There are about 10460 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Australia. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
Human Papilloma virus (HPV) are viruses that cause a common infection of the skin and genitals in men and women. Several types of HPV infection are transmitted by sexual activity and, in women, can infect the cervix (part of the uterus or womb). This infection often goes away by itself, but if it does not go away (this is called persistent infection), it can lead in women over a long period of time to cancer of the cervix. If a woman is not infected by HPV, it is very unlikely that she will get cervical cancer. This study will evaluate the efficacy of GSK Biologicals HPV 16/18 VLP/AS04 vaccine to prevent infection associated cervical pre-cancer and vaccine with HPV 16 or 18 and the vaccine safety, over 48 months, in young adolescents and women of 15/25 years of age at study start. Approximately 18.000 study subjects will either receive the HPV vaccine or a control vaccine (hepatitis A vaccine) administered intramuscularly according to a 0-1-6 month schedule. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.
This is a world wide study to evaluate the remission and joint damage in subjects treated with abatacept in addition to methotrexate versus subjects who receive methotrexate along with a placebo.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of an oral bisphosphonate (alendronate) in preventing bone loss in postmenopausal women with early breast cancer who are receiving anastrozole therapy, and to determine how long alendronate treatment is needed.
The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of eculizumab in transfusion dependent patients with hemolytic PNH.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of eculizumab in patients with transfusion dependent hemolytic PNH.
The primary objective is to evaluate the safety of eculizumab in patients with transfusion-dependent hemolytic PNH
Heart transplant patients on a standard care regimen of CNI, MMF, and corticosteroids will enter the study 4-6 weeks post-transplant. At 3 months after transplant, patients will be randomized to either continue this regimen or CNI therapy will be discontinued and replaced by sirolimus therapy (in combination with MMF and corticosteroids). The effect of these 2 regimens on efficacy, safety and renal function will be evaluated.The anticipated time on study treatment is 1-2 years and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn whether Saxagliptin added to Metformin therapy is more effective than Metformin alone as a treatment for type 2 diabetic subjects who are not sufficiently controlled with Metformin alone
The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn whether saxagliptin (BMS-477118) is more effective than placebo as a treatment for type 2 diabetic subjects who are not sufficiently controlled with diet and exercise
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two anti-craving medications, naltrexone versus acamprosate, in the treatment of alcohol dependence.
