This study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of alectinib in children and adolescents with ALK fusion-positive solid or CNS tumors for whom prior treatment has proven to be ineffective or for whom there is no satisfactory standard treatment available.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from the killing of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells by cells of the immune system. The study aims to slow the progressive, immune-mediated loss of insulin-producing beta cells that occurs after clinical presentation. The investigators have identified a pathway that is important for immune cells to kill beta cells, and a drug that will block this pathway and prevent beta cell death. This drug, baricitinib, is already in clinical use for rheumatoid arthritis, and is currently in clinical trials for other diseases, including childhood autoimmune diseases. It is hypothesized that baricitinib treatment for 48 weeks will preserve beta cell function in children and young adults with recently-diagnosed T1D. The trial aims to recruit 83 participants aged 10-30 years who have been recently diagnosed with T1D. Two thirds of the participants will be randomly assigned to receive baricitinib, one third will receive placebo. The trial will test if baricitinib can slow the progressive loss of insulin-producing beta cells in these patients. The primary objective is to determine if baricitinib can reduce the loss of meal-stimulated plasma C-peptide, a measure of beta-cell function. Maintaining endogenous insulin in recent-onset T1D improves glucose control and may lead to long-term improvements in glucose and lower rates of serious diabetes complications and death.

Sonova Hearing Systems pass through different development and study stages. At an early stage, feasibility studies are conducted to investigate new algorithms, features and functions in an isolated manner. If the benefit is proven, their performance is then investigated regarding interdependency between all available algorithms, features and functions running in parallel in a hearing aid (pivotal/pre-validation studies) and, as a result, they get optimized. Afterwards, and prior to product launch, the Sonova Hearing Systems undergo a final quality control in terms of clinical trials. This is a confirmatory study, investigating benefits of a modified hearing aid loudspeaker. This will be a clinical investigation which will be conducted mono centric at National Acoustic Laboratories a well known institution with exceptional experience (Australia).

The Low dose ColchicinE in pAtients with peripheral Artery DiseasE to address residual vascular Risk (LEADER-PAD) trial will evaluate if anti-inflammatory therapy with colchicine will reduce vascular events in patients with symptomatic peripheral artery disease.

This is a Phase 1/2, multicenter, open-label trial of avapritinib in participants 2 to \< 18 years of age with advanced relapsed/refractory (R/R) solid tumors, including central nervous system (CNS) tumors, that harbor a PDGFRA and/or KIT mutation (including non-synonymous point mutations, insertions, and deletions) or amplification, or DMG-H3K27a who have no available curative treatment options. This is a single-arm trial in which all participants will receive avapritinib. The study consists of 2 parts: dose confirmation, safety, and PK (Part 1) and initial efficacy, safety, and PK at the Part 2 recommended dose (Part 2).

The purpose of this pediatric study is to evaluate the drug levels, efficacy and safety of Deucravacitinib in pediatric participants aged 4 to \<18 years with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. This study includes two cohorts; Cohort 1 (age 12 to \<18 years) and Cohort 2 (age 4 to \<12 years), with two parts; for each cohort. Part A will evaluate the drug levels of BMS-986165 to enable selection of 2 dose levels to be studied in Part B. Part B will assess the efficacy and safety of two dose levels in pediatric participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. The 5-year long-term extension (LTE) period will observe the long-term safety and tolerability of deucravacitinib in pediatric participants with psoriasis who have completed Parts A or B of the study.

This study is open for men and women with a liver disease called nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and liver fibrosis. The purpose of the study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 456906 helps patients with NASH and liver fibrosis. The study tests 3 different doses of BI 456906 to find the dose that helps best. Participants are put into 4 groups randomly, which means by chance. There are 3 groups that each receive a different dose of BI 456906 and there is 1 group that receives placebo. BI 456906 and placebo are given as an injection under the skin once per week. The placebo injection looks like the BI 456906 injection but does not contain any medicine. Participants are in the study for a little over 1 year (60 weeks). During this time, they visit the study site several times and have some video calls in addition. At the visits, the study doctors take different measurements. To see whether the treatment works, the doctors take a very small sample of liver tissue (biopsy) from each participant at the start and at the end of the study. They also examine the liver by ultrasound and MRI. The doctors also regularly check the general health of the participants.

This is a single arm, multi-center study to assess the safety and efficacy of a form of extracorporeally induced lithotripsy, called the Enhanced Lithotripsy System, to treat urinary stones.

The study will determine the safety, tolerability, recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and preliminary efficacy of BGB-11417 as monotherapy and in combination with azacitidine in participants with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)or MDS/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) .

This is a phase 3, open-label, multicenter, extension study to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of pegcetacoplan (APL-2) in subjects with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) who participated in Study APL2-103 (NCT03777332) or completed the treatment at Month 24 of either Study APL2-303 (Derby, NCT03525613) or Study APL2-304 (Oaks, NCT03525600).
