Entresto Tablets and Granules for Pediatric Specified Drug-use Survey (Pediatric Chronic Heart Failure)
This specified drug-use survey is conducted to collect information on the safety specifications of Entresto in pediatric patients with chronic heart failure in Japan in actual clinical settings, and to investigate the occurrence of events related to the safety specifications, the risk factors associated with these events, and the status of Entresto administration including the accidental administration of capsule-shaped container (Granules for Pediatric). The subjects of this study are pediatric patients and a long-term observation of 1 year (52 weeks) has been set.

Avacopan vs Reduced-dose Glucocorticoids in ANCA-associated Vasculitis
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis is characterized by a small to medium-size vasculitis and the presence of ANCA. ANCA-associated vasculitis includes microscopic polyangiitis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. ANCA-associated vasculitis can be a life-threatening disease and the mortality is 80% at 1 year in untreated patients. In 2010s, standard therapies for remission induction of ANCA-associated vasculitis were the combination of high-dose glucocorticoids and either cyclophosphamide or rituximab. Although those therapies have high remission rates of 80-90%, mortality at 5 years is still high at 10-20% mainly due to treatments-related adverse events. In the LoVAS trial (2021, JAMA), the combination of reduced-dose glucocorticoid and rituximab showed non-inferiority to high-dose glucocorticoid and rituximab in remission rates at 6 months. In addition, adverse events were dramatically less in the reduced-dose group than in the high-dose group. In the ADVOCATE trial (2021, NEJM), the combination of avacopan, newly developed complement C5a inhibitor, and rituximab or cyclophosphamide showed non-inferiority to high-dose glucocorticoid and rituximab or cyclophosphamide in remission rates at 6 months. The avacopan group was allowed to use glucocorticoid within 1 month from the trial entry, and over 80% of patients used glucocorticoid indeed. Regarding adverse events, they were less in the avacopan group than in the glucocorticoid group. Although both the reduced-dose glucocorticoid regimen in the LoVAS trial and the avacopan regimen in the ADVOCATE trial are effective and safe for patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis, there is no trial directly comparing both regimens at the moment. Thus, in this multicenter, open-label, randomized, non-ineriority, phase 4 trial, the investigators aim to investigate if the combination of avacoapn, short-term (4 weeks) reduced-dose glucocorticoid and rituximab is non-inferior to the combination of reduced-dose glucocorticoid (20 weeks) and rituximab. The investigators also compare safety profiles and disease relapse between the two groups. A total of 160 patients with new-onset ANCA-associated vasculitis (microscopic polyangiitis and granulomatosis with polyangiitis) will be recruited and randomized to the two treatments groups. The primary end point is remission rate at 26 weeks, and the patients will be followed until 104 weeks for assessing disease relapse and long-term safety.

Randomized, Embedded, Multifactorial Adaptive Platform Trial for Community- Acquired Pneumonia
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) that is of sufficient severity to require admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) is associated with substantial mortality. Patients with pneumonia who are being treated in an ICU will receive therapy that consists of many different treatments, as many as 20 or 30. These treatments act together to treat both the infection and its effects on the body. When treating a patient, doctors choose from many different treatments, most of which are known or believed to be safe and effective. However, doctors don't always know which treatment option is the better one, as individuals or groups of individuals may respond differently. This study aims to help doctors understand which treatments work best. This clinical study has been designed in a way that allows the information from patients already in the study to help new patients joining the study. Most studies aren't able to do that. REMAP-CAP has been designed to: - Evaluate multiple treatment strategies, at the same time, in the same patient. - Reach platform conclusions when sufficient data is accrued, rather than when a pre-specified sample size is reached - Utilise data that is already accrued to increase the likelihood that patients within the trial are randomised to treatments that are more likely to be beneficial - New questions can be substituted into the trial as initial questions are answered, meaning that the trial can be perpetual or open-ended - Interactions between interventions in different domains can be evaluated It is reasonable to presume that any pandemic respiratory infection of major significance to public health will manifest as life-threatening respiratory infection including Severe Acute Respiratory illness and severe Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) with concomitant admission to hospital, and for some patients, admission to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Previous pandemics and more localized outbreaks of respiratory emerging infections have resulted in severe CAP and ICU admission. Previous pandemics and outbreaks of emerging infectious diseases have outlined the urgent need for evidence, preferably from Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs), to guide best treatment. However, there are substantial challenges associated with being able to organize such trials when the time of onset of a pandemic and its exact nature are unpredictable. As an adaptive platform trial that enrolls patients during the interpandemic period, REMAP-CAP is ideally positioned to adapt, in the event of a respiratory pandemic, to evaluate existing treatments as well as novel approaches.
