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.
Study 701-901, a multicenter, multinational, longitudinal, non-interventional observational study in subjects, at least 18 years old, diagnosed with late-onset Pompe disease prospectively collects data to understand clinical progression in terms of respiratory function, symptomology, genotype, biochemistry, endurance and selected subject-reported measures for 24 weeks followed by a 240 week additional observation period for up to 100 subjects.
The use of Kava in Generalised Anxiety Disorder: an 18-week double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study.
This is a first-in-human, Phase 1, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of MOXR0916 administered intravenously in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have progressed after all available standard therapy or for which standard therapy has proven to be ineffective or intolerable, or is considered inappropriate. This study will consist of a screening period, an initial treatment period, a re-treatment period (for participants who discontinue MOXR0916 after demonstration of prolonged clinical benefit), and a post-treatment follow-up period. Participants will be enrolled in two stages: a dose-escalation stage and an expansion stage. The planned duration of the study is approximately 3 years.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of treatment with ABT-450 co-formulated with ritonavir and ABT-267 (ABT-450/r/ABT-267) and ABT-333; 3-DAA regimen, with or without ribavirin (RBV) in adults with chronic hepatitis C virus genotype 1 (HCV GT1) infection.
This is an open-label, five- period, cross-over, randomized, single dose, single centre study in healthy subjects. This is the second clinical study for the UD-DPI. This study will ascertain whether the Pharmacokinetics (PK) systemic exposure [in terms of area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax)] of FF delivered via the UD-DPI is comparable to the systemic exposure of FF delivered via the ELLIPTA Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI). For this reason four treatment doses consisting of three dose strengths and 2 percentage blends will be assessed when delivered via the UD-DPI. This study is designed to compare the pharmacokinetic profile of various doses and blends of FF administered via UD-DPI and relative to FF administered via ELLIPTA DPI. Subjects will be screened 28 days prior to study initiation. During each treatment period, subjects will be at study site from evening prior to dosing until completion of the 48 hour post-dose PK sample collection on Day 3. Minimum 7 days washout will be between treatments after completion of all five treatments and the follow-up visit will be conducted 7-14 days post last dose. Duration of study is 13 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether cenicriviroc is effective and safe in the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in adult participants with liver fibrosis.
As an approach to improve efficacy and provide clinical benefit to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapeutic treatment regimens, Alchemia Oncology has developed a novel means for delivering anti-cancer agents to tumours. The drug delivery platform is based on the use of hyaluronic acid (HA), a novel excipient, in which, formulation with HA results in optimisation of cytotoxic drug uptake and retention within solid tumours. In the specific example of HA-Irinotecan, this new formulation of irinotecan has demonstrated enhanced efficacy in both nonclinical and early clinical studies. The current study is an investigation into the use of HA-Irinotecan in a Phase II single arm trial of FOLF(HA)iri plus cetuximab in irinotecan-naïve second line patients with KRAS wild type metastatic colorectal cancer. The study objectives are to confirm the safety and efficacy of FOLF(HA)iri plus cetuximab as second-line therapy in irinotecan-naïve metastatic colorectal cancer patients. It is expected that the study recruit approximately 40-50 patients in 1 year with subsequent treatment and follow up; thus the trial will run for approximately 2-3 years.
Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumours (NETs) are gaining increasing recognition as a highly prevalent disease, responsive to a number of therapies, some of which are proven in modern randomised controlled trials, but many of which still require high quality clinical trial evidence to confirm their effectiveness and guide their use in practice. This study is the first prospective trial to evaluate modern combination chemotherapy. The study will determine whether Carboplatin and Paclitaxel NAB is a suitable combination for comparison in a subsequent randomised controlled phase III international trial. Given the paucity of randomized studies in NETs, there are no clear evidence based guidelines. Patients are treated according to guidelines established for small cell lung cancer, incorporating platinum (cisplatin or carboplatin) based doublet treatment with etoposide. Although these tumors are initially highly chemosensitive, the natural history of this disease is such that relapses occur early, which ultimately leads to a very poor prognosis. Almost all clinical trials investigating cytotoxic chemotherapy in NETs are small single arm studies and guidelines are derived from expert opinion and from extrapolating results from small cell lung cancer studies. Prospective clinical trials in this group of patients needs to be conducted to establish an evidence based standard of care and to improve the prognosis of this highly aggressive group of tumors. Participants will receive albumin bound paclitaxel (ABRAXANE®) 100 mg/m2 administered as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 21 day cycle. Carboplatin will be given at an Area Under the Curve (AUC) = 5 mg/min/mL on Day 1 only of each 21 day cycle administered over 30 mins, beginning immediately after the completion of albumin bound paclitaxel administration. Participants can continue treatment at the investigator's discretion until disease progression, development of an unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent.
The main objectives of the PATHOS study are: To assess whether swallowing function can be improved following transoral resection of HPV-positive OPSCC, by reducing the intensity of adjuvant treatment protocols. The aim is to personalise treatment, based on disease biology (HPV status and pathology findings), to optimise patient outcomes. To demonstrate the non-inferiority of reducing the intensity of adjuvant treatment protocols in terms of overall survival in the reduced intensity treatment arms.
Project Summary: Patients who have a length of stay four or more days in ICU and requiring mechanical ventilation assistance to breathe for more than 48 hours will be invited to participate. Participants will be randomised to either receive Functional Electrical Stimulation (eStimCycle) assisted cycling or standard care. As cycling in bed has previously been shown to improve physical function, patients who receive cycling as a treatment will have one leg that cycles and the other leg that cycles with assistance of electrical stimulation as we want to establish the effectiveness of the addition of electrical stimulation of muscle. Muscle bulk, strength and physical function outcome measures will be measured at baseline, weekly in ICU, ICU discharge and hospital discharge. Cognitive function will also be measured at hospital discharge, 6- and 12-month follow-up. A small group of patients in this study will be invited to provide samples of blood, urine and muscle at ICU admission and discharge to try and determine what happens to muscle in patients who are critically ill. Significance of the Project: This is an important study because the development of ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) can result in long term limitations in physical function. Early treatment to maintain strong muscles during an intensive care stay may help speed up recovery and enhance participation in other rehabilitation treatments and improve functional activities and cognition. These are important objectives for both patients and their families. In addition understanding why the muscles become so weak so quickly in patients in ICU will help to develop treatments that may help to maintain muscle strength. Study Hypotheses: Hypothesis 1: eStimCycle versus usual care rehabilitation will improve muscle strength at hospital discharge. Hypothesis 2: eStimCycle versus usual care rehabilitation will improve cognitive function at 6 month follow up. Hypothesis 3: Patients receiving eStimCycle will have improved activity of anabolic signalling pathways and less atrophy of skeletal muscle fibre size compared with usual care rehabilitation.
