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 study will evaluate the antiviral efficacy of combination therapy with sofosbuvir (SOF) plus ribavirin (RBV) for 48 weeks in adults with compensated and decompensated chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Approximately 50 adults will be randomized (1:1) to receive study drug for 48 weeks or take part in an untreated observational arm for the first 24 weeks followed by study drug for another 48 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to establish the safety and effectiveness of the Blazer Open-Irrigated radiofrequency ablation catheter for the treatment of drug refractory, recurrent, symptomatic, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
Currently the standard treatment for early stage endometrial cancer or endometrial hyperplasia with atypia is a total hysterectomy (an operation to remove the uterus) and removal of both ovaries. While highly effective, this surgery carries significant side effects for: - young women who still wish to have children and would lose fertility; and - women with one or more disorders (or diseases) in addition to the early stage endometrial cancer or endometrial hyperplasia with atypia and/or morbid obesity who are at risk for surgical complications making surgery unsafe. This study will access a new approach to the treatment of endometrial cancer to spare women of having to undergo major surgery that may be unwanted or unnecessary. Mirena is approved in Australia for contraception, to treat heavy bleeding, and to prevent thickening of the lining of the uterus (endometrial hyperplasia) during oestrogen replacement therapy (HRT). However it is not approved to treat early stage endometrial cancer or endometrial hyperplasia with atypia. This research project will test to see if Mirena is an effective treatment for early stage endometrial cancer and endometrial hyperplasia with atypia. Metformin is approved in Australia to treat Diabetes. However it is not approved to treat early stage endometrial cancer or endometrial hyperplasia with atypia. Therefore, it is an experimental treatment for early stage endometrial cancer and endometrial hyperplasia with atypia. This means that it must be tested to see if it is an effective treatment for early stage endometrial cancer and endometrial hyperplasia with atypia. Weight loss interventions are feasible and safe, and already being implemented by gynaecologic oncologist to make women eligible for surgery. Weight loss of 7% body weight induces a large biological effect (for example reduces incidence of diabetes by 58%, and hypertension by 26%).
This is an open-label, randomized, phase 2 study of an IDO inhibitor, INCB024360 (epacadostat) versus tamoxifen in biochemical recurrent only ovarian cancer patients following complete remission with first-line chemotherapy.
A single-arm, open-label, two-stage multicenter, phase II study. Patients were pre-screened for ALK positive status. Treatment with LDK378 at 750 mg qd was continued until the patient experienced unacceptable toxicity that precluded further treatment, discontinued treatment at the discretion of the investigator or patient, started a new anticancer therapy and/or died. LDK378 was continued beyond RECIST defined progressive disease (PD) as assessed by the investigator, if in the judgment of the investigator, there was evidence of clinical benefit. Patients who discontinued the study medication in the absence of progression continued to be followed for tumor assessment until the time of PD as assessed by the investigator. Male and female patients aged 18 or over with ALK-rearranged non-small cell cancer (NSCLC) were screened for eligibility. Patients had to have received no prior crizotinib, and had to be chemotherapy-naïve or been pretreated with cytotoxic chemotherapy (up to three prior lines).
The purpose of this study is to find out whether rivaroxaban is safe to use in children and how long it stays in the body. There will also be a check for bleeding and worsening of blood clots.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of gevokizumab in the treatment of active non-infectious intermediate, posterior, or pan- uveitis.
The investigators hypothesize that it is feasible and safe to deliver a conservative approach to oxygen therapy in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients (a tiem frame of, on average,10 days).
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled, multiple dose study that will enroll approximately 40 systemic lupus erythematosus subjects with active lupus arthritis.
This multi-center, observational study will evaluate the treatment patterns in clinical practice, efficacy and safety of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response (or were intolerant to) treatment with non-biological DMARDs or with one biological agent. Data will be collected from each eligible patient initiated on RoActemra/Actemra treatment by their treating physician according to approved label for 6 months from start of treatment.
