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.
This study will test the feasibility that differences in contact lens wettability can be measured with a wavefront sensor.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate how effective and safe the study drug known as ixekizumab is in participants with active psoriatic arthritis.
Patients with chronic HBV infection will receive ARC-520 in combination with entecavir or tenofovir and be evaluated for safety and efficacy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ustekinumab as measured by a reduction in disease activity for subjects with active Active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE - chronic disorder of connective tissue in which there can be skin rash, arthritis, kidney problems, and anemia, among other problems).
To compare efficacy and safety between SGI-110 and Treatment Choice in adults with previously untreated AML who are not considered candidates for intensive remission induction chemotherapy.
GSK1278863A is a novel small molecule agent, which stimulates erythropoiesis through inhibition of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-prolyl hydroxylases (EGLNs). This compound is being developed for the treatment of anemia. This study, PHI115385, will be the first administration of GSK1278863A to Japanese subjects to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of single oral doses in healthy Japanese adult subjects. Healthy Caucasian adult subjects will be included in order to compare pharmacokinetics of GSK1278863A and its metabolite(s), and pharmacodynamics of GSK1278863A.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tralokinumab in adults with atopic dermatitis
Weakening and expansion of the main abdominal artery (abdominal aortic aneurysm, AAA) is a common problem in older Australians. The majority of AAAs are small (<55 mm) and affect 90,000 individuals in Australia and 4.5 million world-wide. Currently, the only treatment available for AAA is surgery. However, surgical therapies are not effective for small AAAs, and these patients undergo a program of repeat imaging and consultation to monitor the size of the aneurysm and symptoms. This proposal is aimed at addressing the urgent need to identify a medical treatment able to limit progression of AAAs. The study design and rationale are based on strong preclinical evidence supporting the value of eplerenone (an agent indicated for treatment of heart failure) in limiting AAA progression. If proved effective, this medication would: 1. Reduce the number of patients requiring costly surgery 2. Reduce the number of surgery related deaths and complications 3. Provide a therapy suitable for the rapidly expanding elderly age group who have AAAs.
Primary Objective: To evaluate, in comparison with placebo, the efficacy of 2 dose levels/regimens of SAR156597 administered subcutaneously during 52 weeks on lung function of participants with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). Secondary Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of 2 dose levels/regimens of SAR156597 compared to placebo on IPF disease progression. To evaluate the safety of 2 dose levels/regimens of SAR156597 compared to placebo in participants with IPF.
Up to 13.5% of patients that undergo a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of their abdomen without pancreatic symptoms are found to have an incidental pancreatic cyst, with the frequency increasing with age. In a post-mortem series, 25% of patients had a pancreatic cyst, of which 32% were potentially premalignant and 3% malignant. Premalignant cysts are currently either observed or removed surgically according to international guidelines. Observation is associated with significant anxiety for patients and a growing cost to the National Health Service, while surgery for this usually benign condition is associated with not insignificant morbidity and mortality. Premalignant pancreatic cysts may be indolent for a number of years before malignant transformation, creating a window of opportunity for minimally invasive intervention and cure. New early treatment options for premalignant tumours are urgently required. This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel minimally invasive technique for the treatment of pancreatic cystic tumoursÍž endoscopic ultrasound guided radiofrequency ablation (EUSRFA). If successful it will offer an alternative to long term observation or surgery for patients with this condition.
