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.
Aim of this trial: To investigate whether post-craniotomy analgesia with (i) intravenous (IV) parecoxib plus intravenous paracetamol is superior to (ii) intravenous paracetamol alone. Study Hypothesis: Post-operative analgesia with intravenous parecoxib in combination with intravenous paracetamol will be superior to intravenous paracetamol alone.
Current cortical EEG based depth of anaesthesia monitors do not accurately reflect the effect of opioid drugs. We have developed a new theoretically-based method of analysing the EEG. Our hypothesis is that this new method will more accurately predict depth of anaesthesia than the Bispectral Index (BIS) monitor in patients having elective surgery.
The purpose of this study is determine whether a single IV dose of PF-04360365 is safe and well tolerated in Adults with Mild to Moderate Alzheimer's disease.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether AZD2171 can effectively improve time to tumour progression when added to fulvestrant in patients with advanced hormone sensitive breast cancer who progressed on prior hormonal therapy.
This study has been designed as a randomized, double-blind, controlled, study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two once daily intravenous peramivir regimens (200 mg and 400 mg) versus oral oseltamivir phosphate (75 mg twice daily) in hospitalized subjects with acute serious or potentially life threatening influenza. Study treatments will be provided for up to 5 consecutive days.
The objective of this observational study is to obtain long -term clinical and patient reported outcomes on the use of the GYNECARE family of TVT (Tension-Free Vaginal Tape) systems in women with stress urinary incontinence.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of BHT-3021 injections given weekly for 12 weeks and to evaluate the effect of BHT-3021 on antibody and immune (T cell) responses to autoantigens (e.g. insulin). Changes in pancreatic beta cell function, insulin requirements and blood glucose levels will also be evaluated.
Primary Objectives 1. To test the feasibility, in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis, of using an 'aggressive' treatment algorithm to bring a short term treatment objective (STO) within the normal or an arbitrarily defined 'desirable' range. 2. To determine whether patients with active rheumatoid arthritis randomly allocated to a particular STO show a reduced rate of Magnetic resonance imaging damage progression at two years compared to those randomly allocated to usual care. Secondary Objectives 1. To establish the relationship between achieving a given STO or combination of STOs and damage progression. 2. To identify the characteristics of responders and non-responders with respect to STO achievement and predictors of greater and lesser degrees of damage progression.
This single arm study will assess the safety and efficacy of Avastin combined with platinum-containing chemotherapy regimens in patients with advanced or recurrent non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Avastin will be given as first-line treatment in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy or in combination with any standard of care NSCLC first-line chemotherapy used in line with the licensed national prescribing information. Eligible patients will receive Avastin (15mg/kg iv on day 1 of each 3 week cycle) concomitantly with chemotherapy. Avastin treatment will continue after completion of chemotherapy cycles until disease progression, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
The purpose of this trial is to see which dose of liposomal amphotericin B is the safest when used as a preventer against invasive fungal infection in patients with acute leukaemia who are undergoing chemotherapy.
