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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety for 2 different rivaroxaban treatment strategies and one Vitamin K Antagonist (VKA) treatment strategy utilizing various combinations of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) or low-dose aspirin (ASA) or clopidogrel (or prasugrel or ticagrelor).
The aim of this project is to evaluate tailored primary systemic therapy with sequential nab paclitaxel and epirubicin and cyclophosphamide in early breast cancer. This study will be an open label phase II clinical trial. The hypothesis is that tailored neoadjuvant chemotherapy with sequential nab paclitaxel and epirubicin and cyclophosphamide is feasible and achieves high response rates. It is proposed that 60 patients will be enrolled in this study including 40 patients which are likely to have chemotherapy sensitive tumors and 20 patients who have ER positive tumors and are more likely to respond to hormonal treatment as an exploratory cohort. The target population is women with early breast cancer who are eligible for primary systemic therapy. The overall response rate in the breast will be measured. Secondary endpoints will include response rates in axillary lymph nodes, safety and tolerability and the rate of breast conservation. Participants will have a blood test to determine a specific genotype status that may help in predicting sensitivity to chemotherapy. This genotype test result is exploratory and will not influence selection of therapy for participants. Patients will also be given the option of having he their tumour tissues used in laboratory studies involving isolating cancer initiating cells from the tumor to subsequently generate breast cancer models in the laboratory and using aptamers (chemical antibodies) to target tumours.
In the First-line Antimetabolites as Steroid-sparing Treatment (FAST) Uveitis Trial, the investigators propose to establish which immunosuppressive therapy, methotrexate or mycophenolate mofetil, is more effective as a first-line, corticosteroid-sparing agent for the treatment of non-infectious uveitis in a block-randomized, observer-masked, comparative effectiveness trial.
The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of IV minocycline in improving neurological and functional outcome after acute non-penetrating traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). The primary hypothesis is that intravenous minocycline twice daily (800 mg initial dose tapered to 400 mg by 100 mg at each dose then administered to the end of day 7) administered to subjects with acute traumatic non-penetrating cervical SCI starting within 12 hours of injury will improve motor recovery as assessed by the International Standards for Neurologic Classification of Spinal Cord Injury - ISNCSCI (a.k.a. ASIA) neurological examination measured between 3 months and 1 year post-injury, compared to placebo. The secondary hypotheses are that the above minocycline treatment will also results in improvement in ASIA sensory improvement, in ASIA grade and in functional outcome as assessed by Spinal Cord Independence Measure (SCIM) and Short Form 36 (SF-36), compared to placebo. In addition the effect of minocycline on neurological and functional outcome after SCI is expected to be more pronounced in those subjects with motor incomplete SCI compared to those with motor compete SCI. A subgroup analysis will be undertaken to examine this hypothesis.
The primary purpose of the study was to compare the antitumor activity of LDK378 versus reference chemotherapy. Patients in the chemotherapy arm were given the option to switch to LDK378 after confirmed progressive disease (PD), while also had the choice to continue with pemetrexed treatment.
This will be a randomized, open-label, sequential, single dose, 4-period crossover study. This study is being conducted to measure the relative bioavailability of the original gelatin capsule (GC) formulation and two new formulations (hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose [HPMC] capsule and enteric coated tablet [ECT]) of afuresertib (AFU), in the fed and fasted state. The study will be composed of Screening, Treatment, and Follow-up Periods. Screening assessments to determine subject eligibility will be performed within 3 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug in the Treatment Period. Eligible subjects will be randomized to receive 4 of the 6 possible study treatments (A: AFU GC administered in a fasted state, B: AFU GC administered in a fed state, C: AFU HPMC capsule administered in a fasted state, D: AFU HPMC capsule administered in a fed state, E: AFU ECT administered in a fasted state, F: AFU ECT administered in a fed state) in 4 treatment periods (one per treatment period). Subjects will receive a single dose of one of the six study treatments (A, B, C, D, E, F) on Day 1 of each Dosing Period, according to one of the 6 treatment sequences (CEDA, EFAB, ABFC, BDCE, FCBD, DAEF). There will be a minimum of 10 Day washout period between the doses administered in each Treatment Period. A Follow-up visit will be conducted within 10-14 days after the last dose. A subject's total time involved in the study will be approximately 9 weeks. At least 36 subjects will be enrolled in the study, to ensure that at least 6 subjects will be randomized to receive each treatment sequence.
A phase III, randomized, case-controlled, open-label, 500-subject clinical trial of minimally invasive surgery plus rt-PA in the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and user preference of the Newport AutoSet for Her in female obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. Efficacy will be evaluated by comparing the apnea and hypopnea index (AHI) and oxygen desaturation index (ODI) of the Newport AutoSet for Her algorithm to a standard algorithm. User preference will be evaluated by subjective feedback relating to comfort, ease of falling asleep, sleep disturbance and feeling of being refreshed.
Dystrophinopathy is a disease continuum that includes Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which develops in boys. It is caused by a mutation in the gene for dystrophin, a protein that is important for maintaining normal muscle structure and function. Loss of dystrophin causes muscle fragility that leads to weakness and loss of walking ability. A specific type of mutation, called a nonsense (premature stop codon) mutation is the cause of dystrophinopathy in approximately 10-15 percent (%) of boys with the disease. Ataluren is an orally delivered, investigational drug that has the potential to overcome the effects of the nonsense mutation. The main goal of this Phase 3 study is to evaluate the effect of ataluren on walking ability. The effect of ataluren on physical function, quality of life, and activities of daily living will be evaluated. This study will also provide additional information on the long-term safety of ataluren.
The study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of two dosing schedules of LDE225 in patients with relapsed/refractory acute leukemia or elderly patients with untreated acute leukemia.
