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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Hydros-TA Joint Therapy for relief of pain due to OA of the knee. Hydros-TA is designed to provide fast acting and long lasting pain relief for up to six months with a single IA injection.
A study to collect survival data on patients previously enrolled in Abraxane pancreatic cancer study CA046.
Anaemia is a condition in which blood has a lower than normal number of red blood cells. It can also occur if red blood cells do not contain enough haemoglobin, an oxygen carrying part of blood. Anaemia is common in patients with chronic kidney disease. Healthy kidneys produce a hormone called erythropoietin, which stimulates the bone marrow to produce the proper number of red blood cells needed to carry oxygen to vital organs. Chronic kidney disease is a general term that means that the kidneys are not functioning to their full potential. The study drug, BAY85-3934, is being evaluated as a drug to increase the body's ability to produce erythropoietin. The purpose of this study is to find out if the study drug, a tablet taken orally, is safe and effective for the treatment of anaemia associated with chronic kidney disease. The study will enroll 120 patients at multiple locations in Europe, Asia and Australia. Participation will involve a screening visit and between 12 and 15 study visits scheduled over a period of approximately 5 to 7 months. The estimated total duration of study treatment will be 16 weeks. During these scheduled visits patients will undergo a number of procedures to confirm efficacy and safety of the study drug, including measurement of heart rate and blood pressure, physical examination, Electrocardiogram and blood/urine sample collection for laboratory tests. The study will be conducted at 3 hospitals in the UK. Bayer HealthCare AG is funding this research.

Sympathetic activation is a hallmark of end-stage renal disease and adversely affects cardiovascular prognosis. Hypertension is present in the vast majority of these patients and plays a key role in the progressive deterioration of renal function and in the exceedingly high rate of cardiovascular events. Selective catheter-based renal denervation has been shown to be safe and effective in attaining improved and sustained blood pressure control in patients with resistant hypertension and normal renal function. The investigators hypothesize that catheter-based renal denervation is a safe and effective intervention to achieve sustained reduction in sympathetic nerve activity, BP and target organ damage in hypertensive End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients, which will result in improved cardiovascular outcomes.
This primary aim of this study is to test the impact of a strategy of perioperative chloride-restriction through intravenous (IV) fluid therapy on the incidence of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery. A prospective, open-label, single-centre 4-period sequential study of varying strategies of perioperative IV fluid composition will test the hypothesis that a perioperative protocol for the administration of chloride-poor intravenous fluids compared to chloride-rich intravenous fluids will reduce the incidence of AKI after adult cardiothoracic surgery.
This is a long term study to evaluate common therapeutic algorithms and possible predictive parameters for Somatuline Autogel treatment in patients with Acromegaly.
This open-label, multicenter, Phase IIIb study will assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a combination therapy of intravenous (IV) pertuzumab (Perjeta), trastuzumab (Herceptin) SC, and taxane chemotherapy (docetaxel, paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel) as first-line therapy in participants with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC). All participants will be treated with 3-week cycles of pertuzumab IV (840 milligrams [mg] first dose; subsequent doses of 420 mg) and trastuzumab SC (600 milligrams [mg]). The taxane treatment regimen will be determined by the investigator. Participants will continue therapy until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or the participant withdraws consent, whichever occurs first.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study in overweight and obese subjects with cardiovascular (CV) disease and/or multiple CV risk factors.
This phase II trial studies how well combination chemotherapy works in treating younger patients with newly diagnosed, non-metastatic desmoplastic medulloblastoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vincristine sulfate, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, etoposide, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.
