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.
Our hypothesis is that adding midazolam and/or fentanyl to propofol sedation for elective outpatient colonoscopy increases cognitive impairment at hospital discharge without improving intraoperative conditions or reducing intraoperative side-effects. 200 healthy patients aged 18 years or older will be randomised to receive propofol or propofol plus midazolam and/or fentanyl. Cognitive impairment will be tested at hospital discharge using Cogstate computerised testing software.
We hypothesise that patients who receive propofol for maintenance of anaesthesia will report dreaming more often when they emerge from anaesthesia than patients who receive desflurane for maintenance of anaesthesia.
This natural history study is collecting health information about infants with adrenal masses found on prenatal and/or neonatal imaging. Gathering information over time from imaging and laboratory tests of infants with adrenal masses may help doctors learn more about the disease and plan the best treatment.
The Pfizer developed Heat Wash-Out (HWO) system is a software controlled electromechanical system designed to measure vaginal wall blood flow. A small vaginal probe is attached to a control unit. Output data are collected on a PC. By measuring the clearance of heat from the heated probe, a direct measure of absolute blood flow can be obtained. The study will assess the technique's ability to differentiate between pre- and post-menopausal women; with and without Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD).
This is a first time in human study to investigate the safety of GSK626616AC given as oral single and repeat doses in healthy subjects. An additional group of subjects will be assessed to determine the effect of several drugs given at the same time as GSK626616.

Output data is collected on a PC. By measuring the clearance of heat from the heated probe, a direct measure of absolute blood flow can be obtained. The study will assess changes in vaginal blood flow across the menstrual cycle following visual sexual stimulation.
This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of Mircera and darbepoetin alfa in the treatment of anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease who are not on dialysis and who are receiving subcutaneous darbepoetin alfa maintenance therapy. Patients will be randomized either to remain on darbepoetin alfa therapy as per local label, or to switch to monthly subcutaneous Mircera, at a starting dose of 120, 200 or 360 micrograms, depending on the weekly dose of darbepoetin alfa administered prior to the first dose of Mircera. 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 compare the effect of esomeprazole 20 or 40 mg once daily versus placebo on the occurrence of peptic ulcers during 26 weeks in subjects on continuous low-dose acetylsalicylic acid.
This study is to assess the safety of an investigational drug in children 4 to 11 years of age who have asthma. The subjects will attend 7 clinic visits, of which up to 3 will be in the morning, and have lung function tests performed.
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical performance of a new silicone hydrogel contact lens over a period of 6 months of extended wear.
