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 was an extension to study CQTI571A2102 and was to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of QTI571 (imatinib) in severe pulmonary arterial hypertension patients.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of QTI571 (imatinib) on pharmacokinetics of bosentan and sildenafil at steady state when co-administered to participants with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of secukinumab in patients with active psoriatic arthritis who are intolerant to or have had an inadequate response to NSAIDs, DMARDs and / or TNFα inhibitor therapy.
This is a feasibility study enrolling up to 40 patients in Australia and Europe. The primary aim of the study is to demonstrate the renal denervation with the Symplicity Catheter is safe and determine the evidence of a response to renal denervation in patients with Heart Failure.
Atherosclerosis is a disorder in the body that is characterized by cholesterol plaque formation in various arteries, causing narrowing of the artery and a limitation in blood flow. Depending on which artery the plaque is in, different clinical conditions occur. In adults common areas include in the heart arteries, in the neck arteries and in the aorta and lower leg arteries. When it affects the lower limbs it is known as peripheral arterial disease - PAD. The main symptom of PAD is called "claudication" and is described as pain or discomfort in the legs when walking. The aim of PAD treatment is to improve walking distance and quality of life in those with intermittent claudication, and to decrease long term complications including illness and death. An important controlling factor of these cholesterol plaques is a type of cholesterol called HDL (High density lipoprotein). This study aims to look at the effect that raising HDL for a prolonged period has on blood markers of inflammation and on the cholesterol plaque composition in patients with PAD. This investigation will also have relevance to the effects of HDL elevation on plaque composition and inflammation in other areas of the body including the heart, neck and brain arteries. Twenty (20) PAD patients with will be recruited into the study. The investigators anticipate recruitment of all 20 patients within 12 months. The 20 PAD patients all must have significant leg pains when walking, and after review by a doctor, be determined to have narrowings in the leg artery that they will plan to operate on. Patients will be randomized to either niacin (Tredaptive, 1g/day) or matching placebo for 8 weeks (prior to operation) After the 8 week period they will then go on to receive the normal interventional treatment as planned. Blood samples will be taken at enrollment and at the 8 week mark prior to surgery. The plaque that is removed at the time of operation will also be sent to the lab for analysis. The investigators hope to show with this study that by raising the levels of HDL with extended release niacin, there are positive effects on the amount of cholesterol in the plaque, and on the markers in the blood of inflammation and thrombosis. The hypothesis is that elevation of HDL with Niacin will have anti-atherosclerotic actions including: Lower plaque lipid content, Reduced plaque macrophage infiltration, Reduced monocyte activation, Reduced neutrophil adhesion, Inhibition of inflammation and Inhibition of thrombotic markers.
This is a study of allopurinol in gout patients with hyperuricemia that will evaluate the safety and serum urate (sUA) lowering capability of allopurinol as a urate lowering therapy (ULT) for up to six months. Allopurinol will be dosed according to the local product label, at the discretion of the Investigator, to achieve an optimal, medically appropriate dose for each patient.
This randomized, open-label, multicenter, 2-arm study will investigate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of bevacizumab when added to postoperative radiotherapy with concomitant and adjuvant TMZ as compared to postoperative radiotherapy with concomitant and adjuvant TMZ alone in paediatric participants with newly diagnosed histologically confirmed World Health Organization (WHO) Grade III or IV localized supratentorial or infratentorial cerebellar or peduncular high grade glioma (HGG). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms. Upon approval by the Health Authorities/Ethics Committees in the participating countries, an additional young participant cohort (YPC) (children >/= 6 months and < 3 years of age with progressive or relapsed metastatic or localized, supra- or infratentorial, non-brain stem WHO Grade III or IV HGG) was included in the study. Children in the YPC will receive bevacizumab and TMZ without radiation therapy. The anticipated time on study treatment is over 1 year.
The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and effectiveness of USL261 for the outpatient treatment of seizure clusters.
This study will be a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple dose study in which approximately 24 subjects with SCLE will be enrolled. Cohort 1 will consist of 12 subjects (6 AMG 557: 6 placebo) randomized to receive AMG 557 210 mg or matching placebo. Cohort 2 will consist of 12 subjects (6 AMG 557: 6 placebo) randomized to receive AMG 557 140 mg or matching placebo. Enrollment of Cohort 2 (140 mg) will be initiated after enrollment of Cohort 1 (210 mg) is completed.
The AC-052-391-study is a phase 3 study to investigate whether adding bosentan to inhaled nitric oxide in newborns with persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborns (PPHN) is a supporting and safe therapy and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of bosentan and its metabolites.
