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 assess the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability profile of CSL's Influenza Vaccine administered intramuscularly against laboratory-confirmed influenza illness in a population defined as being not at risk of severe complications following influenza infection.
The prevalence of obesity has reached epidemic proportions and is associated with the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). A unifying theme has emerged over the past few years suggesting that lipid oversupply to metabolic organs responsible for glucose regulation leads to insulin resistance. Fitting with this, we and others have shown that increased lipid accumulation within skeletal muscle and/or liver is associated with impaired glucose uptake. However, the underlying mechanisms that mediate changes in muscle lipid metabolism are not yet known. The overall aim of this project is to examine metabolic effects of experimental weight gain in lean and overweight individuals with and without a genetic predisposition to type 2 diabetes. We hypothesise that lean subjects will increase fatty acid oxidation and upregulate mitochondrial oxidative capacity in muscle following overfeeding to protect against body weight gain and insulin resistance, but overweight subjects with a genetic predisposition to T2DM will have a defect in this ability.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 400 mg QD nevirapine extended release (NVP XR) formulation versus 200 mg BID nevirapine immediate release (NVP IR) in ARV therapy naïve HIV-1 infected patients after 48 weeks of treatment. Secondary objectives are to evaluate safety and pharmacokinetics of NVP XR and NVP IR.
The main objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of aflibercept (versus placebo) in increasing the overall survival in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with FOLFIRI (Irinotecan, 5-Fluorouracil, and Leucovorin) and that have previously failed an oxaliplatin based treatment for metastatic disease. The secondary objectives were to compare progression-free survival, to evaluate overall response rate, to evaluate the safety profile, to assess immunogenicity of intravenous (IV) aflibercept, and to assess pharmacokinetics of IV aflibercept in both treatment arms.
The purpose of this study was to determine the safety and tolerability of dasatinib when given in combination with lenalidomide and a low dose dexamethasone for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
Define the efficacy of CP-751,871 in patients with Ewing's sarcoma family of tumors
The IMPACT Study will investigate the potential clinical benefit of the combined use of BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring (HM) technology and a predefined anticoagulation plan compared to conventional device evaluation and physician-directed anticoagulation in patients with implanted dual-chamber defibrillators or cardiac resynchronization therapy devices.
PH-797804 is a potent ant-inflammatory drug that may reduce the inflammation that is associated with COPD. PH-797804 will be dosed to patients with COPD to evaluate its potential safety and efficacy profile in COPD.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a weekly subcutaneous dose of abatacept yields clinical efficacy comparable to that of monthly intravenous doses of abatacept in participants with rheumatoid arthritis and an inadequate response to current methotrexate therapy.
This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous Mircera and subcutaneous darbepoetin in the treatment of renal anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease who are not on dialysis and not receiving erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA). Patients will be randomized to receive either Mircera once every 4 weeks, at a starting dose of 1.2 micrograms/kg, or darbepoetin alfa once weekly, at a starting dose of 0.45 micrograms/kg. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
