Researchers are evaluating the safety and efficacy of the study drug LY4065967 for treating diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain DPNP. This trial is part of a larger chronic pain master protocol designed to accelerate the development of new treatments for chronic pain conditions. The study focuses on adults with DPNP related to type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either LY4065967 or a placebo, both taken orally. The study is double-blinded, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives the active drug or placebo. The treatment period lasts eight weeks, during which participants take the assigned study drug daily. Throughout the trial, participants will report their pain intensity and other symptoms at the start and after eight weeks using various scales, including the Numeric Rating Scale and Brief Pain Inventory. Researchers will also monitor sleep quality, emotional functioning, and the use of rescue medication. Safety and tolerability will be assessed, and the study concludes in July 2027.

Researchers are studying a trial medicine called MK-7262 to lower the level of Lipoproteina or Lpa in the blood. This trial also looks at another medicine named enlicitide, which lowers low-density lipoprotein cholesterol LDL-C. The study aims to find out if taking MK-7262 alone or together with enlicitide works better than a placebo in lowering Lpa and LDL-C levels. The safety and tolerability of these medicines are also being evaluated. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups. One group will take both MK-7262 and enlicitide placebos, the second will take enlicitide with an MK-7262 placebo, the third will take MK-7262 with an enlicitide placebo, and the fourth will take both MK-7262 and enlicitide. All treatments are oral tablets taken once daily for about 12 weeks. During the study, participants will have their Lpa and LDL-C levels measured at baseline and at weeks 8 and 12 to assess changes. Researchers will monitor any adverse events and whether participants stop treatment due to side effects, with safety observed for up to approximately 20 weeks. The study also tracks other related outcomes like percentages of participants reaching specific Lpa levels. Overall participation lasts up to about 12 weeks of treatment plus follow-up.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig compared to pembrolizumab monotherapy as the first-line treatment for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer mNSCLC whose tumors express high levels of PD-L1. This Phase III, randomized, double-blind, multicenter global study focuses on patients with mNSCLC without certain genetic mutations who are suitable for this treatment approach. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either rilvegostomig or pembrolizumab intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. The study compares these two drugs over repeated treatment cycles as first-line therapy. Both treatments are biological agents given by infusion, and the study is designed to monitor their effects over up to approximately five years. During the trial, participants will undergo regular assessments including physical exams, imaging scans such as CT or MRI to measure tumor lesions, and laboratory tests to evaluate organ function. Researchers will closely monitor overall survival, progression-free survival, treatment response, duration of response, and patient-reported outcomes on physical functioning and quality of life. Safety and immunogenicity of rilvegostomig will also be evaluated. Participants are followed and assessed for up to five years to gather comprehensive data on treatment effects and long-term outcomes.

Researchers are conducting a master protocol study to evaluate multiple pain treatments for people experiencing chronic pain conditions such as osteoarthritis of the knee, diabetic neuropathic pain, and chronic low back pain. This study aims to compare different pain interventions by using a flexible design where specific intervention appendices ISAs can begin independently as new treatments become available. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and is designed as a phase 2 randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Participants may receive one of several study drugs administered either intravenously or orally, including LY3016859 given through IV and LY3556050, LY3526318, and LY3857210 given orally. Each treatment group is compared to a matching placebo group. The study uses a parallel design where participants are assigned randomly to one of the intervention groups or placebo. The protocol includes disease-state addenda to define target populations and assessment scales for each pain condition. During the trial, participants undergo screening to confirm eligibility based on pain levels, history, and health status. They are monitored for outcomes such as the number of participants allocated to each intervention up to week 8. Researchers assess pain and other health measures while participants maintain consistent use of any ongoing non-drug pain therapies and discontinue other chronic pain medications except for rescue use. The study includes safety monitoring and will continue through April 2027, with results posted for each intervention.

Researchers are evaluating AZD0780, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor, in a phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled study. This trial focuses on patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ASCVD or those at high risk for a first ASCVD event. The study aims to assess how AZD0780 compares to placebo in reducing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, also known as MACE-PLUS, over the course of the trial. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either oral AZD0780 once daily or a matching placebo once daily. The study continues until a primary analysis censoring date, which may be up to approximately 54 months from randomization. After this, a study closure visit will be conducted as the final visit for each participant. During the study, participants will be regularly monitored for cardiovascular events including heart attacks, strokes, urgent coronary revascularizations, and other related outcomes. Researchers will track the time to first occurrence of these events as the primary outcome. Safety and other secondary outcomes like all-cause mortality will also be assessed. The total participation time can last up to about 54 months, with ongoing evaluations throughout this period.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of elecoglipron alone or combined with dapagliflozin compared with a placebo in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus T2DM who are not adequately controlled by lifestyle management alone or who are on other background glucose-lowering medications. This Phase III study aims to understand how these treatments impact blood sugar control and related health factors. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups elecoglipron at dose level 1 with dapagliflozin-matched placebo, elecoglipron at dose level 2 with dapagliflozin-matched placebo, a combination of elecoglipron at one of the studied doses with dapagliflozin, or matching placebos for both drugs. All treatments are taken orally once daily. The study uses a quadruple-blind design to compare these options over a treatment period lasting up to 40 weeks. During the study, participants will have their blood sugar levels measured by changes in Hemoglobin A1c HbA1c from baseline to week 40. Other assessments include body weight, blood pressure, and the time to start any additional rescue medication. Participants will attend regular visits for monitoring and safety evaluations throughout the study duration, which extends until the primary completion date in July 2028.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of elecoglipron compared with placebo in adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus T2DM who are already being treated with insulin and other glucose-lowering medications. This Phase III study focuses on adults with T2DM who have had the condition for at least 90 days and meet certain health criteria. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups elecoglipron at dose level 1, elecoglipron at dose level 2, or placebo. All treatments are taken orally once daily. The study treatment period lasts up to 40 weeks, during which participants continue their background insulin and glucose-lowering medications. During the study, participants will have regular assessments to monitor changes in blood sugar control, including Hemoglobin A1c HbA1c, body weight, blood pressure, and insulin dose. Researchers will also track safety, side effects, and tolerability. The main outcome is the change in HbA1c from baseline to Week 40. Overall, participation involves visits for monitoring and evaluations over approximately 40 weeks.

This research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of increasing doses of NNC0662-0419 for adults living with obesity. The study is a phase 2 randomized trial comparing different dosing approaches of NNC0662-0419 and semaglutide, both administered by subcutaneous injection. Participants include adults with obesity who are committed to losing at least 25% of their body weight. Participants are randomly assigned to one of four groups receiving either NNC0662-0419 or semaglutide, or their matching placebos. All treatments are given by subcutaneous injection in a dose-escalation manner, meaning doses increase over time. This allows researchers to compare the safety and response to these drugs and their placebos. Throughout the study, participants are monitored for gastrointestinal side effects from week 0 to week 39. Body weight and body mass index BMI changes are also measured from week 0 to week 32. Participants will attend regular visits for dosing, safety assessments, and evaluations of weight and related health measures. The trial is expected to last until July 2027.

Researchers are evaluating insulin icodec, a once-weekly insulin injection, compared to insulin glargine, a once-daily injection. This study focuses on adults with type 1 diabetes to see how well the weekly insulin controls blood sugar when combined with insulin aspart, which is taken 2 to 4 times daily. The trial aims to assess blood sugar control over about 8.5 months. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either insulin icodec once a week with insulin aspart daily or insulin glargine once a day with insulin aspart daily. Both insulins are given as subcutaneous injections. The study is designed as a parallel comparison to evaluate the effects of these insulin regimens on blood sugar control. During the study, participants will have regular assessments including blood tests to measure HbA1c and glucose levels, monitoring of hypoglycemic episodes, and tracking of insulin doses and body weight. The primary outcome is the change in HbA1c from baseline to week 26. Secondary outcomes include time spent in target glucose ranges and frequency of low blood sugar events. The study will last about 8.5 months with ongoing monitoring to evaluate treatment effects and safety.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term effects of aleniglipron, a drug taken orally, in adults with overweight or obesity who also have type 2 diabetes mellitus T2DM. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study designed to assess the drugs effectiveness, safety, and tolerability over an extended period. The study focuses on the management of weight and diabetes in this population. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either aleniglipron or a placebo, all administered orally. The treatment period lasts for 76 weeks, during which participants will take multiple doses of the assigned medication. The study includes three different aleniglipron arms and one placebo arm, all aiming to evaluate weight change and diabetes control over time. Throughout the study, participants will undergo assessments to measure changes in body weight, waist circumference, HbA1c levels, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. The primary outcome is the percent change in body weight from the start of the study to week 76. Secondary outcomes include the proportion of participants achieving various levels of weight loss and diabetes targets. The study also monitors safety and tolerability during the treatment period, which lasts approximately 76 weeks.
