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 Phase I study to assess the systemic exposure, effiacy, and safety of 450 mg ceritinib taken with a low-fat meal and 600 mg ceritinib taken with a low-fat meal as compared with that of 750 mg ceritinib taken in the fasted state in adult patients with ALK rearranged (ALK-positive) metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
Administration of Ticagrelor in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction treated with pharmacological thrombolysis
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and PK of single and multiple ascending dose of AK0529 when administered orally in healthy subjects
This feasibility study will assess the effects of the Nativis Voyager therapy in patients with first or second recurrence of GBM who have either failed standard of care or are intolerant to therapy. The study will enroll and treat up to 32 subjects with Voyager plus lomustine with or without bevacizumab. Safety and clinical utility will be evaluated.
Among antidepressant treatments, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) remains the most effective. However, patient concerns with cognitive side effects have encouraged trials of new, non-convulsive forms of mild brain stimulation such as transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS). Our past and present studies of tDCS suggest that it has antidepressant effects and is safe, painless and well tolerated. However, not all patients may have an adequate response, raising the need to find ways of optimising efficacy. This clinical pilot study will examine the feasibility and safety of combining tDCS with a cognitive training task which engages the same brain region targeted by tDCS for treatment of depression.
The overall objective is to assess the effect of once daily tiotropium + olodaterol fixed dose combination compared to 5 µg tiotropium (both delivered with the Respimat® inhaler) on moderate to severe COPD exacerbation in patients with severe to very severe COPD.
To assess the efficacy and safety of AZD9291 versus a standard of care epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor in patients with locally advanced or Metastatic Non Small Cell Lung Cancer
For the majority of patients, management of HIV-1 infection involves effective and well tolerated antiretroviral therapy with simplified pill load and dosing, exemplified by the availability of single tablet regimens (STRs) with single tablet once daily dosing. STR therapy has been shown to improve adherence and reduce hospitalisations (Cohen et al., 2013; Sax et al., 2012). However, the aging of the HIV cohort in Australia and globally has raised issues of increasing co-morbidities and consequent polypharmacy to manage these (Jansson & Wilson, 2012; Edelman et al., 2013). Polypharmacy may not only impact on adherence, but also increases the potential for drug-drug interactions (Holtzman et al., 2013). Stribild, a highly effective STR, contains cobicistat to boost the levels of the component integrase inhibitor, elvitegravir. Cobicistat does not have antiretroviral activity, but acts by inhibiting Cyp3A4 of the cytochrome p450 metabolic pathway. Other drugs metabolized via this pathway may be affected by this drug-drug interaction (Rogatto et al., 2014). Additionally there is evidence of increased risk of nephrotoxicity with co-administration of tenofovir and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAIDS) (Marcotte et al., 2008). Data on use of concomitant medications in Australian patients with HIV is sparse. This study aims to determine, in a large caseload community HIV practice, the use of concomitant medications in HIV, patient pill load and dosing frequency, and potential drug-drug interactions with stribild.
The objectives of this program are: to characterize and describe the Mucopolysaccharidosis IV type A (MPS IVA) population as a whole, including the heterogeneity, progression, and natural history of MPS IVA; to evaluate the long-term effectiveness and safety of Vimizim®, including, but not limited to, the occurrence of serious hypersensitivity reactions, anaphylaxis, and changes in antibody status; to help the medical community with the development of recommendations for monitoring MPS IVA patients and reports on patient outcomes to optimize patient care; to collect data on other treatment paradigms, and evaluate the prevalences of their use and their effectiveness; to characterize the effects and safety of Vimizim treatment 5 years from enrollment in the Registry for patients under 5 years of age; to monitor pregnancy exposure, including maternal, neonatal, and infant outcomes; and to monitor patients who have completed the MOR-005 and MOR-007 clinical trials. These patients will be encouraged to enroll in the applicable Registry Substudy and will be monitored using the MOR-005 and MOR-007 assessment schedules, respectively.
The purpose of this study was to provide 16-week efficacy, safety and tolerability data versus placebo to support the use of secukinumab 150 mg by subcutaneous (s.c.) self-administration with or without a loading regimen and maintenance dosing using pre-filled syringe (PFS) and to assess efficacy, safety and tolerability up to 2 years in subjects with active PsA despite current or previous NSAID or DMARD therapy
