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.
Primary objective was to demonstrate overall survival improvement with aflibercept compared to placebo in patients receiving docetaxel / prednisone for metastatic androgen-independent prostate cancer (MAIPC). The secondary objectives were: - To assess the efficacy of aflibercept compared to placebo on other parameters such prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, cancer related pain, progression free survival (PFS), tumor-based and skeletal events and health-related quality of life (HRQL); - To assess the overall safety in both treatment arms; - To determine the pharmacokinetics of intravenous (IV) aflibercept in this population; - to determine immunogenicity of IV aflibercept.
This study is being performed to prospectively determine whether dacarbazine plus Genasense is significantly better than dacarbazine plus placebo in chemotherapy-naive patients with advanced melanoma and low baseline LDH (LDH less than or equal to 0.8 times the upper limit of normal). LDH is a biomarker strongly associated with improved outcomes in a recent trial of dacarbazine plus Genasense.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of clobazam as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of seizures which lead to drop attacks (drop seizures) in patients 2 to 60 years of age with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS). Patients will be enrolled at approximately 65 sites in the U.S. and ex-US for up to 23 weeks. Patients will be randomly assigned to either a low, medium or high dose, or placebo. The study will include a baseline period, a titration period and a maintenance period. After the maintenance period, patients will either continue into an open-label extension study or enter the taper period with a final visit 1 week after the last dose.
Upon completion of participation in the 6108A1-500 study, subjects will be asked to consent for this duration of immunity study to provide up to two additional blood samples. SBA & IgG testing will be done on these samples taken at 6 & 12 months. The sites participating in this duration of immunity study are the same sites participating in the 6108A1-500 study.
This was a Phase 2, open-label study of the NY-ESO-1 ISCOMATRIX® (ISCOM) vaccine administered as an intramuscular injection given every 4 weeks to subjects with measurable advanced malignant melanoma. Study objectives included determination of the anticancer activity, cellular and humoral immunogenicity, and safety and tolerability of the NY-ESO-1 ISCOM vaccine administered alone or preceded by a single administration of low-dose cyclophosphamide.
This 2 arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of Tarceva plus gemcitabine, compared with gemcitabine alone, in the treatment of chemotherapy-naive patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Patients will be randomized to receive either Tarceva 150mg po daily plus gemcitabine on days 1, 8, 15 and every 4 weeks subsequently, or with gemcitabine monotherapy. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
GSK945237 is the first molecule of a new chemical class that is being developed for treatment of respiratory tract and other infections such as skin and soft tissue. This study drug has been tested in animals but has never been given to humans. This is a two part study. The purpose of the first part is to study the side effects of this drug in humans, and to study how much of the drug gets absorbed in the blood stream The second part of this study will compare absorption of the study drug in the blood stream when given with food and when given under fasting conditions
This 7 arm study will determine the optimal treatment combination, based on efficacy and safety. Patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC), genotype 1, will be randomized to one of 7 treatment groups. Groups 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 will receive triple combination treatment with HCV polymerase inhibitor pro-drug (at doses of 500, 1000 or 1500mg po bid) plus PEGASYS (90 or 180 micrograms sc weekly) plus Copegus (1000 or 1200mg po qd) for 24 weeks, followed by 24 weeks of open label Standard of Care (PEGASYS 180 micrograms sc weekly plus Copegus 1000/1200mg po qd). Group 3 will receive HCV polymerase inhibitor pro-drug 500mg po bid plus PEGASYS 180 micrograms sc weekly plus Copegus 1000/1200mg po qd for 24 weeks; after 24 weeks, those achieving a rapid virological response (RVR) will stop all medication, and non-RVR patients will remain on triple combination for an additional 24 weeks. Group 7 will receive standard of care (SOC) for 48 weeks. There will be a 24 week period of treatment-free follow-up for all treatment groups. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of eltrombopag to maintain a platelet count sufficient to facilitate initiation of antiviral therapy, to minimise antiviral therapy dose reductions and to avoid permanent discontinuation of antiviral therapy. The clinical benefit of eltrombopag will be measured by the proportion of subjects who are able to achieve a Sustained Virological Response (SVR).
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the anti-exenatide-antibody response to exenatide re-exposure as measured by anti-exenatide antibodies and incidence of treatment-emergent allergy and hypersensitivity reactions following a period of treatment interruption, in patients previously exposed to exenatide.
