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 is a multicenter, single-arm, extension study to characterize the long-term safety and tolerability of etelcalcetide in the treatment of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in adults with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) on hemodialysis.
This randomized phase III trial studies how well blinatumomab works compared with standard combination chemotherapy in treating patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed). Immunotherapy with blinatumomab may allow the body's immune system to attack and destroy some types of leukemia cells. It is not yet known whether blinatumomab is more effective than standard combination chemotherapy in treating relapsed B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
The purpose of the first part of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of a single dose of AEM-28, an apolipoprotein E mimetic, in subjects with high total cholesterol who are otherwise healthy subjects. The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of AEM-28 will also be evaluated. The second part of this study will be a multiple ascending dose evaluation of AEM-28 in patients with refractory hypercholesterolemia. AEM-28 has demonstrated significant lipid lowering activity and positive effects on the artery wall. AEM-28 is being developed for the treatment of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Fractional flow reserve (FFR, (coronary pressure wire-based index for assessing the ischemic potential of a coronary lesion)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) will result in similar outcomes to coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG).
This Phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study will investigate the efficacy and safety of etrolizumab during induction and maintenance of remission compared with placebo in the treatment of participants with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) who have been previously exposed to TNF inhibitors.
This trial is conducted globally. The aim of the trial is to compare sequential addition of insulin aspart versus further dose increase with insulin degludec/liraglutide in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus, previously treated with insulin degludec/liraglutide and metformin and in need of further intensification. This is an extension to trial NN9068-3952, NCT01952145 (DUAL™ V).
The STAREE study will examine whether treatment with statin (atorvastatin 40mg) compared with placebo will prolong disability free survival and reduce major cardiovascular events amongst healthy elderly people (≥70 years).
Many types of cancer are primarily treated with surgery and patient survival is directly related to the extent to which the tumor is able to be removed. It is often difficult for surgeons to distinguish tumor tissue from normal tissue or to detect tumor cells that have spread from the original tumor site, resulting in incomplete removal of the tumor and reduced patient survival. In addition, in some sites, such as the brain, it is critical to avoid damage to normal tissue around the tumor to prevent adverse effects of surgery on function. We hypothesize that BLZ-100 will improve surgical outcomes by allowing surgeons to visualize the edges of the tumor and small groups of cancer cells that have spread to other sites in real-time, as they operate.
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is one of the most prevalent psychiatric disorders with high morbidity and mortality. It affects the lives of millions worldwide and is often highly incapacitating, leading to significant psychosocial dysfunction. Moreover, nearly all patients have experienced suicidal ideation and about 10% actually commit suicide, a rate almost 50 times higher than in the general population. Mostly young women are at greater risk for the disorder and are three times more likely to be diagnosed with BPD than men. BPD aetiology is complex and could be explained by both biological and environmental factors. Among the environmental factors, sexual or physical abuse, parental divorce, loss or illnesses are identified as the most common ones. These factors can induce dysfunctional behaviours, which might cause emotional dysregulation, high impulsivity and frequent self- injurious behaviour. However, there are no pharmacologic interventions that are known to be specifically effective to treat BPD. Therapeutic options for this devastating disorder is still far from adequate for treating acute illness episodes, relapses, and recurrences and in restoring premorbid functioning. In addition, some patients are unable to tolerate existing therapies for BPD, which leads to either frequent changes in medications or to non-adherence. Therefore there is an urgent need for the development of more rapidly effective treatments for BPD. A growing body of evidence suggests that glutamatergic neurotransmission, in particular N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) subtype may play a role in the pathophysiology of multiple psychiatric disorders. This has led to various clinical trials with glutamate modulating drugs. The trial drug is an uncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist approved for Alzheimer's disease is increasingly being studied in a variety of non-dementia psychiatric disorders. Results from these studies have proved that the trial drug was safe and well tolerated and has the potential for use in the treatment of psychiatric disorders. To date, there are no published data on the use of trial drug in the treatment for BPD. Therefore, the investigators intend to study the efficacy of this novel drug as an addition to ongoing therapy with atypical antipsychotics in patients with Borderline Personality Disorder. This study will recruit 150 BPD patients. The patients will be randomly allocated to receive either the study medication (20mg/ day) or placebo via oral administration for twelve weeks. To observe the efficacy of the trial treatment, all participants will be assessed at various time intervals for different borderline and cognitive symptoms.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate ovicidal efficacy of a single application of abametapir lotion 0.74% w/w intended for the treatment of head lice.
