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.
This is a prospective observational study investigating how physicians assess the risk of febrile neutropenia (FN) developing in patients who will receive chemotherapy. Approximately 150-200 investigators will take part in about 100 sites in Europe, Canada and Australia. Approximately 1000 subjects will be studied, all of whom will have non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), small cell lung cancer (SCLC), non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) or breast cancer and will be due to receive one of the specific chemotherapy regimens of interest. Investigators' approach to FN risk assessment will be studied using lists of possible risk factors they may consider during their assessment. Investigators will be asked to select and rank the factors they consider the most important when assessing the overall FN risk of a subject and when making the decision whether to treat with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) primary prophylaxis (PP). They will be asked to make these selections based initially on their own routine clinical practise and subsequently relating specifically to each subject recruited. This is a non-interventional study that involves no procedures outside normal care for the subjects; all data collection will be completed prior to chemotherapy administration.
After a stent procedure, it is common practice to prescribe anti-platelet medication to prevent the blood from clotting. The main objective of this study is to determine if there is a better medication strategy to prevent blood from clotting and at the same time minimising the number of complications. There are two medication strategies: - Study group: Dual anti-platelet therapy (ticagrelor combined with aspirin) for 1 month, and then ticagrelor alone for another 23 months OR - Control group: Standard treatment, being dual anti-platelet therapy (ticagrelor or clopidogrel combined with aspirin) for 12 months, and then aspirin alone indefinitely
This study will evaluate whether low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) lowering with evolocumab (AMG 145) results in greater change from baseline in percent atheroma volume (PAV) at week 78 than placebo in adults with coronary artery disease taking lipid lowering therapy.
This study is a randomised double blind placebo controlled trial comparing Rosuvastatin with placebo in HIV positive people who are at intermediate cardiovascular risk. It is possible that HIV positive people will receive a greater benefit from statins because of their higher baseline levels of inflammation. Current Australian guidelines recommend initiation of statin therapy on the basis of cholesterol level and the presence of other risk factors for heart disease (such as diabetes) but do not take into account whether a patient is infected with HIV. This study aims to determine what benefit HIV infected people will receive from starting statin therapy earlier then currently recommended.
This investigation is designed to provide supporting evidence for the clinical safety of the Ilesto/Iforia ICD (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator)system and the Evia/Entovis HF-T (Heart Failure) triple chamber pacemaker system when used under specific MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) conditions.
This is a randomized, multi-center, multinational, open-label, active-controlled, parallel design study of the combination of neratinib plus capecitabine versus the combination of lapatinib plus capecitabine in HER2+ MBC patients who have received two or more prior HER2 directed regimens in the metastatic setting.
This study will investigate the effects of altering the time of day of dosing (morning or evening) with Fluticasone Furoate 100 (FF 100) micrograms (mcg) once daily administered via a dry powder inhaler (DPI) in subjects with persistent bronchial asthma. This is a repeat-dose, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, three-way crossover study to compare the effect of morning (AM) and evening (PM) dosing with FF 100 on lung function. Twenty-four male and female subjects with persistent bronchial asthma will be enrolled to ensure twenty evaluable subjects. The three treatments will be FF 100 AM (with placebo PM), FF 100 PM (with placebo AM) and matching placebo (AM and PM). All treatments will be administered for 14 (+/-2) days with 14 day run-in and 14 to 21 day washout periods. The total duration of the study will be approximately 13 to18 weeks for each subject.
This study will assess the serum uric acid lowering effects and safety of lesinurad in combination with febuxostat over a long-term timeframe.
This study will assess the serum uric acid lowering effects and safety of lesinurad in combination with allopurinol over a long-term timeframe.
The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of lumacaftor in combination with ivacaftor at Week 24 in participants aged 12 years and older with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are homozygous for the F508del mutation on the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene.
