Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of a combination inhaler containing fluticasone propionate and albuterol sulfate, delivered via a multidose dry powder inhaler with an electronic module, in participants aged 12 years and older with asthma. This Phase 3 trial aims to compare this combination treatment to fluticasone propionate alone, albuterol sulfate alone, or a placebo inhaler. The study also assesses different dosing schedules, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of these inhalers. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups receiving either the combination inhaler, fluticasone propionate inhaler, albuterol sulfate inhaler, or placebo, all with integrated electronic modules. Treatments are administered over a 4-week period with dosing four times daily. Pharmacokinetic assessments will be conducted after a single dose administration. The study is double-blind and placebo-controlled, with a parallel group design. Throughout the approximately 10-week study period, including screening and treatment, participants will undergo evaluations including lung function tests measuring forced expiratory volume in one second FEV1, asthma control questionnaires, and safety assessments. Researchers will monitor treatment-emergent adverse events and measure blood concentrations of the inhaled drugs. The study includes electronic monitoring of inhaler use and collects data at baseline, during treatment, and at week 4, with follow-up to assess efficacy and safety.

This research aims to evaluate the long-term safety and explore the efficacy of astegolimab in adults aged 40 to 90 years with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD. It focuses on participants who have completed a 52-week placebo-controlled treatment period in previous studies GB43311 or GB44332. The study is a phase 3, open-label extension to gather extended safety information on this drug in COPD patients. Participants from the parent studies who qualify will receive subcutaneous injections of astegolimab every two weeks throughout the study until it ends. This open-label extension allows all participants to receive the active drug without placebo comparison. The study continues treatment beyond the initial 52-week period to monitor long-term effects. During the study, participants will be monitored for adverse events up to 12 weeks after their last dose of astegolimab. Researchers will collect safety data to understand the incidence of any side effects. The study involves regular assessments and follow-ups to ensure participant well-being, with the total duration lasting until July 2034.

Researchers are studying the effects of camlipixant in adults with two types of irritable bowel syndrome IBS-D diarrhea-predominant and IBS-M mixed type. This Phase 2b trial aims to assess how well camlipixant works and how safe it is when compared to a placebo. The study includes two parts, where after the first part, some participants may be randomly assigned to receive a higher dose of camlipixant or stop taking the drug. Participants receive camlipixant at different dose levels or a placebo during the first part of the study. In the second part, all participants are randomized again to either continue with camlipixant or placebo. The treatment lasts up to 26 weeks, with doses adjusted in the second phase. The study uses a triple-blind design where neither participants nor researchers know who receives which treatment during the trial. During the study, participants will regularly report their abdominal pain intensity and stool form using specific scoring systems. Researchers will monitor safety by tracking adverse events and changes in vital signs and laboratory tests. The main outcome measures focus on changes in abdominal pain intensity over weeks 7 to 12. Participants will be assessed throughout the 26-week period to evaluate the treatments effects and safety.

Researchers are evaluating depemokimab as an additional treatment for adults with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD who have uncontrolled symptoms and type 2 inflammation. This Phase 3 study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of depemokimab in reducing COPD flare-ups compared to a placebo, with the goal of improving patient outcomes. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either depemokimab or a placebo alongside their standard COPD care. Depemokimab is given as a sterile liquid formulation, while the placebo is a sterile sodium chloride solution. The study is double-blind, meaning neither participants nor researchers know which treatment is given. Treatment and observation will continue for up to 104 weeks, allowing thorough assessment over two years. During the study, participants will undergo regular evaluations including lung function tests, symptom questionnaires like the COPD assessment test and St. Georges Respiratory Questionnaire, and monitoring of exacerbations requiring medical attention. Researchers will track the annual rate of moderate to severe COPD exacerbations as the primary outcome. Safety will be closely monitored throughout the trial, and participants health status will be reviewed periodically until study completion, which may last until August 2029.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of a subcutaneous drug called lunsekimig compared to placebo in adults aged 40 to 80 years who have inadequately controlled Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease COPD with an eosinophilic phenotype. This Phase 2b3 study aims to better understand how lunsekimig might affect COPD symptoms and exacerbations in this specific group. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups lunsekimig dose regimen A, lunsekimig dose regimen B, or a matching placebo. All treatments are given by subcutaneous injection during a 48-week intervention period. The study includes a screening period up to 4 weeks before treatment and an approximately 8-week follow-up after the intervention, for a total duration of up to 60 weeks. During the study, participants will have regular assessments including lung function tests and symptom questionnaires. Researchers will monitor the annual rate of moderate-to-severe COPD exacerbations as the primary outcome. Secondary measures include changes in lung function and quality of life scores, along with safety evaluations such as monitoring adverse events and laboratory tests. Blood samples will be collected to measure drug levels and antibody responses. Participants are observed throughout the treatment and follow-up periods to assess the effects and tolerability of lunsekimig.

This research aims to compare the effects of two inhalers, budesonidealbuterol metered-dose inhaler BDA MDI and albuterol sulfate metered-dose inhaler AS MDI, both used as needed, in adolescents aged 12 to 17 years with asthma. The study focuses on their impact on the annual rate of severe asthma attacks in participants who have a documented diagnosis of asthma and at least one severe exacerbation in the past year. This is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter Phase IIIb trial. Participants are randomly assigned in equal numbers to receive either BDA MDI 160180 micrograms 2 puffs of 8090 micrograms or AS MDI 180 micrograms 2 puffs of 90 micrograms as needed, alongside their usual maintenance asthma therapy. The study includes a 7 to 28-day screening period, a 52-week treatment period, and a safety follow-up lasting 7 to 14 days after treatment ends. Additionally, a pharmacokinetic sub-study involves a single dose of open-label BDA MDI administered at a separate visit after safety follow-up. During the study, participants will be monitored through regular assessments including lung function tests such as peak expiratory flow, evaluation of asthma exacerbations, and safety checks for adverse events. The main outcome measured is the annualized rate of severe asthma exacerbations over the 52-week treatment. Safety follow-up and pharmacokinetic evaluations will further assess drug concentrations and participant well-being. Overall participation lasts from screening through safety monitoring after treatment completion.
