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.
The primary objectives of this study are to compare the efficacy of treatment with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) fixed-dose combination (FDC) for 12 weeks with that of sofosbuvir (SOF) + ribavirin (RBV) for 24 weeks and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of each treatment regimen in participants with chronic genotype 3 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of topiramate monotherapy compared with levetiracetam another standard antiepileptic drug (AED), as monotherapy for new-onset or recent-onset epilepsy (seizure disorder) on pediatric growth and maturation, bone mineralization, and kidney stone formation in children aged 2 to 15 years.
To compare the efficacy of inebilizumab (MEDI-551) versus placebo in reducing the risk of an neuromyelitis optica/neuromyelitis optica- spectrum disorders (NMO/NMOSD) attack in participants with NMO/NMOSD.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of BAY1841788 (ODM-201) in patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
Analysis of long term outcomes of patients undergoing endoscopic mucosal resection for Barrett's oesophagus with high grade dysplasia and/or early intramucosal carcinoma (IMC).
The purpose of this study is to collect prospective observational data regarding endoscopic management and outcomes of patients with Barrett's oesophagus (BO) with high grade dysplasia and/or intramucosal carcinoma. To observe the natural history of patients with low grade dysplastic and non dysplastic Barrett's oesophagus
The investigators have recently become proficient in a new, and we believe more effective technique for polyp removal. Known as Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD). ESD involves removing the polyp in one piece. It is preferable to remove the polyp in one piece as it minimises the chance of leaving residual polyp tissue behind. There have also been recent studies overseas that have shown this new technique to be quite effective. In this study, half of the patients will receive the newly developed technique of polyp removal (ESD), while the other half will receive conventional Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) treatment. This study will allow us to show which technique results in lower recurrence rates and is more effective.
The primary objective of the study was to investigate the association between residual disease activity at Baseline as detected by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and the occurrence of flares in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) randomized to an adalimumab dose tapering regimen controlled by adalimumab withdrawal.
Topical minoxidil is the most common drug used for the treatment of AGA in men. While topical minoxidil exhibits a good safety profile, the efficacy in the overall population remains relatively low i.e., 30-40% re-grow hair. To observe significant improvement in hair growth, minoxidil is typically used twice daily for a period of at least 16 weeks. Due to the significant time commitment and low response rate, a diagnostic test to identify non-responders prior to initiating therapy would be advantageous. Minoxidil is converted in the scalp to its active form, minoxidil sulfate, by the sulfotransferase enzyme SULT1A1. The enzyme expression is variable among individuals. We have demonstrated in two prior feasibility studies that the SULT1A1 enzyme activity in plucked hair follicles correlates with minoxidil response in the treatment of AGA and thus can server as a predictive biomarker. Consequently, we developed a minoxidil response in-vitro diagnostic kit intended to identify non-responders prior to initiating therapy with 5% topical minoxidil foam. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical validity of the minoxidil response in-vitro diagnostic kit.
Patients will be randomised to have endoscopic clips applied to the Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) site following complete removal of the lesion, or will not receive clips and proceed with standard of care.
