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.
AIM AND HYPOTHESIS: The purpose of this study is to monitor the bioburden and impedance characteristics of a prototype mask system and to evaluate the usability of the mask system. The mask system will be assessed according to objective data recordings and user questionnaires. It is hypothesised that the prototype mask components will not pose a health risk (with regards to bioburden and impedance) and that the mask system will pass usability objectives to adequately deliver CPAP treatment.
Friedreich's ataxia is an autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia caused by triplet-repeat expansions. The causative mutation is a trinucleotide (GAA) repeat expansion in the first intron of the frataxin gene, leading to impaired transcription of frataxin. The pathological consequences of frataxin deficiency include a severe disruption of iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis, mitochondrial iron overload coupled to cellular iron dysregulation, and an increased sensitivity to oxidative stress. A hallmark of Friedreich's ataxia is impairment of antioxidative defense mechanisms, which play a major role in disease progression. Studies have demonstrated that nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling is grossly impaired in participants with Friedreich's ataxia. Therefore, the ability of omaveloxolone (RTA 408) to activate Nrf2 and induce antioxidant target genes is hypothesized to be therapeutic in participants with Friedreich's ataxia. This 2-part study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacodynamics of omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the treatment of participants with Friedreich's ataxia. Part 1: The first part of this study will be a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety of omaveloxolone (RTA 408) at various doses in participants with Friedreich's ataxia. Part 2: The second part of this study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of omaveloxolone (RTA 408) 150 mg in participants with Friedreich's ataxia. Participants enrolled in Part 2 will be randomized 1:1 to receive omaveloxolone (RTA 408) 150 mg or placebo. Extension: The extension will assess long-term safety and tolerability of omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in qualified participants with Friedreich's ataxia following completion of Part 1 or Part 2. Participants will not be unblinded to study treatment in Part 1 or Part 2 upon entering the extension study. Participants will receive open-label omaveloxolone (RTA 408) at 150 mg once daily.
The purpose of this study is to assess and compare the clinical benefit rate in patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer and poor prognostic factors treated with cabazitaxel or novel hormonal agents (abiraterone or enzalutamide) as initial therapy, to determine which treatment is most active in this population. Clinical benefit rate is defined as PSA or measurable radiological response of any duration or stable disease for > or equal to 12 weeks, in the absence of other indicators of progression. There is option to cross-over onto the other arm if the patient progresses.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of presatovir on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) viral load in autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients with an acute RSV upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), the effect of presatovir on development of lower respiratory tract complication, being free of any supplemental oxygen progression to respiratory failure, and pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of presatovir.
This was a Phase 1, dose-escalation, non-randomized, open-label, single-center study of DS-8895a in patients with advanced or metastatic Ephrin type-A receptor 2 (EphA2)-positive cancers. The primary study objective was to determine the safety of DS-8895a, with secondary objectives of determining the biodistribution, tumor uptake (bioimaging), pharmacokinetics (PK), antitumor and pharmacodynamic response, and correlations between pharmacodynamics and clinical outcomes, as appropriate.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of daratumumab in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone to that of lenalidomide and dexamethasone in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) in participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (a blood cancer of plasma cells) who are not candidates for high dose chemotherapy (treatment of disease, usually cancer, by chemical agents) and autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).
The purpose of the trial was to evaluate and describe the long term safety of tolvaptan in participants with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
The purpose of the VIBE study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Sympara Therapeutic System in the treatment of hypertension
The study is an open-label, randomized, comparative, multicenter clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of ABX203, a new chronic hepatitis B therapeutic vaccine administered as an adjunct therapy to nucleos(t)ide analogs (NUCs), in maintaining control of Hepatitis B disease after cessation of treatment with NUCs in subjects with HBeAg negative chronic Hepatitis B.
The primary objective of the PK Lead-in Phase of the study is to evaluate the steady state pharmacokinetics (PK) and confirm the dose of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF) fixed dose combination (FDC) in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected pediatric participants. The PK Lead-in Phase will also evaluate the safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity of 10 days of dosing of LDV/SOF FDC in HCV-infected pediatric participants. The Treatment Phase will be initiated by age cohort after confirmation of age-appropriate LDV/SOF FDC dosage levels. Participants from the PK Lead-in Phase will immediately rollover into the Treatment Phase with no interruption of study drug administration. The primary objective of the Treatment Phase is to evaluate the antiviral efficacy, safety, and tolerability of LDV/SOF FDC +/- ribavirin (RBV) for 12 or 24 weeks in pediatric participants with HCV. During screening, participants will receive placebo to match LDV/SOF FDC to assess ability to swallow tablets.
