Clinical trials

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). ES-SCLC is a type of lung cancer that has spread throughout the lung, to the other lung, or to other parts of the body. A standard (usual) treatment for ES-SCLC uses both chemotherapy and immunotherapy. * Chemotherapy is a treatment that works to destroy cancer cells or stop them from growing. * Immunotherapy is a treatment that helps the immune system fight cancer. Gocatamig and I-DXd (short for ifinatamab deruxtecan) are study medicines. Researchers want to know if giving gocatamig and I-DXd together can treat ES-SCLC. Researchers will also look at giving the study medicines with standard treatment. Gocatamig is a T-cell engager therapy. I-DXd is an antibody drug conjugate. * T-cell engager therapy is a certain type of immunotherapy that uses T-cells to find and destroy cancer cells. * A T-cell is a type of white blood cell, which are cells that help the body fight infection. * An antibody drug conjugate (ADC) is a treatment that attaches to a protein on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells. The goals of this study are to learn: * About the safety of combining gocatamig and I-DXd and if people tolerate them together * If people who receive gocatamig and I-DXd have ES-SCLC respond, which means the cancer gets smaller or goes away

This is a Phase 3, open-label, randomized, clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of gedatolisib and palbociclib plus endocrine therapy for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer.

This study is to provide access for patients who are receiving treatment with dabrafenib and/or trametinib in a Novartis-sponsored Oncology Global Development, Global Medical Affairs or a former GSK-sponsored study who have fulfilled the requirements for the primary objective, and who are judged by the investigator as benefiting from continued treatment in the parent study as judged by the Investigator at the completion of the parent study.

The present study will use transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) which are transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) combined with conventional physical therapy and cognitive-motor dualt ask gait training in sub-acute (at least 2 weeks after stroke onset) to chronic stroke (within 5 years post-stroke) to investigate changes in brain hemodynamics (oxy-hemoglobin and deoxy-hemoglobin concentration) as measured by functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). The findings may provides insights changes in combining tES with rehabilitation on improvements in brain hemodynamics in sub-acute to chronic stroke.

The purpose of this study is to measure cardiovascular outcomes with orforglipron compared with placebo in participants with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and/or chronic kidney disease (CKD). Participation in the study will last about 5 years.

The OraGrowtH Phase 3 Trial is a multi-national trial. The goals of the trial are to study LUM-201 as a treatment for Pediatric Growth Hormone Deficiency (PGHD) in naive to treatment children and validate the LUM-201 predictive enrichment marker (LUM-201 PEM) strategy to select subjects likely to respond to therapy with daily oral LUM-201.

Researchers are looking for other ways to treat breast cancer (BC) that is hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HR+/HER2-) and either unresectable locally advanced or metastatic. * HR positive (HR+) means the cancer cells have proteins that attach to estrogen or progesterone (hormones) which help the cancer to grow and spread * HER2 negative (HER2-) means the cancer cells have a low amount of a protein called HER2 * Unresectable locally advanced means the cancer cannot be completely removed by surgery and has spread into nearby tissue or muscles * Metastatic means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body Treatment for this type of breast cancer usually includes endocrine therapy (ET) and sometimes a second treatment. The main goal of this study is to learn if people who receive patritumab deruxtecan (also known as HER3-DXd and MK-1022) live longer overall or without the cancer growing/spreading, compared to people who receive chemotherapy or a different drug called trastuzumab deruxtecan.

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Researchers have designed a study medicine called ifinatamab deruxtecan (also called I-DXd or MK-2400) to treat mCRPC. The goal of this study is to learn if people who receive I-DXd live longer overall and live longer without the cancer growing or spreading than people who receive chemotherapy.

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).

This is a phase 1/2, multicenter, open-label umbrella platform study that will evaluate the safety and tolerability of investigational agents with pembrolizumab and fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy for the first-line (1L) treatment of participants with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative gastric, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal adenocarcinoma. This substudy will have two phases: a safety lead-in phase and an efficacy phase. The safety lead-in phase will be used to evaluate the safety and tolerability, and to establish a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for investigational agents in combination with chemotherapy and immunotherapy. There is no formal hypothesis in this study.

This study is researching an experimental drug called odronextamab (referred to as study drug), in combination with lenalidomide. The study is focused on participants who have one of two types of cancer: Follicular Lymphoma (FL) or Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL) that has come back after treatment (called "relapsed") or did not respond to treatment (called "refractory"). FL and MZL are subtypes of Non-Hodgkin 's Lymphoma (NHL). This study will be made up of two parts (Part 1 not randomized, Part 2 randomized - controlled). The aim of Part 1 of the study is to see how safe and tolerable the study drug is when used in combination with lenalidomide, in participants with FL or MZL, and to determine the dose of the study drug to be used in Part 2 of this study. This combination is considered "first-in-human" as it has not been tested as a combination treatment in humans before. The aim of Part 2, of the study is to assess how well the combination of the study drug and lenalidomide works compared to the combination of rituximab (called "the comparator drug") and lenalidomide. The combination of comparator drug and lenalidomide is the current standard-of-care treatment for relapsed/refractory FL and/or MZL. Standard-of-care means the usual medication expected and used when receiving treatment for a condition. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from taking the study drug in combination with lenalidomide * 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 impact from the study drug on quality-of-life and ability to complete routine daily activities

This study is researching an experimental drug called odronextamab, referred to as study drug, when used in combination with chemotherapy. The study is focused on patients with Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) that have not been treated before (called "previously untreated"). Patients with DLBCL that have come back after treatment (called "relapsed"), or have not responded to treatment (called "refractory"), can also participate in this study. This study will be made up of Part 1A, Part 1B, and Part 2.The aim of Part 1A and Part 1B of the study is to see how safe and tolerable the study drug in combination with chemotherapy is and to determine the dose and schedule of the study drug to be combined with chemotherapy in Part 2 of the study. The aim of Part 2 of the study is to see how effective the combination of the study drug with chemotherapy is in comparison with the combination of rituximab (the comparator drug), and chemotherapy, the current standard of care treatment approved for DLBCL. Standard of care means the usual medication expected and used when receiving treatment for a condition. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from taking the study drug when combined with chemotherapy * 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 impact from the study drug on quality of life and ability to complete routine daily activities

This is a Phase 1/2, multicenter, randomized, open-label umbrella platform study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of investigational agents with or without pembrolizumab and/or chemotherapy, for the treatment of participants with second line (2L) esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who have previously been exposed to PD-1/PD-L1 based treatment.

The purpose of this Phase 2/3, randomized, multisite, open-label, dose confirmation, and expansion study is to evaluate the safety, and efficacy of zilovertamab vedotin (ZV) in combination with standard of care options for the treatment of rrDLBCL. This study will be divided into 2 parts: Dose Confirmation (Part 1) and Efficacy Expansion (Part 2) and will enroll participants who are at least 18 years of age with rrDLBCL. The hypotheses are: ZV in combination with rituximab, gemcitabine, and oxaliplatin (R-GemOx) is superior to R-GemOx with respect to progression-free survival (PFS) per Lugano response criteria by blinded independent review committee (BICR); and that ZV in combination with bendamustine rituximab (BR) is superior to BR with respect to PFS per Lugano response criteria by BICR. With protocol amendment 4 (effective: 04-April-2024), enrollment in Cohort B (study arms Bendamustine Rituximab \[BR\] and ZV + BR) is discontinued. No efficacy outcome analysis and hypothesis testing will be conducted for Cohort B.

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.

This prospective cross-sectional diagnostic accuracy study enrolled patients undergoing coronary angiography and left heart catheterization at Burapha University Hospital, Thailand. The diameters of the common femoral vein and common femoral artery were measured using ultrasonography, and the common FVD/FAD ratio was calculated. LVEDP, measured during left heart catheterization, served as the reference standard. An elevated LVEDP (\>16 mmHg) was defined as volume overload. Diagnostic performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.

This study aims to determine the prevalence of shrimp sensitization and clinical shrimp allergy among patients aged ≥7 years with confirmed allergy to edible insects, including silkworm, bamboo worm, and palm weevil. Participants undergo skin prick testing, specific IgE testing, ALEX2, immunoblot analysis, and risk-based oral food challenges to assess clinical cross-reactivity between edible insects and white shrimp and to help avoid unnecessary shrimp restriction.

This pilot randomized controlled trial will evaluate whether catheter size affects the efficacy and performance of ultra-low-flow extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO₂R) in mechanically ventilated adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and hypercapnic respiratory acidosis. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive ECCO₂R using a 12F, 13F, or 15F catheter. The primary outcome is the percentage change in PaCO₂ from baseline during ECCO₂R. Secondary outcomes include achievement and time to correction of hypercapnic respiratory acidosis, changes in PaO₂, circuit lifespan, maximum blood flow, and device- and patient-related complications.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate izalontamab brengitecan (iza-bren) combined with osimertinib in participants with previously untreated, locally advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC, compared to osimertinib alone or osimertinib combined with platinum-based chemotherapy

During critical illness, patients experience a hypercatabolic state. This hypercatabolic state causes muscle wasting in patients, resulting in intensive care unit acquired weakness (ICU-AW). ICU-AW is associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) weaning, extubating failure and extended length of stay. Previously recognized risk factors for ICU-AW include shock, sepsis, multiple organ failure, hyperglycemia, and prolonged exposure to corticosteroids, sedatives, or paralytic agents. Critical illness is complicated by the development of acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI causes muscle wasting by increasing protein degradation and decreasing protein synthesis. Furthermore, patients with severe AKI often require renal replacement therapy (RRT), which contributes to additional protein loss. Studies have estimated that amino acid losses associated with RRT may range from 5 to 19 g/d, with greater losses observed in patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). AKI requiring CRRT has recently been proposed to contribute to an increased risk of ICU-AW. Therefore, critically ill patients with AKI may require increased protein intake to compensate for these metabolic alterations. However, higher protein intake, particularly during the early acute phase of critical illness, may be associated with prolonged need for RRT or delayed kidney recovery. The objective of this trial is to compare the effects of a high protein intake versus a standard protein intake on muscle mass change in critically ill patients with AKI requiring CRRT. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if high protein intake (1.5-1.7 g/kg/d) can reduce ICU associated weakness in critically ill patients with AKI requiring CRRT. The main questions it aims to answer is: • Does High protein intake (1.5-1.7 g/kg/d) reduce the change in RF-CSA, as measured by ultrasonography at day 7 in critically ill patients with AKI requiring CRRT Researchers will compare drug high protein intake to standard protein intake to see if high protein intake effect on muscle mass by ultrasonography. Participants will: * Receive high protein group (1.5-1.7 g/kg/d) in High protein group and standard protein intake (1.0-1.2 g/kg/d) in control group for 7 days * Rectus femoris ultrasonography was performed twice on day 1 and day 7

This project aims to develop and test a new questionnaire to measure how well children recover in the post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU). Currently, children in PACU are mainly assessed using discharge readiness criteria, but these do not fully capture the child's recovery experience or overall wellbeing. Participants will be children aged 2-17 years having elective procedures requiring anaesthesia or sedation, and their parents/caregivers where proxy reporting is needed for younger children. The study will be conducted in stages, including interviews to identify important aspects of recovery, expert review of draft questions, testing of question clarity and acceptability, and field testing of the questionnaire in PACU at planned time points during recovery. Clinical information routinely collected as part of care, such as pain scores, nausea vomiting, airway or oxygen events, and length of stay in PACU, will also be examined to assess how well the questionnaire performs. The expected outcome is a child-centred, practical, and reliable PACU recovery measure that can be used in clinical care, quality improvement, and future research.

Migraine is among the leading causes of disability worldwide. Inappropriate use of acute medications in the setting of primary headache, particularly migraine can result in a debilitating condition known as medication overuse headache (MOH). Treatment of MOH is challenging and the primary therapeutic approach is reducing painkillers which helps decrease the number of headache days. As a part of the detoxification process to discontinue acute medications, bridging therapy is often needed to reduce withdrawal headache. Currently, there are data supporting the use of greater occipital nerve block as a preventive treatment in chronic migraine, but no placebo-controlled trial has evaluated the efficacy of greater occipital nerve block in MOH. Therefore, this research aims to demonstrate the efficacy of greater occipital nerve block in detoxification of migraine patients with MOH. Patients will be recruited from Headache Clinic at 3 centers in Thailand from February 2026 to January 2028. After recruitment, patients will be randomized into 2 groups at a 1:1 ratio using a block of four, namely group A and B. A 5-mL syringe of 2 mL of lidocaine 2% and 2 mL of methylprednisolone 40 mg/mL (80 mg) will be prepared for each patient in group while a 5-mL syringe of 4 mL normal saline will be prepared for each patient in group B. Monthly headache days, duration, severity, acute medication type and number of usage days and relative headache status according to a 5-point Likert scale will be investigated at the 2 weeks, 1st, 2nd and 3rd month, MIDAS at the end of 3rd month.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of RO7771950 in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine, compared to tucatinib in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine.
