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.
Study will assess the safety and effectiveness of 12 week treatment with the study medication, Bronchitol, in subjects with bronchiectasis (a lung disease where patients have trapped, and often infected, thick, sticky mucus). Past studies have shown Bronchitol inhalation may help to facilitate the clearance of mucus by altering its rheology (making it less thick and sticky), thereby enhancing the shift of stagnant mucus from the lungs. On completion of the double blind phase, subjects will have the opportunity to participate in a 52 week open label phase.
A dose defining study of the protease inhibitor tipranavir (TPV), boosted with low dose ritonavir (RTV). Three dose combinations of TPV/RTV are administered to multiple antiretroviral experienced patients and the dose that achieves the best efficacy and safety as determined by evaluation of 2, 8, and 24-week virologic response and adverse event and laboratory profile measures would be selected for further clinical study.
To evaluate the FOLFOX regimen versus LV5FU2 in the adjuvant treatment of stage II and III colon cancer. Primary objective: Disease Free Survival (DFS) Secondary objective: Overall Survival (OS), safety (including long term toxicity)
This phase III trial is studying how well radiation therapy, amifostine, and chemotherapy work in treating young patients with newly diagnosed nasopharyngeal cancer. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs, such as amifostine, may protect normal cells from the side effects of radiation therapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving radiation therapy together with amifostine and chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
To investigate whether tiotropium (Spiriva) improves exercise endurance in patients with COPD
Primary: - To assess the efficacy of SR121463B in correcting hyponatremia in patients with dilutional hyponatremia other than SIADH or cirrhosis Secondary: - To assess the long-term efficacy of SR121463B in maintaining normonatremia in these patients - To assess the safety and tolerability of SR121463B
The purpose of this study is to determine whether giving women feedback concerning their bone mineral density, combined with either an information leaflet or group education concerning osteoporosis changes women's behavior and/or bone density.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and antiviral effects of atazanavir (ATV) plus ritonavir (RTV) versus a combination drug of lopinavir (LPV) plus RTV. A combination drug containing tenofovir (TDF) and emtricitabine (FTC) will also be taken by participants in both arms.
This trial of SB-480848 in approximately 920 subjects with Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) or CHD-risk equivalent will examine whether SB-480848 produces sustained inhibition of plasma Lp-PLA2 activity, explore the effects of SB-480848 on other circulating biomarkers associated with cardiovascular risk, and evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of SB-480848 over 12 weeks of once-daily oral dosing. Subjects will first be randomized 1:1 to double-blind atorvastatin 20 mg or 80 mg once daily for a minimum of 3 weeks. Subjects will then be randomized 1:1:1:1 to oral doses of SB-480848 40 mg, 80 mg, 160 mg or placebo once daily for 12 weeks. Blood samples will be collected at various timepoints. Vital signs, electrocardiograms, clinical laboratory safety tests and adverse event assessments will be performed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SB-480848.
Despite the success of the triptan class of drugs, approximately 60% of patients who take medication at the moderate to severe pain stage of acute migraine, still have pain of mild or greater degree at 2 hrs post dose. SB-705498 is a novel, first in class TRPV1 receptor antagonist under development for the treatment of migraine pain. Preclinical experiments have demonstrated that the TRPV1 receptor is expressed both centrally and peripherally in the trigeminal system and inhibition of TRPV1 with SB-705498 can both prevent and reverse established central sensitisation.
