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 determine if newly diagnosed (within previous 3 months) participants with metastatic (spread of cancer cells from one part of the body to another ) hormone-naive prostate cancer (mHNPC) who have high-risk prognostic factors will benefit from the addition of abiraterone acetate plus low-dose prednisone to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT; lutenizing hormone releasing hormone [LHRH] agonists or surgical castration).
Women with measured menstrual bleeding >80ml per cycle and no contraindications to combined oral contraceptive use will be assigned to an oestradiol/nomegestrol acetate oral contraceptive for 3 cycles during which they will collect all menstrual blood and send all used sanitary protection to the laboratory at the University of Sydney for estimation of blood loss by the alkaline haematin method. Hypothesis: An estradiol/nomogestrel acetate (E2/NOMAC) combined pill will be effective in controlling HMB in the majority of women without structural pelvic pathology. Main outcome: The primary efficacy end-point will be the proportion of women with a reduction of menstrual blood loss ≥ 50% from baseline.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate (Abatacept) for treatment of lupus nephritis when used on a background of Cellcept (mycophenolate) and prednisone (corticosteroids)
This study is being conducted to further investigate the safety of prolonged exposure to EVP-6124 in subjects with Schizophrenia receiving a stable dose of an atypical antipsychotic who completed double-blind treatment on studies EVP-6124-015 and EVP-6124-016.
The purpose of this study is to determine if EVP-6124 (an alpha-7 nAChR agonist) enhances the cognitive abilities of subjects with Schizophrenia who are also taking stable antipsychotic therapy.
This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of two trough-ranges of everolimus given as adjunctive therapy in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) who had refractory partial-onset seizures. The study consisted of 4 phases for each patient Baseline phase:[From Screening Week -8 (V1) to randomization visit at Week 0 (V2)], Core phase [from randomization at Week 0 (V2) to Week 18 (V11)], Extension phase [from Week 18 (V11) until 48 weeks after the last patient had completed the core phase] and Post Extension phase [from end of Extension phase to end of study].
This open-label, randomized, 2-arm, multicenter, phase 3 study has the primary objective of comparing the modified progression-free survival (mPFS) obtained with brentuximab vedotin (ADCETRIS®) plus AVD (doxorubicin [Adriamycin], vinblastine, and dacarbazine; abbreviated A+AVD) versus that obtained with ABVD (doxorubicin [Adriamycin],bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine) for the frontline treatment of advanced classical Hodgkin lymphoma(HL)
The study hypothesis under test is that administration of a CCR2/5 antagonist to subjects with type 2 diabetes and overt nephropathy will result in a reduction in urinary albumin, a surrogate for improved glomerular filtration.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of peripheral nerve stimulation utilizing a subcutaneous lead implant technique (SQS) plus optimized medical management (OMM) versus OMM alone in patients suffering from back pain due to Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS).
Sunitinib is an oral drug used for treatment of advanced kidney cancer. The standard dose is 50mg, but many patients require a dose decrease due to side-effects. Drug levels of sunitinib vary approximately 10-fold between patients. This study will measure blood levels of sunitinib and its metabolite, and correlate these with side-effects and the response to the treatment. The study aims to establish whether blood levels change with time, and see how useful blood levels are for monitoring patients treated with sunitinib.
