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 investigators will test the value of an internet self-help package (E-Couch) for alleviating social anxiety symptoms in the general population. The investigators will undertake a trial of about 2000 participants to compare the effect of the E-Couch intervention compared to a wait-list control condition. Over a period of 12 months the investigators will measure the effect of using E-Couch self-help on social anxiety symptoms, as well as on mental wellbeing, and other secondary outcomes including quality of life, depression and general anxiety, and their use of other sources of help.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the study drug known as abemaciclib versus docetaxel in participants with stage IV squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.
This Phase III, open-label, randomized, multicenter study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjuvant treatment with atezolizumab compared with observation in participants with muscle-invasive UC who are at high risk for recurrence following resection. Eligible participants were randomized by a 1:1 ratio into atezolizumab group or control group.
This study will evaluate the addition of a local anaesthetic infusion into the abdomen to patient controlled analgesia in the management of postoperative pain and recovery after bowel surgery. Half of the patients will have an infusion of a local anaesthetic called ropivacaine and half will have an infusion of placebo in addition to their normal pain relief.
This phase 2 study is designed to evaluate the safety and activity of TH-4000, a hypoxia-activated prodrug in participants with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck or skin.
Bright light therapy is an established treatment pathway for sleep and circadian disorders and evidence suggests that it has antidepressant effects. The underlying mechanisms of these antidepressant effects are not fully understood and results from previous studies are somewhat variable. One of the important limitations of previous depression studies has been the heterogeneity of samples in which bright light therapy has been administered. The main aim of this study is to evaluate whether the antidepressant effects of phototherapy in young persons with depression are modulated by changes in the sleep-wake cycle. We hypothesize that more pronounce initial sleep-phase delay will predict better antidepressant response to phototherapy and that the magnitude of changes in depressive symptoms across the course of the intervention will correlate with changes in the sleep-wake cycle.
The study design comprises a randomized trial of patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty using the G7 acetabular system and Taperloc Complete stem comparing regular plasma porous spray with HA coating using Bonemaster (BM) in an uncemented cup. DEXA scanning will be used to measure periprosthetic bone mineral density. Clinical evaluations will be conducted .
Bladder cancer is the seventh most common cancer in the UK, with 10,399 new cases diagnosed in 2011. In a quarter of these cases the cancer has infiltrated the muscular wall of the bladder (muscle invasive) and is life threatening. This type of bladder cancer is usually treated either with surgical removal of the bladder, or daily radiotherapy treatment (high strength xrays which kill cells), given every day for 4 or 7 weeks. RAIDER will investigate methods which have the potential to improve how well this radiotherapy works. RAIDER is based on a study of novel radiotherapy techniques which was conducted at a single UK NHS Trust. Bladder radiotherapy is normally delivered using a single plan throughout treatment and treats the whole bladder with the same radiotherapy dose. In adaptive radiotherapy the delivery plan is chosen from 3 possible plans. In cancer (tumour) focused radiotherapy, the highest dose of the radiotherapy is aimed at the tumour within the bladder. In RAIDER, at least 240 participants with muscle invasive bladder cancer will be in one of 3 treatment groups: 1. standard whole bladder radiotherapy 2. standard dose tumour focused adaptive radiotherapy 3. dose escalated tumour boost adaptive radiotherapy Participants will visit the hospital 4 weeks, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months after radiotherapy and annually thereafter to check whether the cancer has returned and to receive treatment for any symptoms they may be experiencing. RAIDER aims to confirm in a multicentre setting that novel techniques allow a higher radiotherapy dose than standard to be reliably targeted at the tumour within the bladder and to check that the long term side effects of the treatment are acceptable. If this is the case, results of RAIDER will be used to develop a study to establish whether dose escalated radiotherapy is better at treating bladder cancer than standard dose.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether etrasimod is a safe and effective treatment for ulcerative colitis.
This is a phase 3, randomized, controlled, blinded, multicenter study conducted in 3 parallel cohorts of diabetic patients with at least 1 infected foot ulcer. Patients will be randomized to receive 1 of 3 study treatments; systemic antibiotic therapy and standard ulcer care with either (A) daily application of a gentamicin-sponge, (B) daily application of a placebo-sponge or (C) no-sponge, in the ratio 2:1:1. Patients will be treated for approximately 28 days and return to the clinic weekly for safety and efficacy assessments. After completing treatment, patients will return to the clinic for scheduled follow-up visits approximately 10, 30, 60 and 90 days after treatment is stopped.
