Researchers are evaluating the safety and expression of delandistrogene moxeparvovec, a gene transfer therapy, in males with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). This open-label Phase 1 study includes participants across different cohorts based on ambulatory status and age. Enrollment for Cohorts 1 through 7 is complete, and Cohort 8 is currently enrolling new participants. Participants receive a single intravenous infusion of delandistrogene moxeparvovec. The study involves multiple cohorts differentiated by age and motor function abilities, including ambulatory and non-ambulatory participants. Some cohorts require stable glucocorticoid use, while others do not yet require steroid treatment. Cohort 8 participants must meet specific motor function scores and are monitored for specific safety concerns such as acute liver injury. Throughout the study, participants undergo assessments including measurement of dystrophin expression by Western blot at baseline and week 12. Safety monitoring includes tracking acute liver injury up to week 72 for Cohort 8. The total participation duration can be up to 156 weeks. The study evaluates changes in dystrophin protein levels as the primary outcome, along with safety and tolerability of the gene therapy over time.

The trial investigates the use of volrustomig in participants with unresected locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) who have not shown disease progression after receiving definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT). The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of volrustomig compared to observation in this patient population. Participants have tumors that express PD-L1 and the study is conducted as a Phase III, randomized, open-label, multi-center global trial. Participants are assigned to receive either volrustomig as sequential therapy following cCRT or to an observation group. The treatment period involves monitoring participants who have completed definitive cCRT but remain unresected and have no evidence of metastatic disease. The study focuses on participants with Stage III, IVA, or IVB LA-HNSCC according to AJCC criteria, who have not undergone tumor resection before cCRT and have not been treated with radiotherapy alone. During the study, participants are regularly evaluated for progression-free survival, with follow-up lasting up to approximately 8 years to assess long-term outcomes. Researchers will monitor safety and disease progression closely. The overall participation duration includes screening, treatment or observation, and extended follow-up to capture both efficacy and safety data over time.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of Datopotamab Deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) with or without durvalumab compared to the investigator's choice chemotherapy combined with pembrolizumab in patients who have PD-L1 positive locally recurrent inoperable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). This Phase III, randomized, open-label, international study aims to see if adding durvalumab to Dato-DXd can help patients live longer without their cancer worsening or simply live longer compared to standard chemotherapy with pembrolizumab. The study also examines how the treatments and cancer impact patients' quality of life. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: Dato-DXd plus durvalumab, Dato-DXd alone, or investigator's choice chemotherapy (paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, or gemcitabine plus carboplatin) combined with pembrolizumab. All treatments are given by intravenous infusion. The study design includes stratification based on geographic location, disease-free interval history, and prior PD-1/PD-L1 treatment for early-stage TNBC. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor their disease status using RECIST 1.1 criteria and undergo imaging reviewed by blinded independent central review. Researchers will track progression-free survival, quality of life, safety, and other health measures over an anticipated period of up to 33 months. Participants must provide tumor samples for PD-L1 testing, and safety monitoring will continue throughout the study.

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 ART0380, an oral drug that blocks ATR kinase, in people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors including ovarian, peritoneal, fallopian tube, endometrial, colorectal, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and acinar cell carcinoma. The study aims to find the safe dose of ART0380 alone and combined with chemotherapy drugs gemcitabine or irinotecan, understand side effects, and assess its effectiveness. This open-label Phase I/IIa trial includes participants whose cancers have DNA repair defects or lack ATM protein and some specific cancer types. Participants receive ART0380 by mouth in 21-day cycles either intermittently (several days on then off) or continuously daily. Gemcitabine is given on days 1 and 8, and irinotecan is given by 90-minute infusion on the same days in combination groups. The study has different parts to find dosing levels and to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and initial effectiveness of ART0380 alone or combined with the chemotherapy drugs. During the study, participants undergo regular evaluations including scans every 6 to 9 weeks to monitor tumor response, and safety assessments for side effects throughout treatment and up to 30 days after the last dose. Researchers track adverse events and measure progression-free survival and tumor response rates over up to 2 years. Participants are expected to be available and willing to follow study procedures and assessments during the trial period.

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.

This research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of iza-bren, a bi-specific antibody-drug conjugate targeting EGFR and HER3 with a topoisomerase inhibitor, compared to the treatment of physician's choice (paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, carboplatin plus gemcitabine, or capecitabine). The study focuses on patients with previously untreated, locally advanced, recurrent inoperable, or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) or estrogen receptor (ER)-low, HER2-negative breast cancer who are not eligible for anti-PD(L)1 or endocrine therapies. The trial is conducted in two phases, phase 2 and phase 3, to thoroughly assess these treatments.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of KarXT in preventing relapse of psychosis symptoms in people aged 55 to 90 years who have psychosis associated with Alzheimer's Disease. This Phase 3 study is randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and conducted at multiple outpatient centers. The main goal is to compare relapse prevention between KarXT treatment and placebo over 38 weeks, while also assessing time to discontinuation, safety, and tolerability. Participants receive either KarXT in varying doses (ranging from 20 mg/2 mg to 66.7 mg/6.67 mg taken three times daily) or placebo capsules. The study lasts 38 weeks, during which participants remain on assigned treatment in an outpatient setting. The randomized, double-blind design ensures neither participants nor researchers know who receives KarXT or placebo during the study. Throughout the study, participants will visit the clinic regularly for assessments of their psychosis symptoms, safety checks, and overall health. Researchers will track the time to relapse of psychosis symptoms as the primary outcome. They will also monitor safety and tolerability through clinical examinations and other evaluations. The total duration of participation is 38 weeks from randomization to the end of the study period.

This phase 2 study aims to establish proof of concept with the age-appropriate dose of ARGX-119 in ambulant pediatric patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Despite available treatments, there remains an unmet medical need for patients with SMA. Neuromuscular junction (NMJ) dysfunction contributes to the pathophysiology of SMA, including muscle weakness and fatigability. Activation of muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) by ARGX-119 may stabilize and improve NMJ function in patients with SMA, reducing muscle weakness and fatigability, and improving quality of life.

This research aims to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), efficacy, safety, and tolerability of apitegromab in children younger than 2 years old who have 5q autosomal recessive spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). These children must show delayed motor milestones for their age due to SMA or have a low score on the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Infant Test of Neuromuscular Disorders (CHOP-INTEND). The study is a double-blind Phase 2 trial focusing on this young population with neuromuscular challenges related to SMA. Apitegromab, a fully human anti-proMyostatin monoclonal antibody, will be given every 4 weeks through an intravenous infusion. Participants will also be receiving approved standard treatments for SMA targeting the SMN1 or SMN2 genes, such as nusinersen (administered intrathecally) or risdiplam (given orally). The treatment period and dosing schedule are designed to assess how apitegromab works alongside these existing therapies. Participants will be involved in a 52-week evaluation period where researchers will closely monitor the drug's behavior in the body (PK and PD) and measure changes in motor function over 48 weeks. The study includes assessments of safety and how well participants tolerate the treatment. Motor function outcomes will be regularly evaluated to understand the impact of apitegromab, with ongoing monitoring and follow-up throughout the year-long study.
