The goal of this single-arm interventional study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of co-designed telehealth family psychoeducation (FPE) among individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) and families. The study will also assess the intervention's preliminary impact on personal recovery, antidepressant medication adherence, depression severity, and medication necessity beliefs and concerns. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What are patients', families', and mental health professionals' views about telehealth FPE for MDD? * What are the feasibility and acceptability of telehealth FPE for MDD among individuals with MDD and their families? * What is the preliminary impact of telehealth FPE for MDD on personal recovery, antidepressant medication adherence, depression severity, and medication necessity beliefs and concerns? Study participants will include individuals with MDD who have prescriptions for antidepressant medications and their family members. Participants will receive three biweekly FPE sessions and a six-week follow-up session via telehealth using a single-family format. The study intervention, telehealth family psychoeducation for MDD, will cover structured modules to enhance participants' understanding of MDD and its treatment, coping strategies, and self-efficacy skills. It will also focus on recognising early signs of relapse and empowering participants to engage in treatment decision-making actively. Hence, the study intervention is termed the Supportive Program for Advancing Recovery, Knowledge, and Empowerment in Depression (SPARKED). At baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up, participants with MDD will complete self-reported measures for personal recovery, antidepressant medication adherence, depression severity, and medication necessity beliefs and concerns. In contrast, their family members or caregivers will complete only an outcome measure for medication necessity beliefs and concerns.

The intervention in this study consists of 75-minute intraduodenal infusions of isosmotic solutions containing either saline (control), L-tryptophan, or calcium combined with L-tryptophan. Participants enrolled into the study will receive, in a randomised, double-blind fashion either (i) saline (control), (ii) L-tryptophan at a rate of 0.1 kcal/minute, (iii) combination of L-tryptophan (0.1 kcal/minute) + 500 mg calcium, or (iv) combination of L-tryptophan (0.1 kcal/minute) + 1000 mg calcium in four separate sessions, each of which will be separated by at least 4 (and up to 10) days. Each study session will be 4-6 hours. Studies will be carried out in the Clinical Research Facility of the Adelaide Medical School, the University of Adelaide, by staff and students trained in the required techniques.

This is a Phase 2, multicenter, proof-of-concept platform study in adult participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). The primary goal of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of multiple interventions following intravenous (IV) induction and subcutaneous (SC) maintenance treatment.

This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability of INCA035784 in participants with myeloproliferative neoplasms.

This is a Phase III, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of baxdrostat versus placebo, on the reduction of Seated Blood Pressure (SBP) and achieving normalization of the Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System (RAAS) in approximately 180 participants = 18 years of age with Primary Aldosteronism (PA), with or without prior treatment with Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists (MRAs) or potassium-sparing diuretics. Baxdrostat (or placebo) will be administered once daily, up-titrated after 2 weeks based on clinical response and tolerability. The study is planned to be conducted globally in approximately 90 study centres and 12 countries.

The objective of this study is to investigate the PK, PD, safety, and tolerability of ivosidenib in adult participants with IDH1-mutated malignancies and hepatic impairment (HI)/ renal impairment (RI). Participants will be enrolled into one of 5 groups based on their hepatic or renal function. During the treatment period participants will have study visits on days 1, 4, 8, 15, 22, and 28 of Cycle 1, on days 1 and 15 of Cycle 2 and 3, and on day 1 of each additional cycle. Each cycle is 28 consecutive days of treatment and cycles will be continuous until the end of the study. Approximately 30 days after treatment has ended, a safety follow-up visit will occur. Study visits may include blood tests, ECG, vital signs, and a physical examination.

The aim of this project is to learn about how a change in diet will affect sleepiness, quality of life and metabolic health in people living with narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia. The dietary changes we will be testing are well researched and safe in a wide range of patient groups (such as in obesity, type one and two diabetes, cancer and dysfunction related to the nervous system) but has not been researched in conditions of hypersomnolence such as narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia. It is important to test adjunct therapies and lifestyle changes such as dietary interventions to ensure that people living with hypersomnolence have a range of options in addition to medications, to improve their health. If effective, this project will be tested in more people and may become a part of routine patient care. These dietary approaches have been shown to improve health and quality of life in people living with chronic pain, neurological conditions such as epilepsy and have been shown to be safe in these populations as well as people living with type one diabetes. This is a new area of research for people living with hypersomnolence.

The main objective of the study is to compare the efficacy of tarlatamab in combination with durvalumab, carboplatin and etoposide to the combination of durvalumab, carboplatin and etoposide on prolonging overall survival (OS).

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a common type of lung cancer where abnormal cells in the lungs grow out of control. The purpose of this study is to assess adverse events and change in disease activity "when telisotuzumab adizutecan is given in combination with a fixed dose of osimertinib (Osi)or standard of care (Osi plus platinum/pemetrexed chemotherapy). Telisotuzumab adizutecan is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of NSCLC. Osi is a drug approved for the treatment of NSCLC. This study will be divided into two stages, in the first stage participants will receive increasing doses of telisotuzumab adizutecan with Osi. Participants will then be randomized into 4 groups called treatment arms where 3 groups will receive 1 of 3 doses of telisotuzumab adizutecan from from the dose escalation phase with Osi, or standard of care (Osi plus chemotherapy). In the second stage participants will receive the optimal dose of telisotuzumab adizutecan, from the previous stage, with Osi, or SOC. Approximately 854 adult participants with 1L estimated glomerular filtration rate (EGFR) mut (mutated) not sufficient quantity (NSq) NSCLC will be enrolled in the study in 200 sites worldwide. In Stage 1, during dose escalation participants will receive increasing intravenous (IV) doses of telisotuzumab adizutecan with oral Osi tablets. participants will receive 1 of 3 doses of telisotuzumab adizutecan with Osi, or standard of care (Osi plus chemotherapy). In stage 2 participants will receive the optimal dose of IV telisotuzumab adizutecanin with oral Osi tablet, or SOC. The study will run for a duration of approximately 76 months. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires and side effects.

TREAT-GNB is an innovative trial to expedite the evaluation of various antibiotic choices and treatment strategies for severe multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections, specifically bloodstream and lower respiratory tract infections. This approach combines platform trial elements with adaptive clinical designs to streamline the evaluation of various treatment options and optimise resource utilisation. The overall aim of the TREAT-GNB platform trial is to identify interventions that improve survival in patients with severe infections due to Gram-negative bacteria. In the CR-GNB silo of TREAT-GNB, the primary objective is to quantify the effect on all-cause mortality at 28 days of a range of interventions in patients with bloodstream infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and hospital-acquired pneumonia caused by CR-GNB.
