Researchers are investigating new treatment options for breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive HR and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative HER2-, specifically for cases that are unresectable locally advanced or metastatic. This type of breast cancer involves cancer cells that depend on hormones like estrogen or progesterone and have low HER2 protein levels. The study focuses on comparing the effects of patritumab deruxtecan against chemotherapy or trastuzumab deruxtecan in patients whose cancer has progressed despite prior treatments. Participants receive either patritumab deruxtecan through intravenous infusions every three weeks for about 13 months or a treatment chosen by their physician, which may include various chemotherapy drugs or trastuzumab deruxtecan, administered according to specific schedules for up to 13 months. The study is randomized and open-label, meaning participants are randomly assigned to one of the treatment groups, and both the patients and researchers know which treatment is given. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular assessments to monitor cancer progression and overall survival for up to approximately 85 months. Researchers evaluate tumor response, duration of response, and changes in quality of life using standardized questionnaires. Safety is carefully monitored by recording adverse events and treatment discontinuations. The goal is to understand if patritumab deruxtecan can improve outcomes compared to current treatment options.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for high-risk, early-stage breast cancer, specifically targeting two types triple-negative breast cancer TNBC and hormone receptor-low positiveHER2-negative breast cancer. These cancers are characterized by low or no HER2 protein and low hormone receptor presence. The study aims to evaluate if adding sacituzumab tirumotecan sac-TMT to pembrolizumab and chemotherapy can better reduce cancer cells in tumors and lymph nodes and improve the length of time patients live without cancer progression compared to pembrolizumab with chemotherapy alone. Participants in this trial receive one of two treatment plans. One group gets sacituzumab tirumotecan intravenously every two weeks plus pembrolizumab every three weeks for 12 weeks, followed by pembrolizumab with carboplatin and paclitaxel for another 12 weeks. After 3 to 6 weeks, surgery and optional radiation therapy take place, followed by pembrolizumab for about 28 weeks. Participants with remaining disease may receive additional treatments chosen by their doctors, including olaparib, capecitabine, doxorubicin, epirubicin, or cyclophosphamide. The other group receives chemotherapy drugs carboplatin and paclitaxel with pembrolizumab initially, then pembrolizumab with cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin or epirubicin, followed by surgery, optional radiation, and pembrolizumab for about 28 weeks, with similar additional options for residual disease. During the study, participants undergo core needle biopsies, receive intravenous infusions of study drugs, and have surgery and possible radiation therapy. Researchers assess outcomes such as the percentage of participants with no detectable cancer cells at surgery pathological complete response, event-free survival up to about 92 months, and overall survival up to nearly 10 years. Quality of life and side effects are monitored through questionnaires and adverse event tracking. The study lasts several years, with various assessments throughout treatment and follow-up periods to gather comprehensive data on treatment effects and safety.

Researchers are investigating new treatments for locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer UC, a type of bladder cancer that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery or radiation. This trial evaluates whether sacituzumab tirumotecan sac-TMT, an experimental medicine, can help people with UC who have already been treated with specific therapies live longer compared to those who receive certain non-platinum chemotherapy options. The study is a Phase 3 randomized trial comparing sac-TMT with chemotherapy drugs selected by the investigator. Participants are assigned to one of two groups one receives sacituzumab tirumotecan at a dose of 4 mgkg every two weeks by intravenous infusion until the disease worsens or side effects become unacceptable. The other group receives one of three chemotherapy drugspaclitaxel, docetaxel, or vinflunineby intravenous infusion every three weeks, also until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Rescue medications may be given as needed to manage side effects according to approved guidelines. During the study, participants undergo assessments of overall survival up to about 40 months, along with other measures such as progression-free survival, response rates, duration of response, and quality of life evaluations using questionnaires. Safety is monitored by recording adverse events and treatment discontinuations. The total study participation may last several years, with regular evaluations to understand the effects and tolerability of the treatments.

Primary immune thrombocytopenia ITP is a condition where the immune system mistakenly destroys platelets, leading to a lower number of platelets and increased risk of bruising or bleeding. This Phase 3 study evaluates the long-term safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of mezagitamab in adults with chronic primary ITP. The study also investigates how the body processes mezagitamab over an extended period. Participants who completed previous mezagitamab studies TAK-079-3002 or TAK-079-1004 will be invited to join this continuation trial. Eligible participants may receive mezagitamab injections on demand, with treatment courses repeated as needed based on specific criteria and the investigators clinical judgment. The treatment is administered subcutaneously. During the study, participants will visit the clinic several times for assessments. Researchers will monitor safety by tracking treatment-emergent adverse events, and evaluate effectiveness through platelet response and remission rates. Measurements of drug levels and antibodies will also be taken. The study may last up to approximately 108 weeks, allowing detailed long-term follow-up.

This research aims to evaluate the safety and gene expression of delandistrogene moxeparvovec, a gene transfer therapy, in males with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy DMD.

The study measures dystrophin protein expression at 12 weeks post-infusion, as well as safety outcomes including acute liver injury and other adverse events up to 72 weeks for Cohort 8. Additional assessments monitor vector shedding, antibody levels, treatment-emergent adverse events, and steroid use for up to 156 weeks. During the study, participants undergo various assessments including laboratory tests, biomarker evaluations, and motor function testing. Researchers will collect samples such as urine, saliva, and stool to track vector shedding and measure immune responses. Safety monitoring includes tracking liver-related events and infections. The total study participation may last up to about 3 years, allowing for long-term follow-up of treatment effects and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab, both combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, as a first-line treatment for patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC whose tumors express PD-L1 at levels of 1% or higher. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, global study aims to compare these treatments to improve outcomes for this patient group. Participants will receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab, each given intravenously on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle, combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy either carboplatin or cisplatin also given on Day 1 of each cycle for up to four cycles. After chemotherapy cycles, patients continue with rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab monotherapy combined with pemetrexed maintenance. The study follows patients for up to approximately six years to monitor treatment effects and safety. During the study, participants undergo assessments including imaging scans to measure tumor size, blood tests to evaluate organ function, and questionnaires about symptoms and quality of life. Researchers monitor overall survival and progression-free survival as primary outcomes, alongside other measures such as response duration and physical functioning. Safety is closely observed throughout, with study visits scheduled regularly during treatment and follow-up periods, lasting up to six years in total.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of volrustomig compared to observation in participants with unresected locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma LA-HNSCC who have not progressed after receiving definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy cCRT. This phase III, randomized, open-label global study aims to assess whether volrustomig can improve outcomes in this patient population. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups those who receive volrustomig as sequential therapy, and those who undergo observation without additional treatment. The study compares these two approaches following prior curative concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The trial includes long-term follow-up to monitor patient outcomes. During the study, participants will be regularly assessed for progression-free survival, overall survival, physical functioning, and quality of life. Researchers will also monitor for the presence of anti-drug antibodies and adverse events related to volrustomig. Follow-up evaluations may continue for up to approximately eight years to fully understand the treatment impact and safety profile.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety and tolerability of JNJ-81201887, given as an intravitreal injection a shot into the eye, in participants with Geographic Atrophy GA secondary to Age-related Macular Degeneration AMD. This study is a long-term extension of parent clinical trials where participants had previously received either low or high doses of JNJ-81201887 or a sham procedure. The goal is to monitor participants over an extended period to understand any lasting treatment effects or side effects. Participants entering this long-term extension study will not receive additional doses of the study drug or any new intervention as part of this trial. They previously participated in parent studies where they were treated with either low dose or high dose JNJ-81201887 or sham procedure. Some participants who were in the sham group of the parent study may receive open-label treatment outside this study before entering this extension. This study focuses solely on follow-up without new treatment administration. Throughout the study, participants will undergo regular assessments to monitor ocular and systemic safety. These include tracking treatment-emergent adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, retinal imaging, and eye examinations over up to five years. This extended monitoring aims to evaluate the long-term safety profile of the previous treatments. Participants will be followed with periodic visits and evaluations, with the total study duration extending until 2030.

This research aims to observe patients with neovascular wet age-related macular degeneration nAMD who have previously been treated with SKG0106. The study is prospective, non-interventional, and multicenter, focusing on long-term follow-up to evaluate the safety and effects of SKG0106 over a period of up to 5 years after the initial treatment. It includes participants who completed earlier clinical studies involving this treatment. No new study drug or intervention will be administered during this follow-up. Instead, participants will be monitored for safety and efficacy outcomes related to their prior SKG0106 injections at different dose levels. The study groups correspond to participants exposed to three different SKG0106 dose levels, but all receive observational follow-up without additional treatment. Participants will undergo regular assessments to monitor ocular and systemic adverse events, including serious and special interest events, over the 5-year period. Evaluations will also include changes in best corrected visual acuity, macular central subfield thickness, and patient-reported visual function scores. This long-term monitoring aims to provide comprehensive safety and effectiveness data while participants continue their usual care.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety and tolerability of intermittent use of elismetrep in adults who experience acute migraine attacks. This Phase 3 study aims to monitor adverse events and overall safety during an average of one year of treatment. The study is conducted by Kallyope Inc. and compares two doses of elismetrep with a placebo using a randomized, triple-blind design. Participants will receive oral doses of elismetrep at either 10 mg or 20 mg, or a matching placebo. The study focuses on intermittent use during acute migraine episodes. Participants must have completed a prior acute treatment trial of elismetrep and meet compliance criteria. Treatment and assessments continue through the study duration, averaging one year. During the trial, participants will be monitored for any treatment-emergent adverse events, serious adverse events, and events leading to discontinuation. They will use a personal smartphone to complete eDiary check-ins and questionnaires, including assessments at 2 and 4 hours post-dose during migraine attacks. Safety and tolerability data will be collected throughout, with study participation lasting approximately one year.
