period. After this, all participants enter a second 52-week open-label phase where they receive ianalumab. Following treatment, there is a post-treatment follow-up lasting at least 20 weeks and up to 2 years to monitor long-term effects. The study includes a screening period lasting up to 6 weeks before treatment begins. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular assessments including measuring response based on the rCRISS25 scale at Week 52, lung function tests, skin scoring, and disability index evaluations. Blood samples are taken periodically to measure drug levels and antibodies. Safety is closely monitored through adverse event reporting up to Week 208. The total participation time can extend over several years including treatment and follow-up phases.

Researchers are evaluating VENT-03 in adults with active cutaneous lupus erythematosus CLE, including those who may also have systemic lupus erythematosus SLE. This Phase 2a clinical trial aims to determine if VENT-03 affects the activity and severity of CLE and to assess its safety and how the body processes the drug. Participants will be compared to a placebo group to better understand VENT-03s effects. Participants will take either VENT-03 tablets or a placebo for the first 4 weeks. After this double-blind phase, all participants switch to taking VENT-03 for an additional 8 weeks in an open-label extension. The study uses a randomized, double-blind design with monthly clinic visits for checkups and tests throughout the treatment periods. During the study, participants will visit the clinic once a month for assessments including physical exams and tests to monitor the drugs effects and safety. Researchers will evaluate changes in interferon gene signature in the skin, CLE disease severity, skin biopsy markers, and record any treatment-emergent adverse events. Blood samples will be collected to study the drugs concentration over time. The total treatment duration is 12 weeks with ongoing safety and efficacy monitoring.

Researchers are studying budoprutug, an investigational humanized antibody that targets CD19 cells, in adults aged 18 to 65 with active and seropositive systemic lupus erythematosus SLE who have not responded adequately to standard treatments. This Phase 1b open-label study focuses on assessing the safety and tolerability of budoprutug, as well as its behavior in the body and early signs of effectiveness. Participants will receive a single intravenous infusion of budoprutug at one of several ascending dose levels. The study will monitor how the drug affects B cell counts and antibody levels in the blood over time following the infusion. Multiple dose groups will be evaluated to understand safety and the drugs movement and action in the body. Throughout the study, participants will be closely observed for treatment-emergent adverse events and changes in vital signs and laboratory tests up to 24 weeks after dosing. Researchers will also measure budoprutugs concentration in the blood and immune responses, including the presence of anti-drug antibodies. The total monitoring period helps ensure comprehensive safety and pharmacological data collection.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effects of disitamab vedotin for treating adults with advanced breast cancer that is difficult to treat and has spread in the body.

This open-label, non-randomized study is sponsored by Pfizer and includes multiple groups based on HER2 and hormone receptor status. All participants will receive disitamab vedotin as an intravenous infusion every two weeks at the study clinic. The treatment continues until either the participant or doctor decides to stop, which may be due to cancer progression, side effects, or personal choice. After stopping treatment, participants will have follow-up visits about every six weeks, followed by phone calls every twelve weeks to monitor their health. During the study, participants will attend visits every two weeks for treatment and assessments. Researchers will evaluate tumor response, duration of response, disease control, progression-free survival, overall survival, and drug levels in the blood. Safety will be monitored for up to two years, and participants can expect regular checkups and tests throughout the study period, which may last up to three years.

Researchers are evaluating elacestrant compared to standard endocrine therapies in adults with node-positive, Estrogen Receptor-positive ER, HER2-negative early breast cancer who are at high risk of cancer returning. The study focuses on those who have had prior endocrine therapy and aims to measure how well elacestrant may prevent invasive breast cancer recurrence over five years. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either 345 mg of elacestrant daily for five years or continue their prior standard endocrine therapy, which may include an aromatase inhibitor anastrozole, letrozole, or exemestane or tamoxifen. The trial is open-label, meaning both participants and researchers know which treatment is given. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor cancer recurrence, survival, side effects, and quality of life. Evaluations include questionnaires on health status and physical functioning at baseline, six months, and annually for up to five years. Safety is tracked through adverse event reporting up to five years plus 28 days. The total participation duration can last up to five years with ongoing monitoring and data collection.

Researchers are investigating the effects of enpatoran in adults with active cutaneous lupus erythematosus, with or without systemic lupus erythematosus SLE. This global, multicenter Phase 3 study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of enpatoran over a 24-week treatment period, focusing on skin manifestations of lupus. The study is designed as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to assess how well enpatoran works alongside standard care in this population.
