Clinical trials

This study is the first time the new medicine CPV-104 is being tested in people. CPV-104 is designed to regulate the complement system, which can be overactive in diseases such as C3 glomerulopathy (C3G), an ultra-rare kidney disorder. The study includes healthy adults and adult patients with C3G to assess safety, tolerability, how the body processes the medicine, and whether the immune system reacts to it. The study is divided in two part; in Part 1 (SAD), healthy volunteers receive one IV dose of CPV-104 or a placebo while in Part 2 (MAD) patients with C3G receive four weekly IV doses of CPV-104 (no placebo). Participants will have close monitoring, including side-effect checks, blood and urine tests, ECGs, vital signs, and blood samples to measure drug levels and antibodies. For those with C3G, researchers will also observe kidney function, although the main goal is safety, not testing effectiveness. A Safety Review Committee will regularly review results to ensure it is safe to continue to the next dose or study group.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of LY4268989 when compared to placebo in adult participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). The study drug will be administered orally. The study will last up to approximately 108 weeks, excluding screening.

This study evaluates the effect of ROC-101 in adults with either Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) or Pulmonary Hypertension Associated with Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD-PH). Each eligible participant will receive standard of care (SOC) plus ROC-101 for a 24-week treatment period, followed by a long-term extension period of the study through the end of the program or marketing approval/authorization.

This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 3 active dose regimens of MORF-057 in adult study participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD).

This study is researching an experimental drug called REGN7508 (called "study drug"). The study is focused on adults undergoing elective, unilateral (one side) total knee replacement surgery. The aim of the study is to see how effective the study drug is at preventing Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) and other related diseases after total knee replacement surgery. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from taking the study drug * How much study drug is in the blood at different times * Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the study drug less effective or could lead to side effects)

The purpose of this Phase 3 study is to demonstrate the efficacy of claseprubart (DNTH103) as compared to placebo in participants with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).

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.

Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a serious and life-threatening condition where a protein called transthyretin (TTR) misfolds and builds up as amyloid fibrils in the heart muscle. This buildup causes the heart to become stiff, leading to restrictive cardiomyopathy and progressive heart failure. There are two forms of ATTR-CM: a hereditary or 'variant' form (vATTR-CM) caused by a gene mutation, and a 'wild-type' form (wtATTR-CM) which is associated with aging. Because its symptoms can be similar to other heart conditions, ATTR-CM is often diagnosed late. However, recent advances in medical imaging are helping doctors to identify the disease earlier. Acoramidis is a new medication designed to treat ATTR-CM. It works by stabilizing the TTR protein, preventing it from misfolding and forming the harmful amyloid deposits. Acoramidis has been shown to be effective and safe in a major clinical trial (the ATTRibute-CM study), which led to its approval for use in both the United States and Europe. While clinical trials provide valuable information, data on how a new medicine performs in everyday clinical practice is also very important. This type of information is called real-world evidence. Currently, there is limited real-world information about the use of acoramidis. This study, called ACO-REAL, is an observational study, which means researchers will observe patients who are receiving acoramidis as part of their normal clinical care, without introducing any experimental interventions. The study will take place in approximately 20 European countries and aims to enroll up to 2,000 adults who have been diagnosed with either wild-type or variant ATTR-CM and are starting treatment with acoramidis. This includes patients who have not been treated for ATTR-CM before, as well as those who have been treated with other therapies. The main goals of the study are to understand the characteristics of patients being treated with acoramidis and to document how the treatment is used in routine medical practice. The study will also collect information on the safety of acoramidis. Furthermore, researchers will assess how the treatment affects patients' heart function, their functional capacity (such as their ability to walk), their overall health status, and their quality of life. The study will also track how often patients need to use healthcare resources like hospitals or emergency rooms. This information will help to improve the understanding and management of ATTR-CM in a real-world setting, ultimately aiming to optimize care for patients with this progressive disease.

The objective of this study is to assess the potential for GB-0895 to improve the health of adolescents and adults with severe asthma that is uncontrolled by inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and conventional asthma controllers. Additional information is available at www.SOLAIRIA.com.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of opevesostat plus daily corticosteroids compared to alternative abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide in participants with Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) previously treated with one next-generation hormonal agent (NHA). The primary study hypothesis is that opevesostat is superior to alternative abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide with respect to overall survival (OS), in androgen receptor ligand binding domain (AR LBD) mutation positive and negative participants.

The Canadian CABG or PCI in Patients With Ischemic Cardiomyopathy (STICH3C) trial is a prospective, unblinded, international multi-center randomized trial of 754 subjects enrolled in approximately 45 centers comparing revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) vs. coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with multivessel/left main (LM) coronary artery disease (CAD) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The primary objective is to determine whether CABG compared to PCI is associated with a reduction in all-cause death, stroke, spontaneous myocardial infarction (MI), urgent repeat revascularization (RR), or heart failure (HF) readmission over a median follow-up of 5 years in patients with multivessel/LM CAD and ischemic left ventricular dysfunction (iLVSD). Eligible patients are considered by the local Heart Team appropriate and amenable for non-emergent revascularization by both modes of revascularization. The secondary objectives are to describe the early risks of both procedures, and a comprehensive set of patient-reported outcomes longitudinally.

Depemokimab is being developed as a treatment for individuals with moderate to severe COPD. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of depemokimab compared as an add-on medicine in participants with uncontrolled moderate to severe COPD with type 2 inflammation.

The purpose of this protocol is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tulisokibart in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. Study 1's primary hypotheses are that at least 1 tulisokibart dose level is superior to placebo in the proportion of participants achieving clinical remission per Crohn's Disease Activity Index score (\<150, US/FDA) or per stool frequency and abdominal pain score (EU/EMA) and in the proportion of participants achieving endoscopic response at Week 52 (US/FDA and EU/EMA), and that at least 1 tulisokibart dose level is superior to placebo in the proportion of participants achieving clinical remission per Crohn's Disease Activity Index score (\<150, US/FDA) or per stool frequency and abdominal pain score (EU/EMA) and in the proportion of participants achieving endoscopic response at Week 12 (US/FDA and EU/EMA). Study 2's primary hypothesis is that at least 1 tulisokibart dose level is superior to placebo in the proportion of participants achieving clinical remission per Crohn's Disease Activity Index score (\<150, US/FDA) or stool frequency and abdominal pain score (EU/EMA) and in the proportion of participants achieving endoscopic response at Week 12 (US/FDA and EU/EMA).

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.

This study is open to adults and adolescents aged 12 to under 18 with bronchiectasis. People can participate in this study if they produce sputum and have had flare-ups (also called exacerbations). The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1291583 helps people with bronchiectasis. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group takes BI 1291583 tablets and the other group takes placebo tablets. A placebo tablet looks like the BI 1291583 tablet but does not contain any medicine. Participants take 1 tablet once a day for up to 1 year and 6 months. Participants are in the study for up to 1 year and 8 months. During this time, participants visit the study site up to 10 times and get about 13 phone calls from the site staff. Participants regularly complete a diary on a smartphone about their bronchiectasis symptoms and study doctors regularly check for any changes. The study doctors document when participants experience flare-ups. The number of flare-ups is compared between the participants who receive BI 1291583 and those who receive the placebo. The study doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

This study is open to adults with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. People can join the study if they have these conditions and do not have a history of heart failure. The purpose of this study is to find out if a medicine called vicadrostat, when taken with empagliflozin, helps reduce cardiovascular risk in people with these conditions. The study will compare this combination to a placebo version of vicadrostat with empagliflozin. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group takes vicadrostat and empagliflozin tablets, and the other group takes placebo tablets with empagliflozin. Placebo tablets look like vicadrostat tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants take a tablet once per day for 2 and a half years and up to 4 years and 3 months. All participants also continue their medication for type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. Participants have an equal chance of receiving the study medicine or placebo. Participants are in the study for up to 4 years and 3 months. During this time, they visit the study site regularly. During these visits, doctors collect information about participants' health and take blood samples. The doctors document when participants experience cardiovascular events. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

The aim of this trial is to demonstrate similarity in efficacy between ABP 938 8 mg and aflibercept (US) 8 mg by evaluating the change in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in participants with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD)

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.

A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Panzyga for Prevention of Major Infection in Patients with Hypogammaglobulinemia and Autoimmune or Rheumatic Conditions Receiving Treatment with B-cell Depletion Therapy

This study is researching an experimental drug called REGN13335. The study is focused on participants with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). The aim of the study is to see how safe and effective REGN13335 is in participants with PAH who are taking other PAH medicines. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from taking REGN13335 * How much REGN13335 is in the blood at different times * Whether the body makes antibodies against REGN13335 (which could make REGN13335 less effective or could lead to side effects)

The main purpose of this study is to look at how efgartigimod affects thyroid function in adults with Graves' Disease (GD). The study will also check whether efgartigimod is safe and well tolerated. It will look at how efgartigimod is distributed and eliminated in the body, how it changes antibody levels, and how the immune system responds to it. The study consists of a part A double-blinded treatment period, a part B treatment/observation period and a part C open-label treatment/observation period. During the part A and part B treatment periods, participants will receive efgartigimod PH20 SC via Prefilled Syringe (PFS) or placebo. During the part C open-label treatment period, participants will receive efgartigimod PH20 SC PFS. Participation in the different parts of the study will depend on the participant's response to treatment. The total study duration for participants ranges from 63 to 135 weeks, depending on the response to treatment. More information can be found here: https://clinicaltrials.argenx.com/vitalithy

Crohn's disease (CD) is a long-lasting disease that causes severe inflammation (redness, swelling), in the digestive tract, most frequently affecting the bowels. It can cause many different symptoms including belly pain, diarrhea, tiredness, and weight loss. Treatments are available but do not work the same for all patients or may stop working over time. This study will evaluate the effectiveness and adverse events of targeted therapies (TaTs) for adult participants with moderate to severe CD. The medicines assessed in this study are risankizumab, trosunilimab, lutikizumab, and ABBV-8736. When participants join the study, they will be randomized into available study treatment groups. Adult participants with CD will be enrolled. Around 590 participants will be enrolled in the study at approximately 300 sites worldwide. Risankizumab and trosunilimab are given as an injection under the skin or as an infusion into the vein. Lutikizumab is given as an injection under the skin. ABBV-8736 is given as an infusion into the vein. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care treatment without participating in this study. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, endoscopies, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires and a daily diary.

The primary objectives are to compare progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in participants who receive sotorasib with platinum doublet chemotherapy versus participants who receive pembrolizumab with platinum doublet chemotherapy.

The ASCENTRA-UC study is a phase 2 study testing PALI-2108 in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. Doses of drug will be compared against a placebo to see how well it works, how safe it is, and how the body responds to it.

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.
