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.
To examine the safety and efficacy of response guided triple therapy (PEG-IFN, Ribavirin, Telaprevir) for the treatment of early chronic HCV infection.
This study is investigating measurement of prostate motion during radiotherapy using the implanted gold markers. If motion is greater than 3mm then the beam will be stopped and position corrected (gating).
The purpose of this study was to estimate the maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended dose for expansion of LDK378 as a single agent, assess safety, tolerability and anti-tumor activity and characterize single and multiple-dose pharmacokinetics when administered orally to pediatric patients with ALK-activated tumors, with and without food.
Formal study hypothesis: Cranial reconstruction using mesenchymal stromal cells and resorbable biomaterials, will result in the patient producing their own bone to fill the void which will reduce the risk of infection and resorption, lead to a better cosmetic result and obviate any long term consequence of having a synthetic material in vivo. Introduction: There are several reasons that parts of the skull may need to be removed: - After trauma to relieve brain swelling - During brain surgery (for brain cancer) - After trauma where the bone is so badly fractured/fragmented it needs to be removed. In all but the last case the bone flap is temporarily stored in a freezer and once the brain swelling has subsided it is reinserted. This procedure is called "autologous cranioplasty"; autologous, because it originally came from the patient and cranioplasty, referring to the repair. Although this is a straightforward procedure, there are a number of complications including infection and bone resorption that can occur. This study: Stromal cells have a proven ability to aid in bony healing. Furthermore stromal cells on a ceramic framework encased in a plastic scaffold have been shown in a small clinical trial to lead to healing of skull defects. In the present study, it is proposed to add stromal cells from a suitable donor to medical grade ceramic granules, place them in between specially moulded plastic scaffolds and insert the sandwich into the skull. Both the ceramic and plastic materials are medical grade and commonly used in reconstructive surgery, the ceramic for packing into bony defects due to trauma or removal of cancer and the polymer in bony reconstruction. Both materials are approved by the TGA. They are designed to dissolve away over time as the body's own blood vessels and cells populate the sandwich and create the patient's new bone. It has been proven that without the encouragement of the cells and temporary scaffold materials, a hole in the skull will not heal. Given the incidence of bone resorption/infection and metal plate infection using traditional methods, it would seem prudent to provide a construct that will allow controlled replacement with the patient's own bone, thus negating any adverse long-term complications with synthetic materials that remain for life.
The primary objective for this study is to evaluate the proportion of subjects who achieve SVR12 (HCV RNA < LLOQ (target not detected) at post-treatment follow-up Week 12 in subjects with Genotype(GT)-1b, -4 and GT-2, -3
The study is designed to compare the clinical benefit following treatment with letrozole in combination with PD-0332991 versus letrozole in combination with placebo in postmenopausal women with ER(+)/HER2(-) advanced breast cancer who have not received prior systemic anti cancer therapies for their advanced/metastatic disease.
This multicenter, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, two arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of paclitaxel with GDC-0941 versus paclitaxel with placebo in participants with locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.
The GLOBAL study is an international multi-center, prospective study designed to enroll up to 10,000 consecutive eligible subjects who are clinically referred for coronary CT angiography for assessment of suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). The purpose of the study is to perform extensive biomarker analysis of atherosclerosis in patients phenotyped using advanced imaging modalities of atherosclerosis.
This is a Phase I, multicenter, 2-part study with Part 1 designed as a safety lead-in and Part 2 designed to evaluate the effect of GSK2118436 on cardiac repolarization (corrected QT interval [QTc] duration) as compared with placebo in subjects with V600 BRAF mutation-positive tumors. Each part of the study will consist of screening (14 days prior to the start of the study treatment), treatment and follow-up period (14 days). In Part 1 in Cohort 1 six subjects will receive GSK2118436 225 mg twice a day (BID) on study days 1 to 7 and a single 225 milligram (mg) dose on morning of Day 8. Based on the safety data of subjects in Cohort 1 subjects will be enrolled in Cohort 2 and the dose of GSK2118436 will be escalated to 300 mg BID. If the 225 mg dose of GSK2118436 is not well tolerated in Cohort 1 (i.e., 2 or more dose-limiting toxicities [DLTs]), then Cohort 2 of Part 1 will not be initiated and a dose of 150 mg BID of GSK2118436 will be administered in Part 2 of the study. In Cohort 2 six subjects will receive GSK2118436 300 mg BID on Study Days 1 to 7 and a single 300 mg dose on the morning of Day 8. Based on the safety data of subjects in Cohort 2 subjects will be enrolled in Part 2. If the 300 mg BID dose level of GSK2118436 is not well tolerated, then the highest tolerated dose will be selected for Part 2 of the study. In Part 1 of the study the decision to proceed to the next cohort or Part 2 of the study will be based on the safety data of at least 6 evaluable subjects (<=1 DLTs during the 14 days following the first dose of GSK2118436). In Part 2 of the study eligible subjects will receive a single dose of GSK2118436/placebo (4 capsules of 75 mg/highest tolerated dose) orally on the first 2 days of the study followed by 2 doses daily for 6 days and a single dose on the 9th day. There will be 1 day when a placebo will be given. In both the parts of the study serial blood samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis for GSK2118436 and its metabolites (GSK2285403, GSK2298683 and GSK2167542) will be obtained at the same time points on the first and last day of dosing (2nd day of dosing also included for Part 2). Safety electrocardiogram (ECG)s will be performed at several timepoints during the study. In Part 2 Holter ECG monitoring will be performed for 24 hours on the 1st, 2nd and 9th days of dosing.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of cervical occlusion versus no cervical occlusion in women with cervical cerclages.
