Researchers are studying the effects of zelquistinel, a drug being evaluated for treating major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults aged 18 to 64 years. This Phase 2 clinical trial aims to find out if zelquistinel can reduce depression symptoms compared to a placebo and to assess its safety. Participants diagnosed with MDD and meeting specific severity criteria will be enrolled to better understand the drug's impact on depression scores and potential side effects. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either zelquistinel or a placebo tablet once a week for six weeks. The study is double-blind and placebo-controlled, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives the active drug. The trial includes up to 28 days of screening, a 42-day treatment period with weekly clinic visits, and a 4-week follow-up phase. During visits, depression severity is measured using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 (HDRS-17). Throughout the study, participants will attend weekly clinic visits for depression assessments and monitoring of adverse events. Researchers will track changes in depression scores from baseline to six weeks to evaluate effectiveness. Safety evaluations and follow-up assessments continue for four weeks after treatment. The total participation time may last up to 98 days, including screening, treatment, and follow-up.

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 investigating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of combining baxdrostat with dapagliflozin compared to dapagliflozin alone in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and high blood pressure. This Phase III, international, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to see if this combination reduces risks such as significant kidney function decline, kidney failure, heart failure events, or cardiovascular death. The study includes a 4-week run-in period where participants not previously treated with SGLT2 inhibitors receive dapagliflozin alone. After this, participants are randomly assigned to receive either baxdrostat plus dapagliflozin or placebo plus dapagliflozin in a double-blinded manner. Study visits occur frequently initially (at 2, 4, 8, 16, 34, and 52 weeks after randomization) and then approximately every 4 months. If participants stop the blinded treatment early, they continue dapagliflozin alone unless specific criteria require its discontinuation. Participants will undergo regular assessments including blood pressure monitoring and laboratory tests related to kidney function and cardiovascular health. The primary outcome measures the reduction in risk of major kidney and heart events over up to 37 months. Even if participants stop the study treatment, they will continue follow-up visits and data collection to ensure comprehensive safety and efficacy evaluation throughout the study duration.

Researchers are evaluating AZD0780, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor, in a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study to see if it can reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE-PLUS) in adults with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or those at high risk for a first ASCVD event. The study compares AZD0780 to a placebo and monitors participants from randomization until the primary analysis censoring date, followed by a final study closure visit. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either oral AZD0780 or an oral placebo once daily. The treatment period lasts until the primary analysis censoring date, after which a study closure visit will occur. The study is event-driven and designed to assess the time to the first major cardiovascular event during treatment. During the study, participants will be closely monitored with various assessments to evaluate cardiovascular outcomes and safety over approximately 54 months. Researchers will track the time to first event of any component of MACE-PLUS and collect data to assess the effect of AZD0780 compared to placebo. The study includes regular visits and evaluations to ensure participant safety and adherence to treatment.

Researchers are conducting a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of azetukalner in adults diagnosed with bipolar I or II disorder who are currently experiencing a depressive episode. The study focuses on participants aged 18 to 74 years who have bipolar depression, aiming to better understand treatment effects in this population. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either azetukalner at a dose of 20 mg or a placebo, both taken orally once daily with food, preferably with the evening meal. The treatment period lasts for 6 weeks, during which participants will be monitored closely. During the study, participants will undergo assessments including evaluation of depressive symptoms using the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) from baseline to Week 6. Researchers will monitor safety and treatment effects throughout the study. Total participation time covers the 6-week treatment period with ongoing monitoring of symptom changes and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and side effects of LY4005130 in adults with non-segmental vitiligo (NSV). This Phase 2 study compares LY4005130 with a placebo to understand how well the drug is tolerated. Participants have NSV affecting certain areas of their body and face, with the condition being either active or stable for at least 3 months. Participants will receive LY4005130 or a placebo through an intravenous (IV) infusion into a vein in the arm. The treatment phase lasts 24 weeks, during which the effects and safety of the drug will be monitored. The entire study, including screening, will take about 48 weeks. Throughout the study, participants will undergo blood tests to assess how their body processes the drug and how the drug affects their body. Researchers will measure the percentage of participants achieving significant improvement in facial vitiligo after 24 weeks. Safety and side effects will be followed carefully during treatment and the study period.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of tezepelumab in adults aged 40 to 80 years with moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). These participants must have a history of COPD for at least one year and have experienced multiple COPD exacerbations despite using inhaled maintenance therapy. This Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study focuses on those who have had at least two moderate or one severe exacerbation in the prior year while on inhaled triple or dual therapy. Participants will receive monthly subcutaneous injections of either one of two doses of tezepelumab or a placebo. Treatment will last for a minimum of 52 weeks and up to 76 weeks. After the treatment period, there will be a 12-week off-treatment safety follow-up to monitor any lasting effects or safety concerns. During the study, researchers will assess the participants' lung function and monitor the annual rate of moderate or severe COPD exacerbations. Participants will undergo screening to confirm eligibility based on lung function tests, eosinophil counts, and symptom scores. Safety will be closely monitored throughout the treatment and follow-up periods to evaluate adverse effects and overall participant health.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of multiple ascending doses of CNP-103 in adolescents and adults aged 12 to 35 years who have been recently diagnosed with Stage 3 Type 1 Diabetes within the past 6 months. This Phase 1b/2a first-in-human clinical trial aims to better understand how CNP-103 affects this population and to monitor any immune-related safety concerns. Participants will receive either CNP-103 or a placebo (0.9% sodium chloride injection) over a 90-day treatment period following a 28-day screening phase. The study includes multiple dose cohorts with weight-based eligibility criteria and requires participants to continue standard diabetes management including insulin therapy, nutrition plans, and exercise as appropriate. After treatment, participants will undergo post-dose evaluations lasting 275 days to monitor long-term safety and effects. Throughout the approximately 393-day study, participants will attend visits for assessments including safety and immune monitoring, pharmacodynamics evaluations, and efficacy measurements. Researchers will closely track adherence to medication and monitor laboratory tests, while safety and immune responses will be evaluated from Day 1 through Day 365. This comprehensive follow-up aims to gather detailed information on the participant's health and response to the investigational treatment over time.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of fusidic acid 1% eye drops compared to a placebo in treating bacterial conjunctivitis in both adults and children. This Phase 3 study aims to show that fusidic acid 1% is superior to placebo for this eye infection, while also establishing its safety when applied directly to the eye. Participants will receive either fusidic acid 1% or a placebo ophthalmic solution as part of a randomized, masked treatment. The study is conducted across multiple centers and includes careful monitoring of treatment effects. The main measure of success is clinical cure assessed on Day 4 after starting treatment. During the study, participants will be closely observed for signs of improvement and safety. They must avoid other ocular treatments, cosmetics, and contact lenses during participation. Researchers will confirm bacterial conjunctivitis through clinical signs and tests to exclude viral causes. The total duration and follow-up procedures are designed to thoroughly evaluate treatment outcomes and safety.

Researchers are evaluating maridebart cafraglutide, a drug given as an addition to standard care, to see if it reduces heart-related problems and deaths better than a placebo in people with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease who are overweight or obese. This phase 3 study focuses on cardiovascular events such as heart attacks, strokes, and deaths related to heart conditions, aiming to improve outcomes in this high-risk population. Participants will receive either maridebart cafraglutide or a placebo, both administered by injection under the skin. The study compares these two groups over a period of up to approximately 35 months, monitoring heart-related health events to assess the drug's impact. The placebo group will receive injections that look identical but contain no active drug, ensuring a double-blind study design. During the study, participants will be regularly evaluated for major cardiovascular events, including heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and death. Researchers will track the time until these events occur to measure the drug's effectiveness. Safety and health will be closely monitored throughout the study period, and participants will be followed for up to nearly three years to gather comprehensive data on cardiovascular outcomes and overall survival.
