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, multinational, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose range finding study to compare the efficacy and safety of different doses of pridopidine versus placebo in the treatment of motor impairment in Huntington's Disease (HD).
The purpose of this Clinical investigation is to assess the impact of the Multi Point Pacing (MPP) feature at 12 months in the treatment of patients not responding to standard Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) after 6 months.
The purpose of this open-label, multicenter, randomized, Phase III study is to evaluate the benefit of venetoclax in combination with rituximab compared with bendamustine in combination with rituximab in participants with relapsed or refractory CLL. Participants will be randomly assigned in 1:1 ratio to receive either venetoclax + rituximab (Arm A) or bendamustine + rituximab (Arm B).
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Micra Transcatheter Pacing System and to assess long term performance.
Barretts mucosa is a premalignant condition of the oesophagus, which can progress to cancer. Oesophageal cancer is aggressive, with a 5 year survival of only ~15%. High risk Barretts mucosa, containing high grade dysplasia or early cancer, can be removed by endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) during gastroscopy. If patients can be effectively treated by EMR while they have premalignant or early malignant disease, it is a curative procedure. Currently, the major limitation of Complete Barretts Excision (CBE) by EMR, is scar tissue development in the oesophagus, leading to stricture formation and difficulty swallowing (dysphagia). If a safe and effective method could be found to reduce this risk, the treatment options for early oesophageal cancer would be greatly improved. CBE is performed as a two stage procedure, with 2 gastroscopies 8 weeks apart. In this randomised, doubleblind study, eligible and enrolled patients are randomised after the 1st stage CBE to receive either prednisolone tablets or placebo. Inclusion criteria are patients with short segment (<3cm circumferential disease) Barretts oesophagus with high grade dysplasia or early cancer. The treatment period is for 6 weeks after both CBE sessions. Prednisolone is given in a reducing dose over the 6 weeks, starting at 40mg daily. The primary outcome is symptomatic dysphagia development. Endoscopic dilation will be performed as required for dysphagia secondary to symptomatic oesophageal stricture formation persisting for ≥2 days, or complete dysphagia for any time period. Endoscopic surveillance with biopsies will occur at a 3 month, 6 month then 12 month interval following CBE, to assess for complete removal of Barretts mucosa. Following two stage CBE, stricture rates without preemptive therapy in noncircumferential, circumferential <2cm, and circumferential <3cm disease, are estimated to be 30%, 50% and 70% respectively. The investigators predict a 50% reduction in stricture rate with oral steroid therapy. With a primary analyses of oral steroid versus placebo tested at a 5% level of significance in a two tailed test, 58 patients are needed per group. Allowing for a 5% drop out rate, a total of 126 patients are required. The study will be performed at five Australian Tertiary Hospitals, and the recruitment period is estimated to be 2 years.
Primary Objective: The primary objective of this phase 2/3 study is to evaluate the efficacy of olipudase alfa (recombinant human acid sphingomyelinase) administered intravenously once every 2 weeks for 52 weeks in adult participants with acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) by assessing changes in: 1) spleen volume as measured by abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (and, for the United States [US] only, in association with participant perception related to spleen volume as measured by splenomegaly-related score [SRS]); and 2) infiltrative lung disease as measured by the pulmonary function test, diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO). Secondary Objectives: - To confirm the safety of olipudase alfa administered intravenously once every 2 weeks for 52 weeks. - To characterize the effect of olipudase alfa on the participant perception related to spleen volume as measured by the SRS after 52 weeks of study drug administration. (For the US, the effect of olipudase alfa on the SRS is part of the primary objective). - To characterize the effect of olipudase alfa after 52 weeks of study drug administration on the following outcome measures assessed sequentially: - The effect of olipudase alfa on liver volume; - The effect of olipudase alfa on platelet count; - The effect of olipudase alfa on fatigue; - The effect of olipudase alfa on pain; - The effect of olipudase alfa on dyspnea.
A Phase 3 clinical trial to examine the efficacy of duvelisib monotherapy versus ofatumumab monotherapy in subjects with relapsed or refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL).
This is a 26-week, randomized extension of the Phase 3 double-blind placebo-controlled studies, EVP-6124-024 and EVP-6124-025. In this extension study, subjects who complete study EVP-6124-024 or EVP-6124-025 and fulfill all entry criteria will be randomized to receive EVP-6124 for an additional 26 weeks.
Current standard treatment for prostate cancer involves giving patients approximately 40 doses of radiotherapy, one dose per day over an 8 week period. The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of giving two separate high doses of a special type of precision radiotherapy to the prostate and then 5 weeks (instead of 8 weeks) of standard radiotherapy. Hypothesis: It is safe to give patients an extra two doses of high-precision radiotherapy prior to commencing a shorter period of standard radiotherapy for prostate cancer.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of enzalutamide in patients with non metastatic prostate cancer.
