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 primary purpose of this study to determine if AZD2281 is effective and well tolerated in maintaining the improvement in your cancer after previous platinum-based chemotherapy
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of peginesatide injection for maintenance treatment of anemia in participants on peritoneal dialysis.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the effect of two doses of Teriflunomide, in comparison to placebo, on the frequency of multiple sclerosis (MS) relapses in patients with relapsing MS. Key secondary objective is to assess the effect of the two doses of teriflunomide, in comparison to placebo, on disability progression. Other secondary objectives are: - To assess the effect of the two doses of teriflunomide in comparison to placebo on: - Fatigue; - Health-related quality of life, a measure of the impact of the patient's health on his or her overall well being. - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of teriflunomide.
The study is a cross sectional, epidemiology study of disease severity for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis in four geographic regions in Australia (Illawarra, Sutherland, Hunter Urban and Hunter Rural).
This open-label, single arm study will investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of tocilizumab monotherapy, or combination therapy with non-biologic disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), in patients with severe active RA. Patients will receive tocilizumab 8mg/kg iv as a 60 minute infusion every 4 weeks for a total of 6 infusions. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is >500 individuals.
Colonoscopy is the gold standard investigation for assessing the lining of the colon. Colon cleansing preparations are required to be taken prior to colonoscopy to provide effective visualisation and identification of any abnormalities and different types of colon cleansing preparations exist. Some colon cleansing preparations have been shown to cause visible changes in the lining of the bowel which may cause confusion and incorrect diagnoses to be made. This audit aims to assess the ability of different colon cleansing preparations to clear the colon of faeces. The tolerability of each will also be assessed, as will any changes in the lining of the bowel to assess if one type of colon preparation is more likely to cause visible changes than another.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety of a single dose of BAY 94-9172 (ZK 6013443) as an investigational medicinal product (IMP) in detecting cerebral protein-plaque (amyloid beta) with positron emission tomography (PET). IMP binds to amyloidal beta protein accumulating in brain tissue already from early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD). IMP is therefore a potential tracer to be used for detecting amyloid plaques. For each subject it is required to visit the study centre during the screening phase, on the PET imaging day and for 1 follow-up visit on the next day. A telephone call for safety follow-up will be performed 7 days after IMP administration. During the screening phase the subject's medical, neurological and surgical history, specific laboratory tests related to AD, MRI of the brain and certain neuro-psychiatric tests will be performed. Clinical safety measures (physical examinations, vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG) and laboratory tests) will be performed on the PET imaging day before IMP injection and monitored during and after two PET imaging sessions. Clinical safety measures will be performed again on the follow-up visit next day. The results of PET imaging with IMP will be compared between probable AD patients and healthy volunteers (HV). The clinical diagnosis is based on international validated and accepted criteria and established after comprehensive clinical and neuro-psychiatric examinations
The study consists of two phases: The first portion of the study is a Phase 1 dose escalation study to determine the maximum tolerated dose and the dose limiting toxicities of SB1518 when given as a single agent orally once daily in subjects with Chronic Idiopathic Myelofibrosis (CIMF) regardless of their JAK2 mutational status. The second portion of the study is a Phase 2 study to define the efficacy and safety profile of single agent SB1518 at the recommended dose in subjects with CIMF.
1. The study will assess the safety and tolerability of a single-infusion of zoledronic acid 5 mg administered in a private medical practice setting by a nurse provided by a nationwide infusion service. Safety data will largely be monitored by investigating changes in the patients' well-being during the study. 2. The study will pilot and test a Patient Registry and Infusion Service process, which will allow zoledronic acid to be administered to trial patients in the investigators' private rooms by a team of roving nurses.
This 3 arm study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of taspoglutide compared to placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with diet and exercise. Patients will be randomized to one of 3 treatment arms: taspoglutide 10mg sc once weekly, taspoglutide 20mg sc once weekly (after 4 weeks of taspoglutide 10mg sc once weekly) or placebo. After the first 24 weeks patients on placebo will be switched to taspoglutide 10mg once weekly or taspoglutide 20mg once weekly (after 4 weeks of taspoglutide 10mg once weekly). The anticipated time on study treatment is 1 year, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
