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.
A study to assess the safety and efficacy of SU11248 in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) whose disease has failed imatinib therapy or who were intolerant to imatinib treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of administration of a cell-delivered ribozyme gene transfer product to participants with chronic (lasting a long time) Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) infection (a life-threatening infection which you can get from an infected person's blood or from having sex with an infected person).
Study to demonstrate that administration of Venticute increases survival of patients with pneumonia or aspiration of gastric contents leading to intubation, mechanical ventilation, and severe oxygenation impairment.
LY517717 (a capsule given by mouth) is a blood thinner that may prevent blood clots from forming in the legs and may prevent those blood clots from traveling to the lungs. Leg and lung blood clots occur commonly after patients have surgery to replace a hip or knee joint. These clots often occur while patients are in bed in the hospital after hip or knee joint surgery. The purpose of this study is to test if different dose strengths (amount of drug in the capsules) of LY517717 can prevent blood clots from forming and to determine if LY517717 is safe. This study will compare LY517717 to enoxaparin, another blood thinner. Enoxaparin is one of the standard medications given after hip or knee joint surgery.
RATIONALE: PI-88 may stop the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of PI-88 in treating patients who have an advanced malignancy (cancer) or stage IV melanoma.
This study evaluated and compared the efficacy and tolerability of lapatinib and letrozole, with letrozole and placebo in post-menopausal women with hormone receptor positive (ER positive and/or PgR positive) advanced or metastatic breast cancer, who had not received prior therapy for advanced or metastatic disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, efficacy (including quality of life), and pharmacokinetics of BAY43-9006 when added to Best Supportive Care in patients with unresectable and/or metastatic renal cell cancer, who have received one prior systemic regimen for advanced disease.
The purpose of this phase II, randomized, open-label clinical trial is to study 2 schedules of single-agent Irinotecan in women with metastatic breast cancer who have experienced failure of prior therapy with an anthracycline, a taxane, and capecitabine. Patients will receive Irinotecan capsules either once each day for 5 days, or once a day for 14 days in 3 week cycles.
RATIONALE: Estrogen can stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using either tamoxifen or anastrozole may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen. It is not yet known whether tamoxifen is more effective than anastrozole in preventing breast cancer after surgery for ductal carcinoma in situ. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying how well adjuvant tamoxifen works compared to anastrozole in treating postmenopausal women who have undergone surgery to remove ductal carcinoma in situ.
RATIONALE: Surgery to remove lymph nodes in the armpit in patients with sentinel lymph node micrometastases may remove cancer cells that have spread from tumors in the breast. It is not yet known whether surgery to remove the primary tumor is more effective with or without axillary lymph node dissection. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying surgery and axillary lymph node dissection to see how well they work compared to surgery alone in treating women with node-negative breast cancer and sentinel lymph node micrometastases.
