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 study compares overall survival between patients with acute myeloid leukemia, who are in complete remission following initial treatment with chemotherapy and whose remission is maintained either with a transplantation of stem cells obtained from a sibling or unrelated donor or with standard treatment, which is additional chemotherapy. The study hypothesis is that the group transplanted with stem cells from a donor will have a superior survival compared with patients treated with standard of care.
This study assessed the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of 2 doses of oral fingolimod versus interferon β-1a to reduce the frequency of relapses in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
Study to evaluate the utility of prospective HLA-B*5701 screening on the incidence of abacavir hypersensitivity (ABC HSR) in 1800 previously ABC-naive adults with HIV-1 from Europe, Australia and other countries as applicable. The study has two (co-primary) objectives: i) to determine if screening for HLA-B*5701 prior to ABC-containing HAART results in a lower incidence of clinically-suspected HSR versus current standard of care (no genetic screening) and ii) to determine if screening for HLA-B*5701 prior to ABC-containing HAART, results in a significantly lower incidence of immunologically-confirmed HSR versus current standard of care (no genetic screening or patch testing). The study consists of up to a 28-day screening period, a randomised observation period (Day 1 through Week 6) and, for subjects experiencing a suspected ABC HSR and a subset of ABC-tolerant subjects, an epicutaneous patch test (EPT) assessment period. Eligible subjects will be randomised to one of two study arms: a Current Standard of Care Arm (no prospective genetic screening: Control) and a Genetic Screening Arm (prospective genetic screening). Subjects identified as HLA-B*5701 positive in the prospective Genetic Screening Arm will not receive ABC and will be excluded from further study. Subjects who experience suspected ABC HSR during the 6-week observation will be withdrawn from ABC-containing product and undergo EPT patch testing 6 weeks later.
A phase II study to allow patients with advanced kidney cancer access to sunitinib malate treatment and to find out the good and bad effects of taking 37.5 mg sunitinib malate in a continuous daily regimen (once per day) for one year.
The primary purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of AZD6244 (ARRY-142886) with temozolomide in patients with advanced melanoma
This study will look at a drug for OAB (solifenacin) in combination with a non drug treatment (bladder training) compared to the drug on its own. The study will compare the symptoms of OAB by assessing patient diaries and other patient reported outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to compare E7389 versus capecitabine in patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who are refractory to the most recent chemotherapy. This is an open-label, randomized, two-parallel arm study. Patients will be randomized to receive either E7389 or capecitabine on a one-to-one ratio.
This trial is conducted in Oceania. A phase 2a study to assess the effect on tumor size. At least 14 to a maximum of 40 patients, who have not previously received treatment for their stage IV disease, will be treated for 6 weeks. IL-21 will be administered intravenously.
In people with type 1 diabetes the beta cells of the pancreas no longer make insulin because the body's immune system has attacked and destroyed the beta cells. It is thought that exposure of the mucous membranes to insulin may cause act like a vaccine effect whereby protective immune cells are stimulated and these then counteract the "bad" immune cells that damage the beta cells. This study aims to determine if intranasal insulin can protect beta cells and stop progression to diabetes in individuals who are at risk.
The aim of this study is to compare investigator and patient-assessed gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms in patients with erosive GERD or endoscopic-negative GERD (enGERD). An endoscopy will be performed at study start and study end. During the study, the patients will complete a patient-orientated, self-assessed reflux questionnaire (ReQuest™ questionnaire). The study duration consists of a baseline period (8 days) and treatment period (28 days). Pantoprazole (tablet) will be administered once daily at one dose level. The study will provide further data on safety and tolerability of pantoprazole.
