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 randomized, 3-arm, multicenter, phase III study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) with pertuzumab or trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) with pertuzumab-placebo (blinded for pertuzumab), versus the combination of trastuzumab (Herceptin) plus taxane (docetaxel or paclitaxel) in participants with HER2-positive progressive or recurrent locally advanced or previously untreated metastatic breast cancer. Participants will be randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms (Arms A, B or C). Arm A will be open-label, whereas Arms B and C will be blinded.
This randomized, blinded, parallel arm study evaluated the efficacy and safety of tocilizumab (RoActemra/Actemra) versus adalimumab as monotherapy in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who are intolerant of methotrexate or where continued treatment with methotrexate was considered inappropriate. Patients were randomized to receive either tocilizumab 8 mg/kg intravenously (iv) every 4 weeks plus placebo subcutaneously (sc) every 2 weeks, or adalimumab 40 mg sc every 2 weeks plus placebo iv every 4 weeks. Treatment was anticipated to last 24 weeks. With regard to the blind, the study nurse was unblinded due to the nature of the treatment administration, but the investigator and the patient remained blinded.
Primary Objective: - To assess the long term safety of Sarilumab (SAR153191/REGN88) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) Secondary Objective: - To assess the long term efficacy of Sarilumab (SAR153191/REGN88) in patients with AS
Rationale/Purpose: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is more effective in treating young patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This trial is studying several different combination chemotherapy regimens to compare how well they work in treating young patients with ALL. Study objectives Primary study questions: - Non high-risk (non-HR) precursor-B ALL (pB-ALL) patients with TEL/AML1-negative ALL or unknown TEL/AML1 status and flow cytometry minimal residual disease (MRD) in bone marrow on day 15 <0.1% or with TEL/AML1-positive ALL (randomized study question R1): Can the daunorubicin dose in Protocol IA be safely reduced by 50 % with a non-inferior EFS and a reduction of toxicity (treatment-related mortality and AE/SAE in Protocol I)? - Patients with pB-ALL and risk group medium risk (MR) (randomized study question R2): Can the clinical outcome be improved by protracted asparagine depletion achieved through application of intensified PEG-L-asparaginase during reintensification and early maintenance? - High-risk (HR) patients (as identified by day 33 - randomized study question RHR): Can the clinical outcome be improved by protracted exposure to PEG-L-asparaginase during Protocol IB? Secondary study questions: - Standard risk (SR) patients identified by at least one sensitive marker: Is the clinical outcome comparable to that obtained in SR patients (identified with two sensitive markers) in AIEOP-BFM ALL 2000, or can the outcome even be improved with the use of PEG-L-asparaginase instead of native E. coli L-ASP? - T-ALL non-HR patients: Can the high level of outcome which was obtained for these patients in study AIEOP-BFM ALL 2000 be preserved or even improved with the use of PEG-L-ASP instead of native E. coli L-ASP? - HR patients with persisting high MRD levels despite the use of the HR blocks in the intensified consolidation phase "MRD Non-Responders": Is it possible to improve the outcome and to achieve a further reduction of leukemic cell burden by administration of an innovative treatment schedule (DNX-FLA)? - Patients participating in the randomized asparaginase studies (pB-ALL/MR, HR): Are asparaginase activity and asparaginase antibodies associated with development of allergic reactions, and do they have an effect on the outcome of the patients? - What is the relative value of different methods of MRD monitoring in the definition of alternative stratification systems within a BFM-oriented protocol?
The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the safety of long-term VX-770 treatment in participants with cystic fibrosis (CF). The secondary objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of long-term VX-770 treatment in subjects with CF.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of prucalopride to placebo (an inactive substance that is compared with a drug to test whether the drug has a real effect in a clinical trial) in treatment of participants with chronic (very serious, life threatening) constipation (decreased number of or difficulty making bowel [the intestine] movements).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an early Calcineurin Inhibitor (CNI) to everolimus conversion at 10-14 weeks post transplantation improves renal allograft function without compromising efficacy compared to standard CNI treatment in de novo renal allograft recipients. In addition, the study is designed to evaluate the impact of a CNI-free regimen on evolution of cardiovascular parameters in de novo renal allograft recipients
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) ferumoxytol compared to IV iron sucrose for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia (IDA).
The purpose of this study is to determine the objective response rate of ABT-888 when given in combination with temozolomide versus pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) alone in subjects with recurrent high grade serous ovarian cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine if LY2382770 is safe and effective at protecting kidney function in participants with kidney disease due to diabetes.
