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 primary objective of this study is to compare two doses of BI 1744 CL inhalation solution delivered by the Respimat® inhaler once daily to placebo in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The safety of BI 1744 CL inhalation solution delivered through the Respimat inhaler will also be compared to placebo.
The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of twice daily (bid) oral midostaurin in patients with Aggressive Systemic Mastocytosis (ASM) or Mast Cell Leukemia (MCL) with or without an Associated Hematological clonal Non-Mast cell lineage Disease (AHNMD).
This study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy profile, in two different dose regimens of Edoxaban (DU-176b), (an investigational new drug being tested for the prevention of stroke/systemic embolic events (SEE)), in individuals with atrial fibrillation. Patients will be randomized to one of three treatment groups: High Dose Regimen, Low Dose Regimen, & Warfarin. The expected duration of the study is 24 months.
In this study, we are experimentally investigating the assessment of forces used by skilled clinicians and beginning practitioners in palpatory techniques. The study will assess pressure used during palpatory diagnosis of the paraspinal region.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of an investigational meningococcal B rLP2086 vaccine in adults and to obtain blood samples from immunized subjects for use in assay development.
This trial will use a new method of treating lymphoma using a therapy derived from a person's Killer T cells. These Killer T cells are taken from a person's blood and grown in a test tube to increase the number of these cells that are specifically active against the lymphoma cells. The cells are then given to the patient by intravenous infusion with the aim of killing the lymphoma cells. Potentially this treatment will help to kill the residual/recurrent tumour that is present after other lymphoma treatment and reduce the chance of the tumour recurring.
The aim of the present study is to investigate whether women taking a new combined oral contraceptive pill (SH T00658ID, estradiol valerate/dienogest) experience fewer hormone withdrawal-associated symptoms such as pelvic pain or headache during their monthly cycle compared to a commonly used contraceptive pill (Microgynon).
The primary objective of this study is to monitor the long-term safety of ambrisentan in adult participants with pulmonary hypertension. The available ambrisentan doses for this study are 2.5, 5, or 10 mg administered orally once daily. Investigators will be able to adjust ambrisentan dose as clinically indicated. A minimum of 4 weeks between dose adjustments is required. Participants receiving other therapies for pulmonary hypertension that are not contraindicated for concomitant use with ambrisentan are permitted to enroll in this study and continue to receive such therapies. Participants enrolled in this study will receive treatment with ambrisentan until such time as the investigator or participant chooses to stop ambrisentan treatment, ambrisentan becomes commercially available, or the sponsor stops the study.
This study will involve 70 patients who attend the Alfred Hospital with acute or chronic heart failure as well as 30 age and gender matched control subjects. All participants will have their history taking and a physical examination to detect symptoms and signs of heart failure. The main objectives are for determining the benefit and usefulness of Fibroscan (Liver scan) in detecting liver stiffness (a condition caused by excess fluid build up in the liver which has a negative impact on the livers ability to function properly) in heart failure patients and for characterizing the incidence and severity of liver stiffness in this group of patients. After informed consent, a blood sample will be taken from all patients to assess their full blood examination, glucose, lipid profiles, renal function and so on. Then 24-48 hours after enrollment, the liver doctors will do the liver scan (Fibroscan) by transient elastography. All the data are recorded and further analysis will be assessed. In a small group of acute patients the blood tests and liver scan will be repeated just prior to their discharge. Optional Sub-study: For participants who consent to the optional sub-study another 20 ml of blood for serum liver fibrotic markers will be collected.
This is a study of an experimental drug (neratinib) versus a combination of drugs (lapatinib and capecitabine) in women who have erbB-2 (HER-2) positive metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer. The goal of this study is to compare the two regimens in shrinking tumors and extending the lives of women with erbB2 (HER2) positive breast cancer. The study will also compare the safety of the two regimens and to compare quality of life of patients taking the two regimens.
