STEER is a Novartis research study evaluating the clinical efficacy, safety and tolerability of OAV101 IT in patients with SMA Type 2 between 2 to <18 years of age who are able to sit but never walked and have never received treatment for SMA. This research study is a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, global Phase 3 clinical trial. In STEER, patients will be randomly assigned to one of two possible treatment groups, including: 1) Treatment with OAV101 IT 2) Sham procedure, a needle prick in the lower back without the administration of OAV101 IT Eligible patients who have the sham procedure in the first period of the study will receive OAV101 IT in the second period of the study.

The ALPHA-STAR Trial is an Astria Therapeutics, Inc., global trial evaluating STAR-0215, an investigational drug, as a potential long-acting treatment for prevention of hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks in participants with HAE types I and II. The trial will evaluate the safety and tolerability of STAR-0215, assess its effect on HAE attacks and quality of life, and study how it works in the body. Participants will be screened and enter an 8-week Run-In period to check if they had any HAE attacks. Following the Run-In period, participants will receive either one dose of STAR-0215 (Cohort 1) or two doses of STAR-0215 (Cohort 2) given three months apart via subcutaneous injection. Each group will be followed for 6 months after the final dose of STAR-0215 to assess for side effects, amount and activity of STAR-0215 in the bloodstream, and effects of STAR-0215 on HAE attacks. The study duration is around 7.5 months for Cohort 1 and around 10 months for Cohort 2.

Viridian Therapeutics is sponsoring phase 3 clinical study, THRIVE, exploring an investigational study drug called VRDN-001 as a potential new treatment for people living with thyroid eye disease (TED). In THRIVE, researchers are looking to better understand the safety of the study drug and how it may benefit adults, 18 years or older, diagnosed with active TED. THRIVE is a randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, global clinical study. Participants will attend study visits involving medical tests and exams over the course of about 52 weeks. During the first 15 weeks, participants will receive 5 infusions of study drug or placebo, once every 3 weeks. Infusions are given intravenously (IV), meaning through a vein in the arm, by a trained professional. For the last 37 weeks of the study, all participants will be monitored. Participants who do not experience benefit after the first 15 weeks may be eligible to enter a separate open-label extension study to receive the study drug.

The ATLAS Study is part of a larger clinical research effort to evaluate the safety, dosing, and efficacy of an investigational drug in people who have a confirmed SOD1 gene variant. This study will evaluate whether starting an investigational drug early (before clinical signs or symptoms that definitively indicate onset of ALS) will delay the appearance of signs or symptoms of ALS compared to placebo and/or reduce the loss of function over time as compared with starting the investigational drug once signs or symptoms appear. The investigational drug (BIIB067) is designed to target the SOD1 gene and potentially reduce the level of SOD1 protein in people with ALS who carry a confirmed SOD1 gene variant.

This is a multicenter study with 2 arms, and will include 3 phases: a) screening phase of up to 28 days before randomization during which participants will complete a 14-day washout period from all prior therapies including JAK-inhibitor treatment, and the participant's eligibility will be reviewed; b) treatment phase, from randomization until study treatment (imetelstat or BAT) discontinuation; and c) post treatment follow-up phase, that begins when the participant discontinues treatment, and will continue until death, lost to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or study end, whichever occurs first. Participants will be randomized (2:1) into 2 Arms (Arm A will receive imetelstat and Arm B will receive BAT). Participants who meet progressive disease criteria and discontinue BAT, may crossover to receive imetelstat treatment after sponsor's approval.

Janssen Research and Development, LLC is conducting vibrance-mg, a global clinical trial for pediatric patients from 2 to less than 18 years of age with generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG) whose disease is inadequately controlled using protocol-allowed, stable, standard-of-care therapy. The purpose of this study is to determine if nipocalimab, an investigational drug, is safe and effective for treating pediatric gMG, and to determine how long nipocalimab stays in and acts within the body. Participants will undergo a screening period followed by a 24-week treatment period. To be eligible for the vibrance-mg study, participants must be aged from 2 to less than 18 years of age, have a diagnosis of gMG and struggling with gMG symptoms despite receiving stable standard of care therapy.

Janssen Pharmaceuticals is conducting a phase 2/3 clinical trial, the ARISE Study, to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an investigational medication in adults with active CIDP. Participants must be an adult with a diagnosis of CIDP, and either be willing to stop treatment of intravenous immunoglobulin, subcutaneous immunoglobulin, and/or corticosteroids, OR be newly diagnosed, and have never been treated, or have not taken medication for CIDP for at least 3 months before enrolling. In the first portion, if eligible, you will receive the investigational medication through an IV infusion. If you qualify for a second part of the study, you will be randomly assigned to either the investigational medication or a placebo (no active drug). Participants who complete the first two parts of the study and are responding well may qualify for additional investigational medication. Study required medication and medical care will be given at no cost. Learn more here: Janssen Global Trial Finder.

The STARLIGHT Study is a Phase 3 clinical research study to evaluate an investigational drug (a drug not yet approved for clinical use) to see if it is safe and whether it may improve behavioral and cognitive function in children with Hunter syndrome, also known as MPS II. The study will compare the effects of the investigational drug to the current standard-of-care treatment. Approximately 80 participants will be enrolled, and they may be compensated for travel and expenses. Study participants who qualify and meet all eligibility criteria will receive either the investigational drug or the standard-of-care treatment, which is enzyme replacement therapy (known commercially as Elaprase®), through weekly IV infusions (through a vein). Participants will also undergo a variety of tests and procedures during the study, such as blood and image tests, cognitive testing, and lumbar punctures.

This is a multicentre, randomised, double-blind (DB), parallel-group, placebo-controlled, 24-week Phase III study to compare the efficacy and safety of benralizumab versus placebo administered by SC injection Q4W in patients with hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). This study comprises 2 distinct periods (together defined as the 'main study'): A 24-week, DB treatment period, during which patients will be randomised to receive either benralizumab or placebo, in addition to their prior stable HES background therapy, and an open-label extension (OLE) period, during which all patients will receive benralizumab. Patients will continue to be recruited until approximately 38 patients have had their first HES worsening/flare during the DB treatment period at which point the data cut-off for the primary database lock (DBL) will occur.

Study participants may be able to join the study if they are 16 years of age or older (18 years or older in the EU) and have a confirmed diagnosis of ADH1. The study includes a screening period of up to 6 weeks followed by an up to 15 week SoC optimization phase. After completion of SoC optimization phase, study participants will enter a 1 month SoC Maintenance period. Eligible study participants will then be randomly assigned to receive encaleret or SoC for approximately 6 months. Following completion of the study, participants may choose to enter the optional long-term extension portion of the study where all participants will receive encaleret for up to 4 years.
