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.
Haemochromatosis is a preventable genetic iron overload disorder. Untreated, it can shorten life due mainly to liver cirrhosis and cancer. It can be prevented by blood donation to maintain normal iron levels. It is unclear, however, whether treatment is necessary when individuals have moderate elevation of iron in the body. This research project will study the effects of treatment in this group by assessing a number of scans, questionnaires and blood tests in treated and untreated individuals.
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment is effective in preventing fractures in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.
The primary objective of the study is to compare overall survival of patients randomized to receiving custirsen in combination with docetaxel (Arm A) with patients randomized to receive docetaxel alone (Arm B).
A prospective, international, multi-center, randomized controlled trial comparing preservation of donor lungs using OCS-Lung perfusion device (Treatment Group) to cold flush and storage (Control Group).
To study the safety and effectiveness of multiple-doses of tralokinumab on pulmonary function in adults with mild to moderate idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). IPF is a chronic, progressive, irreversible, and usually fatal lung disease of unknown cause.
The investigators hypothesize that it is safe and effective to treat patients with choroidal neovascularisation (abnormal blood vessels growing under the retina) secondary to causes other than age related macular degeneration (AMD) and pigment epithelial detachments (blisters of fluid under the retina) secondary to AMD with ranibizumab (Lucentis). These groups of patients have to date been excluded from the multicentre trials demonstrating significant benefit of Ranibizumab in the treatment of AMD.
This randomized, open-label, multicenter study will evaluate the safety , efficacy and tolerability of the combination treatment RO5466731, RO5190591, ritonavir and Copegus (ribavirin) with or without RO5024048 in patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1. In Part 1, treatment-naïve patients will be randomized to receive treatment with RO5466731, RO5190591 plus ritonavir, and Copegus, with or without RO5024048. In Part 2, further treatment-naïve patients will receive a successful regimen from Part 1, or a reduced intensity regimen, and patients who have previously experienced null response to interferon-based treatment will be added to the study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Lotus™ Valve System for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in symptomatic subjects with severe calcific aortic stenosis who are considered high risk for surgical valve replacement.
This study will evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of Engerix™-B (hepatitis B vaccine) when administered as a primary vaccination course at 0, 1 and 6 months in adults with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of TRx0237 in the treatment of patients with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD).
