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.
Cognitive rehabilitation involves enhancing an individual's capacity to process information to improve their everyday functioning. One common form of intervention is computerised cognitive training (CT); however, efficacy results have been mixed. This research aims to investigate a novel method for enhancing outcomes from CT through combining CT with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive and painless form of brain stimulation. In this study we aim to determine the efficacy of this approach through comparing in a randomized controlled study tDCS combined with CT versus CT and tDCS alone in healthy participants. We hypothesise that tDCS combined with CT will have greater generalisability effects than the other conditions.
This open-label, randomized study will assess the efficacy and safety of obinutuzumab (RO5072759) in combination with chemotherapy compared to rituximab (MabThera/Rituxan) with chemotherapy followed by obinutuzumab or rituximab maintenance in participants with untreated advanced indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. After the end of the induction period, participants achieving response (Complete response [CR] or partial response [PR]) will undergo a maintenance period continuing on the randomized antibody treatment alone every 2 months until disease progression for a total of 2 years. Anticipated time on study treatment is up to approximately 2.5 years. After maintenance or observation, participants will be followed for 5 years until progression. After progression, participants will be followed for new anti-lymphoma therapy and overall survival until the end of the study.
This randomized, open-label, multi-center study will evaluate the sustained virological response, pharmacokinetics and safety of various combinations of danoprevir/ritonavir with Copegus plus RO5024048 and/or Pegasys in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection. Patients will be divided into 2 separate cohorts. Cohort A, previous partial responders, will be randomized to Groups 1-3 and cohort B, previous null responders, will be randomized to Groups 4-6. Patients in all groups will receive danoprevir 100 mg twice a day and ritonavir 100 mg twice a day for 24 weeks. In addition, Groups 1 and 4 will receive RO5024048 1000 mg twice a day and Copegus 1000 mg or 1200 mg twice a day for 24 weeks; Group 2 will receive Pegasys 180 microgram subcutaneously once weekly and Copegus 1000 mg or 1200 mg twice a day for 24 weeks; Groups 3, 5 and 6 will receive RO5024048 1000 mg twice a day, Pegasys 180 microgram subcutaneously once weekly and Copegus 1000 mg or 1200 mg twice a day for 24 weeks. In addition, patients in Group 6 will receive another 24 weeks of Pegasys plus Copegus treatment.
To determine the efficacy of intravitreally (IVT) administered VEGF Trap-Eye on the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) assessed by the early treatment diabetic retinopathy study (ETDRS) chart in subjects with diabetic macular edema (DME) with central involvement
The objective of the REACT trial is to investigate the effect of roflumilast 500 μg tablets once daily versus placebo on exacerbation rate and pulmonary function in COPD patients who are concomitantly treated with a fixed combination of long-acting β2-agonists (LABA) and inhaled glucocorticosteroids (ICS). In addition, data on safety and tolerability of roflumilast will be obtained. An additional objective is to further characterize the population pharmacokinetic profile of roflumilast and roflumilast N oxide and to further characterize their pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) relationship in terms of efficacy and relevant safety aspects. Patients to be included are required to have severe COPD associated with chronic bronchitis and a history of frequent exacerbations and must be concomitantly treated with a fixed combination of LABA and ICS. Two parallel treatment arms (roflumilast 500 μg once daily and placebo) are included.
This is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter study evaluating the safety and PK profile of ABT-199 under a once daily dosing schedule. Two arms will be implemented for dose escalation: Arm A, CLL/SLL subjects and Arm B, NHL subjects. Arm A is designed to enroll approximately 116 subjects with relapsed or refractory CLL or SLL and Arm B is designed to enroll approximately 95 subjects with relapsed or refractory NHL. Fifty-six subjects were enrolled in Arm A and approximately 55 subjects will be enrolled in Arm B during the dose escalation portion of the study, with the objective of defining dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) and the MTD. Once the MTD is declared for the arm, approximately 60 additional CLL/SLL subjects in Arm A and approximately 20 additional DLBCL subjects and 20 additional follicular lymphoma subjects in Arm B will be enrolled in an expanded safety portion of the study at the recommended phase 2 dose (RPTD) and schedule.
This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter, Phase 3 study comparing the efficacy and safety of eribulin with dacarbazine in subjects with advanced soft tissue sarcoma who have disease progression within 6 months prior to study enrolment following standard therapies which must have included an anthracycline, unless contraindicated and then at least one additional regimen after failure of the anthracycline.
Main Study (CACZ885M2301): The purpose of the pivotal phase of this trial was to test the hypothesis that canakinumab treatment of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) at least one month prior to study entry and elevated hsCRP could prevent recurrent cardiovascular events. The purpose of the extension phase of the main study is to collect additional long-term safety data on continued exposure to canakinumab in patients who participated in the pivotal phase. Sub-study 1 (CACZ885M2301S1): The purpose of this sub-study was to evaluate the effect of quarterly subcutaneous canakinumab treatment for 24 months comparted with placebo on the carotid plaque burden measured by integrated vascular MRI in patients enrolled in the CACZ885M2301 study (CANTOS). Sub-study 2 (CACZ885M2301S2): The purpose of this CANTOS sub-study was to determine whether, in patients with type 2 diabetes participating in the CANTOS main study, canakinumab compared to placebo, on top of standard of care could increase insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity.
This study assessed the efficacy and safety of oral treatment with two dose levels of LDE225 in patients with locally advanced or metastatic BCC.
This randomized, multicenter, open label study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of RO5083945 in combination with FOLFIRI as compared to FOLFIRI plus cetuximab or FOLFIRI alone as second line treatment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Patients will be randomized to receive RO5083945 (1400 mg intravenously on Day 1 and Day 8 and every 2 weeks thereafter) plus FOLFIRI standard iv chemotherapy or FOLFIRI plus cetuximab (400 mg/m2 iv on Day 1 followed by 250 mg/m2 iv every week) or FOLFIRI alone. Anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.
