Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of brenipatide combined with standard of care compared to placebo plus standard of care in delaying the worsening of symptoms in adults with bipolar disorder. This Phase 2, randomized, double-blind study aims to understand if brenipatide can help delay relapse in bipolar disorder patients. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and focuses on adults aged 18 to 75 years diagnosed with bipolar disorder I or II. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of two doses of brenipatide or a placebo, each administered by subcutaneous injection alongside their standard of care medication. The trial is divided into three periods a screening period lasting about one month, a treatment period lasting at least six months, and a follow-up period lasting approximately two months. The total duration of participation may vary and can be shortened if symptoms worsen or if the participant withdraws. During the study, participants will self-inject the study medication, maintain study diaries, and complete questionnaires assessing their condition. Researchers will monitor time to relapse, changes in functional impairment, mood symptoms using specific rating scales, quality of life, patient global impressions, body weight, and pharmacokinetics. Safety will be closely observed, including the presence of treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies. Participants are expected to attend regular visits throughout the treatment and follow-up periods.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of brenipatide alongside standard care compared to a placebo plus standard care in adult participants with major depressive disorder. This study aims to see if brenipatide can delay the return of major depressive symptoms. It is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind trial sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company. Participants receive brenipatide or placebo through subcutaneous injections combined with their regular treatment. The study includes three periods a screening period lasting about 1 month, a treatment period of at least 12 months, and a follow-up period of about 2 months. The study duration may be shortened if depressive symptoms worsen or if participants withdraw. During the trial, participants will attend regular visits where various assessments will be conducted, including depression rating scales, functional impairment scores, and quality of life questionnaires. Researchers will monitor body weight changes, anxiety levels, and blood samples to measure drug levels and immune responses. The primary outcome is the time until relapse of major depressive disorder symptoms. Safety and adherence to self-injection and study procedures will be closely followed throughout participation.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of atogepant, a medicine approved for preventing migraine in adults, in young participants aged 12 to 17 years who experience chronic migraine. The study aims to compare atogepant with a placebo, which looks like the medicine but contains no active drug. It focuses on monitoring side effects and changes in migraine frequency in this pediatric population. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either atogepant or placebo tablets once daily for 12 weeks in a double-blind design, meaning neither participants nor doctors know who receives which treatment. After the treatment period, participants will be followed for an additional 4 weeks to observe ongoing effects. The study plans to enroll about 420 adolescents across approximately 70 sites worldwide. During the study, participants will attend regular clinic visits where researchers will assess treatment effects through daily diaries, medical exams, blood tests, side effect monitoring, and questionnaires. The main outcomes include the number of participants experiencing adverse events and changes in the average monthly number of migraine days. Secondary measures cover headache days, medication use, quality of life, and migraine-related disability. Total participation lasts about 16 weeks.

Researchers are evaluating the study drug JNJ-42847922, also called seltorexant, in adults and older adults with major depressive disorder MDD, a mood disorder causing lasting sadness and loss of interest. The study aims to compare seltorexant with a placebo in improving depressive symptoms during a double-blind treatment phase and to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of seltorexant in an open-label phase. Participants will receive either seltorexant or a matching placebo tablet once daily for 42 days during the double-blind phase. Those who qualify for the open-label phase will then take seltorexant daily for up to six months. The treatments are oral tablets, and the study includes two main periods the initial 42-day double-blind phase and the subsequent long-term open-label phase. During the study, participants will have regular assessments including physical exams, vital signs, ECGs, and questionnaires on depression, sleep disturbance, suicidality, withdrawal symptoms, sexual functioning, body measurements, and laboratory tests. Researchers will measure changes in depression scores and monitor adverse events and safety indicators throughout both phases. The total participation can last up to about seven months including both treatment periods.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of atogepant, a medication approved for adults with migraine, in children and teens aged 6 to 17 who have a history of episodic migraine. This Phase 3 study addresses the limited approved treatments available for pediatric migraine sufferers and aims to better understand atogepants impact on this younger population. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of six groups based on age and dosage. Children aged 6 to 11 will participate in a pharmacokinetic substudy to determine the appropriate dose before receiving either placebo, low-dose, or high-dose atogepant tablets once daily for 12 weeks. Teens aged 12 to 17 will be randomized to receive placebo, low-dose, or high-dose atogepant tablets daily for 12 weeks. After this period, participants may have a follow-up visit 4 weeks after their last dose or join an extension study to continue atogepant treatment for an additional 52 weeks. During the study, participants will attend regular hospital or clinic visits for medical evaluations, blood tests, side effect monitoring, and questionnaires. Researchers will measure changes in the number of migraine and headache days, medication use, quality of life, and migraine-related disability. Safety will be monitored through adverse event reporting up to 16 weeks. The total study duration includes the 12-week treatment period with possible extension and follow-up assessments.

Researchers are evaluating the effect and safety of orforglipron taken once daily in adults with Fontaine Stage II peripheral arterial disease PAD who experience symptoms such as intermittent claudication. This phase 3 trial aims to understand how the drug affects walking ability and symptom relief over a period of about 58 weeks. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and involves participants with confirmed PAD and reduced ankle brachial index ABI. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either orforglipron or a placebo in a double-blind design. Participants will take the study drug or placebo orally once daily. The study includes two groups one receiving orforglipron, and the other receiving a placebo. The treatment period lasts for approximately 52 weeks, during which participants will be monitored closely. This design allows comparison of the drugs effects against placebo on walking distance, symptoms, and quality of life measures. During the study, participants will undergo assessments including measuring their maximum walking distance, pain-free walking distance, and performance in a six-minute walk test at baseline and after 52 weeks. Questionnaires evaluating vascular quality of life and blood tests measuring inflammatory markers and blood pressure will also be collected. Safety and symptom relief will be monitored throughout the nearly one-year participation, helping to determine the drugs impact on PAD symptoms and overall vascular health.

Researchers are conducting an international, multicenter observational study to better understand subpopulations of patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder ASD. The study aims to identify sufficient biological and clinical markers that can help distinguish groups of patients who may respond best to specific medications. This research is sponsored by Stalicla SA and focuses on participants aged 12 to 65 years with a prior ASD diagnosis. This study does not involve any specific treatment but collects detailed clinical and molecular data from participants. Participants provide information through their health records and input from parents or reliable caregivers. The study characterizes ASD subpopulations based on clinical and molecular markers gathered at the start of the study. Participants will be involved in providing health history and molecular data on day 0 of the study. Researchers will analyze this information to define ASD subgroups. There are no interventional treatments, and safety monitoring involves excluding participants with recent fever or medical conditions that might interfere with study completion. The study runs until May 2027, allowing comprehensive data collection and analysis over time.
