A Study to Test Whether Nerandomilast Can Help Slow Down Changes in the Lung in People With a Family History of Pulmonary Fibrosis

Tests Nerandomilast, Placebo

For Familial Pulmonary Fibrosis, Interstitial Lung Abnormalities and Interstitial Lung Diseases

This study is open to people aged 40 years or older who have at least 1 family member with pulmonary fibrosis. Pulmonary fibrosis is a condition where lung tissue becomes scarred, making it harder to breathe. People can join if a lung scan shows early changes in the lung, called interstitial lung abnormalities, which may lead to lung scarring. People with family members who have pulmonary fibrosis are more likely to develop it themselves. That is why it is important to check early for lung changes and find ways to prevent the condition from getting worse. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called nerandomilast can help slow down changes in the lung in people with a family history of pulmonary fibrosis. Participants are put into one of 2 groups randomly, which means the group is chosen by chance. One group takes nerandomilast tablets, and the other group takes placebo tablets. Placebo tablets look like nerandomilast tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants take a tablet twice a day for about 2 to 3 years. There is a 3 out of 5 chance that participants will receive nerandomilast instead of the placebo. Participants are in the study for about 2 to 3 years. Participants visit the study site multiple times: more frequently during the first 2 years (about every 3 months), and then every 6 months thereafter. In the 3rd year, participants also have phone calls with the site staff every 3 months. Doctors regularly test lung function and take chest scans to see if the treatment works. The results are compared between the 2 groups to see if nerandomilast helps. The doctors also check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

The Myelin Disorders Biorepository Project

For Leukodystrophy, White Matter Disease, Leukoencephalopathies, 4H Syndrome and Adrenoleukodystrophy

The Myelin Disorders Biorepository Project (MDBP) seeks to collect and analyze clinical data and biological samples from leukodystrophy patients worldwide to support ongoing and future research projects. The MDBP is one of the world's largest leukodystrophy biorepositories, having enrolled nearly 2,000 affected individuals since it was launched over a decade ago. Researchers working in the biorepository hope to use these materials to uncover new genetic etiologies for various leukodystrophies, develop biomarkers for use in future clinical trials, and better understand the natural history of these disorders. The knowledge gained from these efforts may help improve the diagnostic tools and treatment options available to patients in the future.

A Study to Test Whether Nerandomilast Helps People With Systemic Sclerosis

Tests Placebo matching nerandomilast formulation 1, Placebo matching nerandomilast formulation 2, Nerandomilast formulation 1, Nerandomilast formulation 2

For Systemic Sclerosis

Nerandomilast is being developed to help people with systemic sclerosis by potentially improving symptoms and slowing disease progression. This study is open to adults who are at least 18 years old and have systemic sclerosis (SSc). People can join the study if they have limited or diffuse cutaneous SSc with disease onset within 7 years of the first non-Raynaud's symptom. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called nerandomilast helps people with systemic sclerosis. This study also aims to find out how well nerandomilast is tolerated in people with systemic sclerosis. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group takes nerandomilast tablets and the other group takes placebo tablets. Placebo tablets look like nerandomilast tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants take the tablets twice a day. Participants are in the study for 1 to about 4 years. During this time, they visit the study site regularly and get phone calls from the site staff. During study visits participants regularly have blood samples taken and doctors check changes in skin thickening, lung function, and internal organs, overall health and the safety and tolerability of study treatment in people with SSc. The results are compared between the groups to see whether the treatment works. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

Multiple Myeloma

Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells, the white blood cells that make antibodies.

How common: About 36,000 new US diagnoses expected in 2026 and roughly 203,000 people living with it, which puts myeloma right at the edge of the US rare disease threshold; it is 1.7% of all new cancers (NCI SEER)
