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.
The Prophylactic Antibiotic Regimens in Tumor Surgery (PARITY) trial is the first ever international multi-center randomized controlled trial in bone cancer surgery. In order to avoid amputation for bone cancer in the leg, complex limb-saving operations are performed. However, infections with devastating complications following surgery are common. Surgeons from across the world will randomize patients to receive either short- or long-duration antibiotic regimens after surgery with the goal of identifying the best regimen to reduce these infections.
The objective of this study is to compare the progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), time to treatment failure (TTF), duration of response (DoR), quality of life, safety and tolerability of tivozanib in combination with mFOLFOX6 and bevacizumab in combination with mFOLFOX6.
Primary objective: Determine whether mipomersen (ISIS 301012) significantly reduces atherogenic lipid levels in patients with severe heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (severe HeFH), defined as low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels ≥200 mg/dL plus the presence of coronary heart disease (CHD)/risk equivalents or LDL-C levels ≥300 mg/dL regardless of the presence of CHD/risk equivalents (referred to as Cohort 1) compared to placebo. Two different mipomersen dosing regimens will be studied: subcutaneous (SC) mipomersen 200 mg once weekly versus placebo, and SC mipomersen 70 mg thrice weekly versus placebo. Secondary Objectives: - Determine whether there are qualitative differences between the safety profiles of the 2 dosing regimens and placebo in Cohort 1, patients with HeFH with LDL-C levels ≥160 mg/dL and <200 mg/dL plus the presence of CHD/risk equivalents (referred to as Cohort 2), and the overall study population - Determine whether there are qualitative differences between the tolerability of the 2 dosing regimens and placebo in Cohort 1, Cohort 2, and the overall study population - Further characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the 2 dosing regimens in Cohort 1, Cohort 2, and the overall study population - Determine whether the 2 mipomersen dosing regimens significantly reduce atherogenic lipid levels in Cohort 2 compared to placebo - Obtain additional data regarding ongoing safety and efficacy of mipomersen in patients with FH and inadequately controlled LDL-C who complete the primary efficacy assessment visit (PET) in the Blinded Treatment Period and continue treatment in Open-Label Continuation Period
The purpose of this study is to assess whether the risk of serious asthma-related events (asthma-related hospitalizations, endotracheal intubations, and deaths) in adolescents and adults (12 years of age and older) taking inhaled fluticasone propionate/salmeterol combination is the same as those taking inhaled fluticasone propionate alone.

The main objective of this study is to compare efficacy and safety of Metvix® natural daylight photodynamic therapy with those of Metvix® conventional photodynamic therapy with Aktilite™ lamp in subjects with mild actinic keratoses (intra-individual comparison).
This is an open-label, sequential dose exploration study of single agent AMG 595 administered in subjects with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and/or anaplastic astrocytomas (AA). The purpose of the study is to evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of AMG 595, and also to evaluate the objective response rate in subjects receiving AMG 595. This study will be conducted in two parts. Part 1 will explore doses of AMG 595 in subjects with recurrent GBM and/or AA. Part 2 (dose expansion) will examine the MTD established in Part 1 in subjects with recurrent GBM.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of LY2439821 compared to placebo in participants with moderate to severe, chronic plaque psoriasis.
The DUAL-1 study is designed as a multicenter, double-blind two-period study with an initial fixed 16-week Period 1, followed by a Period 2 of variable duration. All patients completing Period 1 will continue on their original randomized treatment into Period 2, until the last randomized patient has completed Period 1. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio (macitentan 3mg: macitentan 10mg: placebo). The primary objective is to demonstrate the effect of macitentan on the reduction of the number of new digital ulcers in patients with systemic sclerosis and ongoing digital ulcers. Other objectives include: - the evaluation of the efficacy of macitentan on hand functionality and DU burden at Week 16 in SSc patients with ongoing DU disease. - the evaluation of the safety and tolerability of macitentan in these patients. - the evaluation of the efficacy of macitentan on time to first DU complication during the entire treatment period.
This clinical study will assess the doses of BKM120 appropriate for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma when given in combination with radiotherapy and temozolomide.
The purpose of this study is to see whether teriparatide, given for 6 months versus placebo, will improve the healing of hip (femoral neck) fractures that are repaired during surgery using certain types of orthopedic screws. The study will enroll men and postmenopausal women at least 50 years of age with a recent hip (femoral neck) fracture caused by low-trauma (for example, fall from standing height or less).
