Phase 2 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, immunogenicity, and pharmacodynamics of solrikitug in adult participants with eosinophilic esophagitis.

This is a study to learn if the experimental medicine (called PF-07054894) is safe, effective, and how it is processed in adult people with ulcers in the colon.

This is parallel, Phase 4 study which consists of a 24 week (0.5 years) randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, 2-arm treatment period followed by an open label segment of 104 weeks (2 years) for a total of 128 weeks (2.5 years) to evaluate the effect of dupilumab treatment on esophageal function, and remodeling in adults with eosinophilic esophagitis.

Duration of study period (per participant)

* Screening period: Up to 12 weeks before Week 0
* Randomized double-blind period: 24 weeks
* Open label period: 104 weeks
* Post Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) intervention follow-up period: up to 12 weeks or until the participants switch to commercialized dupilumab, whatever comes first.

There will be ten (10) site visits, and five (5) direct-to-participant IMP delivery visits (except if prohibited by local regulatory authorities or if participant is not willing. In this case, IMP will be dispensed at the study site).

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of barzolvolimab in adult Eosinophilic Esophagitis patients.

This is a multicenter, randomized, placebo controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ABX464 given at 25 or 50 mg QD in inducing clinical remission in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who have inadequate response, no response, a loss of response, or an intolerance to either conventional therapies \[corticosteroids, immunosuppressant (i.e. azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, methotrexate)\] and/or advanced therapies \[biologics (TNF inhibitors, anti-integrins, anti-IL-23), and/or S1P receptor modulators, and/or JAK inhibitors\].

This study is to evaluate the Pharmacodynamic (PD), safety, tolerability, Pharmacokinetic (PK), and plasma biomarker response of KAN-101 in participants with Celiac Disease (CeD).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ozanimod (RPC1063) in achieving and maintaining clinical remission. Ozanimod will be administered orally to pediatric participants with moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis (UC) who have had an inadequate response to conventional therapy.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter, phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tezepelumab administered subcutaneously (SC) using an accessorized pre-filled syringe (APFS) versus placebo in adult and adolescent patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common complication of obesity which can progress to deadly complications like end-stage liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. In the wake of the obesity epidemic, NAFLD is becoming the main etiology of liver transplantation in the US. Currently, there are no FDA approved pharmacological treatments for NAFLD. Weight loss through lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy and bariatric surgery can be effective strategies for the management of NAFLD. Even though substantial weight loss and improvement in NAFLD can be achieved with bariatric surgery, only a small proportion of patients with obesity undergo surgery. Very-low calorie diets (VLCD) are replacement meals manufactured to substitute natural foods and limited total intake of 800-960 kcal in divided meals. Very low-calorie diets can produce substantial weight loss of 10% over 2 to 3 months. We hypothesize that VLCD reduce liver steatosis and, fibrosis measured non-invasively with transient elastography. Our main aim is #1 to assess the effect of VLCD on liver fatty infiltration and fibrosis. We also have three exploratory aims exploring novel pathogenic factors that mediate the improvement of NAFLD by VLCD: #2 assess the effect of VLCD on micro RNAs (miRs) associated with pathophysiology of NAFLD: #3 assess the effect of VLCD on changes of salivary and fecal microbiome in the setting of NAFLD: #4 to determine the effect of VLCD on platelet function. This pilot project will produce preliminary data for the development of a larger grant application to study the efficacy of VLCD in the management of NAFLD. Furthermore, it will potentially identify factors that mediate improvement of NAFLD after VLCD. We will treat 10 subjects with obesity and NAFLD for 8 weeks with VLCD or lower calorie diet (control group) and obtain transient elastography before and after the interventions along with other measurements of interest. Our project may have significant impact by establishing VLCD as a clinically effective option for the improvement of liver steatosis and fibrosis in patients with obesity and NAFLD ineligible or without access to bariatric surgery.
