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 purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of everolimus in the treatment of advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET) not responsive to cytotoxic chemotherapy. All patients were treated with everolimus until either tumor progression was documented using a standard criteria that measures tumor size called Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid tumors (RECIST), or until unacceptable toxicity occurred, or until the patient or investigator requested discontinuation of treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not consistent drug levels can be achieved in infants with presumed Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.
Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune bleeding disorder characterised by isolated low platelet counts. The aim of treating patients with ITP is to increase the platelet concentration and reduce the risk of bleeding. A number of controlled multi-centre studies have demonstrated that Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIg) therapy produces a rapid rise in platelet counts within a 24 to 72 hour period. This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ig NextGen 10% in adult patients with ITP.
Dose-ranging study of AVE2268 in the management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus also receiving metformin. Its main objectives will be to assess the effects of several doses of AVE2268 on Mean Plasma Glucose. Its secondary objectives will be to assess the effects of AVE2268 on plasma glucose (fasting and post-prandial), and also the safety and tolerability of AVE2268.
The aim of the project is to investigate the use of Raloxifene (a new form of estrogen) in the treatment of women with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. Raloxifene is a Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM), which means that it can affect the central nervous system (CNS) effects of estrogen (eg. improving emotional symptoms, memory, information processing and concentration), without adversely affecting reproductive tissue/organs such as breast, uterus and ovaries. The investigators are conducting a double-blind, placebo controlled, three month study comparing the psychotic symptom response of women with schizophrenia in both groups. One group will receive standard antipsychotic medication plus 120mg Raloxifene, while the second group will receive standard antipsychotic medication plus oral placebo. Hypothesis 1: That the women receiving adjunctive Raloxifene would have a quicker recovery from psychotic symptoms, as measured on the rating scales, compared with the women receiving adjunctive placebo. Hypothesis 2: That the Raloxifene group would have better cognitive improvement than the placebo group.
The study investigates the effect of the 'Mother and Baby' (M&B) program on the psychological health and well-being of new mothers 6-10 weeks following the birth of their baby. The M&B program is an 8-week program of group exercise and education sessions provided by various health professionals. The design of the study is a comprehensive cohort design, including a randomised controlled trial. The primary outcome measure is the Affect Balance Scale. The hypotheses are: 1. The M&B program has a positive effect on new mothers' psychological health and well-being. 2. The M&B program increases participation in regular physical activity. 3. the M&B program benefits first time mothers more than women who have had more than one child.
The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical effectiveness and safety of golimumab intravenous (IV) infusions every 12 weeks with or without Methotrexate (MTX), compared with MTX alone, in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) despite concurrent MTX treatment. In addition, the safety of subcutaneous (SC) golimumab injections following transition from IV golimumab infusions will also be evaluated.
The precursor study (SCA101469) was an open-label, prospective multicentre study in adult subjects diagnosed with bipolar disorder consisting of 36 weeks treatment with lamotrigine. The current study is to provide 12 months post study access to open-label lamotrigine for participants of the SCA101469 study.
The main purpose of this study is to compare how one 50mg tablet of SB-497115 is broken down in the body by healthy subjects versus subjects with mild, moderate or severe liver problems. The study is also being done to 1) check on how well the study drug is tolerated by healthy subjects versus those with liver problems and 2) to check if liver impairment affects how the study drug binds to protein in the blood.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of TMC125 200 mg twice daily as part of an antiretroviral therapy including TMC114/rtv and an investigator selected optimized background in HIV-1 infected patients who have participated in a DUET trial (TMC125-C206 or TMC125 C216) and have met the definition of virologic failure at Week 24 or later in these trials.
