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 will evaluate the efficacy and safety of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with active systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) who have an inadequate clinical response to NSAIDs and corticosteroids. In Part I of the study patients will be randomized 2:1 to receive iv infusions of RoActemra/Actemra (8mg/kg iv for patients >=30kg, or 12mg/kg for patients <30kg) or placebo, every 2 weeks. Stable NSAIDs and methotrexate will be continued throughout. After 12 weeks of double-blind treatment, all patients will have the option to enter Part II of the study to receive open-label treatment with RoActemra/Actemra for a further 92 weeks, followed by a 3-year continuation of the study in Part III in which, for patients who meet specific criteria, an optional alternative dosing schedule decreasing the study drug administration frequency will be introduced. Anticipated time on study treatment is up to 5 years.
The purpose of this study is to measure the decay characteristics of HIV in the blood of patients after taking a combination of anti-HIV drugs, which includes a new class of anti-HIV drug, an integrase inhibitor. This study explores how this new combination of therapy reduces virus in various compartments of the body and immune system.
The purpose of this extension trial was to further evaluate the safety and tolerability of oral cladribine in subjects who have previously completed treatment within Trial 25643 (CLARITY). This trial also explored clinical benefit of prolonged 192-week versus 96-week treatment.
This randomized phase III trial is comparing how well fludarabine and cyclophosphamide work when given together with or without rituximab in treating patients with previously untreated mantle cell lymphoma.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of 2.0 mg exenatide once weekly and insulin glargine, titrated to glucose targets using the algorithm described by Yki- Järvinen et al.(2007), with respect to glycemic improvements, body weight, fasting lipids, safety, and tolerability.
This aim of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of neuraminidase inhibitors as short-term prophylaxis against pandemic influenza infection in people who have close familial contact with the disease. The study is observational only. The primary measure used in this study will be the incidence of symptomatic pandemic influenza in patients receiving prophylaxis. Seroconversion to pandemic influenza, the incidence of adverse events and the relative effectiveness of oseltamivir and zanamivir prophylaxis will also be examined. This project will commence upon pandemic influenza being declared in Australia, Hong Kong or Singapore. Data will be analysed as quickly as possible to help inform the continued use of neuraminidase inhibitor therapy as a cornerstone of the public health agency response to pandemic influenza.
A Multicentre, Open-label, Prospective Long-term Study Evaluating the Clinical Benefit and Effectiveness of SEROQUEL XR® (Quetiapine Fumarate Extended-Release Tablets) in Subjects with Schizophrenia.
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of forodesine in CLL patients
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of 100 mg sildenafil on clitoral engorgement in pre-menopausal women, as well as examining the safety and toleration of the drug.
This aim of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of neuraminidase inhibitors in patients who have a clinical diagnosis of pandemic influenza infection. The study is observational only. The primary measure used in this study will be mortality. Symptom severity and duration, treatment limiting side effects, demographic information and resistance will also be examined. This project will commence upon pandemic influenza being declared in Australia, Hong Kong or Singapore. Data will be analysed as quickly as possible to help inform the continued use of neuraminidase inhibitor therapy as a cornerstone of the public health agency response to pandemic influenza.
