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 randomized study of the European SIOP Neuroblastoma Group (SIOPEN) in high-risk neuroblastoma (stages 2, 3, 4 and 4s MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma, stage 4 MYCN non amplified > 12 months at diagnosis). The protocol consists of a rapid, dose intensive induction chemotherapy, peripheral blood stem cell harvest, attempted complete excision of the primary tumour, myeloablative therapy followed by peripheral blood stem cell rescue, radiotherapy to the site of the primary tumour and immunotherapy (R4 randomization - isotretinoin and ch14.18/CHO (Dinutuximab beta, Qarziba ®).), with or without s.c. aldesleukin (IL-2)). Patients diagnosed after the closure of R3 randomization will not be R4 randomized. For these patients the use of ch14.18/CHO antibody is recommended without scIL-2 as continuous infusion as standard of care outside of controlled trials. ch14.18/CHO received marketing authorization by EMA in May 2017 (Qarziba ®). In the induction phase, all patients receive Rapid COJEC following the result of the R3 randomization which was closed on June 8th, 2017 after inclusion of 630 patients as planned. Following induction treatment peripheral blood stem cell harvest (PBSCH) is performed and complete excision of the primary tumour will be attempted. Patients with an inadequate metastatic response to allow BuMel MAT followed by PBSCR at the end of induction should receive 2 TVD (Topotecan, Vincristine, Doxorubicin) cycles. After Rapid COJEC induction, localized patients will proceed to consolidation. Patients aged 12-18 months at diagnosis, with stage 4 neuroblastoma, no MYCN amplification and without segmental chromosomal alterations (SCAs) are thought to have a good prognosis and will stop treatment after induction therapy and surgery to the primary tumour. Consolidation consists of BuMel MAT based on the results of the R1 randomization followed by peripheral blood stem cell rescue (PBSCR) and radiotherapy to the site of the primary tumour. The R2 immunotherapy randomization using ch14.18/CHO as 8 hour infusion on 5 consecutive days ( total dose (100mg/m²) with or without aldesleukin (IL-2) alternated with isotretinoin (13-cis-RA) is closed. The amended R4 immunotherapy randomization using ch14.18/CHO as continuous infusion (total dose 100mg/m² over 10 days) with or without aldesleukin (IL-2) alternated with isotretinoin (13-cis-RA) has accrued according to plan with results pending awaiting data maturity and DMC approval.
This study is a prospective, multi-center trial wherein each included subject will receive the experimental externally focused ultrasound renal denervation therapy. It will be conducted on a maximum of fifty patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria and have signed the informed consent form. Safety is the primary endpoint of this study and will be assessed by incidence and evaluation of any serious adverse effects associated with the investigational procedure through the 52-week evaluation. Clinical utility is the secondary endpoint of this study and will be evaluated by assessing pre and post therapy systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the new ingenol derivative gels are as safe as and as well tolerated as ingenol mebutate gel when applied to AK lesions on the forearm for two consecutive days.
NG PROMUS: A Prospective, Multicenter Trial to Assess the NG PROMUS Everolimus-Eluting Platinum Chromium Coronary Stent System (NG PROMUS Stent System) for the Treatment of Atherosclerotic Lesion(s)
The aim of the study is to test if intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) patients who have contrast extravasation on computed tomography angiography, the "spot sign", have lower rates of haematoma growth when treated with tranexamic acid within 4.5 hours of stroke onset, compared to placebo.
This two-cohort, open-label, multicenter study will assess the safety, efficacy and tolerability of trastuzumab emtansine in participants with HER2-positive locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) or metastatic breast cancer (mBC) who have received prior anti-HER2 and chemotherapy-based treatment. Participants in Cohort 1 will be drawn from the general participant population; Cohort 2 will include only Asian participants.
The current study will examine the safety, tolerability, plasma pharmacokinetics (PK), and plasma pharmacodynamics (PD) of single-doses of GSK2647544.The study will be conducted as a randomized, single-blind, placebo controlled, 4-way crossover single oral ascending dose design in 2 independent cohorts, eight healthy male subjects in each of the cohorts. Each potential subject will undergo Screening visit, Treatment Phase and Follow-up visit.
GSK2251052 is a member of a novel mechanistic and structural class of antibiotics that inhibits the bacterial enzyme leucyl tRNA synthetase (LeuRS) by forming a boron adduct with tRNA and is currently in development for the treatment of hospital acquired Gramnegative infections.
It is possible to test a sample of breath from a patient, run it through a machine, and find out certain diseases in the patient without needing to do Xrays. It is sort of like a"breathalyser".In the future it is hoped this type of testing will be common, and allow certain conditions to be picked up early. One of these conditions is Cancer of the Larynx (voice box). It is not in wide use yet however a study has shown it is very effective in detecting Larynx cancer. This breath test has detected cancers at a stage when they CAN be seen on Xrays or looking in with cameras. However the larger the cancer ultimately the worse it is for the patient. It would therefore be much better to have the breath test find patients with cancers at a much smaller size. It is interesting that the cancers which the breath test HAVE found all have the same breath test signal, regardless of size. This means even smaller cancers may have the same signal. These small cancers are only 1-2 mm thick, and when found at this size almost all can be cured. We want to find a group of patients who have these early cancers and compare it to breath test result in patients who have large obvious cancers. These patients will be compared to other patients who have are negative for larynx cancer who also have a breath test. We want to prove that their breath test will be negative. You have been referred either because you have symptoms (such as cough or hoarse voice) and need a scope to look into the airways, OR your specialist has identified a spot on the larynx which needs a biopsy (sample) and then possible treatment, The spot may or may not be cancer- that is why the biopsy is needed. After that the correct treatment would be considered depending on the result, that is, whether it is a cancer or not. If possible we would like to take a test of your breath before the biopsy. Alternatively we can take a breath test 2 weeks after a biopsy. In summary this study is trying to show whether the breath test is the same in patients who have large cancers as patients with small cancers invisible on XRay and only found with careful magnification by scopes looking in. If we can show these findings it will demonstrate great potential for the breath test to find many more cancers which are truly curable.
This is a prospective, single-arm, non-randomized and open label feasibility study. The study is intended to evaluate safety and efficacy of multi-electrode radiofrequency renal denervation in patients with uncontrolled hypertension.
