Clinical trials

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 long-term follow-up study for participants treated with Galapagos (GLPG) CAR T-cell therapies to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of GLPG CAR T-cell products for 15 years post infusion. Per Health Authorities guidelines for gene therapy medicinal products that utilize integrating vectors (e.g. lentiviral vectors), long term safety and efficacy follow up of treated patients is required. The purpose of this study is to monitor all participants exposed to GLPG CAR T-cell therapies for 15 years following their last CAR T-cell infusion to assess the risk of delayed adverse events (AEs) and the long-term benefit/risk profile and to monitor for replication-competent lentivirus (RCL) and CAR-T cell persistence.

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.

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.

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).

This study aims to compare the efficacy of vericiguat versus placebo on change in n-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) from baseline to Week 16 of the Base Period. The primary hypothesis is that vericiguat is superior to placebo in reducing NT-proBNP at Week 16 of the Base Period.

The goal of this study is to evaluate intismeran autogene plus pembrolizumab versus placebo plus pembrolizumab for the adjuvant treatment of margin negative, completely resected Stage II, IIIA, IIIB (with nodal involvement \[N2\]) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary hypothesis is that intismeran autogene plus pembrolizumab is superior to placebo plus pembrolizumab with respect to disease-free survival (DFS) as assessed by the investigator.

This is a post-market (Phase IV) randomized, controlled, blinded, multicenter study with the aim to determine the added value of staged bilateral Exablate thalamotomy compared to a group of patients on previous unilateral treatment combined with local standard medical treatment.

Testicular cancer is highly curable, but approximately 20-30% of patients with clinical stage I disease harbor occult retroperitoneal lymph node metastases that are not detected by conventional imaging. Current risk-adapted management may lead to overtreatment in some patients while failing to identify others who are at increased risk of relapse. The RAISN 2 study evaluates whether minimally invasive indocyanine green (ICG)-guided retroperitoneal sentinel lymph node dissection can improve primary staging and risk stratification in patients with clinical stage I testicular cancer. Participants will be randomized in a 5:1 ratio to undergo either orchiectomy combined with ICG-guided sentinel lymph node dissection or standard orchiectomy followed by guideline-based surveillance. All participants will undergo structured follow-up according to current clinical guidelines. The primary objective is to estimate the 2-year relapse-free survival of patients undergoing the sentinel lymph node approach. Secondary objectives include assessment of overall survival, relapse patterns, perioperative morbidity, quality of life, psychological outcomes, and the feasibility and safety of the procedure. This multicenter study aims to determine whether sentinel lymph node-guided staging provides more accurate risk stratification while avoiding unnecessary treatment and maintaining oncological safety.

The purpose of this study is to collect NIBP and invasive aortic pressure data from the clinical setting.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of Admilparant in participants who completed participation in parent studies IM027-068 (for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)) and IM027-1015 (for progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF)).

This study is designed to learn if enlicitide decanoate is safe and effective to treat children and adolescents with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) and high amounts of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the blood. The goals of this study are to learn about the safety of enlicitide and if children tolerate it, what happens to enlicitide in a child's body over time, and if enlicitide works to lower cholesterol levels in children more than a placebo.

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.

Main Objective of this study is to examine long-term safety of nivolumab monotherapy including combinations and other cancer therapies in various tumor types.

Acute cholecystitis is common in elderly patients and becomes more frequent with increasing age. Standard treatment is laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LCC), but operative treatment may be associated with increased risk in older patients with substantial comorbidity or reduced tolerance of general anesthesia. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) is a minimally invasive internal drainage procedure performed through the stomach or duodenum using endoscopic ultrasound guidance and a lumen-apposing metal stent. This approach may provide an alternative to operative treatment in selected elderly patients. The CHOICE study (CHolecystitis Outcomes in the Investigation of Cholecystectomy versus EUS-GBD) is a multicenter randomized controlled trial comparing EUS-GBD with LCC in patients aged 75 years or older with acute cholecystitis. Participants are randomly assigned to undergo either laparoscopic removal of the gallbladder or endoscopic ultrasound-guided internal gallbladder drainage. The objective of the study is to determine whether EUS-GBD provides clinically acceptable outcomes compared with standard operative treatment in this patient population. Participants are followed using medical record review and scheduled follow-up contacts.

This trial will examine if maridebart cafraglutide as an adjunct to standard of care will lead to a reduction in heart failure (HF) events such as HF hospitalizations and urgent HF visits, cardiovascular (CV) deaths and improvement in HF symptoms in participants with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and HF with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) who are obese. This is a phase 3, global, multicenter, 2-part trial with a double-blind period and an open-label extension (OLE). The trial is event-driven, and Part 1 will conclude when approximately 850 primary endpoint events have occurred.

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat types of breast cancer that are both: * High-risk, which means the cancer may have a higher chance of getting worse or coming back after treatment * Early-stage, which means the cancer is in the breast or the lymph nodes around the breast The 2 types of breast cancer in this study are triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and hormone receptor (HR)-low positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) negative breast cancer. These cancers have zero or a low amount of a protein called HER2 and other proteins that attach to the hormones estrogen or progesterone. Sacituzumab tirumotecan (also known as sac-TMT or MK-2870), the study medicine, is a type of targeted therapy. A targeted therapy is a treatment that works to control how specific types of cancer cells grow and spread. The main goals of this study are to learn if people who receive sac-TMT, pembrolizumab, and chemotherapy: * Have fewer cancer cells found in the tumors and lymph nodes removed during surgery compared to those who receive only pembrolizumab and chemotherapy * Live longer without the cancer growing, spreading, or coming back compared to people who receive only pembrolizumab with chemotherapy

This is a 36-month, long-term, multicenter, observational study designed to describe the real world effectiveness of pegcetacoplan in patients with PNH. Patients meeting the eligibility criteria will be enrolled in the study and followed prospectively for approximately 36 months. Patient data will be collected from start of pegcetacoplan treatment to end of follow-up. Retrospective data on pegcetacoplan will be captured from the time of pegcetacoplan treatment initiation. Pegcetacoplan treatment data will be collected for a minimum of approximately 36 months and up to a maximum of approximately 72 months, including retrospective period depending on when the patient started pegcetacoplan treatment. After pegcetacoplan treatment discontinuation, patients will remain in the study for 8 weeks to capture any AEs. The scope of the study is to collect both retrospective and prospective data. Baseline is defined as start of pegcetacoplan treatment. The main part of the study will be prospective,collecting data on effectiveness, safety (all AEs), patient- and clinician-reported outcomes and health care resource use.

This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial of an interventional strategy using the ClotTriever System to achieve and maintain vessel patency (ClotTriever Intervention Arm) versus conservative medical management using anticoagulation therapy alone (Conservative Medical Management Arm) in the treatment of subjects with symptomatic unilateral iliofemoral DVT. The study will collect data on demographics, comorbidities, details from the DVT diagnosis and treatment, and clinical outcomes through the 6-month follow up visit.

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a well-established treatment for rotator cuff arthropathy. However, the effectiveness of RSA has not been compared to non-surgical treatment in a randomised controlled trial. Shoulder exercises may be an effective treatment for reducing pain and improving function in glenohumeral osteoarthritis. The primary aim of this trial is to examine if RSA followed by standard postsurgical rehabilitation is superior to a 12-week exercise programme in patients with rotator cuff arthropathy eligible for unilateral RSA. The investigators hypothesise that surgical intervention followed by standard rehabilitation, results in clinically relevant (14-point, on a scale from 0-100) improvement compared to the exercise intervention.

The purpose of this study is to collect NIBP and invasive aortic pressure data from the clinical setting.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of standard chemotherapy with or without INCB161734 in participants with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

In this study, researchers want to learn about the safety of a new drug, BAY 3547926, and how well the drug works in people with a type of liver cancer called advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which has a special protein called Glypican 3 (GPC3). Researchers want to find the best dose of BAY 3547926 for people with advanced HCC and look at the way the body absorbs and distributes the drug. The study drug, BAY 3547926, delivers a radioactive agent to cancer cells. The radioactive agent emits radiations which can damage the cancer cells and cause them to die. These radiations travel a small distance, so are expected to cause little damage to surrounding healthy tissues. This is the first study of BAY 3547926 in humans. Participants will take part in one of the 4 different parts of the study. In Part 1, participants will receive different doses of BAY 3547926 alone to find the dose that is deemed safe and works best for the participants. When this dose has been found, a larger number of participants will receive BAY 3547926 alone in Part 2 or with other treatments in Parts 3 and 4 of the study. During the study, the doctors and their study team will do health check-ups, take pictures (scans) of the body, collect blood and urine samples, and ask participants questions about how they are feeling and what health problems they are having.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether ibuzatrelvir is effective and safe in adults and adolescents with COVID-19 who do not need to be in the hospital but who are at high risk for progression to severe disease. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned (by chance) to receive ibuzatrelvir or matching placebo orally for 5 days. Co-administration of locally available standard of care is allowed. The total duration of the study is around 6 months.

This study will explore whether a combination of the investigational drug PF-06821497 and enzalutamide will work better than taking enzalutamide alone in participants with mCRPC who are ARSi or abiraterone naïve.
