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 study will evaluate the anti-cancer effects of crizotinib when compared with standard chemotherapy in patients with ALK positive lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether GSK2402968 given as a continuous dose and as an intermittent dose is effective and safe in the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
BRF113710 is a Phase II, single-arm, open-label study to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of GSK2118436 administered twice daily as a single agent in subjects with BRAF mutant metastatic melanoma. Subjects will receive 150 mg of GSK2118436 twice daily and continue on treatment until disease progression, death, or unacceptable adverse event.
The primary aim of the DahLIA trial is to determine, in patients with ICU-associated delirium and agitation who are otherwise pathophysiologically stable (as defined), the number of ventilator-free hours in the incident ICU admission in the 7 days following commencement of trial medication, in patients randomised to receive dexmedetomidine or placebo while receiving all other aspects of standard care. The null hypothesis assumes no difference in the median number of ventilator-free hours in this ICU admission in the following 7 days, between patients receiving dexmedetomidine and placebo for ICU-associated agitation and delirium.
This study was a Phase II, single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to determine whether anti-vWF Nanobody is safe and effective as adjunctive treatment in patients with aTTP. Patients received either placebo or anti-vWF Nanobody as adjunctive therapy to plasma exchange (PE).
This is a multi-center, observational, 1-year prospective cohort study (1 year follow-up, at 3, 6 and 12 month) with approximately 675 participants. We will conduct a thorough outcomes assessment utilizing data from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans, as well as pre-procedure and follow-up data. Scans will be blinded to location of participating site. MRI scans will be sequenced and analyzed as they arrive from the database. Imaging Protocol: All patients will undergo a Delayed-Enhancement MRI (DE-MRI) within 30 days prior to the atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedure. The purpose of the initial MRI is to quantify the degree of atrial structural remodeling or fibrosis pre-ablation. Following ablation, DE-MRI will be obtained at 3, 6, and 12 months follow-up to detect and quantify ablation-related scar formation. Clinical Follow-up: The institution where the ablation was performed will continue post-procedural care following standard of care procedures. Atrial arrhythmia recurrences will be catalogued up to one year post-ablation and predictors of recurrences of AF will be determined by statistical analysis. The specific mechanism and electrophysiological characteristics of atrial arrhythmia recurrence will also be analyzed. Our hypotheses are (1) DE-MRI will reproducibly stage the progression left atrium fibrosis in AF; (2) DE-MRI will reproducibly aid in quantifying and identifying the distribution of catheter ablation-related scarring in the left atrium; and (3) the stage of left atrium fibrosis pre-ablation and the amount and location of scarring will predict success of catheter ablation therapy for AF.
The reason for this extension is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of two concentration-controlled everolimus regimen in de novo liver transplant recipients. The most important long-term safety assessments include evaluation of renal function, progression of HCV related allograft fibrosis, and other treatment related effects at Month 36 post-transplantation compared to extension baseline (Months 24 post-transplantation).
This is an international, randomized, controlled, parallel group study in which patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) will be allocated to one of the following: Manual aspiration thrombectomy with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) or PCI alone.
The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of elacytarabine versus investigator's choice treatment in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Primary Objective: - To demonstrate that lixisenatide can reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality [composite endpoint of cardiovascular (CV) death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), non-fatal stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina] compared to placebo in type 2 diabetic patients who recently experienced an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event. Secondary Objectives: To demonstrate that when compared to placebo, lixisenatide can reduce: - composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina, or hospitalization for heart failure - composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina, hospitalization for heart failure, or coronary revascularization procedure - urinary albumin excretion (based on the urinary albumin/creatinine ratio). To assess the safety and tolerability of lixisenatide.
