Clinical trials

A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of triplet combination of inavolisib plus ribociclib and fulvestrant versus placebo plus ribociclib and fulvestrant in the first-line setting in participants with endocrine-therapy-resistant hormone receptor (HR)-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer (ABC).

The study will assess the efficacy and safety of 2 dose regimens of pegozafermin compared to placebo for the treatment of liver fibrosis stage F2 or F3 in adult participants with MASH.

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.

This study is open to adults with advanced extrapulmonary neuroendocrine cancer. The purpose of this study is to find out if a study medicine called obrixtamig plus standard chemotherapy (carboplatin and etoposide) improves survival when compared to standard chemotherapy (carboplatin and etoposide) 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 delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3). Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group (treatment arm) receives obrixtamig and standard chemotherapy followed by obrixtamig alone for up to 3 years. The other group (control arm) receives standard chemotherapy without obrixtamig for about 4 months. All treatments are given as infusions into a vein. During the study, participants in both groups visit the study site regularly. Participants in the treatment arm stay overnight at the study site following the first 2 obrixtamig treatments. The doctors regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects. At some of the visits, doctors check the size of the tumour(s). The results are compared between the 2 groups to see whether the treatment works.

This is a study to confirm the clinical efficacy and safety of sonelokimab compared with placebo in the treatment of adults with active psoriatic arthritis who have had a previous inadequate response or intolerance to anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α therapy.

A study to evaluate the effect of abelacimab relative to placebo on the rate of ischemic stroke or systemic embolism (SE) in patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) who have been deemed by their responsible physicians or by their own decision to be unsuitable for oral anticoagulation therapy.

Mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder affect over 350 million people around the world. While several effective treatments exist, it is often difficult to match the right treatment to an individual person. Repeated efforts to find the right treatment contribute to poor functioning, low quality of life, and prolongs the time it takes to get well. Most areas of medicine are able to use 'biomarkers' or clinical tests, blood tests, or imaging to help diagnose and treat illness. The search for biomarkers in mood disorders is advancing, but one roadblock to progress is the lack of large, standardized studies of mood disorders that are needed to accurately identify biomarkers. The aim of the ENABLE platform is to provide the Canadian neuroscience community a standardized way of collecting biomarker data from individuals with a range of mood disorders symptoms. In addition, this 'master clinical trial platform' framework will provide a pool of participants who can be recruited into biomarker-based clinical trials.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KarXT + KarX-EC in adult participants with agitation related to Alzheimer's Disease.

This phase III trial compares the effect of adding immunotherapy (brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab) to standard treatment (chemotherapy with or without radiation) to the standard treatment alone in improving survival in patients with stage I and II classical Hodgkin lymphoma. Brentuximab vedotin is in a class of medications called antibody-drug conjugates. It is made of a monoclonal antibody called brentuximab that is linked to a cytotoxic agent called vedotin. Brentuximab attaches to CD30 positive lymphoma cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, bleomycin sulfate, vinblastine sulfate, dacarbazine, and procarbazine hydrochloride work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill cancer cells. Vincristine is in a class of medications called vinca alkaloids. It works by stopping cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Prednisone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Adding immunotherapy to the standard treatment of chemotherapy with or without radiation may increase survival and/or fewer short-term or long-term side effects in patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma compared to the standard treatment alone.

This study is researching an experimental treatment combination with two experimental drugs called pozelimab and cemdisiran. The study is focused on people with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). The aim of this study is to see how safe and effective the pozelimab + cemdisiran combination is for people with PNH in the long term. The pozelimab + cemdisiran combination may be referred to as "study drugs" in this section. This study is looking at several other research questions, including: * How effective is the pozelimab + cemdisiran combination? * What side effects may happen from taking the study drugs? * How much of each study drug is in the blood at different times? * Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drugs (which could make the drugs less effective or could lead to side effects)

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of GDC-4198 alone and in combination with giredestrant and also the efficacy of GDC-4198 + giredestrant versus abemaciclib + giredestrant in participants with locally advanced or metastatic ER+, HER2- breast cancer. The study consists of 2 phases: Phase Ib and Phase II. Phase Ib will evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of GDC-4198 alone and in combination with giredestrant. Phase II stage will compare the activity and safety of GDC-4198 and giredestrant with abemaciclib and giredestrant.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of mezigdomide (CC-92480), bortezomib and dexamethasone (MeziVd) versus pomalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone (PVd) in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who received between 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy and who have had prior lenalidomide exposure.

Phase 3b/4, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of a once daily SC injection of elamipretide in subjects with genetically confirmed BTHS for 72 weeks. The primary trial objective is to confirm the efficacy of elamipretide which is approved in the United States(FORZINITY™) under the accelerated approval based on an improvement in knee extensor muscle strength, an intermediate clinical endpoint.

Researchers want to learn if MK-5684 (the study medicine) can treat breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and endometrial cancer. MK-5684, the study medicine, is designed to treat cancer by blocking the body from making steroid hormones. Researchers will compare MK-5684 to the standard treatments for each cancer type in this study. The goal of this study is to learn if people who receive MK-5684 live longer without the cancer growing or spreading compared to people who receive a standard treatment.

The purpose of this study is to test a new medicine, vepugratinib, in comparison with placebo, to see if it is safe and can help people with a bladder cancer that is advanced or has spread. Vepugratinib or placebo will be administered in combination with enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab. Study participation could last up to approximately 6 years.

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA). R-axSpA is a type of arthritis that causes pain, stiffness, and inflammation (swelling) in the spine and joints in the pelvis (hip bone). Radiographic means the damage it causes can be seen on X-rays. This study will help find out if a study medicine called tulisokibart can treat symptoms of r-axSpA. Researchers will look at different doses of tulisokibart. Researchers want to know if at least one of the study doses of tulisokibart works better than a placebo to improve r-axSpA symptoms. A placebo looks like the study medicine but has no study medicine in it. Using a placebo helps researchers better understand the effects of the study medicine.

Researchers are looking for other ways to treat relapsed high-grade serous ovarian cancer. Relapsed means the cancer came back after treatment. High-grade means the cancer cells grow and spread quickly. Serous means the cancer started in the cells that cover the ovaries, the lining of the belly, or in the fallopian tubes. Standard treatment (usual treatment) for people with relapsed high-grade serous ovarian cancer may include: * Chemotherapy, which is a treatment that uses medicine to destroy cancer cells or stop them from growing * Targeted therapy, which is a treatment that works to control how specific types of cancer cells grow and spread Raludotatug deruxtecan (R-DXd) is a study treatment that is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC). An ADC attaches to a protein on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells. Researchers want to know if R-DXd is safe to take with other treatments and if people tolerate them together. They also want to learn how many people have the cancer respond (gets smaller or goes away) to the treatments.

This study is a Phase 3, non-randomized, multicenter, efficacy and safety study in adult patients with Gaucher disease Type 1, on stable treatment with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) or substrate reduction therapy (SRT) for at least 2 years. The study aims to confirm the efficacy and safety of FLT201 in this population after discontinuation of ERT/SRT.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and exposure-response (E-R) of BMS-986435/MYK-224 in participants with symptomatic Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF).

Alopecia areata (AA) is a disease that happens when the immune system attacks hair follicles and causes hair loss. AA usually affects the head and face, but hair loss can happen on any part of the body. The purpose of this study is to assess how safe, effective, and tolerable upadacitinib is in adolescent and adult participants with severe AA. Upadacitinib is an approved drug being investigated for the treatment of AA. In Study 1 and Study 2 and Study 4 Period A, participants are placed in 1 of 3 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. There is a 1 in 5 chance that participants will be assigned to placebo. In Study 1 and Study 2 and Study 4 Period B, participants originally randomized to upadacitinib dose group in Period A will continue their same treatment in Period B. Participants originally randomized to Placebo in Period A will either remain on placebo in Period B, or be randomized in 1 of 2 groups, based off of their Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) score. Participants who complete Study 1, Study 2 or Study 4, can join Study 3 and may be re-randomized to receive 1 of 2 doses of upadacitinib for up to 108 weeks. Around 1500 participants with severe AA will be enrolled in the study at approximately 280 sites worldwide. Participants will receive oral tablets of either upadacitinib or placebo once daily for up to 160 weeks with the potential of being re-randomized into a different treatment group at Weeks 24 and 52. Participants will be followed up for up to 30 days after last study drug dose. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. 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, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
