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 investigators are aiming to learn more about respiratory infections in young children in the community. To prepare for a larger project, the investigators are conducting this study to get information about the best way to collect and transport respiratory specimens from young children. The investigators would like to test whether parents are more likely to collect a simple respiratory specimen themselves during a child's illness, compared to the likelihood of specimen collection when a home visit is made by a health care worker. Further, the investigators want to compare the likelihood a virus will be identified in both groups.
The purpose of this pilot study is to perform a procedure to evaluate the safety of the placement of a new device (known as the VFIX device).
The primary objective is to demonstrate the non-inferiority at six months of a basal plus one insulin regimen (Lantus plus one injection of Apidra) compared with a biphasic insulin regimen (NovoMix 30) at controlling glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in type 2 diabetes. The secondary objective are: - To compare the proportion of patients in each treatment group reaching HbA1c target (< 7%) at the end of the treatment period - To compare the rates of hypoglycaemia (total, severe, nocturnal) - To compare the change in body weight from visit 10 to visit 24 - To compare the change in diabetes specific quality of life and other patient reported outcomes from visit 10 to visit 24 - Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire - status and change (DTSQs+c) - Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life (ADDQoL) questionnaire - Insulin Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (ITSQ) - EuroQoL 5 Dimensions (EQ5D) questionnaire - To record the change in the daily dose of insulin from visit 2 to visit 10 and visit 10 to visit 24
A research project is currently being undertaken looking at Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccination in special risk groups. It aims to see if young women with a chronic illness respond well to the HPV vaccine or whether they may require additional doses to ensure protective immunity. The four valent HPV vaccine protects against HPV types 16 & 18, cervical cancer and HPV types 6 & 11, anogenital warts. The six special risk groups include: Paediatric Rheumatological Disease Inflammatory Bowel Disease Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia Solid Organ Transplant Recipients (kidney and liver) Chronic Renal Disease Bone Marrow Transplants This immunity is measured by antibody levels of the HPV types, which requires a single blood test one month after the final dose of HPV vaccine. This is compared to healthy controls using antibody response to HPV vaccine. This will assess directly whether these special risk groups respond as well to the HPV vaccine.
This 2 part study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of 12 and 24 weeks treatment with RO5190591 (danoprevir) in combination with Pegasys and Copegus, compared to Pegasys and Copegus alone, in treatment-naive patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 virus infection.In Part 1 of the study, patients will be randomized to receive either 1) RO5190591 300mg po every 8 hours, 2) RO5190591 600mg po every 12 hours, 3) RO5190591 900mg po every 12 hours or 4) placebo, in combination with standard doses of Pegasys and Copegus. If the safety and virological response data from Part 1 of the study are supportive, in Part 2 patients will be randomized to receive either 1) RO5190591 300mg po every 8 hours or 600mg po every 12 hours or 900mg po every 12 hours or 2)placebo, in combination with standard doses of Pegasys and Copegus. The anticipated time on study treatment is 24-48 weeks, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
This study will evaluate the effect of etanercept on the clinical benefit, safety, and physical functioning (ability to function in daily life) in children and adolescent subjects with 3 subtypes of childhood arthritis.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of S-equol in menopausal patients with hot flushes and night sweats.
The purpose of this study is to obtain evidence of the safety of NNZ-2566 in healthy female volunteers and to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of NNZ-2566 in healthy female volunteers.
The primary objective of the study is to determine the safety/tolerability profile, systemic PK behavior, and immunogenicity of single IV and SC administrations of BG00010 to sciatica participants.
The purpose of this protocol is to determine how band fill volumes that are based on intraband pressure readings can influence the comfortability of the band and to compare weight loss with this methodology to weight loss with the conventional approach recommended in existing product labeling.
