Recently Added/Updated trials

A phase 3, randomized, double-blind study of ianalumab (VAY736) versus placebo in addition to first-line corticosteroids in primary immune thrombocytopenia

All genders
To demonstrate that the addition of ianalumab to standard first-line corticosteroids prolongs Time to Treatment Failure compared to Corticosteroids alone in participants with primary ITP. ITP means immune thrombocytopenia. Time from randomization to treatment failure which is defined as Platelet count below 30G/L after 8 weeks from randomization. Need for a rescue treatment after 8 weeks from randomization. Start of a second-line therapy or death. Complete response rate at each time point which is defined as the proportion of participants with any platelet count of at least 100 G/L in the absence of rescue treatment or new ITP treatment. Response rate at each timepoint which is defined as the proportion of participants with any platelet count of at least 50 G/L in the absence of rescue treatment or new ITP treatment.

UPCC 25223: A Phase I/II Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety, Cellular Kinetics and Efficacy of AZD5851, a Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell (CAR-T) Therapy Directed Against GPC3 in Adult Participants with Advanced/Recurrent HEpatocellular CarciNomA

SOL-MDD-301

All genders
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether the study drug, Solriamfetol, is safe and effective for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Solriamfetol, also called Sunosi®, is approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for people who have excessive daytime sleepiness associated with narcolepsy and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Sanofi

All genders
The dupilumab clinical program in EoE has provided evidence that long-term suppression of IL-4 and IL-13 could lead to progressive improvement in fibrostenosis. . There is a need for longer term assessments with comprehensive functional, histological, molecular, clinical, and endoscopic assessments to characterize the risk of fibrotic progression as well the potential for reversal with dupilumab.
