Researchers are studying a medicine called enlicitide to reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in adults with high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia). This trial aims to find out if taking enlicitide together with rosuvastatin, a standard cholesterol-lowering drug, works better than a placebo in lowering LDL-C levels. The study is a Phase 3 trial that is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled to ensure accurate and unbiased results. Participants will receive oral tablets of enlicitide or placebo along with oral capsules of rosuvastatin or placebo. The study compares the effect of enlicitide plus rosuvastatin against placebo to evaluate their impact on LDL-C. The treatment period lasts 8 weeks, during which participants take their assigned medications as directed. During the study, researchers will measure the average percent change in LDL-C from the start of the trial to week 8. Participants will be monitored for safety and any side effects throughout the study. The total participation time includes screening, treatment, and follow-up assessments to evaluate the medicines' effects and safety in adults aged 18 to 64 with hyperlipidemia.

Researchers are evaluating tulisokibart as a potential treatment for radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA), a type of arthritis causing pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the spine and pelvis joints, visible on X-rays. This Phase 2b study aims to determine if different doses of tulisokibart improve symptoms better than a placebo, which looks like the study medicine but contains no active drug. The study has two main parts: a 16-week placebo-controlled period where participants receive either tulisokibart or placebo through subcutaneous injections, followed by a 124-week long-term extension divided into a 40-week main extension and an 84-week optional extension. This allows researchers to assess both the short-term and longer-term effects and safety of tulisokibart. Participants will be monitored for their response using the Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society (ASAS) 40 response at week 16 as the primary outcome. Throughout the study, researchers will evaluate disease activity and safety while tracking symptoms and any side effects. The total involvement spans up to 140 weeks, including both initial treatment and extension phases.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and tolerability of Efimosfermin Alfa in adults aged 18 to 75 years who have known or suspected metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) with fibrosis at stage F2 or F3. This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study focuses on participants with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and metabolic syndrome components, aiming to better understand treatment effects in this population. Participants will receive either Efimosfermin Alfa injection or a placebo, with the study designed as a three-arm trial. The treatment will be administered according to the study protocol, though specific dosing details are not provided. The study will monitor participants over a period extending to at least 52 weeks, comparing the safety and tolerability of Efimosfermin Alfa against placebo. During the study, participants will be closely observed through clinical assessments including monitoring for treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), laboratory tests to detect Grade 3 and Grade 4 abnormalities, and evaluation of any adverse events leading to discontinuation of treatment. These safety and tolerability measures will be recorded at Week 52, helping researchers assess the impact of Efimosfermin Alfa over time.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety and tolerability of dazodalibep in adults with Sjögren's Syndrome. This phase 3 open-label extension study focuses on participants who have previously received dazodalibep or placebo in earlier phase 3 trials and completed those studies through Week 48. Participants will receive dazodalibep intravenously during this long-term extension study. The first dose is administered around Week 48 (+28 days) following the prior phase 3 studies. The study monitors safety and tolerability over an extended period to assess treatment-emergent adverse events up to 152 weeks. During the study, participants will undergo regular evaluations to monitor their health and any side effects. Researchers will collect data on adverse events that emerge during treatment. The overall goal is to gather long-term safety information to better understand how participants tolerate dazodalibep when used over an extended time frame.

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.

This research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of efimosfermin alfa in improving liver fibrosis and resolving steatohepatitis in adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) confirmed by biopsy showing stage F2 or F3 fibrosis. The study compares efimosfermin alfa to a placebo and focuses on individuals with confirmed liver damage and metabolic syndrome features. Participants will receive either efimosfermin alfa or placebo, administered as a drug treatment. The study is designed as a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with three groups. Treatment effects will be assessed over 52 weeks, with a primary focus on liver fibrosis and steatohepatitis changes. The study includes long-term monitoring of liver-related clinical outcomes up to 48 months after randomization. During the study, participants will undergo liver biopsies confirmed by central pathology review, and researchers will monitor liver function and fibrosis improvement. Outcome measures include the proportion of participants showing fibrosis improvement without worsening steatohepatitis, resolution of steatohepatitis with stable fibrosis, and time to liver-related clinical events. Safety and efficacy will be closely evaluated throughout the treatment and follow-up periods.

This research focuses on pediatric participants aged 6 to 17 years with obesity or overweight conditions. Its aim is to establish a framework to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of drug treatments for managing chronic weight issues in this population. The study is part of a Phase 3 Master Protocol that includes multiple interventions and will report results when all intervention-specific arms finish. Participants may receive either Orforglipron, a drug given orally, or a placebo, also taken by mouth. Different intervention-specific arms may begin independently as new treatments become available for testing. The study sets clear entry criteria for newly enrolled participants across these intervention arms. During the study, researchers will monitor participants from baseline up to 72 weeks, focusing on the number of participants allocated to each intervention arm. They will also track safety and treatment effectiveness. Participation involves regular assessments of weight, health status, and any side effects, ensuring a thorough evaluation of the chronic weight management interventions over time.

Researchers are investigating whether ziltivekimab can treat people living with heart failure and inflammation. The study compares ziltivekimab, a new medicine not yet approved anywhere, to a placebo, an inactive substance that looks like the medicine but contains no active drug. Participants have an equal chance of receiving either treatment. The study is expected to last up to one year and four months and focuses on people with heart failure who also have systemic inflammation. Participants will receive either ziltivekimab or placebo by monthly injections under the skin. The doses are given once a month throughout the study period. The study lasts for 12 months of treatment following randomization, during which the effects of the medicine compared to placebo will be closely monitored. During the study, participants will undergo various assessments including a heart failure questionnaire called the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) to measure symptoms and physical function over the 12 months. Other evaluations may include walking tests and heart function tests. Safety and health will be monitored regularly to understand how participants respond to the treatments and to track any side effects or changes in heart failure symptoms.

Researchers are evaluating the safety, tolerability, and biomarker effects of VS-041 in adults aged 50 years and older who have Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF). This phase 1 trial focuses on participants diagnosed according to established criteria and classified as NYHA Functional Class II or III, with specific heart function and biomarker thresholds. The study aims to better understand how VS-041 works in this population by monitoring heart-related biomarkers and side effects over time. Participants will receive either a high dose or low dose of VS-041, or a matching placebo tablet, taken twice daily. The study treatment lasts for 28 days, during which researchers will track changes in specific blood biomarkers such as NordicPRO-C6, endotrophin, and NT-proBNP. These biomarkers help measure the heart condition and response to the treatment. The trial includes careful dosing and monitoring to assess safety and tolerability. During the study, participants will undergo regular assessments to check for any treatment-emergent adverse events and changes in biomarker levels from baseline up to day 28. The evaluations may include blood tests and clinical exams to monitor heart function and overall health. Participants are required to maintain stable doses of their usual heart failure medications and comply with trial procedures for the entire duration. The total participation period is focused on the 28-day treatment and observation window.
