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.
Whole gland LDR brachytherapy has been a well established modality of treating low risk prostate cancer. Treatment in a focal manner has the advantages of reduced toxicity to surrounding organs. AIM: To determine the utility of focal LDR brachytherapy in form of hemiablative treatment for localized prostate cancer demonstrating the feasibility of the delivery of the prescription dose to the half of the prostate in terms of meeting standard dosimetric parameters while respecting same or lower tolerance doses of adjacent normal organs. To determine acute and late rectal, urinary and sexual toxicity after this procedure. To assess the change from baseline in QOL indicators at specific time intervals using validated international questionnaires [International Prostate Symptom Score ( IPSS), International Index of Erectile Function ( IIEF ), Expanded Prostate Cancer Index (EPIC)] after this treatment. To evaluate the local tumour control in terms of biopsy outcomes after focal brachytherapy 36 months after the treatment. To compare target coverage and relative doses to the rectum and the urethra for the same patient performing a hemigland treatment planning vs Whole gland treatment planning. STUDY DESIGN: Multi-institution prospective trial to determine whether hemiablative treatment with LDR for prostate cancer is dosimetrically safe and feasible.This study will record data for 20 patients with ipsilateral with low and low tier intermediate risk disease.The study will record quality of life parameters in particular in terms of urinary, rectal and sexual function side effects. INTERVENTION: - Baseline Transperineal Template guided mapping prostate biopsy with >20 cores (not required if already performed) - Multiparametric MRI within the 3 months prior to registration and at 18 & 36 months. - Hemigland prostate region will be targeted with the prescription dose and receive 144 Gy of Iodine125 (I125). - The quality of life assessment will focus on erectile function, urinary function, bowel function, and general health related quality of life - Postimplant CT Planning day 30 after the implant for quality assurance. MEASUREMENT OF ENDPOINTS : Dosimetric parameters record, Toxicity and QOL evaluation forms, PSA follow up and biopsies at 36 months to assess local control.
Primary Objective: To demonstrate the superiority of alirocumab in comparison with usual care in the reduction of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) in participants with type 2 diabetes and mixed dyslipidemia at high cardiovascular risk with non-HDL-C not adequately controlled with maximally tolerated statin therapy. Secondary Objectives: - To demonstrate whether alirocumab is superior in comparison with usual care in its effects on other lipid parameters (ie, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein B (Apo B), total cholesterol (Total -C), lipoprotein a (Lp[a]), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TGs), triglyceride rich lipoproteins (TGRLs), apolipoprotein A-1 (Apo A-1), apolipoprotein C-III (Apo C-III), lipid subfractions by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy (ie, LDL-C particle size and LDL, very low-density lipoprotein [VLDL], HDL, and intermediate-density lipoprotein [IDL] particle number). - To assess changes in glycemic parameters with alirocumab vs. usual care treatment. - To demonstrate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab. - To evaluate treatment acceptance of alirocumab. - To evaluate proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) concentrations and antibody development. - To demonstrate the superiority of alirocumab vs. fenofibrate on non-HDL-C and other lipid parameters (subgroup analysis).
The purpose of this study is to assess long-term safety data of GED-0301 for a period of up to 208 weeks in adult subjects (i.e., ≥ 18 years of age) who participated in the core Phase 3 GED-0301-CD-002 and GED-0301-CD-003 studies and adolescent subjects (i.e., 12 to 17 years of age) who participated in the core Phase 3 GED-0301-CD-003 study. Although all subjects will receive active treatment, this study is double-blinded for the entire 208 weeks for the purpose of preserving the blind of the subject's treatment allocation in the initial, core Phase 3 GED-0301 study. The GED-0301-CD-003 trial was not initiated; see detailed description.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of treatment with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir (SOF/VEL/VOX) fixed-dose combination (FDC) for 8 weeks and of treatment with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) FDC for 12 weeks in participants naive to direct-acting antivirals (DAA) with chronic genotype 3 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and cirrhosis.
The primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of treatment with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir (Vosevi®; SOF/VEL/VOX) fixed-dose combination (FDC) for 12 weeks and of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (Epclusa®; SOF/VEL) FDC for 12 weeks in direct-acting antiviral (DAA)-experienced adults with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with or without cirrhosis who have not received prior treatment with a regimen containing an inhibitor of the HCV NS5A protein.
The study purpose is to demonstrate that ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation using the Niobe™ ES system results in superior outcomes compared to a manual approach in subjects with ischemic scar VT in a low ejection fraction population.
The study is being done to test the safety of a cancer drug called larotrectinib in children. The cancer must have a change in a particular gene (NTRK1, NTRK2 or NTRK3). Larotrectinib blocks the actions of these NTRK genes in cancer cells and can therefore be used to treat cancer. The first study part (Phase 1) is done to determine what dose level of larotrectinib is safe for children, how the drug is absorbed and changed by their bodies and how well the cancer responds to the drug. The main purpose of the second study part (Phase 2) is to investigate how well and how long different cancer types respond to the treatment with larotrectininb.
This is a cross-sectional observational study. For participants resident in Adelaide, South Australia. The study consists of 3 visits to the Pain and Anaesthesia Research Clinic (PARC), within the Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH). A total of 56 participants will be recruited for this study.
This study will evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effect and safety of Bimatoprost SR compared with selective laser trabeculoplasty in participants with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are not adequately managed with topical IOP-lowering medication for reasons other than medication efficacy (e.g., due to intolerance or nonadherence).
The PEPITES study evaluates the efficacy and safety of Viaskin Peanut 250 µg peanut protein to induce desensitization to peanut in peanut-allergic children 4 through 11 years of age after a 12-month treatment by epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT).
