Researchers are looking for other ways to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Sotatercept is a study medicine that is designed to treat PAH. A past study, MK-7962-024 (LIGHTRAY) (NCT06664801), learned about the safety and effects of sotatercept in people with PAH. One of the goals of that study was to learn about sotatercept when given at a dose (amount) based on the weight range a person is in (weight-banded doses) compared to when given based on a person's exact weight. This is an extension study, which means people who took part in MK-7962-024 (LIGHTRAY) may be able to join this study. In this extension study, people will get weight-banded doses of sotatercept. The main goal of this study is to learn about the safety of weight-banded doses of sotatercept and if people tolerate it over a longer period of time.

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Researchers have designed a study medicine called ifinatamab deruxtecan (also called I-DXd or MK-2400) to treat mCRPC. The goal of this study is to learn if people who receive I-DXd live longer overall and live longer without the cancer growing or spreading than people who receive chemotherapy,

Study Rationale: Breast cancer survivors are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease (CVD) or neurocognitive disease than age-matched counterparts without a history of cancer diagnosis. Some anti-cancer treatments cause damage to the cells of heart and the walls of blood vessels, which may exacerbate neurovascular dysfunction and cancer-related cognitive impairment (symptoms such as 'chemo-brain'), as well as accelerating the onset of neurocognitive disease. Therefore, effective policies and therapeutic strategies are needed to minimize neurovascular dysfunction and neurocognitive disease in at-risk populations like breast cancer survivors. Regular exercise training is effective in slowing or preventing the development of CVD. Furthermore, higher fitness levels are associated with lower dementia risk in older adults, which may be due to better neurovascular function. However, whether exercise training incorporated into a Cardio-Oncology Rehabilitation and Exercise (CORE) programme can improve neurovascular function in breast cancer survivors is currently unknown. Therefore, the primary aim of this study will be to determine the effect of a CORE programme on neurovascular function in long-term breast cancer survivors. Study Description: This study will be a randomised controlled trial to investigate the effect of a CORE programme on neurovascular function in long-term breast cancer survivors. Participants will complete a series of baseline assessments, including lifestyle questionnaires, a cognitive function assessment, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), ultrasound assessments of arterial stiffness and vascular function, and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Furthermore, participants will wear a blood pressure monitor at home for 24 hours, and a physical activity monitor for seven days. Following completion of baseline assessments, participants will be randomised to either the CORE program or a 'usual care' group. The CORE program will include a 6-month exercise training program supervised by an Exercise Physiologist at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute. The usual care group will carry on with healthcare from their usual healthcare provider(s) for 6 months. Participants will then complete two follow-up study visits following completion of the 6-month intervention period, with identical procedures to the baseline study visits. Study Duration: This study involves two baseline study visits in month 1, followed by two study visits in month 7. Participants randomised to the CORE program will be asked to attend the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute on a weekly basis for supervised exercise training sessions. However, the supervised exercise training sessions will be provided by a mix of in-person, video-conferencing and tele-health modes depending on each participants availability and needs.

This is a phase 3, multicentre, randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study examining the safety and efficacy of 2.5 mg sublingual (SL) minoxidil tablets taken twice daily in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in men. The duration of study participation is 32 weeks including screening and safety follow up. The primary efficacy objective is to determine whether treatment with 2.5 mg SL tablets twice daily increases the number of hairs in men with AGA over 24 weeks. The primary safety objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 2.5 mg SL tablets administered twice daily over 24 weeks.

1000 participants from up to 25 international locations who are at least 50 years old with either healthy eyes or a diagnosis of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) will be consented to provide images of their eyes for a new dataset. This dataset is an important step in developing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based screening tool for AMD.

This is a Phase I/II, open-label, first-in human study of GRWD5769 alone, and in combination with another anti-cancer agent in advanced solid cancers.

A first-in-human study using BDC-4182 as a single agent in gastric and gastroesophageal cancers

The main purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of lebrikizumab versus placebo on skin lesions in adults and adolescent participants with atopic hand and foot dermatitis. This study lasts up to 32 weeks, including a 6-week screening period, a 16-week treatment period, and a safety follow-up visit 12 weeks after the last dose.

This is a randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled first in human (FIH) trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), and immunogenicity of GB-7624. The trial will have two parts: a SAD component and a MAD component. Part A (SAD): a total of 24 healthy volunteers are planned to be enrolled across 3 SAD cohorts and will involve the administration of a single subcutaneous (SC) dose of GB-7624 (300 mg, 600 mg, or 1200 mg) or placebo on Day 1 in cohorts A1, A2, and A3. Part B (MAD): a total of 16 healthy volunteers are planned to be enrolled across 2 MAD cohorts and will involve the administration of multiple SC doses of GB-7624 (300 mg on Day 1 and Day 15 or 600 mg on Day1 and Day 15) or placebo in cohorts B1 and B2. The decision to escalate between dose levels in the SAD (Part A) and the MAD (Part B) as well as the decision to proceed from Part A to Part B will be based on safety review committee (SRC) review of prior cohorts, blinded available safety, tolerability and PK data. Study drug will be administered at the study site by trained study site personnel to ensure compliance. The administration of all trial intervention will be recorded in eCRF. Compliance will be assured by direct supervision and witnessing of trial intervention administration.

The present First-In-Human (FIH) study (JUV-161-101) aims to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of single subcutaneous (SC) doses of JUV-161 in healthy volunteers. The study design is well-established for FIH studies and appropriate to assess the preliminary safety and tolerability of new drug candidates. Data from this study will support conduct of a multiple-ascending dose (MAD) study in patients with DM1 as well as supporting studies in other degenerative myopathies and other disorders for which preclinical efficacy data have been obtained.JUV-161 has not been previously been administered to human subjects.
