The primary purpose of this study is to further characterise the hepatotoxicity in participants with advanced or unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with lenvatinib, and to further characterise the overall safety profile (serious adverse events \[SAEs\], grade 3 to 5 adverse events \[AEs\], dose modifications and discontinuations due to AEs) in participants with advanced or unresectable HCC treated with lenvatinib.

The primary objectives of the study are: To assess the safety profile of the study vaccines in each study intervention group. To assess the neutralizing antibody profile after primary series vaccination in SARS-CoV-2-naïve adults. To demonstrate that a booster dose of monovalent or bivalent SARS-CoV-2 vaccine given to adults previously vaccinated with an authorized/approved COVID-19 vaccine induces an immune response that is non-inferior to the response induced by a twodose priming series with the monovalent vaccine, and superior to that observed immediately before booster. The secondary objectives of the study are: To assess the neutralizing and binding antibody profiles after primary series vaccination at pre-defined time points during the study. To assess the neutralizing and binding antibody responses of booster vaccination. To describe the occurrences of laboratory-confirmed symptomatic COVID19 after primary series and booster vaccination. To describe the occurrences of serologically-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection after primary series vaccination.

This study is open to adults with a chronic inflammatory skin disease called hidradenitis suppurativa. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called spesolimab helps people with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa. Participants are put into 2 groups by chance. One group takes spesolimab. The other group takes placebo. Every participant has twice the chance of being in the spesolimab group than in the placebo group. Participants get spesolimab or placebo as an infusion into a vein every week for the first 3 weeks. Afterwards, they get spesolimab or placebo as injections under the skin every 2 weeks. Placebo infusions and injections look like spesolimab infusions and injections but do not contain any medicine. Participants are treated in the study for about 3 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 9 times. After completing this part of the study, participants are offered to join another clinical study in which all participants get spesolimab. Participants who cannot join the other study, stay in this study for about 4 more months. During this time, participants do not take spesolimab nor placebo but they visit the study site 2 times to have their health checked. At study visits, doctors thoroughly check the skin of participants to count lumps (nodules) and boils (abscesses). The results between the spesolimab group and the placebo group are compared after 3 months of treatment. The doctors also regularly check the general health of the participants.

A parallel, single-blinded, multi-centre randomized controlled trial conducted at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) and the Mary Mackillop Institute for Health Research (MMIHR; Australian Catholic University), by researchers from the University of Adelaide, Australian Catholic University and La Trobe University.

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the excessive endogenous production of the mineralocorticoid aldosterone. Although various rare forms of PA exist, the vast majority of cases are accounted by either an aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) or bilateral adrenal hyperplasia. During the last decades the prevalence of PA has risen, predominantly due to better awareness of disease. Several studies estimated a prevalence of PA up to 17% in an unselected population of hypertensive patients. However, in a population with resistant hypertension the reported prevalence is even higher: 17-23%. This emphasizes the clinical impact of PA on morbidity and mortality due to high blood pressure. Since both hypertension and aldosteronism are independent risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity, the aim of treatment is curation or reduction of both. After an adrenalectomy for APA normalization of biochemical abnormalities is achieved in almost all cases. Nevertheless, curation of hypertension (systolic blood pressure \<140 and diastolic blood pressure \<90 mmHg) without the need of antihypertensive medication is accomplished in only 35-45% of the cases. In 2008 the Aldosteronoma Resolution Score (ARS) was developed. This score predicts the likelihood of complete resolution of the hypertension in patients with an aldosteronoma and has been validated by other investigator groups. Reduction of hypertension is also an important clinical outcome and is reported in 90-98% of the patients after surgery. In most studies reduction is defined as a certain decrease in blood pressure or antihypertensive medication. However, there is no consensus on the precise definition of reduction in these patients, which leads to incomparable results. The aim of the proposed study is to determine the proportion of patients with clinically relevant reduction of hypertension after adrenalectomy in a large cohort. Furthermore, the investigators aim to determine the characteristics predicting this clinically relevant reduction. Additionally, the investigators evaluate the predictive value of the Aldosteronoma Resolution Score for clinically relevant reduction and aim to develop a scoring system to help clinicians predict the likelihood of reduction of hypertension after adrenalectomy so it can be used for patient counseling.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of long-term administration of flexible doses of tavapadon in participants with Parkinson's Disease.

This phase III trial compares the effects of nivolumab with chemo-immunotherapy versus chemo-immunotherapy alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Treatment for PMBCL involves chemotherapy combined with an immunotherapy called rituximab. Chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody. It binds to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some types of cancer cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Giving nivolumab with chemo-immunotherapy may help treat patients with PMBCL.

ASN51-101 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 1 first in human (FIH) safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) study of oral ASN51 in healthy young adult and elderly subjects and elderly subjects with AD. The study is comprised of three parts (Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3).
