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 2 step study aims to establish a tolerable dose level and regimen of RAD001 in patients with advanced NCLC not previously treated with systemic therapy. In step 1 of this study, RAD 001 is given in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel and in Step 2 RAD001 is given in combination with carboplatin, paclitaxel and bevacizumab
The purpose of this study is to learn if apixaban can prevent blood clots in the leg (deep vein thrombosis [DVT]) and lung (pulmonary embolism [PE]) that sometimes occur within patients hospitalized for acute medical illness, and to learn how apixaban compares to enoxaparin (Lovenox®) for preventing these clots. The safety of apixaban will also be studied.
Pompe disease (also known as glycogen storage disease Type II) is caused by a deficiency of a critical enzyme in the body called acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA). Normally, GAA is used by the body's cells to break down glycogen (a stored form of sugar) within specialized structures called lysosomes. In patients with Pompe disease, an excessive amount of glycogen accumulates and is stored in various tissues, especially heart and skeletal muscle, which prevents their normal function. The objective of this extension study is to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of alglucosidase alfa treatment in patients with Late-Onset Pompe Disease who were previously treated under the placebo-controlled, double-blind study AGLU02704 (NCT00158600).
Cystic fibrosis is the most frequent lethal genetic disease of childhood. Causes disruption of glandular function of the pancreas, intestine, liver, lungs (causing chronic lung infection with emphysema), sweat glands and reproductive organs. We know that many CF patients die of lung failure, brought about in part by repeated lung infections caused by thick, sticky mucus that cannot be readily cleared from the lung. Inhaled mannitol is an osmotic agent that has been investigated in a number of small studies that have examined mucociliary clearance, quality of life and lung function in CF and bronchiectasis. The promising results of these studies warrant futher investigation. The aim of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of inhaled mannitol when administered twice a day over two weeks in CF.
Aim of this trial: To investigate whether post-craniotomy analgesia with (i) intravenous (IV) parecoxib plus intravenous paracetamol is superior to (ii) intravenous paracetamol alone. Study Hypothesis: Post-operative analgesia with intravenous parecoxib in combination with intravenous paracetamol will be superior to intravenous paracetamol alone.
Current cortical EEG based depth of anaesthesia monitors do not accurately reflect the effect of opioid drugs. We have developed a new theoretically-based method of analysing the EEG. Our hypothesis is that this new method will more accurately predict depth of anaesthesia than the Bispectral Index (BIS) monitor in patients having elective surgery.
The purpose of this study is determine whether a single IV dose of PF-04360365 is safe and well tolerated in Adults with Mild to Moderate Alzheimer's disease.
This study has been designed as a randomized, double-blind, controlled, study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two once daily intravenous peramivir regimens (200 mg and 400 mg) versus oral oseltamivir phosphate (75 mg twice daily) in hospitalized subjects with acute serious or potentially life threatening influenza. Study treatments will be provided for up to 5 consecutive days.
The objective of this observational study is to obtain long -term clinical and patient reported outcomes on the use of the GYNECARE family of TVT (Tension-Free Vaginal Tape) systems in women with stress urinary incontinence.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of BHT-3021 injections given weekly for 12 weeks and to evaluate the effect of BHT-3021 on antibody and immune (T cell) responses to autoantigens (e.g. insulin). Changes in pancreatic beta cell function, insulin requirements and blood glucose levels will also be evaluated.
