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.
In previous phase 2 studies, pemetrexed has shown antitumor activity in advanced non-small cell lung cancer as a single agent as well as in combination with cisplatin. Since the introduction of vitamin supplementation, pemetrexed has shown good tolerance and high safety. Vitamin supplementation has opened the opportunity to offer patients higher pemetrexed dosing, as has been demonstrated by a recent Phase 1 study. The higher dose with supplementation may increase pemetrexed's efficacy without unduly compromising safety. The present Phase 2 study will use pemetrexed dosing that is tailored to individual patient tolerance, and is an effort to determine the efficacy and safety of this approach in patients with advanced NSCLC who had prior chemotherapy.
To learn about the safety and any side effects of atomoxetine when given to children and adolescents for about 5 years (long-term) and to learn whether atomoxetine can help children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who take the drug for about 5 years (long-term). Study participants can be atomoxetine naive, atomoxetine experienced whose therapy has been interrupted or, atomoxetine experienced on a known stable dose.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and to compare the efficacy and safety of a triple modified release tacrolimus FK506E (MR4) / MMF / steroid regimen with a triple standard tacrolimus FK506 / MMF / steroid regimen in patients undergoing kidney transplantation. It shall be demonstrated that FK506E (MR4) is non-inferior to FK506 with regards to the primary endpoint.
To evaluate and to compare efficacy and safety of a dual regimen with oral modified release tacrolimus FK506E (MR4) / steroids versus a dual regimen with oral tacrolimus FK506 / steroids in patients undergoing primary liver transplantation. It shall be demonstrated that FK506E (MR4) is non-inferior to FK506 with regards to the primary endpoint.
An open-label study to evaluate the safety and the ability of Imiquimod 5% cream, applied topically, to clear superficial basal cell carcinoma and to keep it clear for 5 years of follow-up.
This is a prospective, longitudinal cohort study to evaluate fatigue and cognitive function in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) treated with chemotherapy, and in patients with the same malignancy, that do not receive chemotherapy. A self-report questionnaire for fatigue (the FACT-F), and validated tests of cognitive function, will be applied at predetermined times before, during and after chemotherapy, to determine the incidence, severity and duration of these symptoms. Comparisons will be made in changes in cognition for individuals, as well as between the chemotherapy and the control group. Mechanisms that might lead to fatigue and/or cognitive decline will be investigated.
This trial is conducted in Europe. Growth Hormone in young adults with growth hormone deficiency in childhood. This trial compares a treated group of patients with an untreated group of patients.
This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, and South America. The aim of this research study is to compare the efficacy (reduction in HbA1c and in blood glucose levels) of insulin detemir compared to NPH insulin administered as basal insulin for the treatment of type 1 diabetes and to verify the safety of use (number and severity of episodes of hypoglycemia, body weight, and insulin antibodies and side effects).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the HIV vaccine MRKAd5 HIV-1 gag/pol/nef followed by treatment interruption can increase immune system function in adults with acute or recent HIV infection who have started taking anti-HIV drugs.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy is more effective than temozolomide in treating gliomas. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying radiation therapy to see how well it works compared to temozolomide in treating patients with gliomas.
