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 first 12 weeks of this study will compare the efficacy of etanercept 50 mg once-weekly to placebo in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis who have not responded well to infliximab or adalimumab plus methotrexate. This comparison will be performed for all subjects and separately for subjects who are anti-drug antibody positive for one of these medications. From week 12 to week 24, all subjects will receive etanercept 50 mg once-weekly. The effect of anti-drug antibody status on the efficacy of etanercept as well as the safety profile of etanercept in these subjects will also be evaluated throughout the study.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) results from the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing ß cells. Although exogenous insulin is widely available, it is not possible for affected individuals to consistently achieve euglycemia with current technology, and thus they are at risk for devastating long-term complications. This phase II study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of imatinib mesylate as a novel therapy for new-onset T1DM. Imatinib is a first-in-class tyrosine kinase inhibitor. This study will explore the potential role of short-term therapy with imatinib to induce tolerance and possibly lead to a durable long-term remission of T1DM.
In the phase Ib, the primary purpose is to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)(s)/recommended phase ll dose (RP2D) and schedule of LEE011 and MEK162 orally administered combination. Once the MTD(s)/RP2D have been determined for each tested schedule, additional patients will be enrolled in the phase II portion of the study at the RP2D on the chosen schedule in order to assess the anti-tumor activity of the combination in addition to continued evaluation of safety.
The objective is to demonstrate the effect of phenolic acids on endothelial function.
The objective of the SAMURAI Clinical Study is to collect data to confirm the safety, performance and effectiveness of the ImageReady System for use in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) environment when used in accordance with the Conditions of Use included in the Boston Scientific MRI Technical Guide
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (E/C/F/TAF) fixed-dose combination (FDC) versus elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (E/C/F/TDF) FDC in HIV-1 positive, antiretroviral treatment-naive adults.
To provide data on the long-term safety and tolerability of FTY720 in patients with primary progressive MS when administered via capsule once daily.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PCI-32765 (ibrutinib) administered to patients with chemoimmunotherapy-resistant follicular lymphoma (FL).
The objective of the study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of linagliptin 5 mg qd compared to placebo given for 24 weeks in inadequately controlled T2DM patients on empagliflozin 10 mg or 25 mg and maximum tolerated dose of metformin. The primary objective of efficacy evaluation is planned after 24 weeks of treatment. The study is designed to show superiority of the combination of empagliflozin and linagliptin over empagliflozin alone.
Type-2 diabetes is one of the fastest growing chronic diseases worldwide. This trend is mainly driven by a global increase in the prevalence of obesity. The PREVIEW study has been initiated to find out the most effective lifestyle-components (diet and physical activity) in the prevention of Type-2 diabetes. The project consists of a randomized lifestyle-intervention with the more specific aim to determine the preventative impact of a high-protein and low-GI diet in combination with moderate or high intensity physical activity compared with a moderate-protein and moderate GI diet in combination with the same activity levels on the incidence of Type-2 diabetes in predisposed, pre-diabetic children, young and older adults. The trial will be performed in 6 EU countries (Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, Spain, Netherlands, UK) and Australia and New Zealand. A total of 2,500 overweight or obese adult participants (25-70 y) as well as 150 children and adolescents aged 10—18 y) will be recruited. All adult participants are first treated by a low-calorie diet for 8 weeks, with an aim to reach ≥ 8% weight reduction. Children and adolescents are treated separately with a conventional weight-reduction diet, with-out a specific aim for absolute weight loss. The adult participants are randomized into two different diet interventions and two exercise interventions for a total of 148 weeks. This period aims at preventing Type-2 diabetes by weight-maintenance (prevention of relapse in reduced body weight) and by independent metabolic effects of diet and physical activity. The primary endpoint of the study is the incidence of Type-2 diabetes in the adults during 3 years (156 weeks) according to diet (high protein/low-GI versus moderate protein/moderate-GI, adjusted for physical activity), based on a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test and/or HbA1c. For children and adolescents: Change in insulin resistance at 2 years after randomization to high protein versus moderate protein diet, measured by insulin resistance analyzed by the homeostatic model (HOMA-IR) as well as physiological improvement of health with respect to pre-diabetic characteristics. Our hypothesis is that a high-protein, low-GI diet will be superior in preventing type-2 diabetes, compared with a moderate protein, moderate GI diet, and that high-intensity physical activity will be superior compared to moderate-intensity physical activity.
