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 is to conduct a pilot study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of weekly administration of Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor (A1PI) augmentation therapy in subjects with A1PI deficiency and emphysema/ chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The aim of PLUS is to conduct a multi-centre, blinded, randomised, controlled trial (RCT) to determine whether fluid resuscitation and therapy with a "balanced" crystalloid solution (Plasma-Lyte 148®) decreases 90-day mortality in critically ill patients requiring fluid resuscitation when compared with the same treatment using 0.9% sodium chloride (saline)
This study evaluated the long-term safety of treatment with trastuzumab in participants with metastatic or locally advanced cancer with human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) overexpression who had completed a prior study with trastuzumab.
Breathlessness is an overwhelming symptom affecting tens of thousands of Australians every day. For many people, it persists even when all the underlying causes have been optimally managed (chronic breathlessness). In these circumstances, it often occurs at rest or with minimal exertion. Evidence from a number of clinical studies suggests that a small, regular dose of morphine helps to reduce safely the sensation of breathlessness. However, it is not well established which patients derive more benefit and what is the net clinical effect of this treatment (weighing benefits and harms). This is a phase III, multi-site, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and severe chronic breathlessness which will explore several important questions: - Are regular, low doses of morphine at four possible doses over 3 weeks more effective than placebo at improving breathlessness? - Does increasing the dose in people who already are experiencing some benefit provide even greater reduction in worst breathlessness? - Does the medication have any effect on daily activity and quality of life? - What are the common or serious side effects of this intervention? - Does the benefit from the medication outweigh the side effects it produces? - Are there specific characteristics of people who are more likely to receive benefit from extended release morphine? Participants will receive once daily extended release morphine (plus laxative, docusate with senna), or placebo (placebo laxative) in addition to their usual medication for up to 3 weeks at increasing doses. Participants will have a medical interview and physical examination to collect some general health information, and baseline measurements including; daily activity, symptoms, and quality of life. A small amount of blood may be required to check eligibility. Further blood samples may be taken at week 1 and 3 to enable testing on how individuals respond to opioids, further consent will be obtained for these samples. Data on benefits, side effects, and medical care will be collected during comprehensive weekly visits. Participants will also fill out a simple diary twice daily for weeks one to three of the study, and for one day each week during an optional 6 month extension stage. The outcome of this study may enable better management of symptoms and activity in people COPD with medicines that are shown to be effective and safe.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether once-nightly FT218 is safe and effective for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy in subjects with narcolepsy.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of N1539 in a variety of post-surgical conditions.
This study is in two parts and will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of escalating single intravenous (IV) doses of ocrelizumab compared with placebo in combination with methotrexate in participants with moderate to severe RA. Part 1 is the dose-escalation study, at one of the following dose levels of ocrelizumab [400, 1000, 1500, and 2000 milligrams (mg)]. In Part 2, participants will be randomized to explore tolerability and efficacy of doses which have been shown to be tolerated in Part 1.
The purpose of this study is to continue to provide elotuzumab and/or other study drugs to participants who have participated on a prior protocol investigating elotuzumab who are not able to receive commercial drug supply.
This Phase 1/2 study will evaluate the safety, efficacy, PK, and PD of FT-2102 (olutasidenib) as a single agent or in combination with azacitidine or cytarabine. The Phase 1 stage of the study is split into 2 distinct parts: a dose escalation part, which will utilize an open-label design of FT-2102 (olutasidenib) (single agent) and FT-2102 (olutasidenib) + azacitidine (combination agent) administered via one or more intermittent dosing schedules followed by a dose expansion part. The dose expansion part will enroll patients in up to 5 expansion cohorts, exploring single-agent FT-2102 (olutasidenib) activity as well as combination activity with azacitidine or cytarabine. Following the completion of the relevant Phase 1 cohorts, Phase 2 will begin enrollment. Patients will be enrolled across 8 different cohorts, examining the effect of FT-2102 (olutasidenib) (as a single agent) and FT-2102 (olutasidenib) + azacitidine (combination) on various AML/MDS disease states.
This is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center post-market observational study assessing the performance of the Pipeline™ Flex Embolization Device with Shield Technology™ in subjects undergoing treatment for intracranial aneurysms in a large real-world, post-market setting.
