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.
Both mindfulness meditation and expectancy effects are known to reduce anxiety, stress and catastrophizing, but it is unknown whether and how expectancy effects contribute to the overall effect of mindfulness meditation on these outcomes, especially during significant global events such as the coronavirus pandemic. This study includes four interrelated aims that will probe these effects and interactions.

A two-phase study design will be used for this pilot study. In the first phase, a 2×2 crossover study will be used to evaluate the safety, tolerability and PK characteristic of APL-1202 and APL-1501 ER Tablets 3. Twelve healthy subjects will be in ratio 1:1 randomly assigned to two groups, randomization will be stratified by gender (male, female) in ratio 1:1. Each group will be dosed with APL-1202, APL-1501 ER Tablets 3 in a cross-over way. A 7-day (±1 day) washout will be required before next period of drug administration. The samples in first phase will be sent to bioanalysis lab for PK research at the end of first phase. The initiate of second phase will depend on the results of first phase within 30 days and not less than 7 days after the first phase.
This study was evaluate the effect of elexacaftor (ELX)/tezacaftor (TEZ)/ivacaftor (IVA) on glucose tolerance in CF participants, 12 years of age and older who are heterozygous for the F508del mutation and a minimal function mutation (F/MF genotypes), with abnormal glucose metabolism.
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial to investigate the efficacy, safety, patient outcome measures, tolerability, immunogenicity, PK, and PD of efgartigimod PH20 SC in adult participants aged from 18 years with PV or PF. The trial comprises a screening period of up to 3 weeks, a treatment period of up to 30 weeks, and an 8-week follow-up period for participants who do not enroll into the open-label extension (OLE) trial ARGX-113-1905. The primary objective of the ARGX-113-1904 trial is to demonstrate the efficacy of subcutaneous administration of efgartigimod co-formulated with recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (Efgartigimod PH20 SC) compared to placebo in the treatment of participants with Pemphigus Vulgaris (PV). Secondary objectives are to also demonstrate the efficacy of efgartigimod PH20 SC in the treatment of participants with Pemphigus Foliaceus (PF), and to demonstrate early onset of action and a prednisone-sparing effect. After confirmation of eligibility, participants will be randomized in a 2: 1 ratio to receive efgartigimod PH20 SC or placebo
The purpose of this extension study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of brolucizumab used in a Treat-to-Control-regimen for treatment of patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration who have completed the CRTH258A2303 (TALON) study. The main objective was to assess brolucizumab's potential for long durability up to 20 weeks. All eligible participants were treated with brolucizumab regardless of their treatment in the TALON study. The study period was 56 weeks including post-treatment follow-up.
Pancreatic head malignancies are aggressive cancers that are often inoperable when they are diagnosed. In the ~20% of patients who are diagnosed when the disease is still operable, surgery is the only treatment that can provide a chance of cure. Unfortunately, up to 75% of patients undergoing surgery will have the cancer come back (recur). One of the reasons for this is the challenge of removing the whole tumour with some surrounding non-cancerous tissue to ensure that every tumour cell has been removed. This is difficult because there are many structures very close to the pancreas (such as the blood vessels that supply the intestines) that cannot be removed. A recent review study of >1700 patients who had a Whipple's operation (the cancer operation that is performed to remove the head of pancreas) and found that whilst the majority of patients had cancer recurrence in distant sites (like the liver) that would not be affected by how the operation was performed, 12% of patients had the cancer recur just at the site of where the operation had been; this is known as 'local' recurrence. This suggests that a small amount of cancer was not removed at the time of surgery in these patients. Very few studies have looked at the relationship between the Computerised Tomography (CT) scan before surgery and the histology results (information about the tumour after it has been examined under the microscope) and whether this can predict exactly where the tumour recurs. If investigators can find factors that predict which patients get local only recurrence, investigators may be able to offer improved surgical techniques or other therapies during or immediately after the operation to these patients, hopefully leading to improved cure rates. This retrospective international study will look at these factors in patients who underwent a Whipple's operation for pancreatic cancer, bile duct cancer or ampullary cancer over a three year period between 2012 and 2015. Participating centres will provide data on pre-operative scans, complications around the time of surgery, any therapies (e.g. chemotherapy) that the patients had and if and where the cancer recurred. With this information, investigators hope to find ways to predict which patients will get local-only recurrence, so researchers can select them for future studies to see if additional treatments can improve the chance of cure from surgery for these patients.
Normal heart function involves rhythmic contraction of all four chambers of the heart and this rhythm is maintained by the electrical wiring (conduction system) of the heart. Abnormality in this system results in either very slow or very fast heart rates leading to insufficient blood supply to the body due to inefficient pumping of the heart. cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator devices are used to synchronise heart function. The purpose of this study is not only to determine the pattern of electrical wiring of the heart and identify the variations seen in individuals with heart failure, but also, to explore the benefits of different types of pacing using CRT devices.
Prospective, multi-center, single-arm study of the M5+ Peripheral IVL system to treat calcified peripheral arteries.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of tiragolumab in combination with atezolizumab and chemotherapy in participants with metastatic and early triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
