Lupus nephritis is a chronic and life-threatening autoimmune cause of kidney disease that predominately impacts young people and can lead to kidney failure. Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors, including dapagliflozin, are known to improve outcomes for people with other causes of chronic kidney disease. This pilot and feasibility randomized clinical trial will test the use of dapagliflozin versus placebo in addition to standard of care treatment for patients with early and active lupus nephritis, a group who has not been included in past trials.

This study is open to people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF). They can only take part if they have completed treatment in a previous study with a medicine called nerandomilast or BI 1015550. The goal of this study is to find out how well people with pulmonary fibrosis tolerate long- term treatment with nerandomilast. The study also tests whether nerandomilast improves lung function and prolongs the time until symptoms get worse, participants need to go to the hospital, or die. Every participant takes nerandomilast as tablets for up to 1 year and 10 months. The participants may also continue their regular treatment for pulmonary fibrosis during the study. Participants visit their doctors regularly. During these visits, the doctors collect information on any health problems of the participants. Participants also regularly do lung function tests.

This study is researching an experimental drug called REGN5837 in combination with another drug, odronextamab (called "study drug[s]"), in patients with relapsed or refractory aggressive B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (B-NHLs). The study has 2 parts. The aim of the first part (dose escalation) is to find a safe dose of REGN5837 when given in combination with odronextamab. The goal of the second part (dose expansion) is to use the REGN5837 drug dose found in the first part to see how well REGN5837 in combination with odronextamab works. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: - What side effects may happen from taking the study drugs - How much study drug is in the blood at different times - Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drugs (that could make the drugs less effective or could lead to side effects)

Phase 1/2, dose escalation and expansion study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of neladalkib (NVL-655), determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), and evaluate the antitumor activity in patients with advanced ALK- positive (ALK+) NSCLC and other solid tumors. Phase 1 will evaluate the overall safety and tolerability of neladalkib and will determine the RP2D and, if applicable, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of neladalkib in patients with advanced ALK+ solid tumors. Phase 2 will determine the objective response rate (ORR) as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) of neladalkib at the RP2D. Secondary objectives will include the duration of response (DOR), time to response (TTR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and clinical benefit rate (CBR) of neladalkib in patients with advanced ALK-positive NSCLC and other solid tumors. A drug-drug interaction (DDI) sub-study will determine the effect of neladalkib on the pharmacokinetics of midazolam and repaglinide, as well as the effect of itraconazole on the pharmacokinetics of neladalkib, in patients with advanced ALK-positive NSCLC
