Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of three different doses of MORF-057 in adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD). This Phase 2 study is randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and conducted at multiple centers. It aims to compare MORF-057 to placebo to see how well it works in reducing disease activity and symptoms in this patient population. Participants will first go through a 14-week induction period where they receive one of three doses of MORF-057 or a matching placebo, all given orally. After this, all participants will enter a 38-week maintenance phase where they receive open-label MORF-057. Those who complete these 52 weeks of treatment may continue in a 52-week long-term extension to further monitor treatment effects and safety. Throughout the study, participants will have evaluations to assess their response to treatment using endoscopic scoring at Week 14. Researchers will monitor safety, symptom changes, and disease activity over the full treatment and extension periods. Study visits will include assessments, questionnaires, and clinical monitoring to track participants' health and treatment adherence over time.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of HLX22 combined with trastuzumab and chemotherapy as the first treatment for patients with HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the gastric or gastroesophageal junction. This phase 2, double-blind, randomized, and multiregional study compares this combination against trastuzumab and chemotherapy with or without pembrolizumab. The study aims to measure how well the treatments work in controlling the disease and improving survival for up to five years. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives HLX22 at 15 mg/kg every three weeks along with trastuzumab, chemotherapy (XELOX regimen), and possibly a placebo for pembrolizumab. The other group receives a placebo for HLX22 plus trastuzumab, chemotherapy (XELOX), and possibly pembrolizumab every three weeks. Treatment continues until the disease worsens, unacceptable side effects occur, withdrawal of consent, or other protocol-specified reasons. Throughout the study, participants will undergo regular assessments including tumor scans reviewed by an independent committee to evaluate progression-free survival and overall survival over up to five years. Other evaluations include safety monitoring and organ function tests. The study tracks how long patients live without disease progression and overall survival, aiming to better understand the benefits and risks of HLX22 combined with current standard treatments.

Researchers are evaluating insulin icodec, a once-weekly insulin injection, compared to insulin glargine, a once-daily injection, in adults with type 1 diabetes. The study aims to see how well weekly insulin icodec controls blood sugar levels compared to daily insulin glargine when both are combined with insulin aspart. This phase 3 study will last about 26 weeks, or roughly 8.5 months. Participants will receive either insulin icodec or insulin glargine, both given as subcutaneous injections. All participants will also use insulin aspart as a subcutaneous injection. The study compares these two insulin regimens to assess their effects on blood sugar control over the 26-week period. During the study, researchers will monitor changes in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from the start of the study to week 26. Participants will follow the study protocol including self-measured plasma glucose profiles. Safety and efficacy will be evaluated throughout the treatment period to understand the impact of the insulin regimens on blood sugar control and participant health.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of camizestrant compared to standard endocrine therapy in patients with early breast cancer that is estrogen receptor positive (ER+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-). These patients have an intermediate or high risk of cancer recurrence and have already completed local treatments such as surgery and possibly chemotherapy, alongside at least 2 years and up to 5 years of standard adjuvant endocrine therapy. The study is a Phase III, open-label trial designed to assess outcomes over a long term. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either camizestrant, an oral selective estrogen receptor degrader, or one of several standard endocrine therapies including tamoxifen, anastrozole, letrozole, or exemestane, administered according to local approved guidelines. The treatment duration for both groups is planned to last 60 months. Eligible patients may have previously used CDK4/6 inhibitors, and the study will specifically include those with intermediate or high risk of recurrence as determined by clinical and biological markers. During the study, participants will be monitored for up to 10 years from the last patient's randomization to evaluate invasive breast cancer-free survival. Additional outcomes include invasive disease-free survival, distant relapse-free survival, overall survival, safety, and clinical outcome assessments. The study involves ongoing assessments of health status, treatment effects, and safety to determine the long-term benefits and risks of camizestrant compared to standard therapies.

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 investigating the effectiveness of dotinurad compared to allopurinol in lowering serum uric acid (sUA) levels in adults with hyperuricemia related to gout. This phase 3, randomized, double-blind trial focuses on adults aged 18 to 75 who have had gout for at least one year and experienced multiple gout flares in the past year. The study aims to assess the percentage of participants achieving an sUA level below 6.0 mg/dL at 24 weeks. Participants receive either dotinurad or allopurinol as oral over-encapsulated tablets. Allopurinol doses range from 200 mg/day for those with moderate kidney impairment to 600 mg/day, with participants maintaining a stable dose for at least three months before starting the study. The trial includes a 24-week treatment period where the effects of these medications on uric acid levels are monitored and compared. During the study, participants undergo regular assessments including serum uric acid measurements at screening and throughout the 24 weeks. Female participants of childbearing potential have pregnancy tests and must agree to contraception requirements. Researchers monitor safety, treatment adherence, and gout flare history to evaluate the treatments' efficacy and tolerability over the study period.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of dotinurad compared to allopurinol in lowering serum uric acid (sUA) levels at 24 weeks in adults with tophaceous gout. This condition involves the presence of measurable tophi, or deposits of uric acid crystals, in joints such as hands, wrists, feet, or ankles. The study is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, multicenter trial focused on adults aged 18 to 75 years who have had gout for at least one year. Participants receive either dotinurad or allopurinol in over-encapsulated tablet form, taken orally. The treatments are compared to see which better lowers sUA levels below 5.0 mg/dL after 24 weeks. The study includes a screening period before treatment begins, during which eligibility is confirmed, including measurements of tophi size and uric acid levels. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor serum uric acid levels and the size of tophi. Safety and side effects will also be monitored throughout the 24-week treatment period. The main outcome is the percentage of participants who achieve sUA levels less than 5.0 mg/dL at week 24, helping to understand the comparative efficacy and safety of the two medications.

Researchers are evaluating the pharmacokinetics (how the drug moves through the body), pharmacodynamics (how the drug affects the body), safety, tolerability, and immune response to efgartigimod PH20 SC in children aged 2 to less than 18 years with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). The main goal is to find the right dose of efgartigimod PH20 SC for pediatric patients by analyzing drug levels and immune markers. This open-label study includes participants with a confirmed diagnosis of gMG who have not responded well to certain treatments and are on stable therapy. Participants will receive subcutaneous injections of efgartigimod PH20 SC. The study lasts up to 14 weeks, during which participants are monitored closely for safety and drug effects. Following the study and a follow-up period, eligible participants may have the option to join an open-label extension study to continue receiving the treatment. Throughout the study, researchers will collect blood samples to measure drug concentrations and antibodies related to the disease. They will also assess total immunoglobulin levels to understand how the drug works in children. Safety and tolerability will be monitored carefully during and after treatment. Participants will have visits for assessments and monitoring up to 14 weeks in total.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and tolerability of the drug rozanolixizumab, given by subcutaneous injection, in children aged 2 to under 18 years who have moderate to severe generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG). This is an open-label, single-arm study designed to assess the drug's activity, safety, and how it is processed by the body in this pediatric population. Participants must have a confirmed diagnosis of gMG with specific antibodies and have experienced insufficient response or worsening symptoms on conventional treatments. Participants will receive rozanolixizumab as an injection under the skin. The study does not include a comparison group, and all enrolled children will be treated with this medication. Treatment will be monitored carefully throughout the study period, which can last up to 18 weeks. The study is conducted in phases 2 and 3, focusing on young patients with this condition. During the study, researchers will monitor participants for any serious side effects or treatment-emergent adverse events, including those that lead to stopping the medication or require special monitoring. Safety assessments will continue through the end of the study visit, which may last up to 18 weeks from baseline. The study involves close observation of participants' health status, antibody presence, and symptom changes to evaluate how well the medication is tolerated and its safety profile in children with generalized Myasthenia Gravis.

Researchers are evaluating the pharmacokinetic (PK) comparability between TAK-881 and HYQVIA, both given as subcutaneous (SC) infusions, for maintenance treatment of adults with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). This Phase 3 trial includes participants who have previously received intravenous or subcutaneous immunoglobulin G treatments and aims to compare these two therapies' behavior in the body. Participants must have a confirmed diagnosis of CIDP and have responded to IgG treatment before, consistent with established diagnostic criteria. The study consists of multiple phases: screening, a ramp-up phase if needed, a HYQVIA treatment phase, a TAK-881 treatment phase, and finally, an extension phase. Participants who previously received conventional subcutaneous or intravenous immunoglobulin will start with a HYQVIA ramp-up phase 1 to 2 weeks after their last dose. Those already on HYQVIA proceed straight to treatment. Participants receive SC infusions of HYQVIA for 20 weeks, then switch to TAK-881 for 24 weeks. During the extension phase, home infusions are preferred, with clinic visits spaced between 12 and 24 weeks. Throughout the study, participants visit the clinic every 3 or 4 weeks during the initial phases. Researchers will monitor immunoglobulin G levels through blood tests at specified intervals to assess drug exposure. Safety and treatment adherence are tracked, and participants complete disability assessments. The total duration includes these treatment phases and the extension, with careful follow-up to evaluate the therapies' pharmacokinetic profiles and participant well-being.
