PPIs and In-Hospital Morbidity in Acute Variceal Bleeding with Chronic Liver Disease

Clinical Trial on the Efficacy of Intralesional Triamcinolone Versus Candida Albicans Antigen in Treating Alopecia Areata

An Ophthalmic Safety Study in Patients With Breast Cancer

This is a multicentre study assessing the ophthalmic safety in patients who are participating in a qualifying study. The study will include two cohorts of at least 60 individuals each. To be able to account for events associated with aging, worsening of pre-existing conditions, etc., ophthalmic study assessments will be performed in parallel in two cohorts at the same timepoints. The duration of the study assessment period will be approximately 12 months. Longer duration of the study would result in additional patient burden.

Low Dose Teclistamab in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Patients

This single-arm, open-label study aims to determine the efficacy and safety of low-dose (1.0 mg/kg), limited-duration teclistamab as a consolidation scheme in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients after 3 (three) VRd cycles as induction therapy. Patients with MMND who meet the established inclusion criteria will be invited to participate. A single-arm phase 2 study will be conducted in the Hematology Department of the University Hospital, where an induction schedule of 3 cycles of bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (VRd) will be administered followed by consolidation with 4 therapeutic doses of teclistamab at 1.0 mg/kg subcutaneously. Four weeks after the last dose of teclistamab, the clinical response will be assessed according to standard International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria. Those with a complete response (CR) or better will be assessed for measurable residual disease (MRD) with multiparametric flow cytometry with a sensitivity of 10^6. Patients with CR and negative MRD will be kept under active surveillance for 18 months, while those with positive MRD or high cytogenetic risk will be offered biweekly bortezomib as maintenance. On the other hand, patients with very good partial response (VGPR) or worse will be offered 1-2 additional therapeutic doses of teclistamab and reevaluated 4 weeks after the last dose. Finally, patients who do not achieve CR will exit the study and will continue their management according to the standard of care recommended by their treating physician.

A Trial to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Buloxibutid in People With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.

Buloxibutid is an oral angiotensin II type 2 (AT2) receptor agonist and has been shown to improve lung function in IPF over 36 weeks. Buloxibutid agonizes the AT2 receptor on alveolar epithelial type 2 cells (AEC2s), which are believed to play a central role in the disease. Buloxibutid has been demonstrated preclinically to improve AEC2 viability, alveolar integrity via surfactant secretion and epithelial repair via replenishment of gas exchange alveolar epithelial type 1 cells (AEC1s). This leads to decreasing downstream profibrotic signaling, enhancing resolution of existing fibrotic tissue via upregulation of collagenase matrix metalloproteinases, and addressing vascular disfunction associated with the disease. The trial will include participants who are on stable licensed IPF therapy or who are currently not treated with a licensed IPF therapy. The latter group will include participants intolerant or not responsive to licensed IPF therapies, participants ineligible to receive these therapies, and participants who have voluntarily declined to receive a licensed IPF therapy after being fully informed of the potential benefits and risks of such therapy. Due to the potential risk of drug-drug interactions (DDIs), concomitant treatment with pirfenidone is not allowed in this trial. Participants who are not on antifibrotic therapy at study start may initiate such treatment during the study. The trial is planned to enroll 270 participants, 90 participants on oral buloxibutid 100 mg BID, 90 participants on oral buloxibutid 50 mg BID, and 90 participants on oral placebo BID for 52 weeks. The treatment will be blinded and treatment allocation will be randomized. The primary measurement will be based on spirometry, measuring the forced vital capacity (FVC). The trial consists of 3 consecutive periods: a screening period of up to 6 weeks, a 52-week treatment period, and a follow-up period of 2-4 weeks after the 52-week visit. The study procedures have been planned with focus on optimizing patient convenience while allowing a safe conduct and strict scientific rigor. Trial website: www.aspire-ipf.com

A Study to Investigate the Effect on Lung Function of BDA Formulated With a New Propellant (HFO) Compared With an Approved Asthma Treatment (BDA With HFA Propellant) in Participants With Asthma

The purpose of this study is to assess the PD equivalence of the approved asthma combination therapy, BDA, delivered using the proposed replacement propellant HFO compared with BDA delivered using the currently approved propellant HFA in participants with asthma. The study duration for each participant will be approximately 14 to 15 weeks and will consist of: 1. A screening and placebo run-in period of approximately 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention 2. 3 treatment periods of 4 weeks each 3. A final safety follow-up visit via telephone contact approximately 5 days after the final dose of study intervention Participants will attend in-clinic visits 2 weeks apart during the screening/run-in period (Visits 1 and 2) and then every 4 weeks during the treatment period (Visits 3, 4, and 5).

ARTEMIS - A Research Study to Look at How Ziltivekimab Works Compared to Placebo in People With a Heart Attack

A Study to Investigate the Effect on Lung Function of an Approved COPD Treatment (BGF, With HFA Propellant) Compared to BGF Formulated With a New Propellant (HFO) in Participants 40 to 80 Years of Age With COPD

This is a phase III, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multi-centre, 4-week, 3-way crossover pharmacodynamic study to assess the equivalence of BGF MDI HFO compared with BGF MDI HFA in participants with COPD. To demonstrate assay sensitivity, BGF MDI HFA will be compared to placebo MDI HFA for superiority in lung function, both pre- and post-dose. Eligible participants are between 40 and 80 years of age, inclusive, who have an established clinical history of COPD as defined by the ATS/ERS. Participants are required to have an FEV1/FVC ratio of < 0.70, have a post-bronchodilator FEV1 ≥ 40% and < 80% predicted normal value, have a blood eosinophil count < 300 cells/μL, and be current or former cigarette smokers with a history of at least 10 pack-years. Participants must not have had a COPD exacerbation treated with oral corticosteroids or antibiotics within 4 months prior to initiation of screening, and must not have had a COPD exacerbation that required hospitalisation within 12 months prior to initiation of screening. Eligible participants are those on treatment with LABA, LAMA, LAMA/LABA (open or fixed-dose combination), ICS/LABA (open or fixed-dose combination) inhaled maintenance therapies, or SABA, SAMA, or SAMA/SABA scheduled or as-needed inhaled therapies, or who are naïve to COPD therapy. This study will be conducted at approximately 95 sites globally. After screening, participants will be randomised 1:1:1:1:1:1 to receive study interventions in one of 6 possible treatment sequences.
