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.
Studies indicate that men who have sex with men (MSM) have a high prevalence of anogenital Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and increased risk for HPV related anogenital lesions including anogenital warts, anal intraepithelial neoplasia (the abnormal proliferation of cells) and anal cancer. Currently in Australia, HPV vaccine for men is not covered by programs. This study will explore the prevalence of HPV infection and sexual behaviours associated with varying prevalence of HPV infection. The investigators will survey 200 MSM aged 16-20 years who just started their sexual life. The investigators will use a questionnaire to collect information of socio-demographic characteristics, lifetime sexual experience, recent sexual experience, the most recent sexual contact, sexually transmitted infections (STIs)/HIV history and testing history, HPV knowledge and attitude, smoking/alcohol/drug/circumcision. The investigators will also collect oral, penile and anal samples as well as blood samples to test for HPV DNA and antibody. The study will include four visits in the 12-month period. In each visit, participants will be asked to fill a questionnaire and provide oral, penile and anal samples as well as blood samples.
This is a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, multicenter, global Phase 3 study of IV to oral TR-701 FA 200 mg once daily for 6 days versus IV to oral Zyvox® (linezolid) 600 mg every 12 hours for 10 days for the treatment of ABSSSI in adults. Patients are to start treatment with at least 2 IV doses and may receive IV therapy for the entire treatment duration. Approximately 100 to 140 sites globally will participate in this study. Patients with an ABSSSI caused by suspected or documented gram positive pathogen(s) at baseline will be randomized 1:1 to study treatment.
This is a 8-year extension study in pediatric subjects who have been diagnosed with one of 3 subtypes of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) [extended oligoarticular JIA, enthestitis related arthritis (ERA), or psoriatic arthritis (PsA)] who have completed approximately 96 weeks of participation in study 0881A1-3338 (B1801014). The study contains an active treatment period, withdrawal/re-treatment period and a observational period (non-treatment).
Primary Objective: - Dose Ranging Phase: To evaluate the efficacy of daily oral doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg SAR302503 in patients with PV and ET who are resistant or intolerant to hydroxyurea (per European LeukemiaNet criteria) for : - Inducing absence of phlebotomy and a hematocrit below 45% for a minimum of 3 months in patients with polycythemia vera, and - Reduction of platelet count to ≤400 x 10x9/L for a minimum of 3 months in patients with essential thrombocythemia. - PV Dose Expansion Phase and ET Dose Ranging Phase (only 600 mg dose group): To evaluate the efficacy of daily oral SAR302503 in patients with PV and ET who are resistant or intolerant to hydroxyurea (per European LeukemiaNet criteria) for: - Inducing absence of phlebotomy eligibility beginning at Day 1 of Cycle 4 visit and continuing through Day 1 of Cycle 6 visit in patients with PV, and - Reduction of platelet count to ≤400 x 10x9/L beginning at Day 1 of Cycle 4 visit and continuing through Day 1 of Cycle 6 visit in patients with ET. Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the safety of SAR302503. - To evaluate the efficacy of SAR302503 in patients with PV who are resistant or intolerant to hydroxyurea for inducing absence of phlebotomy eligibility. - To evaluate the efficacy of SAR302503 in patients with ET who are resistant or intolerant to hydroxyurea for reduction of platelet counts. - To evaluate the efficacy of SAR302503 in inducing complete and partial responses beginning at Day 1 of Cycle 6 visit through Cycle 8. - To evaluate splenic response as measured by spleen volume using MRI or CT. - To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of SAR302503 after single and repeat doses. - To evaluate the pharmacodynamics of SAR302503 as measured by changes in JAK2V617F allele burden in patients with JAK2V617F mutation, and STAT3 phosphorylation inhibition. - To measure improvement in baseline myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN)-associated symptoms, as well as overall impact on quality of life. - To measure generic health-related quality of life and utility value using the EuroQol Group (EQ-5DTM) questionnaire.
The purpose of this study is to see if pralatrexate extends response and survival following CHOP-based chemotherapy (CHOP: cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) and if pralatrexate improves response in patients with partial response following CHOP-based chemotherapy. Patients will either receive pralatrexate or be under observation. All patients will receive vitamins B12 and folic acid and attend regular clinic visits to evaluate their disease and health.
Hypothesis: A single dose of prophylactic antibiotics is as effective as a three dose regime in preventing post-operative complications in paediatric patients with simple appendicitis. This project will compare patients 16 years and under with simple appendicitis (appendicitis that is not perforated or gangrenous). Patients will be randomly divided into two groups; - Group one will receive a single pre-operative dose of antibiotics (metronidazole 12.5mg/kg up to 500mg and cefazolin 25mg/kg up to 1g) and two 'doses' of normal saline (placebo) eight and sixteen hours after the initial dose, respectively. - Group two will receive one pre-operative dose of antibiotics (metronidazole 12.5mg/kg up to 500mg and cefazolin 25mg/kg up to 1g) and two post-operative doses, eight and sixteen hours after the first dose, respectively. Group allocation will be concealed from the patient and their guardian, the treating surgical team and outcome assessors (triple blinded). A process to rapidly reveal group allocation if required will be in place. The aim of the study is to determine if a single dose of antibiotics is as effective as three doses in preventing post-operative infection. This will be assessed by comparing: - Duration of hospital stay from operation until discharge, based on a standardised discharge criteria. - Development of wound infection or requirement of antibiotics in the six weeks post-operation - Need for re-admission. Information will be collected prospectively from each patient's hospital notes and from a follow-up phone call six weeks after the operation.
This study will investigate the individual safety and efficacy of two dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitors in patients with recurrent endometrial cancer.
The purpose of this study is to obtain evidence of safety and determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of NNZ-2566 in healthy volunteers, when administered orally.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate comparability of the ORR in patients with previously untreated, advanced stage FL who receive GP2013-treatment to patients who receive MabThera-treatment.
This randomized, multicenter, 2-arm, open-label study (TH3RESA) will evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in comparison with treatment of the physician's choice in patients with metastatic or unresectable locally advanced/recurrent HER2-positive breast cancer. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive either trastuzumab emtansine 3.6 mg/kg intravenously every 21 days or treatment of the physician's choice. Patients continue to receive study treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. This study is also known under Roche study protocol number BO25734.
