The primary purpose of this study is to assess the effect of Debio 4126 in the maintenance of the levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) ≤1x upper limit of normal (ULN) in the double-blind period (Period 1) in comparison to placebo at week 36.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in participants from previous Merck pembrolizumab-based parent studies who transition into this extension study. This study will consist of three phases: 1) First Course Phase, 2) Survival Follow-up Phase or 3) Second Course Phase. Each participant will transition to this extension study in one of the following three phases, depending on the study phase they were in at the completion of the parent study. Participants who were in the First Course Phase of study treatment with pembrolizumab or lenvatinib in their parent study will enter the First Course Phase of this study and complete up to 35 doses or more every 3 weeks (Q3W) or 17 doses or more every 6 weeks (Q6W) of study treatment with pembrolizumab or a pembrolizumab-based combination or lenvatinib according to arm assignment. Participants who were in the Follow-up Phase in the parent study (post-treatment or Survival Follow-up Phase) will enter the Survival Follow-up Phase of this study. Participants who were in the Second Course Phase in their parent study will enter Second Course Phase of this study and complete up to 17 doses Q3W or 8 doses Q6W of study treatment with pembrolizumab or a pembrolizumab-based combination according to arm assignment. Any participant originating from a parent trial where crossover to pembrolizumab was permitted upon disease progression may be eligible for 35 doses as Q3W or 17 doses Q6W of pembrolizumab (approximately 2 years), if they progress while on the control arm and pembrolizumab is approved for the indication in the country where the potential eligible crossover participant is being evaluated.

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat neovascular age-related macular degeneration (NVAMD). Available standard (usual) treatments for NVAMD, such as aflibercept, may not work for every person. Researchers want to learn if a trial medicine called tiespectus (also called MK-8748 or EYE201) can treat NVAMD. The goal of this trial is to learn if tiespectus works as well as aflibercept to treat NVAMD.

Nerandomilast is being developed to help people with systemic sclerosis by potentially improving symptoms and slowing disease progression. This study is open to adults who are at least 18 years old and have systemic sclerosis (SSc). People can join the study if they have limited or diffuse cutaneous SSc with disease onset within 7 years of the first non-Raynaud's symptom. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called nerandomilast helps people with systemic sclerosis. This study also aims to find out how well nerandomilast is tolerated in people with systemic sclerosis. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group takes nerandomilast tablets and the other group takes placebo tablets. Placebo tablets look like nerandomilast tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants take the tablets twice a day. Participants are in the study for 1 to about 4 years. During this time, they visit the study site regularly and get phone calls from the site staff. During study visits participants regularly have blood samples taken and doctors check changes in skin thickening, lung function, and internal organs, overall health and the safety and tolerability of study treatment in people with SSc. The results are compared between the groups to see whether the treatment works. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

PODOMOUNT-pFSGS This study is open to adults and adolescents with a kidney condition called focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 764198 helps people with FSGS. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. Every participant has an equal chance of being in each group. One group takes BI 764198 tablets, and the other group takes placebo tablets. Placebo tablets look like BI 764198 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants take a tablet once a day for up to 2 years. All participants also continue their standard medication for FSGS. Participants are in the study for up to 2 years. During this time, they visit the study site about every 3 months. Participants regularly collect urine samples. This is done to check their kidneys. The results are compared between the two groups to see whether the treatment works. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

This study is open to people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF). They can only take part if they have completed treatment in a previous study with a medicine called nerandomilast or BI 1015550. The goal of this study is to find out how well people with pulmonary fibrosis tolerate long- term treatment with nerandomilast. The study also tests whether nerandomilast improves lung function and prolongs the time until symptoms get worse, participants need to go to the hospital, or die. Every participant takes nerandomilast as tablets for up to 1 year and 10 months. The participants may also continue their regular treatment for pulmonary fibrosis during the study. Participants visit their doctors regularly. During these visits, the doctors collect information on any health problems of the participants. Participants also regularly do lung function tests.

This study is open to adults with advanced small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The purpose of this study is to find out if a study medicine called obrixtamig plus standard treatment (atezolizumab, carboplatin, and etoposide) improves survival when compared to standard treatment alone. Obrixtamig is an antibody-like molecule that may help the immune system fight cancer. Another purpose of the study is to test a medical device being developed to measure levels of the tumour marker DLL3. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group receives obrixtamig and standard treatment. The other group receives standard treatment without obrixtamig. All treatments are given as infusions into a vein. Participants are in the study for up to 3 years. During this time, they visit the study site regularly. Participants in the group receiving obrixtamig stay overnight at the study site following the first 2 obrixtamig treatments. At the visits, doctors check the size of the tumour(s). The results are compared between the 2 groups to see whether the treatment works. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

This study is open to adults with certain kidney conditions, including secondary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (sFSGS), treatment-resistant primary minimal change disease (TR-pMCD), Alport Syndrome (AS), and treatment-resistant primary membranous nephropathy (TR-pMN). Adolescents with treatment-resistant primary MCD can also participate in this study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 764198 helps people with these kidney conditions. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group takes BI 764198 tablets, and the other group takes placebo tablets. Placebo tablets look like BI 764198 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants take a tablet once a day for 20 weeks. All participants also continue their standard medication for their kidney condition during the study. Participants have twice the chance of being placed in the BI 764198 group than in the placebo group. Participants are in the study for about 7 months. During this time, they visit the study site 6 times and have 3 phone calls. Doctors regularly test the protein levels in participants' urine by collecting urine samples. They also check kidney function by taking blood samples. The results are compared between the two groups to see whether the treatment works. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

The primary objective of this study (LANDMARK) is to compare the safety and effectiveness of the Myval THV Series with Contemporary Valves (Sapien THV Series and Evolut THV Series) in patients with severe symptomatic native aortic valve stenosis. This study will be done in total 768 subjects (384:384, Myval THV Series vs. Contemporary Valves) The randomisation will be carried out with an allocation ratio of 1:1 between Myval THV Series vs. Contemporary Valves (Sapien THV Series and Evolut THV Series)

ALLTogether collects the experience of previously successful treatment of infants, children and young adults, with ALL from a number of well-renowned study groups into a new master protocol, which is both a comprehensive system for stratification and treatment of ALL in this age-group as well as the basis for several randomised and interventional trials included in the study-design.

The pilot study collects the experience of previously successful treatment of infants, children and young adults, with ALL from a number of well-renowned study groups into a new platform protocol, which is both a comprehensive system for stratification and treatment of ALL in this age-group as well as the basis for several randomised trials included in the study-design. The pilot study is implemented as a master protocol without study specific interventions, thus as an observational study. The pilot study is for countries/study-groups who intend to join ALLTogether1 (including experimental interventions). For these countries the pilot study is crucial to optimise diagnostics, registration systems, collaborations with vendors, logistics and data-checks before starting the main study. The study only includes "standard of care" treatment included in the master protocol.

This Phase II, open-label, multicenter study will evaluate teclistamab in combination with pomalidomide administered using an alternative dosing approach in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received 1-3 prior lines of therapy, including lenalidomide and anti-CD38 therapy. Teclistamab is a bispecific antibody that targets BCMA on myeloma cells and CD3 on T cells, bringing these cells into close proximity and activating T cells to induce targeted killing of BCMA-expressing myeloma cells. The study will assess the safety and efficacy of this treatment combination in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the joints and skin in people who have psoriasis (PsO). The main aim of the study is to know how well zasocitinib (TAK-279) works in participants with active PsA who have not previously been treated with biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. The participants will be treated with either zasocitinib, active comparator, or placebo. Participants will be in the study for up to 60 weeks.

The current standard of care treatment for adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) consists of chemotherapy and, if indicated, donor stem cell transplantation. Bleximenib blocks the interaction between a protein called menin and another protein called KMT2A in the leukemia cells. When this interaction is disrupted in AML with mutations in the NPM1 or KMT2A gene, bleximenib can cause leukemia cells to die. The main objective is to assess if treatment with bleximenib, when added to chemotherapy treatment will improve treatment outcome in adult participants with newly diagnosed AML who present with mutations in the NPM1 or KMT2A genes. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 clinical trial. All of the participants will receive standard chemotherapy treatment, combined with either bleximenib or a placebo. A placebo is a substance that looks like the study medicine but has no active ingredients (e.g., a sugar pill). In a double blind trial neither the participant nor the doctor know if placebo or active study drug is given. After the end of the protocol treatment there will be an observational follow-up of 4 years from the time of inclusion of the last patient. The results of the different treatment groups will be compared. 875 previously untreated patients with AML with a specific change in the DNA of the leukemia cells (a KMT2A rearrangement or a NPM1 mutation) will be included. Participants must be 18 years or older and considered eligible for intensive chemotherapy.

Treatment of patients with newly diagnosed AML who are not eligible for intensive chemotherapy has remained an area of high unmet medical need. The combination therapy with two medicines, azacitidine and venetoclax, is the usual plan of action. This has brought significant progress in the treatment, but it nevertheless is not curative and the disease does relapse over time. Revumenib blocks a specific molecule called menin in the cell nucleus. Some types of AML are reliant on menin working properly. These are leukemia cells with a change in the DNA, i.e. a mutation in the NPM1 or KMT2A gene. Revumenib can prevent the production of these types of leukemia cells by disrupting the production of this menin. The current study investigates whether adding revumenib to the combination therapy improves the prognosis for AML patients with a mutation in the NPM1 or KMT2A gene. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study where subjects will be treated until disease progression, or development of side effects or death. From the moment of inclusion of the last patient, there will be a 4-year observational follow-up study in order to register survival duration and follow-up visits. Approximately 448 previously untreated patients with a mutation in the NPM1 or KMT2A gene and with newly diagnosed AML, who are not eligible for intensive chemotherapy. Patients must be ≥18 years of age.
