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.
- Whether a combination of three therapies - metformin and a sulfonylurea plus Exubera, an investigational drug, controls your diabetes at least as much as a triple combination therapy of metformin and a sulfonylurea plus Avandia, a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drug. - Whether a combination of two therapies - metformin plus Exubera controls your diabetes at least as much as a as a triple combination therapy of metformin and a sulfonylurea plus Avandia.
To determine long-term safety and efficacy of pregabalin in patients with partial seizures.
To estimate the frequency of patients with ocular/periorbital adverse events. To identify any possible long-term adverse consequences of increased iris pigmentation and to follow serious adverse events throughout the study period.
The purpose of this trial is to investigate the efficacy of cetuximab in combination with chemotherapy in comparison to chemotherapy alone in patients with advanced non small cell lung cancer who did not received prior chemotherapy. Overall survival will be taken as primary measure of efficacy.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the ZoMaxx drug-eluting stent in patients with blockage of native coronary arteries. The study is designed to demonstrate non-inferiority to the TAXUS Express2 Paclitaxel-Eluting Stent that has proven superior to bare metal stents and is a recognized standard of care.
This open label extension will treat all the eyes of study participants with active study medication (intravitreal triamcinolone) as well as standard laser treatment where appropriate. The specific aims will be to test the following hypotheses: - That intravitreal triamcinolone for diabetic macular oedema that persists or recurs after laser treatment remains efficacious over five years - That intravitreal triamcinolone for diabetic macular oedema that persists or recurs after laser treatment retains a manageable and acceptable safety profile over five years
This study is likely to identify an improved and economical treatment for diabetic macular oedema, one of the commonest causes of blindness both in Australia and the rest of the world.The specific aims of the study are to test the following hypotheses: - That intravitreal triamcinolone followed by laser treatment results in a greater improvement in visual acuity than placebo followed by laser treatment of eyes with macular oedema secondary to diabetes; - That intravitreal triamcinolone followed by laser treatment results in greater degree of resolution of macular oedema than placebo followed by laser treatment of eyes with macular oedema secondary to diabetes; - That intravitreal triamcinolone followed by laser treatment results in a reduced requirement for further laser treatment to control diabetic macular oedema than placebo followed by laser treatment; - That intravitreal triamcinolone followed laser has a manageable and acceptable safety profile in eyes with diabetic macular edema.
This project has been completed and consisted of a randomised trial of six tailored decision aids giving patients evidence-based information about faecal occult blood test screening for bowel cancer. 314 Australians aged between 50-74 years were recruited from five general practices and randomised to received either the tailored decision aid with age-gender and family history specific information and values clarification exercise or a standard government information sheet. The decision aid significantly increased the proportion of people who were informed participants in the screening program.
This study will be an open, non-randomised, clinical phase 2 trial, which will involve 30 women diagnosed with uterine papillary serous cancer. The researchers will investigate the effect of four cycles of paclitaxel/carboplatin, followed by whole pelvic external beam radiotherapy to a standard pelvis field (50.4 Gy) with or without a para-aortic boost with respect to the safety and efficacy of treatment, and patterns of recurrence.
To determine whether Lipitor reduces stroke, compared to placebo in patients who have had a previous stroke or transient ischemic attack.
