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 was an open-label, dose escalation study to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and clinical activity of GSK2118436 and GSK1120212 in combination. This study was designed in four parts. In Part A, the effect of repeat doses of GSK1120212 on the pharmacokinetics of single dose GSK2118436 was investigated prior to evaluating combination regimens. In Part B, the range of tolerated dose combinations was identified using a dose-escalation procedure. In Part C, different dose combinations of GSK2118436 and GSK1120212 were evaluated, based on results from the dose escalation cohorts. In Part D, the pharmacokinetics and safety of GSK2118436 administered as HPMC capsules alone and in combination with GSK1120212 was evaluated.
This is an extension study designed to assess the safety and durability of platelet count increases with romiplostim treatment of thrombocytopenic patients with immune (Idiopathic) thrombocytopenia purpura. This study is available to pediatric patients who have completed a previous romiplostim ITP study and meet the eligibility criteria of this study.
This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter study evaluating the efficacy and safety of two doses of favipiravir in adult patients with uncomplicated influenza.
This was a 10-week, placebo-controlled, randomized study to investigate the effect of injectable IL-1B antagonist, Canakinumab , in participants with impaired glucose tolerance or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) already treated on different background diabetes therapies.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of an investigational therapeutic agent (Cvac)in ovarian cancer patients in first or second remission and to determine its ability to prevent cancer from returning.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the bone ingrowth after implantation of the study device. This study will also document any device-related surgical complications or adverse radiographic observations. Improvement in pain, function, and health economic data will be compared with improvements documented with other joint systems.
Vasculitis is group of diseases where inflammation of blood vessels is the common feature. Patients typically present with fever, fatigue, weakness and muscle and joint aches. These symptoms are very common among many different diseases, not just vasculitis. A clustering of other symptoms, physical examination findings, blood tests, radiology and biopsy help make the diagnosis. There are currently no criteria to help doctors make a diagnosis of vasculitis when a patient presents with these non specific symptoms and they are reliant on previous experience and disease definitions. One of the aims of this project is to develop diagnostic criteria for the primary systemic vasculitides (granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's), microscopic polyangiitis, Churg Strauss syndrome, polyarteritis nodosa, giant cell arteritis, Takayasu arteritis). We, the investigators, will do this by studying a large group of patients with vasculitis and comparing them to a large group of patients that present in a similar way, but do not have vasculitis. By comparing the 2 groups we will create a list of items to differentiate between vasculitis and 'vasculitis mimics'. We also aim to update the current classification criteria. Classification criteria are used to group patients into different types of vasculitis, once a diagnosis of vasculitis has been made, and are useful for studying patients in clinical trials with similar or identical diseases. The current classification criteria (American college of Rheumatology 1990 criteria) were developed 20 years ago, before the availability of some important diagnostic tests (e.g. antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies [ANCA]), and are now not consistent with some of the current disease definitions. Therefore to progress future research in vasculitis, it is important that the classification criteria are updated. We will recruit 260 patients with each of the 6 types of vasculitis and compare them with 1300 controls (patients with the 5 other types of vasculitis), in order to determine the optimal combination of symptoms, signs and investigations that classify each person into the appropriate group.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ALN-RSV01 plus standard of care in RSV infected lung transplant patients
The aim of this study is to assess whether increasing oral doses of Riociguat are safe and improve the well-being, symptoms and outcome in patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with left ventricular systolic dysfunction
The primary objective of the investigation is to determine whether the addition of exercise (resistance training or modified physiotherapy) improves functional capacity in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) participants undergoing Disease Modifying Therapy (DMT) treatment. We hypothesize that the Progressive Resistance Training (PRT) will improve functional capacity without increasing the risk of relapses in participants undergoing standard DMT treatment. The secondary objectives are to determine whether exercise (resistance training or physiotherapy) improves fatigue, mood and Quality of Life (QoL) in MS participants undergoing DMT treatment. Also as a secondary objective, the study aims at determining whether exercise (resistance training or modified physiotherapy) has an impact on Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), time to first relapse, number of relapse free participants, and immunological factors. We hypothesize that the exercise (resistance training) will improve fatigue, mood and QoL and that an impact on immunological factors will be seen in participants even though they are undergoing standard DMT treatment.
